[edit] Haven Hamilton
- All right I wanna do another one... I wanna hear a little more Haven in this one.
- When I ask for Pig, I want Pig. Now you get me Pig, and then we'll be ready to record this here tune.
- You get your haircut. You don't belong in Nashville.
- Shut up, Pearl.
- Y'all take it easy now. This isn't Dallas, it's Nashville! They can't do this to us here in Nashville! Let's show them what we're made of. Come on everybody, sing! Somebody, sing!
[edit] Hal Phillip Walker
- Who do you think is running Congress? Farmers? Engineers? Teachers? Businessmen? No, my friends. Congress is run by lawyers. A lawyer is trained for two things and two things only. To clarify – that's one. And to confuse – that's the other. He does whichever is to his client's advantage. Did you ever ask a lawyer the time of day? He told you how to make a watch, didn't he? Ever ask a lawyer how to get to Mr. Jones' house in the country? You got lost, didn't you? Congress is composed of 535 individuals. Two hundred and eighty-eight are lawyers. And you wonder what's wrong in Congress. No wonder we often know how to make a watch, but we don't know the time of day.

- Star: You look like a guy I was in the Navy with. He never took a bath...we finally had to pee in his bed to get him discharged.
- Bill: (seeing a Hal Philip Walker bumper sticker stuck on a Connie White poster) Oh my God, Hal Philip Walker looks just like Connie White!
- Barnett: Don't tell me how to run your life!
[edit] Dialogue
- Marthe ("L. A. Joan"): Hi, Tom, could you sign my record?
- Tom Frank: You better get off that diet before you ruin yourself.
- Bill: Is this just network or is it, uh ...?
- John Triplette: No, it's better, it's really better than network. It's going to be syndicated, so I mean, hell, they're going to be showing it for a year and a half.
- Mary: I'm not dressing like we're twins anymore.
- Bill: We're not twins! We're a trio!
