Quotes 

• Director : [on the phone]  Bob, man they just walked off the set! I don't know where they went, they said they were going to Paris. Now that isn't my responsibility, man, I'm not a baby sitter, you know what I mean? Look, how do I know what to put on the air? Put on a half hour commercial like the Johnny Carson Show. Or better yet, why don't you put on another Monkees segment, I mean they're all the same. I saved the show for you, though, babe, I got a nice tight close up of the Monkey. Hahaha. very funny.

• Davy : [realizing they're filming the same episode they deserted before]  Jim, what is this? The secret apple?

  Mike : We just got back, we wanted to get away from this.

  Micky : And it's the same thing!

  Peter : [holding up the prop gun held by Art Lewis]  And what's with this? What's with this? Violence on the show? Every time we turn around somebody's got a gun!

  Director : [motioning to Art Lewis]  Will you listen to me? He doesn't have a mustache, he's not using an accent, and it's not the microfilm, it's the secret apple.

  Davy : Yeah, and when's the short guy gonna come in? It's the same one every week.

  Micky : Same show!

  Mike : Man, it's terrible.

  Davy : The same story and they change it around.

  Micky : [to the viewer]  We'll see you next week, kids.

  Mike : [apologetically]  Yeah, we'll think of something by then.

  Davy : [apologetically]  Hey, it's a drag.

  Director : [as the boys sadly walk off the set]  Uh, okay, let's come in for a closeup on the monkey.

• Director : Now Artie, I've changed the concept completely: no moustache, no foreign accent, and this time, instead of coming in and asking for the microfilm, you ask for the Secret Apple!

  Artie : Huh, so what's the difference in the script?

  Director : Don't get smart!
