Andy Travis : OK, let me ask you this. Can't we do a cheap-o commercial? I mean, hire professional musicans, but, uh, maybe sing the jingle ourselves?
Venus Flytrap : Can anyone around here sing?
Herb Tarlek : Any jerk can sing. Now listen, these are the copy points that you gotta work into the jingle, okay? Now. A: All weather floral arrangements.
Venus Flytrap : What does that mean?
Dr. Johnny Fever : Uh, that's plastic flowers.
Herb Tarlek : B: Maintenance-free artificial turf.
Dr. Johnny Fever : Plastic grass.
Herb Tarlek : C: They accept all major credit cards.
Dr. Johnny Fever : That'd be your plastic money.
Herb Tarlek : Plus, six convenient locations, open weekends, all night hot line, group discount rates *and* free parking.

Bailey Quarters : Herb, why don't you just do your job?
Herb Tarlek : What?
Bailey Quarters : You heard me.
Herb Tarlek : Look, Bailey, I just did. I asked Mr. Morrison if I could sell him something, he said no, that's it.
Bailey Quarters : Then why don't you just call somebody else?
Herb Tarlek : Bailey, it's not that easy, believe me.
Bailey Quarters : If you could get some new accounts, then we could all get raises. And, and Les, Les could buy the traffic helicopter he always wanted.
Les Nessman : [rising from his desk seat] Make a call, Herb.
