Sherman Hemsley: B.P. Richfield

Quotes 

• Earl Sinclair : Mr. Richfield, I think maybe you shouldn't talk to my kid like that.

  B.P. Richfield : Think? You don't think. You're a tree pusher and you work for me. Or have you forgotten who you're talking to?

  Earl Sinclair : Yes, sir, I have. And until I remember I just wanna say, I don't care if you have enough money to buy the dome or the whole lousy volcano. We're not...

  B.P. Richfield : Wait a second, what did you say?

  Earl Sinclair : I said I don't care if you have enough money to buy the dome...

  B.P. Richfield : No, no, the other part.

  Earl Sinclair : Buy the volcano?

  B.P. Richfield : Yes. Great idea.

• B.P. Richfield : Well, if it isn't the Sinclairs. What a delightful looking family you have, Earl.

  Earl Sinclair : Oh, well let me introduce them...

  B.P. Richfield : Not interested! SIT DOWN!

• B.P. Richfield : Mr. Ashland, you're asking me to destroy an innocent boy just to protect our corporate assets?

  [Ashland nods]

• B.P. Richfield : Waiter. Two pieces of bread.

  [Glares at Baby] 

  B.P. Richfield : I'm gonna make a sandwich.

• Robbie Sinclair : I don't want your money.

  Charlene Sinclair : I do.

  B.P. Richfield : Smart girl. You must be very proud of your daughter.

  Earl Sinclair : Oh yes, my daughter, very proud, all mine. My son, who knows? I was in babylon.

• [on the phone] 

  B.P. Richfield : Sinclair.

  Earl : Mr. Richfield, I'm sorry.

  B.P. Richfield : Stop apologizing. You didn't do anything.

  Earl : I'm sorry my apology offended you, sir.

  B.P. Richfield : Stop being so obsequious.

  Earl : That was never my intent, your majesty.

• Mr. Ashland : This is a disaster!

  B.P. Richfield : But nothing a chief executive of your enormous power and authority can't handle, right, Mr. Ashland?

  Mr. Ashland : Cut the butt-kissing, Richfield.

  B.P. Richfield : Yes, sir.

  Mr. Ashland : Do you know what I do with a butt-kisser?

  B.P. Richfield : No, sir.

  [Ashland gestures to an executive's mounted head on the wall; Richfield grows rigid] 

• B.P. Richfield : [Has invited the Sinclairs out to dinner]  My, my, so good to have you here. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, well enough small talk.

• B.P. Richfield : [Sampling wine]  That's fine for me, but give the rest of'em the cheap stuff.

• B.P. Richfield : What do you say I take you and your family out to dinner tonight.

  Earl Sinclair : You? Us? Eating?

  B.P. Richfield : Save the sparkling repartee for the dinner, Sinclair. And remember, the WHOLE family!

• B.P. Richfield : You're asking me to destroy an innocent boy just to protect our corporate assets?

  [Mr. Ashland, the CEO, nods]
