Quotes
-
Bailey Quarters : [entering uncertainly] Excuse me, Andy, am I interrupting anything important?
Andy Travis : Uh, believe me, it's nothing important.
Bailey Quarters : Well, Andy, I, uh, uh... I sort of had an idea. It's, uh, pretty bad, I bet.
Bailey Quarters : [scoffing] Probably something we shouldn't do.
[Bailey gives a self-conscious giggle]
Andy Travis : Bailey...
Bailey Quarters : [very self-conscious] But I read about it somewhere.
Andy Travis : Bailey!
Bailey Quarters : Yes?
Andy Travis : What's the idea?
Bailey Quarters : Well, there's a station in Atlanta that sponsors a raft race. Maybe we should do something like that.
Andy Travis : [placing an encouraging arm around Bailey's shoulders] Well, that's... that's a pretty good idea, except I'm afraid the Ohio river runs a little fast. People could get killed.
Dr. Johnny Fever : [unmoved by such prospects] Nobody said it was gonna be easy. Next problem?
Andy Travis : Johnny, please...
Dr. Johnny Fever : [shaking his head] Okay, I got a perfect idea. Way I see it, we start with, uh, Bailey, and Jennifer, uh, a sizable crowd, uh, a certain amount of nudity...
Venus Flytrap : Here, here!
Andy Travis : [urgently whispering] Johnny, sit down.
[Johnny obeys and sits down]
Les Nessman : [entering the room] Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt, but I have a question about my news program.
Andy Travis : Oh sure, Les.
Dr. Johnny Fever : [to Venus] You know, we could blow the station up. That would grab the headlines.
Venus Flytrap : Or we could just burn it down.
Bailey Quarters : [to Andy] I like the nudity idea better.
Les Nessman : [just before leaving the room] Perhaps I could come back later.
