- [Still seeking Buddy's opinion on a pair of new shoes]
- Sally Rogers: Buddy, you REALLY like these?
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: I really like 'em.
- Sally Rogers: Yeah, but do you love 'em?
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: I love 'em.
- Sally Rogers: Better than the alligators?
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: Better than the alligators.
- Sally Rogers: Ya sure?
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: I'm positive!
- Sally Rogers: Good! I'll take the alligators.
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: Well, what d'ask ME for?
- Sally Rogers: 'Cause I value you opinion.
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: You do?
- Sally Rogers: Sure! Your taste is rotten!
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: Ritchie said a bad word.
- Sally Rogers: Well, THAT we gathered.
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: Well, what was it? What'd he say?
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: Can't repeat it in mixed company.
- Sally Rogers: Oh, I understand, Rob. Buddy, would you mind leaving the room?
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: You know, nothing works like a little love and a little psychology.
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: And a little rap in the mouth is pretty effective, too.
- Sally Rogers: Hey Rob, if that's for me, tell him I'll be ready at seven.
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: Oh, you got a date tonight?
- Sally Rogers: No, but I'm always ready at seven. I don't care who he is.
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: [about the dirty word Ritchie said] I wish I knew where Ritch was picking that stuff up, and from whom.
- Melvin 'Mel' Cooley: [pointing to Buddy] When was the last time he was at your house?
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: Look, beach-head, I don't use bad language in front of children, but in your case, I'll make an exception.
- Melvin 'Mel' Cooley: Children can be a problem, can't they, Rob? At home *and* at the office.
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: They sure can.
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: Morning, honey.
- [smooch]
- Laura Petrie: Shh.
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: What'd I do? Kiss you too loud?
- [Sally asks Buddy his opinion on a pair of new shoes]
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: All right, come on. Sit down.
- Sally Rogers: Sit down?
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: Yeah, sit down. Cross your legs. I LIKE 'em!
- Sally Rogers: You wouldn't kid me, would you?
- Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell: Why should I kid ya? I always liked your legs.
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: I'm gonna go home tonight and have a man-to-man talk with my son.
- Sally Rogers: Man-to-man? Hey, is Ritchie ready for that?
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: I think he's ready for it.
- Sally Rogers: Are you?
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: No.
- Laura Petrie: How 'bout some dinner?
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: Whadda you having?
- Laura Petrie: Spaghetti and meatballs.
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: I don't want any.
- Laura Petrie: Well, honey, that's your favorite.
- Robert 'Rob' Petrie: I know. If I eat it I'll get happy and I want to stay mad!
