WKRP in Cincinnati1978

Andy Travis:
Mrs. Carlson, rock and roll is where the money is.

Mama Carlson:
How much money?

Andy Travis:
Well, I think we can break even the first year, the second year I think...

Mama Carlson:
Second year? I'm talking about now!

Andy Travis:
Well, these things take time, ma'am. We break even the first year, the second year we clear maybe $800,000 after taxes...

Mama Carlson:
Too little and too late!

Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
Too little? Mama, that $800,000 is *profits*, not losses!

Mama Carlson:
I can sell the station for five times that amount right now! I want a faster turnaround!

Andy Travis:
Ma'am, well, I hate to say it, but I... I personally cannot work that way. I guess I am fired.

Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
No, wait a minute! Mama look, you've been on my back for years to turn a profit here. Now when I'm finally getting started, you want to dump the station! Let me tell you something, if he goes, I go!

Mama Carlson:
What?

Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
That's what I said!

Mama Carlson:
Arthur, you've never spoken to me that way before!

Arthur 'Big Guy' Carlson:
Yeah, well. Uh, do you like it?

Mama Carlson:
I hate it! But it's the first time I've seen any sign of backbone in you.
