Good Day Dr Brewster....I said GOOD DAY!
shareMichael Dorsey: You should have seen the look on her face when she thought I was a lesbian.
George Fields: "Lesbian"? You just said gay.
Michael Dorsey: No, no, no - SANDY thinks I'm gay, JULIE thinks I'm a lesbian.
George Fields: I thought Dorothy was supposed to be straight?
Michael Dorsey: Dorothy IS straight. Tonight Les, the sweetest, nicest man in the world asked me to marry him.
George Fields: A guy named Les wants YOU to marry him?
Michael Dorsey: No, no, no - he wants to marry Dorothy.
George Fields: Does he know she's a lesbian?
Michael Dorsey: Dorothy's NOT a lesbian.
George Fields: I know that, does HE know that?
Michael Dorsey: Know WHAT?
George Fields: That, er, I... I don't know.

RON CARLISLE: What is idiotic about power making a woman masculine?
Not that that was my point…
When Hoffman tells Pollack that a family did move back to Love Canal he responds:
WHO GIVES A *beep* Nobody wants to pay to pay $20 to see a family living next to chemical waste. They can see that in New Jersey.
I don't believe in hell. I believe in unemployment, but not hell.
There are no other women like you, Michael- you're a man!
By the way, Mercutio- I like your user ID :)

"Does Jeff know?" -- old guy on soap opera
share"If you could just see me out of these clothes!"-- which doesn't help when Julie already thinks Dorothy is a lesbian. That whole scene is hilarious.
Also, Teri Garr's brilliant tirade when Hoffman tells her he's in love with someone else- "I read The Second Sex! I'm responsible for my own orgasm!..."
Julie: I know I'm pretty and I use it. I just guess I shouldn't have gone to Dr. Brewster's office so late.
Dorothy: Well, no, that's not true. You know, Dr. Brewster has tried to seduce several nurses on this ward. Always claiming to be in the throes of an uncontrollable impulse. Do you know what?
Ron Carlisle: Uh-oh.
Dorothy: I think I'm gonna give every nurse on this floor an electric cattle prod, and just instruct them to just *zap* him in his badoobies.
Ron Carlisle: *Cattle* prod!
Dorothy: Ruby? Hi, you wanna open the yellow pages under the section, Farm Equipment retail...
I think I almost pee my pants everytime I watch that scene.

Especially that very last line. I just cannot stop laughing!
Producer: I want to make her look more attractive. How far can you pull back?
Cameraman: How about Cleveland?
Cracks me up everytime. lmao
It's a dirty job,but I pay clean money for it.

Michael: "Sandy,...I'm in love with another woman."
Sandy: *SCREAMS* "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TO ME!!!!!"
