Quotes 

• Bailey Quarters : [entering uncertainly]  Excuse me, Andy, am I interrupting anything important?

  Andy Travis : Uh, believe me, it's nothing important.

  Bailey Quarters : Well, Andy, I, uh, uh... I sort of had an idea. It's, uh, pretty bad, I bet.

  Bailey Quarters : [scoffing]  Probably something we shouldn't do.

  [Bailey gives a self-conscious giggle] 

  Andy Travis : Bailey...

  Bailey Quarters : [very self-conscious]  But I read about it somewhere.

  Andy Travis : Bailey!

  Bailey Quarters : Yes?

  Andy Travis : What's the idea?

  Bailey Quarters : Well, there's a station in Atlanta that sponsors a raft race. Maybe we should do something like that.

  Andy Travis : [placing an encouraging arm around Bailey's shoulders]  Well, that's... that's a pretty good idea, except I'm afraid the Ohio river runs a little fast. People could get killed.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [unmoved by such prospects]  Nobody said it was gonna be easy. Next problem?

  Andy Travis : Johnny, please...

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [shaking his head]  Okay, I got a perfect idea. Way I see it, we start with, uh, Bailey, and Jennifer, uh, a sizable crowd, uh, a certain amount of nudity...

  Venus Flytrap : Here, here!

  Andy Travis : [urgently whispering]  Johnny, sit down.

  [Johnny obeys and sits down] 

  Les Nessman : [entering the room]  Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt, but I have a question about my news program.

  Andy Travis : Oh sure, Les.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [to Venus]  You know, we could blow the station up. That would grab the headlines.

  Venus Flytrap : Or we could just burn it down.

  Bailey Quarters : [to Andy]  I like the nudity idea better.

  Les Nessman : [just before leaving the room]  Perhaps I could come back later.

• Venus Flytrap : [dressed all in white]  What's up, white folk?

  [adopts super-cool stance]
