Quotes 

• Richard Benjamin : I would stand there, and then I'd come out of these shadows, and in the most polite way I could possibly say, "I don't think that frying pan is real clean."

  Johnny Carson : Ah.

  Richard Benjamin : And she would say something like, "Uh - uh, well, since you're going to be wearing it in a minute..."

  Johnny Carson : Why don't you...

  Richard Benjamin : It doesn't matter how clean it is.

• Johnny Carson : Do you use coupons and all that? Or look for the specials?

  Richard Benjamin : I do use some coupons, yes. Yes. I have a Sanka coupon right now that's worth forty cents.

  Johnny Carson : [after audience laughing and cheering]  ... Will - will you marry me? This is the one I've been lookin' for all my life! We're talkin' clean and neat. Well...

  Richard Benjamin : You'll be very happy with me.

  Johnny Carson : ...Thank you. As long as we can communicate - that's the main thing.
