Jan Smithers: Bailey Quarters

Quotes 

• Bailey Quarters : [on the phone with a listener]  No, no, we are off the air. Now how can we announce we are off the air when we are off the air?

• Bailey Quarters : [Andy and Bailey are standing in the control booth as Andy prepares to commandeer the broadcast to warn Johnny and Venus of the bomb at the transmitter where they are located]  Andy, you can't do that...

  Andy Travis : Look Bailey, I know it's darned unprofessional, but this is serious.

  Bailey Quarters : But, Andy...

  Andy Travis : [shhes Bailey]  Bailey.

  Andy Travis : [speaks into the microphone]  We interrupt this broadcast for a very special emergency announcement. This is Andy Travis calling Johnny Fever and Venus...

  Andy Travis : [throws mike and its boom up in frustration]  I'm not on the air!

  Bailey Quarters : [rushed]  That's what I'm trying to tell you, the studio can only transmit one way!

  Andy Travis : [confused]  What?

  Bailey Quarters : [slower]  I said that the studio-transmitter link is only one way. Until they throw the switch, the studio is dead!

  Andy Travis : Well, that's dumb! Who set that up?

  Bailey Quarters : You did. It was cheaper that way.

  [Andy rolls his eyes at his own poor judgement]
