- Arthur: I thought we had an agreement that you're not supposed to be here 30 minutes before the show?
- Kenny Mitchell: I wanted to talk to Larry.
- Arthur: That's exactly what I don't want you to do. What's it about?
- Kenny Mitchell: About the monologue. He did too many jokes last night.
- Arthur: What you're saying?
- Kenny Mitchell: Two of them didn't get anything. He should just do the jokes that work.
- Arthur: How the hell you know which jokes are gonna work? Are you a moron?
- Kenny Mitchell: Why don't you get off my ass?
- Arthur: Why don't you get off my stage like you promised?
- Kenny Mitchell: Hey, say it now Arthur, because pretty soon you won't be able to say it at all. Your show is on its last legs, and let me you tell something: I don't give a hot damn! This is just the stepping stone from primetime for me. A tired little piece of shit stepping stone.
- Arthur: No kiddin'.
- Kenny Mitchell: Yeah. Gee...
- [Arthur pushes Kenny to the floor]
- Kenny Mitchell: Stay away from me!
- Roger Bingham: [on the network's decision to end Larry's show] Listen Stevie, I love Larry; it's coming from upstairs.
- Stevie Grant: Upstairs? Upstairs? We're on the top floor. Someone in the fucking roof?
