Dr. Johnny Fever : [wants loan, why else would he talk to Les?] So, how's it going?
Les Nessman : Well, last night I was feeling completely alone in the cosmos.
Dr. Johnny Fever : [fake sympathy] Oh.
[pats Les' shoulder]
Les Nessman : An insignificant speck in the sandbox of time.
[which reminds Johnny to check his wristwatch]
Les Nessman : Which is unusual for me, Johnny, I'm usually a pretty up fellow.
Dr. Johnny Fever : [fake] I'll say.
Les Nessman : But sometimes this job gets to me.
Dr. Johnny Fever : Mm-hmm.
Les Nessman : But then I remembered what Mother Nessman said to do when frustrated. And so I beat my rugs. Every night this week, I've beaten my rugs. They're very clean.
Dr. Johnny Fever : [stifles giggle] Fascinating, Les.

Dr. Johnny Fever : [enters lobby where acting receptionist Bailey is eating sandwich] Bailey, I need a favor.
Bailey Quarters : Here.
[surrenders sandwich]
Dr. Johnny Fever : [declines sandwich] If somebody comes looking for me, especially somebody big, I'm not here, okay? You haven't seen me.
Bailey Quarters : Why don't you just go home?
Dr. Johnny Fever : Oh, sure. That's what they expect me to do.
[tapping his temple:]
Dr. Johnny Fever : Think!

Bailey Quarters : [as he bumps into her coming out of booth] Oh, John, I'm just coming to see you.
Dr. Johnny Fever : Bailey, are you rich?
Bailey Quarters : Uh, only in the things that count, and I'm pretty keyed up about it.
[chuckles, then consults list:]
Bailey Quarters : Okay, John, your turn to visit Herb is pushed up to tonight.
Dr. Johnny Fever : I need to get your reaction to an amount of money.
Bailey Quarters : Mm?
Dr. Johnny Fever : [as Les signals Bailey from broadcasting booth to watch out] Ah, five hundred sixty-two dollars, sixteen cents.
Bailey Quarters : Who do I have to kill to get it?
