Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  [with Johnny in the control booth with him, Les is delivering one of his commentaries on the air] 

  Les Nessman : And so, the delicate balance of the ecology is about to be upset again. And that which we have always taken for granted may no longer be. I refer of course to the lowly rutabaga. Experts predict that within this century, the rutabaga will disappear from the national diet. And why you ask?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [emphatically]  Why?

  Les Nessman : Consumer disinterest, apathy, and in some cases, believe it or not, open contempt.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [emphatically]  No!

  Les Nessman : And how did we arrive at this pretty pass?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Tell us, Les.

  Les Nessman : There is no swede for my gloves off, no holds barred commentary. Rutabaga: the vanishing vegetable.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [grabbing his face in mock horror before raising his arms to God then grabbing Les in passion]  Say Hallelujah, brother! I believe!

  Les Nessman : Hallelujah!
