Quotes 

• Luke Duke : Well, how long you home for, Thelma Claire?

  Thelma Claire 'T.C.' Rogers : Well, uh, that kind of depends on if I win or lose.

  Bo Duke : [Bo and Luke glance at each other]  If you win or lose what?

  Thelma Claire 'T.C.' Rogers : The election. I've decided to run against Boss Hogg for Supervisory Administrator of Hazzard County.

  Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : [overheard]  Judas Priest on a pony! Administrator! Oh! Oh!

  [scampers off to go squeal] 

  Luke Duke : Well, you got your work cut out for you if you're running against him. He wrote the dirty campaign cookbook.

  Thelma Claire 'T.C.' Rogers : You think I don't know it? He beat my daddy out of the same job fifteen years ago by stealing the pencils out of the voting booths. But not this time!

  Bo Duke : You know... I kinda like your, uh... your spunk.

  [chuckles] 

  Bo Duke : Well, I'll tell you what, if you need a campaign manager, you've got one right here!

  Luke Duke : [not to be outdone]  Seeing as how you're running against Boss Hogg, you'd probably need a couple of campaign managers. Why don't we just... discuss strategy over a tall, cool...

  [tries leading Thelma Claire off] 

  Luke Duke : Excuse us, Bo.

  Bo Duke : Excuse you, Luke!

  Thelma Claire 'T.C.' Rogers : No, I don't have time for that. You see, I've got to get settled in and get over to the courthouse and file as a candidate before six o'clock.

  Bo Duke : Well then, what are we waiting for? Give me one of these!

  [grabs suitcase] 

  Luke Duke : I'll get it!

  [grabs other suitcase] 

• Enos : Sheriff, you want me to keep looking for 'em or you wanna go eat?

  Sheriff Rosco Coltrane : No, Enos, just forget it. Do you hear? Just forget it!

  Enos : Yes, sir. This here is Enos. Forgettin' it. Over and out.
