Quotes

• Lisa: I just don't think that you should let Bill pressure you into doing anything you do not wanna do.

Beth: What is this, an episode of Blossom?

• Dave: Couldn't you guys just pretend to work when I walk by?

• Dave: Sir, it's about the budget.

Mr. James: The budget? Don't I pay someone else to think about that?

Dave: That would be me.

Mr. James: Well then why am I thinking about it? You know you're not giving me much bang for my buck here Dave.

• Bill: Show me a woman who isn't jealous of another woman and I'll show you a man.

• Dave: They're just going to lunch. Everybody goes to lunch. You and I go to lunch.

Lisa: Yeah, at my apartment. And we don't eat.

Dave: True enough, but at least we're staying trim!

• Dave: You wanna go for lunch?

Lisa: No, I'm not in the mood today.

Dave: Okay, you wanna get something to eat then?

Lisa: Sure.

• Beth: I'm trying to win the Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes, okay? I'd like to be the first psychotic nyphomaniac to get a big check from Ed McMahon.

• Dave: Alright, look Beth. I know you've had a rough day, I know this has been very hard on you, and I know you've heard this before but I'm gonna say it again because it's important, alright? You do not have to subscribe in order to be eligible for the Publishers Clearinghouse sweepstakes.

Beth: You are so naive Dave.

• Lisa: What exactly happened?

Bill: She frenched me Lisa. She was being a perfect young lady, then wham, she's all over me.

Lisa: Well I'm sorry, that must have been very awkward for you.

Bill: You know what it's like? It's like taking your daughter to the fair, and buying her cotton candy, and winning prizes for her. Then you get on the ferris wheel and she wants to make out.

Lisa: (getting uncomfortable) Ooookay...

Bill: Well how could she do that to me Lisa? How could she... French her daddy?

• Dave: We are way, way overbudget on fuel for the traffic helicopter.

Mr. James: Uh-huh, well it sounds like we've got a leaky copter Dave.

Dave: Well sir, I talked to the pilot, and he chalks it up to an increase in the number of round trips from the roof of this building to a private residence in Litchfield, Conneticut.

Mr. James: Litchfield... hey that's where I live!

• Dave: I do have a solution

Mr. James: So do I.

Dave: Okay, let's hear yours first.

Mr. James: Good idea, since that's the one we're going to be using.
