Rob Petrie : That old Hap Spangler used to run a pretty tough school, but I learned more from him than all the other people I EVER worked for.

Rob Petrie : [gestures to Laura] And now all of this.
Laura Petrie : Well, old Hap may have been responsible for getting you all THAT this but THIS this I gave you.

Rob Petrie : How are ya, Hap?

Rob Petrie : Uh, Hap, I don't exactly know how to say this...
Happy Spangler : Well I do, so let me say it for you: "Hap, whatever happened to you? You used to be one of the biggest radio writers in the world. I thought you were dead. What're you doing in a haberdashery store selling ties." Is that what you're about to say?

Rob Petrie : Oh, Buddy, the thing was too long. It was in bad taste. It wasn't even funny.
Buddy Sorrell : Well, aside from that, what didn't you like?
