Quotes
-
Arthur Carlson Jr. : [Les pays Arthur Carlson Jr. to learn what Mother Carlson says about him after Herb learns she calls him addle-minded] She says that *you're* obtuse.
Les Nessman : [excitedly and happily] Ooo.
Herb Tarlek : [reading the dictionary trying to find addle-minded] Adultery... Admire...
Les Nessman : [taking the dictionary away from Herb] Let me see that. Obtuse...
Herb Tarlek : [snatching the dictionary back from Les] Addle-minded!
Les Nessman : [snatching back the dictionary] Obtuse!
Herb Tarlek : [Herb attempts to snatch the dictionary, but Les slams Herb's hand in the book] Addle-ow!
Bailey Quarters : [entering] Hi, guys.
Herb Tarlek : Oh, hi, Bailey. Met Carlson's son?
Bailey Quarters : Uh, yes. I've had the pleasure.
Herb Tarlek : Well, he's quite a kid. Let me tell ya.
Herb Tarlek : [under his breath to Arthur Carlson, Jr] Tell your dad I said that.
Les Nessman : [excitedly until he gets to the last word of the definition] Obtuse! According to Websters, "exceeding ninety degrees but less than one-hundred eighty degrees; lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility; rounded at the free end; dull". That's an insult!
Bailey Quarters : Les, take it easy.
Les Nessman : Take it easy?
Herb Tarlek : Just calm down, okay?
Les Nessman : Don't tell me to calm down. I just paid five dollars to find out I'm rounded at the free end!
Bailey Quarters : Cool off, Les.
Herb Tarlek : He's just mad because he's not addle-minded.
Les Nessman : I am too.
Herb Tarlek : No. You're not.
Les Nessman : [Herb and Les start hitting each other] Yes. I am.
Herb Tarlek : No. You're not.
Les Nessman : Yes. I am!
Herb Tarlek : You're not!
Bailey Quarters : You guys! You are both addle-minded!
Les Nessman : [sincerely] Thank you, Bailey.

Arthur Carlson Jr. : [adamantly to Venus] You're black!
Venus Flytrap : [feigning shock and fear] I am? Ah, ah...
Arthur Carlson Jr. : We didn't have any blacks at Prussian Valley! C'mon Andy.
Venus Flytrap : [calling after Andy and Arthur Jr. as they walk away] Oh yeah? Ain't no blacks *dumb* enough to go to a place called Prussian Valley!
Venus Flytrap : [turning to Johnny after Andy and Arthur Jr. have left] Hey man, how come you didn't tell me I was black?
