  [singing] 

  Greg Nolan : Hey! A little less conversation, a little more action, please, All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me, A little more bite and a little less bark, A little less fight and a little more spark, Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me, Satisfy me, baby...

  Mike Lansdown : As a photographer!

• Mike Lansdown : [in his office, lying face down on a massage table with nothing on but a towel, getting a simultaneous rub down, manicure and pedicure]  Running a magazine of this magnitude requires me to be mentally alert at all times. I try keeping the blood circulating, blood goes to the brain: alert! I also find I have very little time to waste, Nolan; so, what is the truth?

  [masseuse starts walking on his back] 

  Greg Nolan : Mr. Landsdown...

  Mike Lansdown : Call me Mike. I hate formalities.

  Greg Nolan : Mike, the truth is: I need a job.

  [Mr. Landsdown starts laughing] 

• Harry : Happy House Warming, Greg! Whew!

• Greg Nolan : This turnip and tiger's milk cocktail is de-licious.

• Greg Nolan : I'm sure you have a dandy reason for being here.

• Penlow : Personal appearance - that's the secret! Where you live, what you drive, where you drink, what you drink, who makes your clothes, who styles your hair, who shrinks your head.

  Greg Nolan : Who shrinks my head? Nobody.

  Penlow : You mean you're not in analysis?

• Mike Lansdown : I am not an unreasonable man. Do you think I'm an unreasonable man?

• Mike Lansdown : Find yourself a girl. Find two or three. Find five.

  Greg Nolan : There sure are a lot of them around.

  Mike Lansdown : I always invite five girls to one man. A matter of principal.

  Greg Nolan : Kinda hard on the girls, isn't it?

  Mike Lansdown : Listen, Greg, this is a man's world and I'm gonna keep it that way; because, that's the way the birds like to nest.

• Greg Nolan : Look, what does it take to get through to you? We have nothing in common, we never did, we never will.

  Bernice : Oh, Greg, how can you be so controvertible?

  Greg Nolan : Controvertible?

• Greg Nolan : You're not going to trick me again. Get yourself an apartment.

  [Bernice cries] 

  Greg Nolan : Put Albert in a kennel.

  [Albert howls] 

  Greg Nolan : Oh, shut up Albert. Volunteer to be the first woman on the moon, I don't care. You're not gonna mess up my life.

• Greg Nolan : [in the shower]  Is there something else you want?

  Bernice : [from outside the shower]  Do you want me to scrub your back for you?

  Greg Nolan : No, that's not necessary. Thank you.

  Bernice : No, I don't mind. Really, I don't.

  Greg Nolan : It's not necessary. Look, Bernice, why don't you go...

  Bernice : Afraid?

  Greg Nolan : Of what?

  Bernice : That you might lose control.

  Greg Nolan : I *never* lose control.

  Bernice : Okay, prove that you can allow me to scrub your back without - attacking me.

  Greg Nolan : You're nuts. Nuts!

  Bernice : Afraid?

  Greg Nolan : Of course not!

  Bernice : Fine.

  [starts to scrub Nolan's lower back] 

  Greg Nolan : Hey! My back don't go that far down.

  Bernice : Beginning to lose control, huh?

  Greg Nolan : Hell, no.

• Greg Nolan : Thank you, Doctor. Sorry to call you so late.

  Doctor : Don't you worry about it. I'll bill you for it.

• Bernice : I hope you realize how much I appreciate what you're doing for me.

  Greg Nolan : It's perfectly alright. Perfectly alright.

  Bernice : I hope its not too much of an inconvenience.

  Greg Nolan : Inconvenience? To have a full grown horse and a half-grown woman share my one-bedroom house, you must be kiddin'.

• Mermaid : What's that matter? Did a girl keep you up all night?

  Greg Nolan : You've got a dirty mind.

• Greg Nolan : Look, I'm a man. I like to make decisions for myself. If you ever start thinking like a woman, you'll understand what that means.

• Greg Nolan : [singing]  Your lips were made for kisses so tender, I'm almost in love tonight, When we are close, my heart says surrender, I'm almost in love tonight...

• Greg Nolan : [Referring to her drink]  That wouldn't be a screwdriver you have there would it?
