Quotes 

• [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.

• [Mr. Carlson has just walked into the reception area where Andy is talking to a man Mr. Carlson doesn't know] 

  Charles Von Sanker : [to Andy just before he leaves]  In my entire life, I've never met a woman as honest and kind and straightforward as Mrs. Lillian Carlson. Later.

  Arthur Carlson : [after Von Sanker has left]  Oh, that poor boy.

• [In Mother Carlson changing the format to all news, Andy has decided to leave WKRP] 

  Arthur Carlson : [about his mother's decision]  She just wants us to be up there at the top. Mother said to me once she said to me a dozen times, "Arthur, I want you to be the General Manager of the number one radio station in this city".

  Andy Travis : So, you're leaving too, huh?
