Marilu Henner: Elaine Nardo

Quotes 

• Louie De Palma : Hey, hey, ya wanna great tip? Here it is: Never pick up a cripple.

  Elaine O'Connor-Nardo : Louie! That is the rottenest thing I ever heard. Y'know, I'm not even gonna bother to tell you why, but first of all, you don't call them "cripples," you call them "handicapped persons."

  Louie De Palma : You're right. I'm embarrassed. Okay, John, forget what I said. The people you should never pick up are handicapped persons. The reason is in the time it takes you to help one of them in and out of your cab, you could pick up maybe ten guys who could get in and out all by themselves. So, no handicapped persons. Cabs are only for people who can walk.

  Alex Reiger : You have to forgive Louie, he's himself today.

• [last lines] 

  Tony Banta : Maybe I won't be the first guy to make it out of the garage, but I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna get a rematch with this guy, and I'm gonna be right back here fightin'!

  Alex Reiger : And I'm gonna be right back here managing you.

  Bobby Wheeler : And I'm gonna be right here rootin' for ya.

  Elaine O'Connor-Nardo : And I'm gonna be here.

  John Burns : And I'm gonna be here.

  Louie De Palma : And I'm gonna be here... makin' a fortune.
