Quotes[]
- Joe Hackett - "Fay, this phone number you wrote down for me, I can't tell if that's a five or an eight."
Fay Cochran - "You know, I've always had this problem. People are always telling me that my fives look like eights. They say, "Fay, your fives look like eights". And they do."
Joe Hackett - "Well, is this a five or an eight?"
Fay Cochran - "Um...seven."
Joe Hackett - "Thank you."
- Roy Biggins - "When R.J. said he wanted to take cello lessons I thought I was gonna puke. But then he gave me a reason so sweet that it touched this father's heart."
Joe Hackett - "And that reason was?"
Roy Biggins - ""Dad, I'm horny for Helen". Get this, Helen is going to try and teach my kid the cello while he's hugging her leg like a lovesick poodle."
- Lowell Mather - "So you say you're gay, huh? Gay, really? Nah."
R.J. Biggins - "Yes."
Lowell Mather - "No."
R.J. Biggins - "What can I do to prove it to you?"
Lowell Mather - "Nothing! Absolutely nothing!"
- Brian Hackett - "I'm begging you. You have got to let me tell Roy about his kid."
Helen Chapel - "Absolutely not."
Brian Hackett - "Oh, but you don't understand. I've got all this information building up inside of me. I'm going to hurt something internally."
Helen Chapel - "Well, if you tell me, I'll hurt something externally."
- Helen Chapel - "Look, I know we told you that it would be bad for you to tell your father, but do you know what would be worse? Him finding out from someone else, and that distinct possibility because you have been a busy little fella, haven't ya?"
R.J. Biggins - "I'm gay and I'm proud!"
- Roy Biggins - "You told them?! Oh, for the love of Mike! R.J. that's just an expression."
