Quote from Donna

Jerry Thunder: [on radio] This is Jerry Thunder comin' at you on The Sound. And we got Alice Cooper droppin' by any minute and it is going to be wild!
[fantasy:]
Jerry Thunder: This is Jerry Thunder. [thunderclap] Comin' your way on The Sound, where we are enjoying lots of sex, drugs and rock and roll. Am I right, Hot Donna?
Donna: You sure are, Jerry Thunder. Radio people are the coolest.
Jerry Thunder: That's right. That's why you want to have sex with us all.
Donna: I really do! Hey, everybody, it's Alice Cooper.
Alice Cooper: Hey, Hot Donna. Heard about you at the last big rock star meeting. Hey, Ted Nugent and I were wondering, did you ever break up with that loser boyfriend of yours?
Donna: Not yet, Alice Cooper. Here's my loser boyfriend right now.
Eric: Hey, Donna. Are you ready to go to the Price Mart ball?
Donna: You hear that, everybody? The Price Mart ball. [all laugh]
Alice Cooper: Hey, I got an idea. Why don't we feed your skinny boyfriend to the snake?
Donna: Okay.
[reality:]
Eric: [turns off radio] Damn you, Alice Cooper.

Quote from Red

Red: Kitty, about this burger-
Kitty: What? Is it burnt? Are you gonna fire me? Make me live on the street with the other hobos?
Red: Kitty, let it go. I do not feel guilty! All right, I feel guilty! [exits]
Kitty: He'll thank me when his tummy stops hurting. [laughs]

Quote from Kitty

Eric: Mom, I don't even know if we're okay. She's spending all of her time at The Sound with Jerry Thunder.
Kitty: That reminds me of when I first started at the hospital. Your father was concerned that I was spending way too much time down there with all these handsome doctors.
Eric: But, Mom, that's stupid. Doctors aren't important like deejays.
Kitty: Okay, well, the point is your dad started showing up at the hospital to mark his territory and one of the doctors, who was getting a little fresh, got punched in the mouth.
Eric: [laughs] Dad's so cool.
Kitty: No, that wasn't cool. It was embarrassing.
Eric: But you married him.
Kitty: Yes, but it was embarrassing.
Eric: Still, you married him.
Kitty: The point is, you have to trust Donna.
Eric: But Dad didn't trust you, and you married him.
Kitty: Okay, you know what? I can't talk to you.

Quote from Red

Red: Okay, I am here to withdraw my complaint about my overcooked burger.
Ricky: Uh-huh. Well, I don't think you can do that.
Red: Well, I think I can.
Ricky: Of course you can. The customer's always right.
Red: So, you'll give Earl his job back?
Ricky: Well, the fry cook burnt off his finger this morning so... sure. By the way, don't have the fish sticks. We haven't found it.
Red: You hear that, Earl? You got your job back. You can go to work.
Earl: Wait. You mean right now? But I'll miss WKRP.

Quote from Eric

Donna: Eric, what are you doing here?
Eric: I'll tell you what I'm doing here, Donna. I'm here to say who's who and what's what to Jerry Thunder.
Donna: Eric, you can't talk to Jerry. He's on the air.
Eric: Oh. Fine. Then I guess I'll just have to wait. But let me tell you something... I'll be fuming.
Jerry Thunder: This is Jerry Thunder. [thunderclap] Signing off. And I'll see you around The Sound.
Eric: All right, whoo! Let's get Mr. Big FM Stud out here right now! Yeah, big time!
Donna: Eric, why are you being weird?
Eric: Donna, I'm gonna make a long story short. I'm here to kick a little deejay ass, so have a seat.
Barry Donovan: Hey, Donna. And this must be the boyfriend, Eric. Hi, I'm Jerry Thunder.
Eric: You're Jerry Thunder? [giggling] Well, that's just great! Check out Jerry Thunder! [laughs]
Barry Donovan: Hey, you kids, the night is young. You guys up for a game of Dungeons & Dragons? I'll let you be Mandar, the half-elf. Oh, well. Another time, perhaps. Good night.

Quote from Donna

[circle:]
Barry Donovan: Okay, suddenly you're face to face with the Dragon of Fear.
Max: No! I should have worn my Gauntlet of Ogre Strength. Dumb! Any ideas, Mandar?
Alice Cooper: Well, there's my Rod of Cancellation, but it's chancy.
Max: Yeah. You know, a girl once promised to play with us, but she didn't show up.
Alice Cooper: Cheer up, King Zintar the Great. Let's get out there and slay that dragon.
