• Lou Grant : [after Ted took advantage of Lou once too often]  You've got just twenty seconds to take down those pictures while your face still resembles them!

• Lou Grant : [Upon learning that he apparently injured Baxter when he literally threw the anchorman out of the studio]  Ted, I'm so sorry.

  Ted Baxter : It's not your fault, Lou. It happened after you threw me: I skidded into the cigarette machine.

  Murray Slaughter : Well, they told you it was hazardous to your health.

• Mary Richards : What happened in there?

  Lou Grant : I just threw Ted out of the studio.

  Murray Slaughter : Threw him out? You mean you fired him?

  Lou Grant : No, I grabbed him and threw him through the door.

  Mary Richards : Mr. Grant! How could you do that?

  Lou Grant : I know, I feel terrible. With just the slightest change in trajectory I could thrown him out the window.

• Lou Grant : Who messed with the thermostat?

  Murray Slaughter : I did, Lou; I thought turning it down to 85 would be a nice conservation effort.

  Lou Grant : You mustn't turn down the thermostat, Murray! Ted should be in a warm place.

  Murray Slaughter : Some day, if there's any justice..

• Ted Baxter : I want to do a three minute opinion piece on the important issues of the day, like Eric Sevareid.

  Lou Grant : [Sceptically]  Sevareid?

  Ted Baxter : Yeah, except when I do it, you'll be able to UNDERSTAND it!

• Lou Grant : And the best part os, I did it all without laying a hand on him.

  Mary Richards : See, you were able to convey your feelings to Ted without resorting to violence - now don't you feel better?

  Lou Grant : Yeah, yeah, I do... Uh, Mary, can you do me a favor? Could you call building maintenance and tell them I need a new door?

  Mary Richards : [Looking at his office door]  What's wrong with THIS door?

  Lou Grant : As soon as you leave, I'm gonna put my fist through it!
