Rose Marie: Sally Rogers

Quotes 

• [Mel has told Rob and Sally, after Buddy had been transferred to a different TV studio, that they can use another third writer for their team besides Buddy] 

  Rob Petrie : Doggone, if only Buddy hadn't been so nasty.

  Sally Rogers : Oh, he couldn't have been nastier if he made a living at it.

  Rob Petrie : [thinking]  Make a living at it?

  [He brightens up] 

  Rob Petrie : Sally, that's it! Let's hire somebody nastier than Buddy.

  Sally Rogers : I thought Jack the Ripper was dead.

  Rob Petrie : Who can be nastier to Mel than Buddy?

  Sally Rogers : Mel's wife?

• Sally Rogers : [to Rob]  Suppose Mel recognizes him? He might have seen him in a nightclub.

  Jackie Brewster : Heh! Don't worry about that, Sal. You know what happens when they introduce me in a nightclub? The guy comes out and says, "Here's Jackie Brewster," and the whole audience says, "Who's he?" I mean, more people know me as Who's He than Jackie Brewster.

• Sally Rogers : I don't think Mel's been ANYplace.

  Jackie Brewster : Well, how'd he get to be a big TV producer?

  Sally Rogers : Easy. He married the star's sister.

• Rob Petrie : Why do you want to insult Mel like that, anyway?

  Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : Well, I don't like him. For one thing, he's too tall.

  Sally Rogers : Rob's just as tall.

  Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : Yeah, but he's not nasty about it. When Rob stands next to me, he slumps a little.

• Sally Rogers : [to Buddy]  Well, it's just like my mother always says: The sun isn't always shining just because there are sparrows.

  Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : What's that supposed to mean?

  Sally Rogers : I don't know, but ain't it pretty?
