- [said as the well-dressed young man wheels his wheelchair towards the dining room table for breakfast with his father Aaron and older brother Max, Stephen Macht's role]
- Aaron Fisk: Uh, good morning, sleepyhead.
- [said lovingly as he walks over to push Danny's chair the rest of the way to his place at the table]
- Aaron Fisk: Ah, he stays up 'til three in the morning watching Alice Faye movies, huh. Danny, you can't get into your head the lady's married?
- Danny Fisk: Maybe I dig unrequited love.
- Aaron Fisk: Unrequited love - for a grandmother? Look - you're looking for unrequited, what's wrong with Raquel Welch? Huh?
- [referring to '60s & '70s movie sex goddess]
- Danny Fisk: [responding to his dad's spoken invitation to courtside seats for the NY Nicks - Boston Celtics game that evening, followed by dinner at the Palm] ... As long as I'm in bed by 11:30; it's Paulette Goddard week on Channel 9.
- Aaron Fisk: [throwing his arms up; dumbfounded] Uh! Paulette Goddard too? Next thing you know you'll be writing mash notes to Gloria Swanson.
