• [Andy and Venus, both extremely drunk, have just showed up at Mother Carlson's house with Mr. Carlson] 

  Andy Travis : [being held up by Venus and slurring his speech]  Mrs. Carlson, I'm tired of your crud!

  Venus Flytrap : Yeah!

  [Venus passes out onto the floor as Andy helplessly watches him crumble] 

  Andy Travis : [to Mother Carlson]  I got four things that I want to say to you.

  Arthur Carlson : [cautioningly]  Tr, Tr, Tr, Travis, uh...

  Andy Travis : Number two...

  [Andy also passes out onto the floor, face first] 

  Arthur Carlson : You know, Mommy, I don't think we've all had a chance to get together like this before.

• Bailey Quarters : [to worried personnel]  All I know is he wanted to see you.

  Venus Flytrap : What's going on, Andy?

  Andy Travis : Bailey, where's Mr. Carlson?

  Bailey Quarters : Uh, he's busy in his office.

  Andy Travis : Napping?

  Bailey Quarters : [looks down]  I'll sit over here.

  Andy Travis : Fine! All right!

  [sits down behind his desk] 

  Andy Travis : The reason I called this little meeting...

  [Les places his microphone in front of Andy] 

  Andy Travis : The reason I called this little meeting is because of the ratings.

  [Les hurriedly clears away the cassette recorder] 

  Andy Travis : That's right, a new book!

  Bailey Quarters : Oh, we weren't supposed to get that till next week.

  Andy Travis : No... But we got it this morning.

  [grabs this fearsome 'report card' and opens it] 

  Andy Travis : There's a lot of changes.

  [looks up annoyed at Herb who is leaning in over his shoulder] 

  Herb Tarlek : Finito, huh, Travis? Yeah, I've, uh, sensed it on the street for weeks.
