WKRP in Cincinnati, Season 1
[Les pays Little Arthur to learn what Mrs. Carlson says about him]
Little Arthur:
She says that you're obtuse.
Les Nessman:
Ooh!
Herb:
[reading dictionary] Adultery... Admire...
Les:
Let me see that.
[snatches dictionary away from Herb]
Les:
Obtuse...
Herb:
[snatching dictionary back from Les] Addle-minded!
Les:
[snatching back the dictionary] Obtuse!
Herb:
[Herb attempts to snatch the dictionary back from Les, but Les slams Herb's hand in the book] Addle-ow!
Bailey:
[entering] Hi, guys.
Herb:
Oh. Hi, Bailey. Met Carlson's son?
Bailey:
Yes. I've had the pleasure.
Herb:
Well, he's quite a kid. Let me tell you. [under breath to Little Arthur] Tell your dad I said that.
Les:
[excited] Obtuse! According to Websters, exceeding ninety degrees but less than one-hundred eighty degrees; lacking sharpness or quickness of sensibility; rounded at the free end; dull. [looks and feels offended] That's an insult!
Bailey:
Les, take it easy.
Les:
Take it easy?
Herb:
Yeah. Just calm down, okay?
Les:
Don't tell me to calm down. I just paid five dollars to find out I'm "rounded at the free end"!
Bailey:
Cool off, Les.
Herb:
He's just mad because he's not addle-minded.
Les:
I am too.
Herb:
No. You're not.
Les:
[Herb and Less start hitting each other] Yes. I am.
Herb:
No. You're not.
Les:
Yes. I am!
Herb:
You're not!
Bailey:
You guys! You are both addle-minded!
Les:
Thank you, Bailey.
Bailey:
You're welcome, Les.
