UHF (1989)

John Paragon: Richard Fletcher

Quotes 

• R.J. Fletcher : This is indeed a sad day for Channel 8. We've been number one in this town for the past ten years. And now, our sponsors are pulling their accounts. We're losing valuable advertising revenue. We're losing credibility in the market. And why? Because of some fly-by-night UHF station! A UHF station! This is an embarrassment! A disgrace! What do you think R.J. Fletcher Senior would be saying if he were alive today?

  Richard Fletcher : [mockingly]  "Help me out of this box, I can't breathe in here. Help, let me out."

  R.J. Fletcher : [shoots Richard a dirty look]  We've got to do something. We've got to do it fast. Who owns that station, anyway?

• R.J. Fletcher : You idiot! Can't you do anything I tell you to do? Does this look like a number two pencil?

  Richard Fletcher : No... but... I just thought...

  R.J. Fletcher : You thought? I don't pay you to think!

  Richard Fletcher : But Dad...

  R.J. Fletcher : SHUT UP!
