Lucia Bustamente : Mister Bustamente's a big doomb toorkey!
Jack Tripper : Isn't that interesting how some Italian words sound exactly like English.

Chrissy Snow : [threw away the day's mail] What do you want me to do about it? Go down to the city dump and dig up ten blocks of trash?
Jack Tripper : [considers her offer] No, that would take too long.
[exasperated, slams his hand into his fist]
Janet Wood : Jack, couldn't the Government just rush out a duplicate check?
Jack Tripper : The Government *rush*?
[cynical laugh]

Jack Tripper : Where are the loan papers?
Chrissy Snow : There aren't any. He said all he needed was your name, your address and your next of kin.
-
Jack Tripper : Okay, Chrissy, what's this Bustamante's address? I - I gotta get this money back to him right away.
Chrissy Snow : Oh, you don't have to worry. He said when it was time he'd come looking for you.

Janet Wood : You can't go through with this!
Jack Tripper : Why not? She seems very anxious to get right to work and make something.

Jack Tripper : Oh, come on!
[full implications dawn upon him]
Jack Tripper : What?

Jack Tripper : Yeah, Janet, she's a married woman, and her husband's a real tough cookie. Are you sure she was talking about getting it on with me?
Janet Wood : Jack, you don't have to understand Italian to know what that lady was saying. I mean, she was shouting it in body language.
Chrissy Snow : I thought she was getting a little worked up to be thinking of macaroni.
Jack Tripper : Okay, okay, you girls are gonna have to help me. If you hear anything that sounds like I'm in trouble in that kitchen, you come in fast, okay?
Janet Wood : But, Jack, you know I have to get back to the flower shop.
Jack Tripper : I know. But, Janet, please... I need you!
Janet Wood : Jack, I'm sorry, but this is my job we're talking about!
[rushes off]
Janet Wood : I'm gonna be late!
[on her way out]
Jack Tripper : I need some help!
Janet Wood : Bye!
[door slams]
Jack Tripper : [no other way out] Chrissy... Chrissy... Look, will you help me, and - and not leave me alone with her?
Chrissy Snow : You want me to protect your honor?
[goofy laugh]
Jack Tripper : Chrissy! I'm serious!
-
Jack Tripper : [tries fending off Mrs. Bustamente's dangerous intentions] Don't run the hair through your fingers!

Jack Tripper : [to amorous Mrs. Bustamente:] Hang on one second, will ya?
[pops out of the kitchen]
Jack Tripper : Chrissy! Why didn't you come in here to help me?
Chrissy Snow : You said to come when you were in trouble. It sounded like you were having a ball!
