Episode Quotes |

Herb: Morning, Jennifer.
Jennifer: Morning, Herb.
Herb: Any calls?
Jennifer: No.
Herb: Messages?
Jennifer: No.
Herb: Mail?
Jennifer: None.
Herb: Okay, how about lunch?
Jennifer: No lunch either.
Herb: Dinner?
Jennifer: Busy.
Herb: Okay, how about later at my place?
Jennifer: You're married, Herb.
Herb: Oh, yeah.
| Jennifer: Would you like to see the Big Guy?
Andy: The Big Guy?
Jennifer: The Skipper, the Chief, the Head Honcho... the jerk who runs this place?
| Jennifer: (on the phone) Mr Carlson, Mr Travis is here to see you. Travis. I don't know, he claims to be the new program director.
Andy: I'm from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Never really met the Big Guy before, he hired me over the phone.
Jennifer: (reassuringly) Well, then, you have nothing to worry about. (phone buzzes and she picks it up - speaks into phone) Yes, he's still here.
| Jennifer: (speaking about Les) At least he's not always pawing and mauling you, constantly on the make, dying for some steamy one-night stand (she stands above Andy to water the plant, and he blinks and rubs his eyes as if they hurt) of unbridled passion in some out-of-the-way hotel room. You know what I mean?
Andy: I sure do.
Jennifer: You're not like that, are you?
Andy: Who me? Oh no, heck no.
Jennifer: How come?
Andy: I don't know.
| Andy: You know, I quit my job in Santa Fe.
Mr Carlson: You did?
Andy: Yeah, took an apartment here in Cincinnati, too.
Mr Carlson: Ooo! Do you think that's wise?
Andy: Mr Carlson, I talked to you on the phone. You promised me a free hand to run this station.
Mr Carlson: I should never use the phone. Cut that thing in half - just use it for listening.
Andy: I made a big mistake in coming here.
Mr Carlson: Hey, where you goin', Cowboy?
Andy: I don't know, but I know where you're going.
Mr Carlson: Yeah?
Andy: Yessir. You're going back to playin' music that was way out of date twenty years ago, and losing a hundred thousand every year.
Mr Carlson: Where'd you get a figure like that?
Andy: From you.
Mr Carlson: Oh, yeah, right.
| Mr Carlson: We used to make money around here, you know. 'Course, that was back in the days when music was music, and men were men, and fish were fish. Now I don't know what the hell's going on.
| Mr Carlson: I can get tough. I can be mean. I can make those hard decisions. And the first decision we're gonna hafta make round her is what to do about Momma.
| Mr Carlson: I am in charge here, and don't you forget it buster! But sometimes Momma scares me a little bit.
| Andy: Mr Carlson, let me ask you another thing - does your mother want this station to make money?
Mr Carlson: Boy! Does she! She gets this look in her eyes when she starts talking about money, starts making this k-k-k-k noise down deep in her throat.
| Mr Carlson: These changes - they, uh, they wouldn't necessitate the, uh, playing of rock and roll music, would they?
Andy: Possibly. (hangs up a poster of KISS)
Mr Carlson: Dear God, she's gonna kill us all!
