Anthony: "Everytime I spend the evening with you BJ, I always end up on a contraption upside down."

Viva Las Vegas [7.06]

[B.J. plans to take everyone to Las Vegas to cheer Anthony up after his broken engagement.]

Anthony: B.J., you have no way of knowing this, but every adventure I've ever gone on with these women — from going to Graceland when it was closed to spending the night wearing pantyhose in a ten degree motel room with Suzanne Sugarbaker — has just ended up as a total disaster. Y'know, this just may be the adventure that I've been waiting for... the one that just finishes me off.

B.J.: Is that a yes?

Anthony: I'll get my bags.

[The ladies rush into Anthony's hotel room to tell him about their winnings and find him asleep with a showgirl.]

Carlene: I just can't believe you! I thought you were up here nursing a broken heart... but here you are hokey-pokeying with some showgirl!

Anthony: (looking over at the sleeping girl) Who the hell is that?

Mary Jo: Oh c'mon, Anthony! It's your little friend from the Follies Bergere!

Anthony: But how the hell did she get in my bed?!

B.J.: Boy... if you can pull that one off you're my first choice for this year's Academy Award.

Anthony: Look... I'm not kidding!! I don't have any idea how she got here! Oooh... my head.....

Bernice: You know, this girl is really a snoozer. I think that we should get her up and slap her around and make her tell us what happened.

Julia: Bernice. Please, You're not gonna slap anybody's face."

'Bernice: Well, Excuse me again, Miss Warbond. But I don't think you single handedly lead this wagon train to Las Vegas.

---

Anthony: This is like some kind of a nightmare!

B.J.: Oh yeah, that's horrible. A beautiful, voluptuous showgirl comes into your hotel room, takes her clothes off, sleeps with you... I imagine you'll block it out, just like Vietnam.

Oh Dog, Poor Dog [7.13]

Bernice: "Anthony, did they hurt you? Do you need mouth to mouth?"

Anthony: "Nah, they didn't."

Bernice: "Listen up people, you mess with my homeboy, and I'll get busy with you! (Barking) WOOF! WOOF! WOOF WOOF WOOF! WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Julia: " Calm down! CALM DOWN! Nobody's gonna hurt you. Nobody's gonna hurt anybody."

Bernice: "How do I know that you're telling me the truth?!"

Sex, Lies and Bad Hair Days [7.16]

[B.J. shows up for work depressed and with her head covered in a scarf.]

B.J.: In an impulsive moment of stupidity I've just made myself the victim of public humiliation and ruined my entire life.

Carlene: B.J., what did you do?!

Mary Jo: She's changed her hairdo.

B.J.: How'd you know?

Mary Jo: Because that's just the kind of thing that women do when they come up against a milestone event. They either sell their house or decide to become a therapist . . . or go completely crazy and change their hair. The scarf was a dead giveaway.

B.J.: Well, thank you, Mary Jo. I came in here feeling like I was stupid. Now I know it's worse . . . I'm a stupid cliche.

The Woman Who Came to Sugarbakers [7.19]

Bernice: "Do you know what I really enjoy?"

Mrs. Beecham: "As if we'd care."

Bernice: "Stop right there sister, you can peck at the chickens, but don't mess with the mother hen."

Mrs. Beecham: "Do I have to listen to this barnyard babble from this silly-old goose?!"

Bernice: (Jumps up out of the sofa, and demands a challenge to Mrs. Beecham.) "That doe's it! Let's take this outside! Hold me back, I'm gonna knock her block off!"

Julia: (Restrains and calms Bernice down.) "Bernice, Bernice!"

B.J: (In a seance trance.) "OOOOh OOOOh OOOOh. Somethin is happenin Mrs. Beecham! I can feel his presence. He's with us HMM! The next voice you hear, will be none other than your dead, dearly, deported Irwiiiinnn!

Mrs. Beecham: "Irwin, tell me what to do?

(Electricity crackles and lights go off.)

Mrs. Beecham: "Yes Irwin! I will! I'll stay here forever!"
