Quotes 

• Andy Travis : Now, you have this thing you call "Eyewitness Weather". What is that?

  Les Nessman : Well, I just look out the window and witness the weather.

  Andy Travis : Uh-huh. And what about this station's traffic helicopter?

  Les Nessman : We don't have one.

  Andy Travis : So why do we have helicopter reports?

  Les Nessman : Well that's just me. See, I just get on the air and do this...

  Les Nessman : [standing at attention, beating his chest to make propeller sounds]  "The traffic today is light to heavy..."

• Herb Tarlek : Andy, gosh darnit, I like it. I've seen them come and go, but you're the best.

  Les Nessman : I'm with you a hundred percent, Andy.

  Arthur Carlson : [rushing into the room]  Herb! Les! Follow me! Travis, you're fired!

  Herb Tarlek : [as Herb and Les rush out of the room following Mr. Carlson]  Good move, Big Guy.

  Les Nessman : [turning around to face Andy before leaving the room]  I knew you wouldn't last!
