Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  [Johnny is filling in for Jennifer in handling the on-air call-in advice show when he is speaking to a caller named Patricia] 

  Dr. Johnny Fever : No, no, no, Patricia, you're wrong.

  Patricia : Well, I just don't know what I'm going to...

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [cutting Patricia off]  Right, right, right, wait a second. Would you just listen to me, please.

  Patricia : Uh, all right.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Okay, because you don't want to look like a fool, right? Right?

  Patricia : No.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Okay. So now listen very carefully because I'm not always going to be here to help you. Okay? So you always want to start on these things from the outside. That'll lead you naturally, organically, into those inner areas, and that's where all the real action is. Okay? Now, what's furthest out is the salad fork, and the soup spoon. Then, the tea spoon, okay?

  Patricia : [with a panic in her voice]  What side?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : On the right. Big fork is on the inside left, and the dessert spoon is above.

  Patricia : [with a continued panic in her voice]  Above what?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Pat, Pat, Pat, Patricia. I tell you what. Put the napkin over your head and eat with your hands. Okay we've got a lot of calls...

• Jennifer Marlowe : [Johnny is about to head home for the day]  Aren't you gonna stick around to listen to Ask Arlene?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : I don't know, Jennifer. I'm against any show that puts a DJ out of work. I mean, this woman is taking Dean the Dream's slot.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Dean was leaving anyway.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : And to what? That's precisely my point. What is Dean leaving to?

  Jennifer Marlowe : He's going to law school.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Oh. You never know when I might need a lawyer.
