Jan Smithers: Bailey Quarters

Quotes 

• Bailey Quarters : [Herb has made it clear he's got Jennifer in his sights while his wife's away for ten days]  That is so degrading! Why don't you do something about that, Jennifer?

  Jennifer Marlowe : [daunted]  Ten days?

  Bailey Quarters : I wouldn't stand for it!

  [slams filing cabinet shut] 

  Jennifer Marlowe : I can't do ten days.

  Bailey Quarters : You know what you gotta do?

  Jennifer Marlowe : What?

  Bailey Quarters : Just once, what do you suppose would happen if you said 'yes' to Herb?

  Jennifer Marlowe : [dismayed]  Bailey!

  Bailey Quarters : Nothing would happen!

  Jennifer Marlowe : Bailey, this is Herb!

  Bailey Quarters : Who is all show and no go!

  Jennifer Marlowe : [mulling it over]  Say 'yes'?

  Bailey Quarters : Jennifer, as soon as a woman gets just a little bit aggressive, the man starts running!

  Jennifer Marlowe : Uh, but, Bailey... Bailey, I couldn't stand it if everybody around here thought Herb and I were...

  [closes her eyes] 

  Bailey Quarters : [nods]  Yeah, I know what you mean.

  [but persists:] 

  Bailey Quarters : Listen, you call a bluff's bluff, and he crumbles.

  [acting like a woman of the world:] 

  Bailey Quarters : I've done it a dozen times.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Well, I...

  Bailey Quarters : Do it, it can't fail!

  Jennifer Marlowe : All right, I'll do it!
