- Fireman John Gage: How long have you been a journalist, Christy?
- Christy Todd: Two years. Since college.
- Fireman John Gage: Oh.
- [Clears throat]
- Fireman John Gage: Well, have you ever written about anything as dangerous as this?
- Christy Todd: Tell me, what is so dangerous about your job?
- Fireman John Gage: You're kidding.
- Christy Todd: No.
- Fireman John Gage: Well, what have you covered that's more risky than fighting fires?
- Christy Todd: Interviewing guys like you.
- [first lines]
- Fireman John Gage: With our luck, we're probably gonna have to drive him around.
- Fireman Roy DeSoto: Now look. Don't complain. Any publicity this program can get is valuable.
- Fireman John Gage: Yeah. We have enough to do on our runs without to playing host to some newspaper guy.
- Fireman Roy DeSoto: You know, Johnny, if you would stop riding her maybe she would write something nice. Now I - I think she's very talented.
- Fireman John Gage: You want to fight a fire with her?
- Fireman Kelly: Roy, Gage is right. She's about as talented as a tapeworm.
- Fireman Roy DeSoto: Well she's just going through a stage. She's young.
- Fireman John Gage: Oh yeah. Young. I know.
- [Baby talk]
- Fireman John Gage: She's just a little baby.
- [Normal voice]
- Fireman John Gage: She's a baby barracuda.
- Christy Todd: "Baby barracuda," huh?
- Fireman John Gage: A baby barracuda eavesdropper.
- Christy Todd: We use what weapons we have, Johnny Baby.
- Fireman John Gage: [Muttering] "Johnny Baby."
- Fireman John Gage: Give these chicks an inch and they'll take over. How would you like to live with a dinosaur like that? You know what she sounded like? She sounded like some wom...
- Christy Todd: Hey, Gage... You know what you sound like? You sound like every man I've ever known. Arrogant, conceited, chauvinistic, misogynistic...
- Fireman John Gage: Wait a minute. Come again on that last one.
- Fireman Roy DeSoto: It means woman-hater.
- Fireman John Gage: Oh, yeah? What a great word. "Misogynistic." That's a great word.
- Christy Todd: You really like being a jerk, don't you?
- Fireman John Gage: I like being a man, if that's what you mean.
- Capt. Stanley: Uh, where is she?
- Fireman John Gage: Well, if she was a normal type girl she'd be out powdering her nose, but I think I saw her arguing with a brick wall... and she's winning.
