She's the Boss (1995)

Dan Butler: Bulldog Briscoe

Quotes 

• Roz : All right, all right, listen up everyone, I've been working the office grapevine, I've got the scoop on the new boss.

  Gil Chesterton : Is she going to fire me?

  Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe : Hey, first things first! Is she baggable?

  Roz : Forget it, Bulldog; she'd have you for breakfast.

  Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe : Right, like I ever stick around that long.

  Roz : Anyway, the word is that she's like this psycho perfectionist. Everyone at her last station was scared to death of her. She's kind of becoming my idol.

  Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe : Hey, what if she hates sports? I need this job! I just promised my mom a new pacemaker! Wait, think I could get her to believe I said "pasta maker?"

• Frasier : [Frasier and Roz have been exiled to the wee hours]  Really stunk up the airwaves with that one, didn't we?

  Roz : Frasier, I want you to flash forward to tonight. It's sometime after midnight. Dennis Abbott and I have just had a glorious meal at Le Ralee. Dennis has just asked me back to his penthouse apartment to see his priceless collection of silk sheets. And I lean forward and whisper, "I can't. I have to go to work in an hour." What is wrong with this picture?

  Frasier : Well, for starters, you at Le Ralee. It's a two-week wait.

  Roz : So is Dennis Abbott! Frasier, we have got to get our old time slot back!

  Frasier : Don't worry, Roz, we will she just moved us to break our spirit.

  Roz : Well, she can saddle me up and ride me around the room! I can't do this again!

  [They leave the booth. Kate is waiting in the hallway] 

  Kate Costas : Good morning!

  Frasier : Hello.

  Kate Costas : Enjoying your new time slot?

  Frasier : As a matter of fact, I found it invigorating! Didn't you, Roz? Remember that woman who called in, uh, you know, with the delusions of grandeur? Couldn't understand why nobody liked her.

  Kate Costas : Well, I hope you explained to her that it's not important that people like her, as long as they respect her.

  Frasier : Oh yes, respect is important. So is self-respect.

  Kate Costas : Oh, yes, yes, but some people - and this is so unfortunate - can't tell the difference between self-respect and pig-headedness.

  Frasier : Yes, but those people are usually rigid little demagogues who don't know the difference between the kind of respect that is earned and the kind of respect that is irrespective... of what others expect.

  Kate Costas : Isn't it sad when bad things happen to good sentences?

  Frasier : I think I made myself clear.

  Kate Costas : Well, I really do have work to do. I've got to find somebody for your old time slot - now that it's free!

  Frasier : Good luck!

  [Kate leaves] 

  Roz : Nice going, Frasier; now she's never gonna give in.

  Frasier : Steady, Roz. She may have been able to intimidate people in other situations, but here at KACL she'll find that we are NOT a bunch of spineless twits!

  [Bulldog sticks his head out of a door] 

  Bob 'Bulldog' Briscoe : [Whispering]  Hey, is she gone?
