Security Officer : I'm sorry, but you're not on the guest list.
David Addison : That's because we're not guests. We're looking for a man with a mole on his nose.
Security Officer : A mole on his nose?
Maddie Hayes : A mole on his nose.
Security Officer : [to Maddie] What kind of clothes?
Maddie Hayes : [to David] What kind of clothes?
David Addison : What kind of clothes do you suppose?
Security Officer : What kind of clothes do I suppose would be worn by a man with a mole on his nose? Who knows?
David Addison : Did I happen to mention, did I bother to disclose, that this man that we're seeking with the mole on his nose? I'm not sure of his clothes or anything else, except he's Chinese, a big clue by itself.
Maddie Hayes : How do you do that?
David Addison : Gotta read a lot of Dr. Seuss.
Security Officer : I'm sorry to say, I'm sad to report, I haven't seen anyone at all of that sort. Not a man who's Chinese with a mole on his nose with some kind of clothes that you can't suppose. So get away from this door and get out of this place, or I'll have to hurt you - put my foot in your face.

David Addison : Excuse me?
Maddie Hayes : An idea. You know, an original thought. You've heard of them. Anyway, I was just lying in my bed last night, just lying there, feeling terrible about telling that poor man that he couldn't write Mrs. Woodley anymore, when suddenly, BA-BING! I get this idea...
David Addison : Ba-what?
Maddie Hayes : Huh?
David Addison : Ba-what? I thought I just heard you say ba-bing.
Maddie Hayes : Ba-bing? So what if I did say ba-bing? So what? Anyway, David, I suddenly realized - why are you looking at me like that?
David Addison : Huh?
Maddie Hayes : Why are you looking at me like that?
David Addison : You're doing me.
Maddie Hayes : I'm WHAT?
David Addison : You're doing me, Maddie. You come in here, you slam the door, you say ba-bing, you sit on the corner of that desk - I know what I'm talking about, Maddie Hayes. This is not just some idea I plucked out of my head willy-nilly - now I'm doing you!
Maddie Hayes : David! Are you all right?
David Addison : Trust me Maddie, we are doing this backwards. Let's just go to your office and start all over.
