Dwight Schultz: 'Howling Mad' Murdock

Quotes 

• Tanen : What are you, crazy?

  H.M. Murdock : Of course I'm crazy, you got me out of a psychiatric ward of a V.A. hospital, stupid!

  Royko : Hey! You know what I do to guys who won't shut up? I take me some piano wire and sew their lips together.

  H.M. Murdock : That would hurt.

• Murdock : [on the phone with the bounty hunters who are holding Kelly hostage]  If you harm one hair on that girl's head, I will not sleep, I will not eat, I will hunt you down, and I will feed your head to the flies.

• Murdock : You have to have a boyfriend, you're a pretty girl.

  Dr. Kelly Stevens : [blushing]  Well, I have never been called pretty.

  [Murdock takes her to a mirror and holds it boldly in front of her] 

  Murdock : Pretty girl!

  Dr. Kelly Stevens : [Kelly sees in Murdock's eyes that he has genuine feelings for her, and her voice shows she is genuinely moved]  Y... you're crazy, you know that?

  Murdock : I know it, but do you?

• Kelly Stevens : You're crazy!

  H.M. Murdock : I know it. How'd you know it?

• H.M. Murdock : Now let me ask you a question: if you had a feeling that there was somebody in the back of your van, why, why didn't you tell those guys, why didn't you turn me in?

  Kelly Stevens : [indicating her dog]  Homer. He didn't chew your head off. I always found animals to be a pretty good judge of character.

• H.M. Murdock : [fiddling with a radio]  I can't believe this music. What happened to, to, Van Halen, Boy George, Frankie Goes To Hollywood?

  Kelly Stevens : Frankie Goes To Hollywood?

  H.M. Murdock : You'll love it, it has a great beat to it.

  Kelly Stevens : I gotta be honest to you, I've never really liked that kind of music.

  H.M. Murdock : What about The Rolling Stones?

  Kelly Stevens : Oh, oh, well, I know them, in fact there's a song they did I really like, 'Norwegian Wood'.

  H.M. Murdock : That was The Beatles.

  Kelly Stevens : [laughs]  Oh, well I always get them confused.

• Murdock : [to the bounty hunters]  Would you mind telling me why you blew a hole in my door?

• Orderly : Murdock, there's a visitor here for you.

  Murdock : Oh, if it's a bill collector, just tell them... just tell them that I ran out of stamps a couple months ago, they'll understand.

• Kelly Stevens : [visiting Murdock at the V.A]  Why are you here?

  Murdock : That's a long story.

  Kelly Stevens : Can we discuss the long story over a pizza?

  Murdock : Does it have pepperoni and mushrooms on it?

  Kelly Stevens : Well, there's pepperoni but we'll have to make do without the mushrooms.

  Murdock : [opens the box lid]  You took a bite out of it already!
