Quotes 

• Joe Merkel : Let's not kid ourselves, Lisa. We'll be the laugh of the century after the headlines come out: Abner Peacock - Leader of the Sex Revolution is a Virgin.

  Osborn Tremaine : A virgin?

  Evelyn Tremaine : That's the dirtiest thing I ever heard in my life!

• Joe Merkel : I hope you didn't overdo it. The country may not be ready for a sex symbol like Abner Peacock.

  Lisa LaMonica : I'll make it ready.

• Lisa LaMonica : That does it. She's fired.

  Joe Merkel : She was just whispering in his ear.

  Lisa LaMonica : She was nuzzling his ear. They're under orders never to touch him. She's fired!

• Lisa LaMonica : That settles it! This business of all of them living up there with him, that is out!

  Joe Merkel : What are you Lisa? His Den Mother?

• Lisa LaMonica : Who the hell knows what they've been doing up there every night.

  Joe Merkel : I know. He's been teaching them bird calls.

• Lisa LaMonica : I know what he is. He's a little nobody! The kind my grandmother always warned me against. While your busy fighting off all those big sexy brutes, it's always the little nobodies who slip right in and nail you, every time.

  Joe Merkel : He's not for you Lisa.

  Lisa LaMonica : Well, of course he isn't for me! He's just a little insignificant small town square - the kind my mother was lucky enough to marry.

• Lisa LaMonica : Where the hell have you been?

  Joe Merkel : Where I am everyday, hiring new Pussycats to replace the ones you keep firing.
