Quotes[]
- Helen Chapel - "Boys, meet Alex Lambert, owner of Nantucket Helicopter Tours. Alex, meet the Hackett brothers. That's Brian and that's Joe. I would go into more depth but...there is none."
- Roy Biggins - "Boys, boys, save your energy. I know women. That lady doesn't even know you two are alive. There's a certain look they get when they're not interested."
Helen Chapel - "Now could you get a more expert opinion?"
- Fay Cochran - "Did you ever see a musical called Annie Get Your Gun?"
Antonio Scarpacci - "No."
Fay Cochran - "Well, it's about this cowgirl; she's in love with a man, but it isn't working out because she is a better shot than he is. So, so, to win him over, she arranges to let him beat her in a shooting contest. Well, it's blatantly sexist, but I always seemed to tap my toe in spite of myself. You see what I'm suggesting?"
Antonio Scarpacci - "You're saying to win back Lowell's friendship I should take him to a musical."
Fay Cochran - "Sit down. Now, we'll go over it one more time."
- Helen Chapel - "I would like to inform the two of you that you've been acting like asses. When are you going to learn that when you fall for the same woman it's always trouble. Remember Teresa Flayhive in seventh grade? Huh? What about Peggy Springer in high school? Oh, and let's not forget the infamous Carol, or have you forgotten your ex-fiancée and your ex-wife?"
Brian Hackett - "That was very different 'cause Carol couldn't fly a helicopter."
