• Clerk : And it seems that there's been a mistake on your bill.

  Lou Grant : How can that be? I'm just now checking in.

  Clerk : I don't know. But it says here that a waiter overcharged you five dollars on your bar bill this noon. We've given you a credit.

  Lou Grant : I wasn't here this noon.

  Clerk : Oh? Isn't this your signature?

  Lou Grant : No. It's my name, but it's not my signature.

  Clerk : Oh, how embarrassing.

• Jack Riley : Now, now, Lou, let's try to be fair and just here.

  Lou Grant : If we wanted to be fair and just here, Jack, the cops would've arrested you.

  Jack Riley : Yeah, well, let's just remember who was right about that waiter, Lou, you heard it here first.

  Lou Grant : Yeah, big deal, once in twenty years you're on the level.

  Jack Riley : You know, you wound me when you talk that way.

• Charlie Hume : How can I relax? Not only might there be a kidnapping tonight, but I haven't been able to line up a speaker. I mean, what, what's everybody gonna say when I get up there tonight and say "Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, we haven't got a closing speaker".

  Lou Grant : They'll probably give you a standing ovation.

  Charlie Hume : Oh.

  Lou Grant : Maybe even carry you out of the room on their shoulders.
