Default Fave 1st Season quote

Since the 1st season is coming to DVD, I thought it be fun to do quotes from the show. Only the 1st season.
I'll start it off.

Nell "Maybe the Tidy-Bowl-Man tried to make a break for it."

I like the episode when Nell brougt home a football player. When the Chief confronted her about it, and Nell quit, "It's just like you to not give two weeks notice", Nell: "Fine, I'll mail on on a BRICK!"

My favorite quotes are these:


Julie (without glasses): Who are you?

Sam: Sam.

Julie: Oh, Samantha!
------------------



Sam:I hate dresses. They show off your boobies.
-------------------




Sam: Is that what sex is all about?
-----------------



Grandpa: Whose having a baby. (To Nell) Well. I guess congratulations are in.

------------------


Simpson (To Sam locked in bathroom): Hello, there. This is your friend, Kermit the frog. You'd better come on outa there. Mr. Sunffoluffogus and I have the place surrounded. Little girl, why not be a nice little girl and come on out of there, ha? If you do your father will buy you an ice cream cone! (To the cheif) Go ahead. Tell the kid you'll buy her an ice cream cone.


-------------------


Chief: Plastic porno! (When he helps Sam put the skeleton figure together.

--------------------


Bill (A Guest Star) (To Sam):Grown-ups think kids have nothing to say. Kids think grown-ups have nothing to say.

Sam: Well, what do you think?

Bill: I've got nothing to say!

Sam: You know, Bill, you're weird, but cute. (Kisses him).

Bill: It's tough being a grow-up. I've been trying for years.

Here are some of my favorites from my favorite episode THE EMERGENCY:

Nurse: The doctor will look at here shortly. Here's a form, here's a pen.

Nell: And here's a FIST! I want to see a doctor!

Nurse: Is that a threat?

Nell: No dear, it's a PROMISE... from ME, the Good Hands People!



And then there's this hilarious exchange between Nell and a woman hogging a pay tele

Woman: (on phone) Uh-huh, yeah? Oh Mildred you're kidding. Margie said that?

Nell: Lady, lady...

Woman: (on phone) Excuse me, Mildred. (to Nell) I'm ON the PHONE!

Nell: You might have to have it surgically removed!

Woman: Just wait your turn.

Nell: Miss, please. I have to call some worried people at home and let them know that everything's all right.

Woman: Well they can wait another ten minutes, can't they? I mean if they're really all that worried they're not going to to go out to a movie or anything, right?

Nell: Lady, I'm about to reach out and touch someone!

Woman: Just a second. (on phone) I'm back... no just some pushy woman... your doorbell? Oh sure, Mildred, go see who it is. I'll wait... no, no problem, mmm hmmmm. (she starts humming, then Nell sees a gurney about to be wheeled away. She takes the woman's purse while her back is to her and hooks it onto the gurney).

Nell: Your purse, your purse! (the woman drops the phone and runs after it)

Nell: (on phone) Hello Mildred? Oh girl I hate your guts! Yeah and I don't EVER want to talk to you again!!!

How about from when she introduces herself to the Silver Slippers: "Hi! I'm Julie Kanisky and I'm a loonior at Jincoln High..."

Also from The Emergency: Nell tries to get the attention of an orderly after getting nowhere with the nurse at the desk...

Nurse: Hey, you can't do that!

Nell: Do me a favor, nurse... SIT ON A THERMOMETER!!!

I liked all the quotes......I was thinking of the episode when Carl shot the kid for his attempt to hold-up the corner store while purchasing items for Nell and his girls.

The cop who was hard on Nell, lots of funny lines, while nearing his exit of the Kanisky home, he told Carl that he should carry a gun because it is a lot of weirdos on the street, when the door closed, Nell said, the weirdo population just went up by 1.

I love Nell, and trully miss her and Dolfph, they were magical on screen.

I remember before the holdup happened, the clerk kept giving the Chief a lot of grief regarding the items he was purchasing (Julie's cream rinse, Nell's panty hose, etc.).

Clerk (after the Chief explains some of the items are for his daughter): "QUEEN SIZE pantyhose? What's your daughter, a Green Bay Packer?"

I loved Grandpa Kanisky and his bad hearing:
Grandpa: You don't have to yell anymore. I got a brand-new hearing aid. Everything comes in clear as a bell.

Carl: Yeah? That's great, Pop. What kind is it?

Grandpa: (Looks down at his watch) About half past five.
Angie had a good one in the episode with Danny Glover, where Nell was staying with Angie:
Angie: I used to have trouble drinking with straws. Then I started taking the paper off them.

Nell: Angie baby, how can such a small head hold so much air?

Angie: I sleep with the windows open.

I also liked the one that referred to that cheesy wine commercial from the late 70s-early 80s, where the woman in a slinky dress tells someone over the phone "... before it wasn't considered respectable for a woman to invite a man over for a drink..."

Julie asks Katie advice on asking a boy out and Katie says something along those lines, with the tag line "... but now, it's downright upright!!!"

Julie then responds, "Oh please, don't compare me to that STUPID woman on the TV commercial!"
