Quotes 

• Osborn Tremaine : When will the government stop interfering with private business?

• Joe Merkel : Let's not kid ourselves, Lisa. We'll be the laugh of the century after the headlines come out: Abner Peacock - Leader of the Sex Revolution is a Virgin.

  Osborn Tremaine : A virgin?

  Evelyn Tremaine : That's the dirtiest thing I ever heard in my life!

• Osborn Tremaine : If I am guilty of anything, Your Honor, it is of being a lover of grace and beauty.

  Judge Jeremiah Claypool : Grace and beauty? If your idea of grace and beauty is this coarse, over-developed, caricature of a woman...

  Osborn Tremaine : Your Honor! You're speaking about my wife!

  Judge Jeremiah Claypool : Your wife?

  [looks at the cover of "NUDE & Naughty" magazine] 

  Judge Jeremiah Claypool : Well, that is Evelyn, isn't it.

• Osborn Tremaine : Did you hear that mother? Did you see the one in there where she's in the hammock with her legs up?

• Atty. Gen. Frederick Snow : [on the TV]  The truth is, Abner Peacock is not fighting for great principals. He is fighting for the privilege of dirtying America - with Smut like this!

  [displays a copy of "Peacock's Magazine" with Evelyn on her knees, mouth open, clutching her breast, wearing black lingerie, camera moves in for close up] 

  Atty. Gen. Frederick Snow : And this. More of his revolting nudity. Disgusting, isn't it. How do you like this? And this?

  Evelyn Tremaine : [on the phone]  Yes! Isn't it wonderful! Me on television! Everybody I knows been calling.

  Osborn Tremaine : [rushes in]  Hurry up! They're showing the one of you and Armando in the hammock!

  Evelyn Tremaine : Oh, I'll call you right back mother.

• Osborn Tremaine : Miss LaMonica, perhaps you've heard of me: Osborn Tremaine.

  Lisa LaMonica : I just had the office cleaned.

• Lisa LaMonica : You want me to put out a dirty, pornographic magazine?

  Osborn Tremaine : That's right.

  J. Charles Twilight : But, it's gotta have: class.

  Lisa LaMonica : Class.

  Osborn Tremaine : And sex!

• Lisa LaMonica : Without Abner Peacock, we've got nothing. Why, he's the gimmick. He's the image. Well, he's the greatest built-in sex promotion since Valentino!

  Osborn Tremaine : That snook?

  Lisa LaMonica : Whatever he is, right now he's the answer to frustrated America's most wicked dreams.

• Osborn Tremaine : What is this nonsense about Evelyn not being on the cover of our first issue?

  Lisa LaMonica : Osborn, we'll discuss that later.

  Osborn Tremaine : There's nothing to discuss!

  [to Evelyn] 

  Osborn Tremaine : Get into your garter belt, mother. You're going to be on that cover.
