Bronson Pinchot: Balki Bartokomous
Quotes
-
Balki Bartokomous : We can't bump the bibi-babka ditty, it's part and parcel of the point-by-point process of baking bibi-babkas!
Larry Appleton : I understand it's part and parcel of the point-by-point process of baking bibi-babkas, Balki, buddy, but... we gotta cut some corners. We're talking mass production here.
Balki Bartokomous : Don't bring religion into this! You can't bake bibi-babkas without belting the bibi-babka ditty! If you drop the damn ditty, you're doomed!

[Balki had baked "Bibby Bobkas" -- a Myposian pastry and Larry, Jennifer and Mary Anne have just tasted them for the first time.]
Larry Appleton : Balki... this cream filling is INCREDIBLE! I mean, these not only taste good, they... they make me FEEL good! Like listening to music! Like looking at great art! I feel... I feel... Taller! Balki, your Bibby Bobkas are so good, I think you should sell them.
Balki Bartokomous : [through laughter] Get out of this city! I wouldn't feel right taking your money.
[Larry shakes his head]
Larry Appleton : No, Balki, I don't mean sell them to US. I mean sell them to other PEOPLE. It can be a nice little business venture. You'd make a couple extra bucks and get a lesson in Free Enterprise.
Balki Bartokomous : ENTERPRISE?! You mean I could meet Captain Kirk and Scotty?
Balki Bartokomous : [Imitating James Doohan] I'll have full power in an hour, Captain. But I'll need more dylythium crystals.
Larry Appleton : No, no, no... No, Balki. That's the STARSHIP Enterprise. FREE Enterprise is the American way of doing business. I'll... I'll tell you what. You whip up a batch of Bibby Bobkas, and tomorrow, I'll take 'em to restaurants and see if anybody's interested.
Balki Bartokomous : Now, Cousin, Cousin, you don't just "whip up" Bibby Bobkas. I mean, this took me all morning; And I'm the best Bibby Bobka baker on Mypos. Believe me. Baking Bibby Bobkas is a back-breaking business.
Larry Appleton : I understand, Balki, baking Bibby Bobkas is a back-breaking business. But... you're doing it alone. There are four of US. We'll... we'll all do it together. It'll be like a party.
Jennifer Lyons Appleton : [smiling with impression] That's a WONDERFUL idea, Larry!
Mary Anne Spencer Bartokomous : [likewise] Yeah. What do you say, Balki?
Balki Bartokomous : Well, I... I guess we could bake up a batch of Bibby Bobkas and see if anybody buys.
Larry Appleton : [grinning as he nods] Beautiful.

[Larry does a rhumba with Balki]
Balki Bartokomous : COUSIN! You are a man repossessed!
Larry Appleton : And loving it!

Larry Appleton : Balki, rhumba tempo! We've got to get these bibi-babkas baked!
Balki Bartokomous : Cousin, it's too fast! And besides, shouldn't I be leading?
