Mel Cooley : Well, well, what's bothering Smokey the Bore?

Buddy Sorrell : "Smokey the Boar" - hey, not bad for a self-taught incompetent.
Doug Wesley : [trying to explain Alan Brady's corporate picture] Rob, maybe I can demonstrate it better with the flowers.

Rob Petrie : The flowers?

Doug Wesley : [picking up a vase of fowers] Yeah. Now, this pot is Alan Brady.

Rob Petrie : Good casting.

Doug Wesley : All these flowers are his various enterprises.

Rob Petrie : He has that many flowers, huh?

Doug Wesley : Now this big, lusty, healthy blue flower - that's Ishimoru.

Rob Petrie : [taking the blue flower] Ishimoru... uh, uh - ptpt ptpt - motorcycles.

Doug Wesley : Right, right. Now, this sickly little green flower - that's Tam O'Shanter.

Rob Petrie : [taking the green flower] Tam O'Shanter, uh, coloring books.

Doug Wesley : Right.

Rob Petrie : Got that.

Doug Wesley : Now, this big pink flower - that's Brady Lady.

Rob Petrie : Brady Lady?

Doug Wesley : Brady Lady is owned by Alan's wife.

Rob Petrie : Alan's wife?

Doug Wesley : She pays the band.

Rob Petrie : Alan's wife pays the band?

Doug Wesley : Well, it's a perfectly legitimate loophole, Rob.

[Rob takes the pink flower as Mel enters and exits]

Mel Cooley : Wesley, would you check over these figures and get an answer back to me right away? I've been up here a thousand times: you never gave ME any flowers.
