Okay. This one gets complicated. Here's what you need to know to understand these quotes...
Herb is in the hospital.
So Mr Carlson pretends to be Herb in order to make a sale.
Jennifer runs off to find a Mr Carlson. She comes back with Les.
Bailey doesn't know who she is.
Johnny pretends to be Andy, because there's a thug after Johnny. He says Andy is his brother Randy. (That would make him Randy Travis.)
Got all that? I sure hope so.

Jennifer: Johnny! Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny! I'll give you $20 to get rid of these guys. (Guys applying for Herb's job)
Johnny: $20??
Jennifer: All right, 30.
Johnny: It's interesting you should mention money, Jennifer...
Jennifer: What's it worth to you?
Johnny: $562.16. I got into a friendly little poker game.
Jennifer: Silly me, if I lent you money I would never be able to respect you again.
Johnny: I could live with that.
Jennifer: I couldn't
Johnny: Well, let's examine this word "respect" ...

Andy: I find myself in the very unusual position of telling you that you were not wrong about this. (A glare from Mr Carlson) No offence.

Johnny: Les, how many years have we been working here, and we never take the time to just shoot the bull.
Les, suspiciously: What bull?
Johnny: Talk, chat, converse! You know!
Les: Oh, rap!

Les: Last night I was feeling completely alone in the cosmos. An insignificant speck in the sandbox of time. Which is unusual for me, Johnny. I'm generally a pretty "up" fellow.
Johnny: I'll say.
Les: But I remembered what Mother Nessman said to do when frustrated, and so, I beat my rugs. Every night this week I've beaten my rugs. They're very clean.
Johnny: Fascinating, Les.

Pat the concert promoter, to "Herb": Oh so this your Jennifer?
Jennifer: I beg your pardon?
Pat: Oh Herb's told me all about you.
Jennifer: Impossible.
Pat: You're a lucky man, Herb!

Pat: All right, listen, it's safer if we just settle this down here. I can't take another bust!
Mr Carlson: Bust?
Jennifer: Arrest.
Mr Carlson: Arrest? Wait a minute, what's going on here?
Pat: Shh! Look, look. The contract you sent me is fine, right? I've got a cheque for the whole $9000. The problem is your, uh, special fee.
Mr Carlson: Fee?
Jennifer: Kickback.
Pat: I'm worried this guy Carlson isn't as dumb as you say!
Mr Carlson: Dumb?!
Jennifer: Gullible.

Pat on Herb and Jennifer's affair: Isn't Mrs Tarlek at all suspicious?
Mr Carlson: I don't think so. 'Course, I only see her once or twice a year.

Pat to "Mr Carlson": I understand you've been bitten by the fishing bug.
Les: Where?
Mr Carlson: That means you like to fish.
Les: But I don't!
Jennifer: Well Mr Carlson, then we'll just get rid of all these stuffed fish. Why don't we all sit down?
Les, looking around: Oh yes - I fish.

Jennifer: Don't apologize to me, apologize to Herb.
Les: I would if he were here.
Mr Carlson: I am.
Les: Oh, I'm sorry!
Mr Carlson: Don't mention it.

Andy: Now wait just a minute, I hate to interrupt here -
Thug: Then don't.
Andy: OK.

Mr Carlson: Jennifer, in a little while when I'm happy again because we've made a sale, remind me what's been said about me and by whom. A certain little salesman I know is going to suffer.

Andy: It's nice to see the sales department is running like a well-oiled machine. Good work, "Herb."
Mr Carlson, casting an eye on the thug: Just doin' my job, Johnny.
He exits and the thug slowly advances on Andy

Johnny to the real Herb: You've got Les's job. It's kinda confusing.
Herb: Carlson gave his word!
Johnny: Which one?
Herb: Which word?
Johnny: Which Carlson?
