Richard Sanders: Les Nessman

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.
