[Rob begins dictating a fraudulent letter of dis-recommendation to get Buddy fired by Alan Brady]

Rob Petrie:
Dear Mel: There's a situation concerning the writing staff which I believe merits your attention.

Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell:
Wait a minute, you're too polite! D-d... You gotta louse me up more!

Melvin 'Mel' Cooley:

Melvin 'Mel' Cooley:

Maurice B. 'Buddy' Sorrell:
Wonderful! Curly, if I ever want to get sent to the chair, you're gonna be my lawyer.
