- Quotes
[Johnny has just arrived at Mother Carlson's front door unexpected]
Hirsch: [to Johnny, not knowing who he is] No, madam does not believe in handouts! No!
Dr. Johnny Fever: No, no. Just tell her Johnny Fever dropped by for a little chat.
Hirsch: [cautiously] Johnny Fever! You're the DJ who's caused her so much discomfort over the years.
Hirsch: [pointing in the direction of the living room with great aplomb] Please make yourself comfortable!
Dr. Johnny Fever: You must be...
Hirsch: The houseboy. I'll interrupt madam's meditation on the verandah. It is *Dr.* Johnny Fever?
Dr. Johnny Fever: Yes.
Hirsch: [yelling outside to the verandah] Madam, your physician is here.
