Favorite lines from TV

Do you have a favorite line from some old TV program? I do.
Ed Asner, as Lou Grant on the Mary Tyler Moore show":
"You've got spunk." (pause) "I hate spunk."

And this one from M*A*S*H:
Soldier: "Father, we want to get married."
Priest: "I can marry you."
Soldier: "But Father, I'm not Catholic, I'm a protestant."
Priest: "Oh, I can do protestant wery well."
Soldier: "I don't know, Father. Is that kosher?"

Pat Boone (after the sound was lost on a live broadcast):
"Somebody kicked the plug out of the wall."
That line has become a standard reaction to such problems, but Boone used it first.

And just recently on a news broadcast:
Judy Woodruff: "Did I do something wrong?
Eric Brown: "You can't do anything wrong." (pause) "But you can do it at the wrong time."
Then they broke for a commercial.

Only with heroic restraint, did I avoid quoting George W. Bush here.
