Quotes2

  • Bailey Quarters: [to Herb about a major error he made] Do you think you should be fired?
  • Herb Tarlek: Yeah. As a matter of fact, I do. What do you think about that? I mean, they won't do it - Carlson's a marshmallow, Andy's too nice of a gentleman.
  • Bailey Quarters: [emphatically] *I* would fire you.
  • Herb Tarlek: [pointing over at his desk] No you wouldn't. I mean, you couldn't come in here every day and stare at this empty desk. Am I right?
  • Bailey Quarters: Well, I, I...
  • Les Nessman: [loudly from the other side of the bullpen] Fire him, Bailey!
  • Herb Tarlek: Stay out of this, Les.
  • Les Nessman: [to Bailey] Do it!
  • Bailey Quarters: Oh Les, I...
  • Herb Tarlek: Oh hey, hey. Nobody gets fired around here. They get assaulted now and then. Nobody gets fired.
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: [feet on desk] All right, all right, all right,
  • [gets up]
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: here's how it works. We go into the supermarket, and then you...
  • [to Bailey:]
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: you create a ruckus in the produce section,
  • [to Venus:]
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: you grab the sign, you fold it up and you put it under your jacket,
  • [snaps his fingers]
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: and we're out the door!
  • Bailey Quarters: What kind of ruckus?
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: I don't know what...
  • [suddenly inspired:]
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: Something with mangoes.
  • Bailey Quarters: [puzzled] Mangoes?
  • Andy Travis: [enters] Guys, don't worry about the signs, they'll be out of the stores by tomorrow.
  • Venus Flytrap: Thank goodness.
  • Bailey Quarters: Aw, too bad. I was just getting a mental picture of me and those mangoes.
  • Dr. Johnny Fever: Yeah?
