Quotes35

  • Mike: My grandmother thought that a homosexual was a person who slept with one person their whole life. We were gonna let it slide but she kept telling the mailman she was a homosexual.
  • Paul: I can't seem to get Claudia pregnant. Every night she's on my back riding me.
  • Mike: I think I've zeroed in on your problem.
  • Caitlin: Mike, believe it or not, the whole universe does not revolve around you.
  • Mike: Are you calling my mom a liar?
  • Mike: There are 10 commandments. I'd like your dates to check out on at least 7 of them.
  • [the staff is concerned that the mayor may cheat on his wife]
  • Mike: All right, everybody huddle up, close your eyes, I want to paint you a mental picture; the mayor is very vulnerable tonight, there are a lot of reporters here tonight, and also in attendance is a woman I will refer to simply as "The Shark", whereas the Mayor is like an older, slow-moving sea lion.
  • Stuart: [French accent] I will stay aboard the Calypso, while my assistant, Mike, dive into the ocean to join in the life and death struggle between the shark and the noble sea lion.
  • Mayor Winston: Mike, look out that window. We preside over the greatest city in the world.
  • Mike: Sir, that's New Jersey.
  • Caitlin: I'm gonna run this campaign, I'm gonna win it and you can't stop me.
  • Mike: Let's not get so dramatic, okay? This is not some cheesy soap opera.
  • [James has been told to look after the Mayor's daughter]
  • Stuart: Hey Mike. I'm free. Why don't you let me look after the Mayor's daughter?
  • Mike: The same reason they don't give guns to monkeys.
  • Mike: Look at Dick Clark. Not a grey hair on his head and he's as popular now as he was 100 years ago.
  • Mike: Anybody read this? Bingo died.
  • Karen: Ohh! Who's Bingo?
  • Mike: Only the city's most decorated police dog.
  • Nikki: Oh, yeah, right. He pulled that drowning kid out of the reservoir.
  • James: And didn't he sniff out 10 kilos of cocaine at La Guardia?
  • Mike: Yeah. Poor little guy didn't sleep for weeks after that.
  • Mike: My friend Sebastian saw you at a dance club Friday night.
  • Stacey: How'd he know it was me
  • Mike: You had your tongue in his mouth
  • Mike: I know the German word for constipation, which I believe is farfrompoopin.
  • Mike: Why don't you like me anymore?
  • Nikki: I don't want to talk to you about this. You're just going to confuse me. You're too charming, you're too smart, you're too clever.
  • Mike: I can change.
  • [Stuart is making fun of Carter's boyfriend, who is a boxer]
  • Mike: That's right, Stuart. Taunt the professional ass kicker.

  • Caitlin: Yes you are. I can feel "it."
  • Mike: That's a tire iron.
  • Caitlin: I don't care what sick name you call it! Get it off me!
  • [Pulls out a tire iron]
  • Mike: See.
  • Caitlin: Ok. Then what is "that!
  • Mike: Ok. I am a little excited.
  • [Caitlin kissed Mike when there was turbulence]
  • Mike: I get it. So whenever you're scared, you make out with guy nearest to you. Someday, you're going to make some mugger really happy.
  • Mike: Hey, that is it. I'm officially taking down the suggestion box. "Wisconsin Rules!" is not a suggestion.
  • James: I know, I just wanted to hear someone else say it. Wisconsin Rules!
  • [On erections]
  • Nikki: Can't you guys control those things?
  • Stuart: Not always.
  • Mike: You can scold it, or smack it around a little bit. That only seems to encourage it.
  • Nikki: I am fascinated.
  • James: Sometimes all it takes is a thought, memory... sometimes all it takes is a slight breeze.
  • Mike: Now, I don't want to hear any excuses.
  • Stuart: You sure? 'Cause I've been saving the doozy. It starts out as an excuse but I end up blaming James.
  • Mayor Winston: Are you sure this is the best title for my autobiography? "Winston On Winston"?
  • Mike: Hey, as long there aren't two guys on the cover, I think we're okay.
