Dick Van Dyke: Rob Petrie

Quotes 

• Rob Petrie : [recalling his former maid Maria]  We wanted a lady one day a week, and she moved in like she was gonna live there the rest of her life.

  Buddy Sorrell : That's exactly how I got my wife, Pickles.

• Rob Petrie : Honey, right now I haven't got the guts to go in there and tell that coward that he can't clean my house.

• Laura Petrie : He heard my roast beef is hard...

  Rob Petrie : It's all over town.

• Rob Petrie : I mean, for a guy who's supposed to be a bullfighter, he doesn't ACT like a guy who's supposed to be a bullfighter.

  Laura Petrie : Well, how should a bullfighter act?

  Rob Petrie : Well, not like him, honey. They... they're haughty, proud, mysterious - and they're brave. He saw a spider in the garage; I had to kill it - and I HATE 'em.

  Laura Petrie : So? So, he's not a spider fighter.

• Rob Petrie : You remember Maria, our Spanish maid.

  Sally Rogers : Oh yeah.
