• Norman Litkey : Look what's going on around you. I mean, we got you, you got Leno, Arsenio, Letterman, Whoopi, Doopi, Poopi... now some chick in the supermarket swings the spotlight unto you and you're wanna let go right by and land on somebody else? I mean, this is a terrific opportunity and I'm wetting myself again.

• Norman Litkey : Hear me out. Hear me out. Why not have her on the show and apologize to her. I swear to Christ, this is brilliant. I mean, the only way you're gonna get better ratings is if you marry Hank on the air.

  Larry Sanders : God, you're a sick fuck.

  Norman Litkey : Thank you.

• Arthur : What's the word from the network, Norm?

  Norman Litkey : They were fine until they saw the tape then they started coughing up blood. I mean, half of the civilized world just gonna watch Entertainment Tonight in a few hours and they're gonna see Larry Sanders body-slamming a woman half his size into a metal wreck.

  Arthur : No...

  Norman Litkey : What?

  Arthur : Terrible.

  Norman Litkey : No! No, this is a publicity Bonanza. Gentlemen, I'm wetting myself.

• Norman Litkey : I'm a publicity man, damage control is my job.
