Quote from Dick
Don: I got the stuff, Dick. What's the emergency?
Dick: What's the emergency?! I've got a commuter line due at 6:13 and no one's there to board the train! [blows train whistle] Oh, no! The Erie-Lackawanna's right on time! Here, Don, hand me those commuters! Okay. Okay, junior, you hold the vicar's hand now. Porter! Porter! Oh, good. We made it.
Don: Uh... Dick, you know, why don't we take a little breather and get a couple of drinks?
Dick: Oh, and when? I got to glue the orange roof on my Howard Johnson's.
Don: Yeah, I understand, but, you know, maybe things will slow down a bit.
Dick: Oh. Not likely. [blows whistle] All aboard! Next stop, White Plains! Choo choo choo choo. [blows train whistle]
Quote from Dick
Nina: Dr. Solomon, this arrived in the mail.
Dick: Oh, good. My hospital's here.
Nina: Your tiny little doctors will be so relieved.
Dick: Hmm. I guess.
Quote from Dick
Mary: Dick, what's bothering you?
Dick: Well, nobody likes me.
Mary: Oh, I find that hard to believe.
Dick: You do?
Mary: Well, sure. Oh, okay, so we broke up, but- but I saw something in you once. Surely someone else will see that, too.
Dick: Really? That means a lot, coming from someone who's pretty great herself.
Mary: Well, I meant it.
Dick: I meant it, too.
Mary: Thank you.
Dick: You want to do it?
Mary: No!
Dick: I understand completely.
Quote from Sally
Dick: Have a good time, Sally.
Sally: I hope she likes you.
Dick: Thanks. I hope he tells you to piss off.
Sally: I've got my fingers crossed.

Don: I don't know and I don't care!

Quote from Dick
Dick: Lately, I've been spending a lot of time fooling around with models.
Don: [tapping cup] Dick.
Dick: Don thinks I shouldn't talk about it. He thinks models are dumb. But, actually, most of them are very exciting and fun.
Celia: Why is it the fantasy of every loser to date models?
Dick: Date? What are you talking about?
Celia: Well, what are you talking about?
Dick: Model trains.
Celia: Oh, my God. I'm so- I- I- I- I thought you meant models. You know, women.
Dick: Oh, models. Tall, leggy models. [laughter]
Don: Dick with beautiful models. That's a funny one.
Dick: Yeah. If I was hanging around with models, why would I be here tonight? [Dick laughs]
Quote from Dick
Dick: Oh, I- I am so sorry. That came out all wrong. You see, that's exactly why I'm such a loser! I'm not suave with all the slick lines and the right things to say. I'm lucky to be here with anybody, especially with women as nice as the two of you.
Bibi: Oh, you're not that bad.
Dick: No, really, I- I'm sorry. I have ruined your whole evening. I've just come out of a relationship with a woman that I gave my heart and soul to, and I- I- I- I'm just not very good at this. I'm sorry.
Both: Aww.
Celia: Oh, no, you're doing just fine.
Dick: I am?
Don: He is?
