- Arthur Carlson Jr.: [Les pays Arthur Carlson Jr. to learn what Mother Carlson says about him after Herb learns she calls him addle-minded] She says that *you're* obtuse.
- Les Nessman: [excitedly and happily] Ooo.
- Herb Tarlek: [reading the dictionary trying to find addle-minded] Adultery... Admire...
- Les Nessman: [taking the dictionary away from Herb] Let me see that. Obtuse...
- Herb Tarlek: [snatching the dictionary back from Les] Addle-minded!
- Les Nessman: [snatching back the dictionary] Obtuse!
- Herb Tarlek: [Herb attempts to snatch the dictionary, but Les slams Herb's hand in the book] Addle-ow!
- Bailey Quarters: [entering] Hi, guys.
- Herb Tarlek: Oh, hi, Bailey. Met Carlson's son?
- Bailey Quarters: Uh, yes. I've had the pleasure.
- Herb Tarlek: Well, he's quite a kid. Let me tell ya.
- Herb Tarlek: [under his breath to Arthur Carlson, Jr] Tell your dad I said that.
- Les Nessman: [excitedly until he gets to the last word of the definition] Obtuse! According to Websters, "exceeding ninety degrees but less than one-hundred eighty degrees; lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility; rounded at the free end; dull". That's an insult!
- Bailey Quarters: Les, take it easy.
- Les Nessman: Take it easy?
- Herb Tarlek: Just calm down, okay?
- Les Nessman: Don't tell me to calm down. I just paid five dollars to find out I'm rounded at the free end!
- Bailey Quarters: Cool off, Les.
- Herb Tarlek: He's just mad because he's not addle-minded.
- Les Nessman: I am too.
- Herb Tarlek: No. You're not.
- Les Nessman: [Herb and Les start hitting each other] Yes. I am.
- Herb Tarlek: No. You're not.
- Les Nessman: Yes. I am!
- Herb Tarlek: You're not!
- Bailey Quarters: You guys! You are both addle-minded!
- Les Nessman: [sincerely] Thank you, Bailey.
- Arthur Carlson Jr.: [adamantly to Venus] You're black!
- Venus Flytrap: [feigning shock and fear] I am? Ah, ah...
- Arthur Carlson Jr.: We didn't have any blacks at Prussian Valley! C'mon Andy.
- Venus Flytrap: [calling after Andy and Arthur Jr. as they walk away] Oh yeah? Ain't no blacks *dumb* enough to go to a place called Prussian Valley!
- Venus Flytrap: [turning to Johnny after Andy and Arthur Jr. have left] Hey man, how come you didn't tell me I was black?
- Herb Tarlek: [to Andy about Venus as Andy tries to find out what happened between Venus and Arthur Carlson, Jr. from the bullpen staff] Well first of all, he's not supposed to be picking on little white kids!
- Venus Flytrap: [lunging at Herb] How about *big* white kids, man?
- Jennifer Marlowe: [sternly about Arthur Carlson, Jr] Mr. Carlson, is this child going to remain in this office?
- Arthur Carlson: Well, probably for the next two, three days.
- Jennifer Marlowe: [sternly] Then he had better learn to behave himself.
- Arthur Carlson: Oh, what'd he do?
- Bailey Quarters: Uh, he got into Jennifer's drawers.
- Arthur Carlson: Andy, uh, Little Arthur's gonna be working around here for a little while, so find him a vital, yet... otherwise meaningless job.
