Keith Partridge
- Danny: ...Don't you think one genius in the family is enough?
- Keith: Who might that be?
- Danny: Modesty prevents me from stating the obvious.
- Shirley Renfrew Partridge: Danny...!
- Danny: Well, at least I know my limitations. All I want to be is Howard Hughes.
- Keith: Then why don't you disappear?
- Danny: I refuse to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
- Tracy Partridge: [referring to Danny] Where's the big typhoon?
- Laurie Partridge: You mean *tycoon*.
- Keith: A typhoon is a big wind.
- Tracy Partridge: I know what I said!
- Laurie Partridge: Keith, don't you ever knock before coming into a person's room?
- Keith: You're not a person, you're my sister.
- Shirley Renfrew Partridge: There's no sense in waiting up. Laurie's in good hands.
- Danny: That's what I'm afraid of.
- Keith: ...I wouldn't worry about him. He's an archaeologist. He can always dig up a girl.
- Danny: [Keith and Danny are waiting for Laurie to come home from a date with a minister. She enters the front door] Well?
- Laurie Partridge: Well, what?
- Keith: Tell us what a minister does on a date!
- Danny: I bet he took you to see the Ten Commandments.
- Keith: No. Too racy.
- Laurie Partridge: What makes you think we went to a movie?
- Keith: C'mon, fill us in on the details.
- Laurie Partridge: You really want to know where we went?
- Keith: Yeah.
- Laurie Partridge: Well, we couldn't decide on what movie to see, so... We went straight to Muldoon's Point.
- [she goes upstairs]
- Danny: I wonder how *he* explains lipstick on his collar?
- Shirley Renfrew Partridge: Danny, when will Keith be able to pay back the money he owes us?
- Danny: If I have it my way, he'll be able to pay in about a year.
- Keith: A year!
- Danny: If Keith has it his way, we'll have to wait for the reading of his will.
- Keith: [the Partridge Family bus detours through the woods en route to their next gig. Danny takes Chris and Tracy for a walk. Tracy and Chris return sans Danny; both are covered with mud, and beaming excitedly] What happened to you guys? You're a mess!
- Tracy Partridge: Danny found this great place to play!
- Shirley Renfrew Partridge: And he didn't come back with you two? Where *is* Danny?
- Danny: [off in the distance] HEEELP!
- [That "great place to play" turns out to be a pool of quicksand]
- Reuben Kincaid: What do eleven-year-olds do on a date?
- Keith: I don't know. They can't neck, Danny doesn't have one.
- Reuben Kincaid: Wish I'd said that.
- Keith: Mmmm. Glad I did.
- Laurie Partridge: ...Are you saying my friends are ding-a-lings?
- Keith: Not all of them. Only the ones I've met.
- Shirley Renfrew Partridge: I think it's wonderful the way this whole family pitches in to help.
- Keith: You know, Mom... If you weren't always busy cleaning the house, you wouldn't be so tired.
- Keith: ...I'm not going to fight you, Goose. I'll fight you for something I believe in, but I'm not going to fight you just because you're ego's hurt. It's just not a good enough reason.
- Keith: ...I'm beginning to realize that responsibilities are something you have to assume gradually.
- Shirley Renfrew Partridge: Well, you are a little young to be raising four kids.
- Keith: I'm old enough to handle them, all right. It just doesn't leave enough time to do my homework.
