• [Mary and Lou are hustling around the newsroom, upset that Murray has been out to lunch all afternoon] 

  Mary Richards : Oh, well, I just don't believe it - 4:30 and Murray is still not back from lunch?

  Lou Grant : Doesn't he know that we have a show to get on the air?

  Ted Baxter : You know, it's fascinating. Here in Minneapolis/St. Paul, it's 4:30 and we're hard at work. In New York, it's the cocktail hour, and the lights are beginning to twinkle on the Great White Way. And, in London, smartly dressed theater-goers are strolling down the Strand for a late supper at the Savoy. And in Tokyo, it's tomorrow. Actually tomorrow! Do you realize there are people alive here in Minneapolis who are already dead in Tokyo?

• Ted Baxter : You don't want to play the piano, Murr - you want to play the Houston Oilers!
