• Dr. Johnny Fever : Jennifer, how'd you like to join a union?

  Jennifer Marlowe : Are you kidding?

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [shaking his head]  No.

  Jennifer Marlowe : Johnny, I already belong to a union. It's a quasi-religious group called The International Sisterhood of Blonde Receptionists. There are only twelve members in the world. We meet once every two years in Switzerland. If I told you our minimum salary, you'd have a heart attack and die. Bye.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [as song finishes, has record album sleeve dangling from his mouth]  Pat Benatar from her new album, a tune called Promises in the Dark. And I guess we've all heard those, right, babies? And, uh, this is the Doctor, but I do deliver here on WKRP where it is time for me to remind you that... WKRP, with your generous help and support, has now climbed to the tenth place in the Cincinatti market. If I sound emotional about all this, it's because I can still hear my father saying, "Son, no matter what you decide to do in this life, always try to come in tenth." I think we've done it here, Dad.

• Andy Travis : [about getting Mr. Carlson to give the staff raises due to the ratings increase]  Well, these things take time.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Spoken like a true, crypto-fascist, puppet of the managerial elite. Travis, I don't know how you can look at yourself in the mirror.

  Andy Travis : Well, I *like* looking at myself in the mirror.
