What is it and why?

04-27-2001, 12:21 PM

I got some favorite Partridge quotes:

Reuben: How old is he?
Tracy: Ten. Why?
Reuben: I'm getting this funny feeling that I'm dealing with a 40-year-old midget.

- from "What? And Get Out Of Showbusiness?"

Keith: That's about the dumbest idea you ever came up with!
Danny: Why?
Keith: Because they find his body within 2 hours!
Danny: So what? We'll be sure to get off. Family honor.
Keith: Family honor? What do you think we are? A Cicily? You know,I don't think we have a chance. It's our duty to tell her.
Tracy: Tell her what?
Danny: That he's a philanderer!
Chris: You mean he collects stamps?
- from "When Mother Gets Married"

What other Partridge quotes can you think of?

Mom: "Tracy-get that drumstick out of your nose! You don't know where it's been!!"

How 'bout...
"Gee Mom I'd love to, but I've gotta go disect my frog" Laurie
(when her mom asks here to slice a piece of cake for her to take over to Keith (in his crappy apt.) ep. #42 (Waiting for Bolero).

So unlike Laurie.

JethroSimpson · 03-14-2002, 03:47 PM

Shirley- There's more to life than just morals and values

Danny- What's that in dollars and cents?

darryl · 01-14-2004, 11:03 PM

"You seem to play that banjo well too Keith."
(from Episode #25 A Knight In Shining Armor)

"Gee, sounds like case for The Mod Squad."
(from Episode #36 I Can Get It For You Retail)

"Who's gonna hear us, the anchor?"
(from Episode #82 (The Last Howard)

"If you are big enough to get away wit it, It's right. That's international law."
(from Episode #58 Swiss Family Partridge)

Anybody else have any fave lines from the show?

Lamont Holmes · 03-11-2004, 05:54 PM

In "What? And Get Out Of Showbusiness?" there's some lines from that episode that I like. Here they are:

DANNY: Mom.I want to talk to you about this project I've been researching.

SHIRLEY: Not now,honey.I'm trying to get these bills paid.

DANNY: But it has some very growig potential,and very little outside risk. All I need is a little capital,Mom,and I can make you a very wealthy woman.

SHIRLEY: Danny, the only thing that i'm worried right now is this bill for peanut butter.Looks like the National Debt.

DANNY: I'm worried about you,Mom.You're too old to be working.

SHIRLEY: Thank you,honey. You just made my day.

Another fave line is:

SHIRLEY: Chris,why do you want to leave the group?

CHRIS: It's sissy stuff!

SHIRLEY: But you always love to play the drums.

CHRIS: I was just a little kid then.

LAURIE: It's because of Debbie,Mom.

SHIRLEY: What does debbie have to do with it?

KEITH: Debbie,maybe you better show Mom why Chris is so uptight.

Then Debbie starts playing the drums like a proffesional drummer. No wonder Jeremy couldn't play!

batfink60 · 05-05-2004, 01:05 AM

in the final ep. when the kids are to meet cpt. cuddles (moms' old flame) for the first time danny goes to answer the door but is stopped by keith who says sarcasticly,"do you want his first impression of us to be you?"

Punky L · 05-06-2004, 04:15 AM

There are a number of lines from the Partridge Family that I found myself using throughout my life. One was something Danny said to Mr Kincaid.
"Keep it up, your slowly working your way out of my heart"
another was "Did you just tell me the facts of life?"

greelywinger · 05-06-2004, 10:57 AM

"I refused to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed man."
I have a keychain of this, except instead of 'man' it says 'person'.

Oriole Adams · 06-21-2004, 01:18 AM

Danny, taking a picture of Keith:

"This would make a great centerfold for 'Boring' magazine."

Reuben Kincaid, in "Swiss Family Partridge":

"Great. Stuck in a deserted cabin with five kids, no food..." (Danny cracks his knuckles for the umpteenth time) "...and Herb Albert and his Tijuana Knuckles."

(can't remember the exact quote, but it was something along those lines)

Lamont Holmes · 06-22-2004, 05:43 PM

Here's some quotes that are funny:

Chris: They're engaged! They're engaged,I tell you!

Keith: Wait! Wait! Calm down Chris. What makes you think they're engaged?

Chris: Because he said so! He said Mom's gonna start a whole new life!

Tracy: And he gave her a diamond ring.
("When Mother Gets Married")

Danny: Do you have to do that? I'll end up smelling like a girl.

Laurie: Well,you have to be so lucky. Anyway,anything's better than skunk.

Danny: I don't know. At least skunk has a masculine smell.

Shirley: Okay,kids. Welcome to Mae West's boudiour.

Chris: Who?

Shirley: Just get in.
("But The Memory Lingers On")

(Danny whispering)
Danny: Keith,Is that you?

Keith: Danny?

(Danny comes out of the closet)

Keith: Danny,what are you doing in here? Julie's looking all over for you!

Danny: That's why i'm hiding in here!

Keith: Well,don't you worry. She's looking for you in the garage.
("The Eleven Year Old Itch")

Can you think of more "Partridge Family" quotes???

Orville Kruger · 06-22-2004, 07:33 PM

When Danny was leaving to go get his tonsils removed, we hear him from outside:
"Goodbye garage!"

hysterical TV stuff

greelywinger · 06-22-2004, 11:42 PM

How about from the same episode...
Reuben- "He may not be able to talk for days."

Thomas Michaels · 10-26-2004, 04:25 PM

Here are some GOOD quotes from The Partridge Family :

In Episode #7:"Danny And The Mob",Keith says to Chris "Hold it,hold it!Chris,you're speeding up the tempo." Chris answers
"I can't help it. That music is playing faster than we are and it's messing me up." Reuben says "Can't you close your eyes? Laurie says "Then he'd fall asleep."

In Episode #28: "A Man Called Snake",Snake comes in and says "Que Pasa?",and then he says "You must be Laurie Partridge! Laurie stammers,and says "I...I must." Snake says "I'm Harry Murphy." Tracy says to Mom "Why is he wearing a earring?"
Snake says "It's sentimental,kid. It used to belong to my father".

In Episode # 80: "Double Trouble",the family's playing Monopoly,and Danny says "Don't move that piece,move that one.
Then you can bump Keith back to 'START'".

What other quotes do you remember?
