Quotes 

• [Andy enters his office to find Johnny asleep on the couch] 

  Andy Travis : [in hushed tones as he hovers above Johnny]  Good morning, sweetheart. Do you still respect me?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [still asleep]  You know I do. There's never been anyone else, you know that.

  Andy Travis : But you've been married twice already.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [still asleep]  Accidents, both of 'em.

• Arthur Carlson : [seeing the bag of cocaine in the control booth]  What's that?

  Doug Winner : [Johnny turns to Doug, seeing if he'll tell the truth]  *You* tell him. You're dying to.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : It's, uh, foot powder, Mr. Carlson.

  Arthur Carlson : [taking the bag]  No kidding. Let me see it. Foot powder, huh? Well, there's not much here.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : It's, uh, *really* potent. A little goes a long way. You can't get this stuff in the stores.

  Arthur Carlson : [removing his shoe]  Is that right? Hey, I got this problem. I've been buying these Odor-Eaters, they're supposed to last about three months. These suckers turn on me 'bout fifteen days. Can I borrow some of this?

  Doug Winner : To put on your feet?

  Arthur Carlson : If you don't mind.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [encouragingly]  Sure, go ahead. Use whatever you need. It's okay with you, Dougy?

  Doug Winner : [hesitantly]  Wh... Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure.

  Arthur Carlson : [getting up to leave with the bag of coke]  Thanks, I appreciate that. Do you really think this stuff'll work?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Oh, sure. Actually, this is where the concept of "happy feet" first originated.

  Doug Winner : [angrily after Mr. Carlson has left the booth]  That was six hundred dollars worth of coke!

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [in mock sympathy]  Tough luck!

  Doug Winner : [nervously]  Weh... what do you think he'll do with it?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [smiling]  Carlson's no fool man! He's gonna put it on his feet!

• Andy Travis : Come on, tell us what happened.

  Bailey Quarters : What happened to your L.A. job?

  Herb Tarlek : Did you say 'booger' on the air again?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : No, you can say that on the air out there now. But you can't say '_______'.

  [word was deleted for broadcast, but if you read his lips Johnny says 'jive-ass']
