Benson (Clayton has decided to sue Benson for slander. In court he acts as his own counsel; Benson does likewise. Clayton prepares to call Miss Kraus to the stand. She has been rehearsing for her upcoming role as emcee for a local function and has been learning some jokes.)
Clayton: I call to the stand the lovely Ms. Gretchen Kraus!
Benson: Your Honor, I object! Counsel is deluding the witness!
Judge: Objection overruled. The court calls Gretchen Kraus.
Kraus: But my line is always busy!
Benson: Your line isn’t even connected!

Captain Stanley: What’s the title of that book, Kelly?
Johnny: How to Survive on No Meals a Day.

Magnum, P. I. (Higgins is standing just inside the door to Magnum’s cottage with The Lads (the Dobermans Apollo and Zeus), arguing with Magnum. Magnum makes an angry remark to Higgins.)
(The Lads growl.)
Magnum: And that goes for you, too! (The Lads whimper.)
