Dick[explaining Thanksgiving] It's a national holiday.
What, like Big Giant Head Day?
DickSimilar...except that no one gets thrown into the sun.
DickWelcome to Rusty's. How may I serve you?
How do you make your burgers?
DickExcellent question. First, a clamp comes down onto the cow's head, forcing it onto a conveyor belt, where a prod is inserted into the cow's rectum, electrocuting it.
Gimme two.
DickThank you, and remember: at Rusty's, E-coli is not on the menu.
Stop saying that!
DickYou were good: you had delivery, presence, timing, you just didn't have that indefinable something extra.
I was just trying to score some points with my girlfriend, is that too much to ask?
DickRomeo and Juliet is a Shakespearian tragedy, it has nothing to do with a horny teenager and his girlfriend!
DickWhat's going on?
Oh, she's having a big affair.
DickWhat? You tramp!
Dick, it's a catered affair.
DickYou're cheating on me and your diet?
DickYou'll only have to perform the most basic of tasks. You've sent out mail before.
Nope.
DickWell, you've stapled before...
I have not.
DickSurely you've used a paperclip.
Oh! You mean those cotton things you put in your ears?
DickHarry, how many fingers am I holding up?
Two!
DickYou're hired.
DickHarry, did I get any phone calls?
Oh, yes, it rang repeatedly.
DickAnd... who called?
Well, I don't know, Dick, I'm not clairvoyant.
Does this mean you've come to your senses and you're going to apologize to Nina?
DickNo, I will never come to my senses!
Sally, they want you to appear on Good Afternoon, Rutherford.
That's my second-favorite show!
DickWhat's your first-favorite?
Good Morning, Rutherford.
DickCan we take more than one?
Take as much as you want! Nobody's going to be at this thing.
Don't be so insensitive.
[to Dick] Yeah, shame on you!
[Dick and Sally are doped out on antidepressants]
I like TV.
DickMe too. Let's say we turn it on. [he turns it on]
It's even better on.
DickOh, Mary! I've just had one of those horrible dreams!
Well what happened?
DickWe were getting married!
[sarcastically] Thank you...
DickNo, that was the good part. Then, my family showed up.
Oh, don't tell me? They objected?
DickWell...they had issues.
It's alright. I prepared a short speech just in case they did. It's just basically two words... and one of them's "off."
Look at the bright side, Dick: with Janet out of the way, maybe you'll get another shot at Albright.
DickYou think?
Probably no. But hey, at least there's still the three of us.
Dick [slight pause]]: Wait, didn't there used to be four of us?
Oh, yeah! Officer Don called. "Tommy's in jail."
[Brief pause.]
JAIL? [They panic and run out of the apartment.]
DickYou idiots!
DickWomen.
Women.
Women.
[high-pitched voice] Women!
DickYou can't live with 'em and you can't have heterosexual sex without 'em.
That's probably true.
DickI want to make a good impression on Mary's parents.
Mary Albright‘s parents?
They're still alive?:
My God, they must be so old!
[Dick goes to a Halloween party as a pirate]
Ahoy, matey. Where are your buccaneers?
DickUnder my buckin' hat.
