Quotes 

• [after Buddy sends off the Chinese acrobats] 

  Roz Russell : Hey, Buddy. I didn't know you spoke Chinese.

  Buddy Ryan : [surprised]  Was that Chinese? Wow! You know, that would explain that picture of me bowling with Chiang Kai-Shek!

• Buddy Ryan : Mac, I got your message, what's up?

  Mac Robinson : Well we're having a surprise party for Harry.

  Buddy Ryan : That's funny, he didn't mention it.

• Buddy Ryan : [Coming up with a way to stall Harry]  Oh I Know! Get him to sing a Billion Bottles of Beer on the Wall. It's a heck lot of fun; although it did cost me to miss the entire Ford Administration.

• Mac Robinson : [Reading Mel Torme's comment in the Newspaper]  He followed that with a confusing remark about Strangling a Judge.

  Judge Harry T. Stone : [Everyone turns to look at Harry]  He just said A Judge, that doesn't necessarily Mean Me.

  Buddy Ryan : [Responding without contempt or meanness]  Don't sell yourself short Son, I'm SURE he meant you.
