CMr. Carlson

How many times have you said to yourself, "if I knew then what I know now"? Well, by golly, this is the new then. Now, I mean. Because I know now what I didn't used to know then. As a manner of speaking, you could say that I know now what I know now.

I have only been in this town for two weeks. I'm living in an apartment that doesn't have any furniture. I've been fighting with your mother. I've been fighting with-with-with Les, I've been fighting with Herb. I don't even know where my laundry is, sir.

CMr. Carlson

Oh, settle down.

Frankly, sir, I'm...I'm just as tired of all this as you are.

CMr. Carlson

Yeah. Heh. Well, I guess so. Listen, for whatever it's worth, I don't know where my laundry is either.

Mr. Carlson, I have to go to lunch now.

CMr. Carlson

You think that's wise?

I don't know. It was Mr. Carlson's idea.

View quote →

I...I just wanted to say.. um thanks Johnny! When I first came to WKRP, I didn't know a think about radio stations, and I guess I was just a little shy back then. [sighs] But... you took the time to show me the ropes, and you gave me the kind of confidence I needed. You're a real friend, Johnny, and I wish you wouldn't go. When I think of WKRP, I...I think of you, and I guess I always will.

CMr. Carlson

Is it working?...Is he going to stay?

S1 E13 Goodbye, Johnny (1)
