Quote from Moira

Moira: I'm going to be on council.
Johnny: We'll, that's the spirit. Positive thinking.
Moira: I won! Jocelyn quit the election.
Johnny: What?
Moira: She couldn't take it anymore.
Johnny: Well, think what you can do in four years.
Moira: Four years? No, no one said anything about four years.
Johnny: And-and the thought of working with Roland every day. I mean, that's I wouldn't even think about that.
Moira: Oh, John. What have I done?

Quote from Roland

Roland: Wait. Are you saying that I had something-
Johnny: I'm not pointing any fingers,
Roland: Uh-huh.
Johnny: But if I find out you had anything to do with this, even though you're acting like you don't-
Roland: Well, if I find out that you're accusing me of doing something I didn't do, then I'm going to accuse you of making false accusations.
Johnny: Fine. But if you're denying doing something you might have done and making me feel guilty For accusing you of something you claim you didn't do-
Roland: Ooh, is that a threat?
Johnny: I think so.
Roland: Because I don't wanna tell you how I respond to threats.
Johnny: And I don't wanna tell you how I respond to illegal political activity.
Roland: Okay, fine, then don't.
Johnny: Fine, I won't. Maybe.

Quote from David

Moira: Okay, stop. This is good. This is the first real money we've seen in a year.
Alexis: 'Kay, I think we definitely need to celebrate. Nothing big, just a little treat. Like a trip.
David: Okay. I can't believe that I'm the one to say this, but, um, shouldn't we be s- Shouldn't we be s-s-s... Should we be- Trying to sa- save this? Isn't- Shouldn't we be saving- Putting this in a bank? Isn't that what people do?

Quote from Moira

Moira: I was wondering if there's someone who's thinking, "Oh, this woman may not have many signs, but she has myriad qualities worth voting for. I must stop her!"
Johnny: So you think the signs were stolen?
Moira: Stolen? Ew! Is that what you think happened?
Johnny: Well, isn't that what you were implying?
Twyla: Who would do that?
Johnny: Well, I don't know. It's dirty pool. You can't sabotage someone's campaign and take their signs.
Moira: Please, please, everyone calm down! Well, I suppose if there's a silver lining in all this, it's that someone is imitated enough into thinking that I might be affecting this town's long-established voting patterns.

Quote from Johnny

David: I have a question.
Johnny: Yes, your cologne is too strong.
David: Okay, I just put it on and it needs to breathe a bit, so...

Quote from Johnny

David: I came in here to ask whether you knew anything about trademarking store names?
Johnny: Yeah. We had to deal with that from time to time at Rose Video.
David: Uh-huh. And did anyone ever ask you to stop using the name?
Johnny: No, but we went after other people for using it. I remember a-a "Rosie's Video" in Sao Paolo. That was a fun shakedown.

Quote from David

David: Yeah, I'm just thinking if it's a big chain and they want the name, surely you should be able to get more for it.
Johnny: Yeah, but is worth going to court to fight it?
David: Oh, I don't think Wendy can afford that. She can't even afford me anymore, so...
Johnny: Wait a minute. You were fired?
David: Technically, I would say I'm in a transition phase at the moment.

Quote from Moira

Moira: Look what's happened to us. These sign bandits have clearly created a culture of fear.

Quote from Moira

Jocelyn: I hope you know that I don't stand for dirty politics, Moira.
Moira: Oh no, you mustn't beat yourself up. You have your own signs to worry about. All two hundred of them.
Jocelyn: Well we're here to sing, aren't we? So let's sing!
Moira: Well said! Let us focus on tomorrow's show and not fan the flames of this provocative scandal any more than is necessary. Sing ladies if you can.

Quote from Alexis

Alexis: Hey. [gasps] What're you shopping for?
David: I'm not shopping.
Alexis: Okay, well, I'm seeing a lot of women's tops, so if there's a minimum amount for free shipping can let me know before you order?
