Andy: "Bonefish"? They good to eat?
Mr Carlson: Wake up Travis, you don't eat bonefish. You just catch 'em, then you put 'em back.
Andy: Wait a minute, let me get this straight. You're gonna fly to Miami. You're gonna change planes to a small, dangerous little craft, fly into the Bermuda Triangle with a pilot that does not speak English, rent a boat, hire a guide - now how much you into this thing for, about $5000?
Mr Carlson: Yeah.
Andy: To catch this fish and then let it go?
Mr Carlson: Yeah.
Andy, admiringly: That's gotta be fun.
Les: Hello Mrs Carlson.
Carmen: Hello, Les.
Mr Carlson: Les, would you excuse us, please, my wife is pregnant.
Les: Yes, of course.
Carmen: Arthur, I'm over thirty. I might even be over forty, I'd have to check.
Mr Carlson: When do you suppose it happened?
Carmen: Dr Levin says it was four weeks ago.
Mr Carlson: Four weeks ago... (He gets out the calendar) I bet it was Tuesday night after the Kiwanis dance. You sure were beautiful in that blue dress.
Carmen: Maybe it was that night Anson Williams* hosted the Tonight Show.
Mr Carlson: No - it was Friday night, remember, after we came back from seeing "Superman"!
*For those too young to remember, Anson Williams was "Potsy" on "Happy Days."
Johnny: 2.96 [times a week]? I wonder how they do the, uh, 96 part.
Bailey: That is just an average, Johnny.
Johnny: Well, it should average out to three. Somebody's not doing something right!
Andy: Hiya Herbert, how's sales?
Herb, building a house out of pencils: Fine.
Andy: What's the matter with Herb?
Les: Herb's not average, Andy.
Johnny: Well, I think I wouldn't want to be responsible for bringing another person into the world the way it is.
Herb: Here we go again!
Johnny: Well, the future does look pretty bleak, Herb.
Andy: What, you've seen the future?
Johnny: Yeah.
Herb: Where?
Johnny: In my living room.
Mr Carlson: How many times have you said to yourself, "If I knew then what I know now"? Well, by golly, this is the new then. Now, I mean. Because I know now what I didn't used to know then. As a manner of speaking, you could say that I know now what I know now.
Jennifer: Hello Mrs Carlson, how've you been?
Momma Carlson: Perfect. And you?
Jennifer: The same.
Les: Mr Carlson, when I think of all the little babies up in heaven waiting to be born, looking for the right kind of parents, and I think what fine people you and Mrs Carlson are, I think how lucky some little baby's going to be.
Mr Carlson: Thank you, Les.
Les, in the same gentle voice: Mr Carlson, no one is allowed to touch my Silver Sow Award.
Mr Carlson: I'm sorry, Les, I -
Les: Good night, Mr Carlson.
Mr Carlson: Venus, have you got any idea how old my wife is?
Venus, who hasn't heard the news yet: Beg your pardon?
Mr Carlson: I'd sure like to have a girl, Venus.
Venus: We all would, Mr Carlson.
Mr Carlson: 'Course, you know, a boy'd be nice too.
Venus, after a pause: Pardon me?
Mr Carlson: Well, I mean, I'd prefer a girl, but I'd, you know, take a boy. I don't care. How about you?
Venus: Uhhhh, girl.
Mr Carlson: Ah. You see, I'm just not that fussy.
Venus: Apparently not.
Venus on Mr Carlson: No mental problems there.
The Carlsons fight:
Carmen: Why don't you just for once think of yourself first??
Mr Carlson: Oh, that's just like you! All you ever think about is me!!
Carmen: Just once, be selfish!!
Mr Carlson on the phone: Venus? Mr Carlson here. I've got this ... young girl in my office. (Mrs Carlson smiles) Will you stop saying "I beg your pardon" and just listen? As a favour to me Venus, I wonder if you could play something soft and sweet. Well, do it anyway!
