Quotes

Mr. Carlson: (shoving Herb and Les out of his office) Did I say 'Send in the clowns'? Huh? (edit)
Jennifer: (to Bailey) If you can't handle Herb, Les and the Big Guy, who in this world can you handle? (edit)
Dr. Monroe: My, uh, studies establish without a shadow of a doubt, that children are, by adult standards, insane. And more than a little immature!
Johnny: And that's bad?
Dr. Monroe: Well, sure.
Johnny: Well, so what should we do about it?
Dr. Monroe: Round the little guttersnipes up.
Johnny: So, tell me, Doctor. Wh-where did you receive your degree?
Dr. Monroe: In Long Beach, California, Doctor.
Johnny: Long Beach State College.
Dr. Monroe: Oh, ho-ho. No, no, no, no. From a man at the Casa de Soma Apartments. (edit)
Johnny: I don't do interviews. That's in my contract.
Andy: You don't have a contract.
Johnny: Well, if I had one, it'd be in there. Shouldn't I have a contract? (edit)
Bailey: Jennifer, if you don't mind, I think I'm gonna cry.
Jennifer: Bailey, women who want to be broadcast producers do not cry in public.
Bailey: Then I'll cry in my car on the way home.
Jennifer: That's the way men do it. (edit)
