Venus Flytrap : You know what bugs me about Herb?
Dr. Johnny Fever : [sarcastically] Ha ha, ha ha. Is this a test?

[Mr. Carlson, Herb and Jennifer are in the reception area when Andy enters]
Andy Travis : [to Mr. Carlson] Did you want to see me?
Arthur Carlson : Yes, as a matter of fact I did. I want you to impress upon Herb how important it is that he sign new clients.
Andy Travis : [turns to Herb in confusion, then turns back to Mr. Carlson] OK, why don't you tell him yourself?
Arthur Carlson : Well, I can do that now because Herb's here, but he wasn't here when I sent for you. I was going to tell you to tell him, then I left, and of course when I got back Herb was here, but I couldn't tell him because you said you sent for me, and then I answered you, so there you go.
Andy Travis : So now what?
Arthur Carlson : Well, I don't know.
[Venus enters the room]
Venus Flytrap : What's going on?
Andy Travis : Ah, Mr. Carlson was just explaining nuclear physics to us.

Venus Flytrap : I tell you, though, you kind of threw me there.
Rick Jesperson : I'm sorry.
Venus Flytrap : I didn't know you'd be white.
Rick Jesperson : I thought this was a black station.
Venus Flytrap : It's a white station.
Rick Jesperson : I'm white. My magazine's black.
Venus Flytrap : I'm black.
Rick Jesperson : We're an equal opportunity employer.
Venus Flytrap : Same here.
Rick Jesperson : We're pretty militant about it too.
Venus Flytrap : Me too.
Rick Jesperson : Well good. Let's talk.
Venus Flytrap : 'bout what?
Rick Jesperson : How about race?
Venus Flytrap : I don't think that much about it.
Rick Jesperson : Me neither.
Venus Flytrap : Have a seat.
Rick Jesperson : Thank you.

Herb Tarlek : In a larger sense, aren't we all trying to pretend that we're something that we're not? In fact, isn't that what it is what makes us human?
Venus Flytrap : Where did you get that speech?
Herb Tarlek : Read it on a T-shirt.
