Quotes[]
- Antonio Scarpacci - "Helen, what are you working on?"
Helen Chapel - "I'm working on a new menu. When I was in New York, Davis took me to this restaurant where everything was named after celebrities. So I thought it might be fun to try it with the people around here. I've got "Helen's Hashbrowns", "Sloppy Joe Hackett", hehe, get it?"
Antonio Scarpacci - - "Aw. Did you, uh, did you happen to name anything after me?"
Helen Chapel - "I sure did. "Antonio's Spaghetti and Meatballs"."
Antonio Scarpacci - "How long did it take you to come up with that one? You, you just look at the Italian guy and immediately think "Meatball"?"
Helen Chapel - "No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. Um, let's just forget about that, okay? Here. What can I get you for lunch?"
Antonio Scarpacci - "Mamma mia, I don't-a know. How about a nice-a pizza pie?"
- Fay Cochran - "Are you going to name anything after me?"
Helen Chapel - "I already did: "Fay's Bran Muffin"."
Fay Cochran - "I'm a bran muffin?"
Helen Chapel - "Well, you know you order one every morning."
Fay Cochran - "Does the whole world have to know about that?"
- Lowell Mather - "Helen, what am I? What am I?"
Helen Chapel - "Actually, Lowell, I--"
Lowell Mather - "I'll make the menu, right? I mean, you're not going to leave me out, are you?"
Helen Chapel - "Oh, no, of course not. as a matter of fact, you can be any food you want."
Lowell Mather - "Wo, okay. That's a big responsibility. I'm going to take a little time with this. you know. I mean, I have to be something that's low in cholesterol and no fat and I have to be easy to digest. I don't want anybody waking up in the middle of the night saying, "Boy, that Lowell Mather gave me gas"."
- Brian Hackett - "Of course, if you want to go out with other guys, you can."
Alex Lambert - "I didn't say that. What? Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Brian Hackett - "Nah! I just wanted to give you your space."
Alex Lambert - "I didn't ask you for space. Wait a minute. Is this your way of telling me you want more space?"
Brian Hackett - "No, I didn't say that. I don't want to go out with other women."
Alex Lambert - "Well, I don't want to go out with other guys. I'm perfectly happy with you."
Brian Hackett - "Well, I'm perfectly happy with you. I've never been happier before in my whole life!"
Alex Lambert - "Well, I've never been happier either!"
Brian Hackett - "Well, fine! Why don't we just see each other then?!"
Alex Lambert - "Okay!"
Brian Hackett - "All right! Wait a second. Hold it. Something important just happened here. What was it?"
Alex Lambert - "I think we just agreed to have an exclusive relationship."
Brian Hackett - "But haven't we been doing that already?"
Alex Lambert - "Yeah, but we made it official."
Brian Hackett - "Official? We're not engaged, are we?"
Alex Lambert - "No, but that look of terror on your face is very flattering."
- Lowell Mather - "Hey, guys, sorry to interrupt, but, listen, recently I've been given the opportunity to become a food, so I just wanted to run these ideas past you. "Lowell Melt", "Lowell Kebab", or "Lowell Slaw"."
- Brian Hackett - "Alex and I just took a very big step in our relationship."
Joe Hackett - "You got engaged?!"
Brian Hackett - "No! No, no, no, no. I mean, nothing like that. We decided that we're going to only date each other.
Joe Hackett - "Oh...Isn't that what you've been doing?"
- Roy Biggins - "Helen, I hear you're naming items on your menu after people who work around here."
Helen Chapel - "Right."
Roy Biggins - "What am I?"
Helen Chapel - "Oh, you're the jumbo turkey leg."
Roy Biggins - "Is that some kind of crack?"
Helen Chapel - "No, it's because you order it practically everyday."
Roy Biggins - "I don't want to be that."
Helen Chapel - "Alright, Roy, fine. What do you want to be?"
Roy Biggins - "A salad."
Helen Chapel - "Have you ever seen a salad? Fine. You are a salad. Okay, what do you want for lunch?"
Roy Biggins - "The "Roy Salad". Uh, and the jumbo turkey leg."
- Vi - "Marjean, Marjean! You look like you're posing. Come on, now. I want you to look natural, you know, like you normally do when you're hugging a propeller."

Fay Cochran - "Or in your case, until you run out of quarters."
- Antonio Scarpacci - "Well, uh, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. In Italy, men aren't even expected to be monogamous."
Roy Biggins - "Of course not. They keep going from dame to dame trying to find one who shaves her pits."
Antonio Scarpacci - "I resent that comment, Roy. I don't deny it, I just resent it."
- Joe Hackett - "Helen, can I get some ice water? Oh, man. It's amazing how hard those girls work under those hot lights."
Brian Hackett - "What do you mean? The girls are like all...all sweaty?"
Helen Chapel - "You're not interested in them, Brian."
Brian Hackett - "I'm not interested in them."
Helen Chapel - "You're in a committed relationship with Alex."
Brian Hackett - "I'm in a committed relationship with Alex."
Helen Chapel - "You couldn't be happier."
Brian Hackett - "I couldn't be happier."
Joe Hackett - "That was really good, Helen. I couldn't even see your lips move."
