• Ted Baxter : [Lou, Murray, and Ted are interrupting Mary's bath]  Wait a minute. I wanna read Mary my speech. Murray...

  [drops his glasses in the tub with Mary] 

  Mary Richards : Don't... you... daaarrre!

  Ted Baxter : Relax Mary, this'll only take an hour.

  Mary Richards : AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!

• Mary Richards : Mr Grant, I am taking a bath. Naked!

  Lou Grant : Naked?

  Mary Richards : Yes. Many people bathe that way.

• Lou Grant : Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I came over here because I was worried about you!

  Mary Richards : Yes, I realize that... ..

  Lou Grant : Worried to death! You think I care that you're in the bathtub?

  Mary Richards : Obviously not!

  Lou Grant : You think that's why I came? I was at home with my shoes off, having a beer. Nice and comfortable. You imagine I suddenly said to myself 'Hey. Why don't I go over and see if I can cop a peek at Mary?'!

• Ted Baxter : [Murray can't insult Ted in return for a speech to Murray's daughter's class]  Morning, Mary. Well, I'd love to make idle chit chat with you two but I have to memorize my address.

  Mary Richards : Oh, good. Then maybe you can memorize your phone number.

  Ted Baxter : You better not be laughing, Murray!

  [walks away] 

  Murray Slaughter : Thanks.

  Mary Richards : Well, listen, someone's gotta do it.
