## Man About the House [1.01]

    Janet Wood: [to Jack] Let's get one thing straight first. This is your room. That is our room. One false move and we take you right to the vet.
    Mr. Roper: Are you crazy, moving in with two girls? Not in my building, you don't!
    Jack Tripper: Wait a minute, it'd be strictly platonic.
    Mr. Roper: Well, I don't care what it is. [pause] What does that mean?
    Mrs. Roper: Like you and me, Stanley.
    Mr. Roper: Sorry to barge in on you again like this, but me and the wife are having a little disagreement about a certain matter of, uh... [coughs] sex.
    Chrissy Snow: You wanna borrow a book?

## And Mother Makes Four [1.02]

    Chrissy: You can't sit here while we get undressed.
    Jack: Oh, I'm sorry. Will the view be better if I stand? [hiccups]
    Janet: [shooing him out] Go cure your hiccups.
    Jack: Whatever happened to the sexual revolution?
    Chrissy: Your side lost.
    Jack: [about Chrissy] Everywhere you look, she's a girl.
    Janet: What am I, a gorilla?
    Jack: No, no. You're very... bright.
    Janet: Oh. More like a chimp?

## Roper's Niece [1.03]

    Mrs. Roper: Stanley, will you stop that pacing and come to bed?
    Mr. Roper: I'm not sleepy.
    Mrs. Roper: [amorously] That's the best time to come to bed.
    Janet: You know, Chrissy, there was something about that Karen that I didn't like.
    Chrissy: She's a very beautiful girl.
    Janet: That was it.

## No Children, No Dogs [1.04]

    Chrissy: [after leaving the puppy at with Mrs. Roper] Well, she has a parakeet, and I figure anyone that loves parakeets must love dogs.
    Jack: What about Mr. Roper?
    Chrissy: Well, I guess she loves him too, otherwise she would have left him a long time ago.
    Janet: Now, Chrissy, what's making you walk in your sleep this time? Chrissy, what's bothering you? What... Chrissy! What?
    Chrissy: Oh, it must be Mr. Rogers. His secretary's out sick and I'm substituting for her this week.
    Janet: Oh, is he giving you a rough time?
    Chrissy: Oh, I just can't keep up with him!
    Janet: He dictates too fast?
    Chrissy: It's not his dictation, it's his hands. The girls in the office call him Christopher Columbus.
    Janet: What?
    Chrissy: The explorer.

## Jack the Giant Killer [1.05]

    Chrissy: You know, Jack did the right thing. Fighting is uncivilized. You know, if women ran the world, there'd be none of these stupid wars.
    Mr. Roper: Yeah, all the countries would nag each other to death.
    Janet: Hey, how come we get the Sunday paper delivered? We don't have a subscription.
    Chrissy: Oh, I don't know, I heard it land on the front balcony this morning, so I went out and got it. Ah, you know, that paper boy was so thoughtful, he waited for me to bend over and pick it up before he rode away.

## It's Only Money [1.06]

    Chrissy: What are we gonna do about the rent? We can't go on avoiding Roper forever.
    Janet: What about that boss of yours? The one that's always chasing you around. Think you can get an advance out of him?
    Chrissy: Only if I let him catch me.
    Mr. Roper: We all make mistakes.
    Mrs. Roper: Don't put yourself down, Stanley; you do it better than anyone.
