Quote from The Telling

Mr. Ehlert: All right, listen up, space-wasters. In case you're not clear on this, this is not a parking lot. You can actually sell those cars out there. And don't whine to me about the economy. My wife's paint-huffing brother just got a job, so it's back. Now I want to hear some ideas. Pete? Nothing. Bob. Nothing. Fish-Face. Nothing!
Pete: Sir, that- That was a customer.
Frankie: You know, the Indy 500 is coming up. What if we had a radio station broadcast live from the lot and tied it in with the race? [Pete socffs]
Mr. Ehlert: Hmm. Interesting. Pete, you want to repeat that in a man's voice so I can see if I like it?
Bob: I can do it, sir.
Mr. Ehlert: I said, "a man's voice." You know what? Forget it. I love the idea. The Indy 500. We go live on the radio and promise to sell 500 cars in 5 days, and if it doesn't work, it's your fault.
Frankie: But-
Mr. Ehlert: "But" nothing! Now somebody go sell Fish-Face a car.

Quote from The 100th

Brick: Excuse me, Mr. Ehlert, there seems to be some kind of mistake. I mean, "Orson: why not?" What about "The heartland's hidden gem"?
Mr. Ehlert: We didn't get it.
Brick: But I turned it in the day-
Mr. Ehlert: No, no, we received it. We just didn't get it. "Why not?" Now, that's snappy. It's like, "Got milk?"
Brick: This is an outrage. That is an inferior motto. And nobody said we could use punctuation.
Mr. Ehlert: Forget it, son. We're moving on to the pie contest.
Brick: But it's-
Mr. Ehlert: It's done! You lost. Get over it. Now, I've got 35 pies to taste, so unless you're a pie, get out of my face.

Quote from A Quarry Story

Frankie: So, it's been a while, huh? How you doing, Mr. Ehlert?
Mr. Ehlert: I had a mole the size of Texas frozen off my back, and I'm sitting on a hemorrhoid pillow. How do you think I'm doing?!
Frankie: [chuckles] Well, you look great.
Mr. Ehlert: Down, girl. I'm a married man.

Quote from The Cheerleader

Mr. Ehlert: So how's it going out here?
Bob: Oh, Mr. Ehlert, sir, hard at work. It may look like fun, but it's work, work, work.
Mr. Ehlert: You did good, Frances. Since this was your idea, my commission on the first sale of the day goes to you.
Frankie: You're kidding. Oh, Mr. Ehlert, you don't how much this means to me. My daughter, Sue, needs glasses and our dryer...
Mr. Ehlert: Already stopped listening.

Frankie: Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Mr. Ehlert: Let me give you the back-story on this guy. [puts feet up] About 10 years ago...

Mr. Ehlert: [into microphone] So come on down to Ehlert's before all the deals go racing away!
Bob: [imitates a race car]
Mr. Ehlert: I'm sorry. Did I ask for an impression of the world's loneliest cat?
