Quotes 

• Abel, the Cable Guy : [the TV goes out at a crucial point in her soaps, so she calls the repairman]  Hi. I'm Abel, with the cable.

  Janet : [almost overwhelmed by his studliness]  I'm sure you are. Ah-hah. I mean, Hi! Come in. I'm glad you're here, 'cause "Tomorrow" starts in an hour.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : What?

  Janet : My story... "There's Always Tomorrow". It's a soap opera.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : [seeming to pick up on her attraction to him, he delivers seductively]  So where do you want it?

  Janet : Huh?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Your box.

  Janet : Excuse me?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : The cable box. Where do you want it?

  Janet : Well, I need it more than once. I mean, I need it in different rooms. I mean, can you do it in the bedroom, too?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : No problem.

  Janet : Great. Heh. Great. Ehhh, will it take long?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Nah. I run a line in from the street, do the first installation, bing, bang, boom. The second one usually takes longer. But it's more fun, if you know what I mean.

  Janet : Uh-huh.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : [he picks up two ends of cable]  Now. Male... into female.

  Janet : Input...

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Output. Finished. You're all hooked up.

  Janet : Y'got... quite a tool there. It's huge.

  Abel, the Cable Guy : It's not the size of the tool, ma'am. It's how you use it.

  Janet : You certainly know how to use it. How many installations have you done in one day?

  Abel, the Cable Guy : Fifteen. My Phillips did so much screwing, I thought the tip would fall off.

  Janet : [in a whisper]  Oh, God.
