Quotes
-
Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : [seeing Mel] Hey, look who's here: Friar Tuck!
-
Melvin (Mel) Cooley : [sarcastically appraising a lame sketch idea] It's a riot.
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell : How would you know, Curly?
Melvin (Mel) Cooley : [to Rob] Will you please tell this person that I was not hired for this job to be the butt of his jokes?
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell : Hey, whose jokes were you hired to be the butt of?

-
Rob Petrie : [to his coworkers about his PTA dilemma] Any ideas, you guys?
Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : Yeah...
[snaps fingers]
Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : I got it! I got an idea!
Sally Rogers : Beginner's luck.
Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : Don't make jokes. This is on the level, this'll solve the whole problem for you. You get the whole neighborhood together, put 'em on a chartered bus and drive 'em down to the studio.
Rob Petrie : How does that solve the problem?
Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell : Easy, you get a drunken bus driver and he crashes into a lamppost.
Sally Rogers : I got a better idea: get a sober driver, have him hijack the bus and fly it out of the country.
Rob Petrie : Thanks a lot, you guys, you've been a big help. I'm desperate and you're making jokes.
Sally Rogers : Oh, come on, Rob, it's only the PTA.
Rob Petrie : Only the PTA? You know what the PTA stands for? Three things that I respect - and fear: parents, teachers and associations!
