Quotes 

• Jennifer Marlowe : Andy, I'm not gonna do it.

  Andy Travis : Why not?

  Jennifer Marlowe : Because it goes against my basic philosophy of do your job, but don't do too much of it.

  Andy Travis : Look, it will be much more exciting than being stuck in the lobby all day.

  Jennifer Marlowe : I like it out there. We hardly get any calls. Mr. Carlson won't accept visitors. It's quiet, I can read, study a foreign language, occasionally answer a question or two.

  Andy Travis : See, that's it! Everybody always comes to you for advice. So I say, uh, share your wisdom with the rest of the world.

• Arthur Carlson : [about finding a host for a new call-in advice show]  Who have you got in mind?

  Andy Travis : I don't know yet, but I'm going to find someone.

  Herb Tarlek : Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, excusez-moi Travinski. Look, that was my idea, I should find him.

  Andy Travis : [scoffing]  Oh no, Herb. Don't you want this idea to work?

  Herb Tarlek : What is that supposed to mean?

  Andy Travis : Well, uh...

  Arthur Carlson : I think what Andy is trying to say, Herb, is if you get your incompetent hands on this project, it would totally destroy what would otherwise be a darned good idea.

• [the staff members in the bullpen are talking about Jennifer hosting the call-in advice show] 

  Andy Travis : [pointing to Jennifer behind her back]  Oh, Venus, did you listen to *the* show?

  Venus Flytrap : [to Jennifer]  I recognize that sexy voice anywhere. You were great, Jennifer. You know, I listened to you for just ten minutes, and already I've decided to go back to school, lose fifty pounds and get a sex change operation.

  [Venus blows a seductively fun kiss in Mr. Carlson's direction, Mr. Carlson who grimaces uncomfortably in return] 

• Jennifer Marlowe : How long does it take Herb to find somebody?

  Andy Travis : He's giving it everything he's got.

  Jennifer Marlowe : That's what I was afraid of.

• Jennifer Marlowe : Gentlemen... Arlene has just resigned. Johnny's filling in.

  Andy Travis : Now wait a minute, Jennifer, you promised me...

  Jennifer Marlowe : With Bailey's help, I just got a caller in touch with a center for battered women.

  Arthur Carlson : Well, uh, that... that's good.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Except that she probably wouldn't have gotten battered had it not been for my cute, flip, off-the-cuff advice.

  Andy Travis : Well now, wait. Jennifer, you can't take responsibility for something like that.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Why not?

  Andy Travis : Well, because we talked you into this, and...

  Jennifer Marlowe : You don't understand, Andy. I kind of liked it. I enjoyed it. Do you think I would have done that day after day if I hadn't? Does that sound like me? So, now I am going to take my little feet right out there in the lobby, and keep my big mouth shut.

  Arthur Carlson : No, no, Jennifer, don't... don't do that.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Why not?

  Arthur Carlson : Because you can't just shut yourself off.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Why not?

  Arthur Carlson : Because I need you.

  Jennifer Marlowe : I don't want people to need me.

  Arthur Carlson : Oh, yes, you do. You want me to need you. And I'll tell you something else, young lady. If you hadn't been on that phone, that woman probably wouldn't have gotten the help that she needed from you and that Bailey. And do you really think that a radio show has anything at all to do with a man who batters women?
