By the end, when Bill ''still'' refuses after Hank sacrifices his Cowboys game tickets to save him, Hank finally decided to have Dale deliver his ''blistering'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, which he had been holding back the whole episode to the point of practically being ready to burst it out by the end.
