- [Millie doesn't know the full story about Stacey]
- Rob Petrie: Didn't you tell her?
- Laura Petrie: Well, Rob, you told me not to.
- Rob Petrie: You mean that WORKS?
- Laura Petrie: Sometimes.
- Julie Kinkaid: Say, Stacey, do you mind if I invited myself to your opening?
- Stacey Petrie: Oh... Nuts.
- Julie Kinkaid: What's the matter?
- Stacey Petrie: Well, I-I wanted to invite you.
- Rob Petrie: Well, it's a basic business principle, Millie. You should never open a nightclub the night after you've gone and told the girl you love that you're not James Garner. Very bad for business.
- Rob Petrie: You were supposed to see Julie hours ago.
- Stacey Petrie: Well, yeah, I... I know, but I had this thing to do.
- Rob Petrie: What's that?
- Stacey Petrie: Work up courage.
- Rob Petrie: Uh, Millie, you wanna come down and help us decorate?
- Millie Helper: No thanks.
- Rob Petrie: Well... go home.
- Rob Petrie: [hoping to lift Stacey's spirits] Honey, would you please tell him how you felt about me when we first met? Just tell him, will ya?
- Laura Petrie: Well, I couldn't STAND Rob. I thought he was arrogant, repulsive, insufferable... Just hearing his voice, Stacey, used to make my flesh crawl. I thought that he was just about the most...
- [notices Rob's pained expression and stops]
- Rob Petrie: What we're trying to say, Stace, is that... maybe it isn't over with Julie. You know, I mean, look at us. Our beginnings couldn't have been any worse.
- Laura Petrie: Yeah, I thought he was brash and vulgar...
- Rob Petrie: I think we covered that, honey. I... It's just that, the thing is that, there's not just one person for every other person, Stace.
- Laura Petrie: Right! If Rob had continued to revolt me, I have no doubt in this world I would have found somebody just as nice as Rob - maybe even nicer.
- Rob Petrie: And I wouldn't exactly have jumped off a cliff if I hadn't married Laura, either. I could have... I could have... There's no telling what kind of a great girl I might have found.
- [Rob and Laura stare at each other, both egos a little wounded]
- Stacey Petrie: I don't care. She's outta my system. I never want to see her again.
- [turns around and sees Julie]
- Stacey Petrie: I see her again. She's back in my system.
- Rob Petrie: He might have ended up in the gutter with that drunken actor, Willie Cooke again.
- Willie Cooke: Sir, I have an announcement to make. I have left the gutter for good.
- Lou Temple: See you tomorrow night at the grand opening.
- Laura Petrie: What time does the crowd get here?
- Lou Temple: A crowd never gets here.
