Quote from Jackie

Christine St. George: Now, before we go, I'd like to introduce the newest family member of What's Up Wisconsin. She's my assistant. She's Jackie Burkhart. Come on, honey. Come on in here.
Jackie: Oh, my God, I'm on TV. Well, for all of you watching in black and white, I am wearing a navy twin set, and my eye shadow is periwinkle blue.

Quote from Kitty

Kitty: Holy macaroni! It's Jackie! I know someone who's on TV!
Red: What do you know! It really is an idiot box.
Christine St. George: [on TV] Jackie brings me the most delicious brownies.
Kitty: Brownies. Red, those are my brownies. Oh, they look so much bigger on TV.
Christine St. George: So moist, you don't even have to drink milk with them.
Kitty: No milk! That is the highest compliment a brownie can have.
Christine St. George: Now, Jackie darling, I must know where you got them.
Kitty: From me! She got them from me!
Jackie: [on TV] Got them? I made them. Myself.
Kitty: What?
Jackie: It's an old Burkhart family recipe.
Kitty: You lying little midget!
Red: This might be a bad time to ask, but are you gonna start getting lunch together?

Quote from Kitty

Jackie: Whoa! Mrs. Forman, you gotta help me. I need another batch of brownies and I need them bad.
Kitty: Okay. First, preheat the oven to 350, then stick your head inside and bake the lies out of your lying mouth, you little liar!
Jackie: Please, it's the only thing that keeps Christine off my back. I'm gonna lose my job. Please, you've gotta help me. [whines] Please.
Kitty: Oh, that is so fake.
Jackie: [normal voice] Oh, damn. Fine. I'm sorry. Look, Christine caught me off guard. I was on TV. I didn't know what to say.
Kitty: How about Kitty Forman baked the brownies? See how easy that was? I can even say it backwards. Brownies the baked Forman Kitty.
Jackie: Okay, okay, you're right. But now I'm in too deep, so I am begging you. Please, could you just make some more brownies?
Kitty: Drop it, Jackie. I am not gonna let you continue to take credit for all of my hard work.
Jackie: What if I take you to the studio and introduce you to Christine St. George?
Kitty: I'll get the eggs. You grease the pan.

Quote from Hyde

Donna: Hyde, I thought you said Leo was supposed to be here today.
Hyde: Yeah. I put him on the schedule, which means he is either on his way in, or on his way to San Francisco to see the Dead show.

Quote from Kitty

Christine St. George: Join us tomorrow as we examine the pain suffered by a local family from religious prejudice. And Sparky, the water-skiing squirrel, will be here too. Until then, What's Up Wisconsin?
Jackie: Oh, Miss St. George, that was a great show.
Christine St. George: Oh, thank you.
Jackie: Um, you know what? I would love for you to meet one of your biggest fans. Uh, this is Kitty Forman.
Christine St. George: Hello.
Jackie: Christine.
Kitty: Oh, it is such an honor to meet you. [laughs] You look so much taller in person. Of course, we only have a 19-inch TV set. [laughs]
Jackie: Okay. I also brought you some brownies.
Christine St. George: Oh, isn't that wonderful of her? You know, Jackie, I was thinking that on tomorrow's show you and I might make these brownies. You know, you'd stir the eggs and I'd come up with some funny yolks.
Kitty: A cooking segment? Oh, that is just... That is just my dream come true. For you.

Quote from Kitty

Jackie: Oh, Miss St. George, I have to tell you something. I didn't bake the brownies. Kitty did.
Christine St. George: Who's Kitty, dear?
Kitty: Um, that's me.
Christine St. George: Oh. Well, good for you. [Kitty giggles] Would you, uh, give me just a moment with my assistant?
Kitty: Oh, of course.
Christine St. George: Thank you.
Kitty: Okay, would it be okay if I just sat in your chair for a minute?
Christine St. George: Oh sure. My fake casa is your fake casa.

Quote from Jackie

Jackie: Okay, Miss St. George, I'm really sorry.
Christine St. George: No. What you showed me just now proves that you are a sweet, honest, young woman. And that crap will get you nowhere in show business.
Jackie: So what? I'm supposed to lie and cheat and take credit for other people's work?
Christine St. George: That's how I paid for my Mercedes. You can't be afraid to be tough.
Jackie: Oh, I'm tough. I'm very, very tough. People always say what a bitch I am.
Christine St. George: Well, for your sake, I hope they're right. Now, please. Get this crazy lady off my set.
Kitty: Coming up next, a potato chip that looks like Henry Kissinger. [hums]
Christine St. George: See if you can find that potato chip. It sounds fascinating.

Quote from Kitty

Christine St. George: [on TV] Before we bring on the tap-dancing parrot, I have a correction to make from yesterday's show.
Kitty: Red. She's gonna say my name. Are you taping it? Do you know how to use the machine?
Red: Yes, I know how to use the machine.
Christine St. George: Those brownies I so enjoyed were made by the talented and lovely Kitty Forshack.
Kitty: Forshack?
Christine St. George: No, no, that doesn't sound right. Ah! Forman. Kathy Forman.

Quote from Donna

Jackie: Uh, Mrs. Forman, can I borrow your curling iron? I was gonna borrow Donna's, but hers smells like potatoes.
Donna: It wasn't my fault. My dad used it to make curly fries.

Quote from Hyde

Jackie: Well, I wanna look good for my first full day of work at the TV station. I wanna look super pretty, so that co-workers won't mind when I stab them in the back.
Hyde: You could try my hair-styling technique. Wake up, remove pillow.
