"I got no problem with that."
Added By: Clint_Olson
Parker Braithwaite:
"How can "The Senator and Stinky" get a zero share?"
Francine Kester:
"Not one of the fifteen hundred Computron sets were tuned into it. In short, nobody watched."
Parker Braithwaite:
"Nobody watched, huh? It just so happens that we received four hundred letters complaining about the show... so somebody's watching."
Francine Kester:
"None of the Computron households."
Parker Braithwaite:
"Households. That's the flaw in your system! You don't take into account college dormitories... prisons... Our shows get a lot of fan mail from mental institutions. That never shows up in your ratings!"

"Hey, Boss, you got a good broad here."
Vic De Salvo:
"Bruno, didn't you have your consciousness raised by the women's movement? You're not supposed to say 'broad' in front of them."
Added By: Clint_Olson
Goody DeSalvo:
"Since you got money, you only go out with beautiful women who treat you like dirt."
Vic De Salvo:
"It's a step up. Before I had money, I went out with ugly women who treated me like dirt."
Goody DeSalvo:
"What you need is a nice girl who likes you for yourself."
Vic De Salvo:
"That's not my type."
