Dave Foley: Dave Nelson

Quotes 

• Beth : [walks into Dave's office]  What was that?

  Dave Nelson : What was what?

  Beth : That incredibly awkward moment with Lisa at the coffee machine.

  Dave Nelson : [touching and moving his necktie]  Look Beth, I have no idea what you're talking about.

  Beth : Dave you know that I can tell when you're lying. There's a thing you always do.

  Dave Nelson : Oh really? and what is the thing I always do when I'm lying?

  Dave Nelson : [Beth chews her gum more and Dave responds by continuing to move his tie]  Oh come on Beth, there's absolutely nothing going on

  [then realizes he's moving his tie] 

  Dave Nelson : This is it, isn't it? this is the thing!

  [Beth nods] 

• [Matthew does a story on Joey Buttafuco] 

  Beth : Matthew, I think you mispronounced that guy's name a few times.

  Matthew Brock : What, it's uh, Joey Buttafu...

  Dave Nelson : No it isn't, Matthew! It's, uh, Buttafuoco. Butta-foo-co.

  Matthew Brock : What did I say?

  Dave Nelson : Well, Matthew, of all the possible mispronunciations of that name, you seem to have stumbled upon absolutely the worst one.

• Lisa Miller : If you don't want my input, just say so.

  Dave Nelson : I don't want your input.

  Lisa Miller : Too bad.

  Dave Nelson : Especially when it's another three-hour lecture on the legal rights of a known sleazebag.

  Lisa Miller : Well, what if Mister Buttafuoco sues us?

  Dave Nelson : For what, defamation of character? Like we could help him with that.

• Beth : Why don't you and Lisa just bury the hatchet?

  Dave Nelson : I'd love to, but apparently Lisa thinks she should have my job.

  Beth : Oh, I get it. So, when a woman is ambitious she's pushy, but when a man is ambitious...

  Dave Nelson : Oh, Beth, don't go into that.

  Beth : Yeah, you're right. I was actually starting to make myself a little sick.

• [to Dave and Lisa] 

  Bill McNeal : Hey, you two.

  Dave Nelson : [Startled]  What do you mean, "hey, us two"?

  Bill McNeal : Well, I'll count again, but I think I'll get the same result.

• Bill McNeal : I'm taking the entire staff out to lunch in honor of Catherine's birthday yesterday.

  Dave Nelson : Oh, is Catherine going?

  Bill McNeal : No, but it's the thought that counts.
