- Jennifer Marlowe: [having just entered the bullpen] Herb.
- Herb Tarlek: Yeah, gorgeous?
- Jennifer Marlowe: Your father is in the lobby.
- Herb Tarlek: [looking up at Jennifer in surprise] What?
- Jennifer Marlowe: Your dad is in the lobby.
- Herb Tarlek: [laughing sarcastically] Get out of here.
- Jennifer Marlowe: All right. Then there's a man in the lobby with perfect teeth claiming to be your father.
- Andy Travis: [interjecting after overhearing the conversation] Why would somebody want to do that?
- Herb Tarlek: [wants his dad out of the way] Could we go someplace and have a cup of coffee?
- Herb Tarlek, Sr.: [sees attractive, shy Bailey] Sure, just a minute. Say, uh... who's this?
- Herb Tarlek: That's Bailey Quarters.
- Herb Tarlek, Sr.: Bailey Quarters. I should have known. You know, my son speaks about you all the time.
- Bailey Quarters: [looks at Herb Junior in surprise] He does?
- Herb Tarlek, Sr.: No, he doesn't. But he should. You know, my son is a bit of a jerk.
- [chuckles merrily]
- Herb Tarlek: Dad!
- Herb Tarlek, Sr.: 'Course I like Jennifer. Hot dog! Not as well as I'd like to, but... well, that's life. I only wish I was a little bit younger.
- Jennifer Marlowe: Oh, no, no, no. You're not old, Mr. Tarlek.
- Herb Tarlek, Sr.: Oh, boy, that's kind of you to say. Perhaps we could have, uh, a talk sometime. Maybe a little drink, you know. Maybe we could live together. Become a casual relationship.
