Joyce DeWitt: Janet Wood

Quotes 

• Chrissy Snow : [threw away the day's mail]  What do you want me to do about it? Go down to the city dump and dig up ten blocks of trash?

  Jack Tripper : [considers her offer]  No, that would take too long.

  [exasperated, slams his hand into his fist] 

  Janet Wood : Jack, couldn't the Government just rush out a duplicate check?

  Jack Tripper : The Government *rush*?

  [cynical laugh] 

• Janet Wood : You can't go through with this!

  Jack Tripper : Why not? She seems very anxious to get right to work and make something.

  Janet Wood : I understood what Mrs. Bustamente was saying, and the only thing that she wants to make is *you*!

  Jack Tripper : Oh, come on!

  [full implications dawn upon him] 

  Jack Tripper : What?

• Jack Tripper : Yeah, Janet, she's a married woman, and her husband's a real tough cookie. Are you sure she was talking about getting it on with me?

  Janet Wood : Jack, you don't have to understand Italian to know what that lady was saying. I mean, she was shouting it in body language.

  Chrissy Snow : I thought she was getting a little worked up to be thinking of macaroni.

  Jack Tripper : Okay, okay, you girls are gonna have to help me. If you hear anything that sounds like I'm in trouble in that kitchen, you come in fast, okay?

  Janet Wood : But, Jack, you know I have to get back to the flower shop.

  Jack Tripper : I know. But, Janet, please... I need you!

  Janet Wood : Jack, I'm sorry, but this is my job we're talking about!

  [rushes off] 

  Janet Wood : I'm gonna be late!

  [on her way out] 

  Jack Tripper : I need some help!

  Janet Wood : Bye!

  [door slams] 

  Jack Tripper : [no other way out]  Chrissy... Chrissy... Look, will you help me, and - and not leave me alone with her?

  Chrissy Snow : You want me to protect your honor?

  [goofy laugh] 

  Jack Tripper : Chrissy! I'm serious!
