Filthy Pictures: Part 1 (1980)

Frank Bonner: Herb Tarlek

Quotes 

• Arthur Carlson : This photographer of Herb's choosing somehow got nude pictures of our Jennifer.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Let's see 'em.

  Venus Flytrap : Where are they?

  Herb Tarlek : Who has 'em?

  Andy Travis : [incredulous]  No he didn't.

  Arthur Carlson : I saw them in the office.

  Venus Flytrap : What's he gonna do with them? Sell them to some girlie magazine or something?

  Arthur Carlson : No, he's going to sell them to the Catholic Church. Wise-up, Venus.

  Venus Flytrap : I just asked a question.

  Arthur Carlson : Look, I'm sorry, but I'm upset by all of this. Jennifer doesn't even know what an injustice has been done to her, and I'm the one who's going to have to tell her because it was my idea. And if it were not for me, this would not have happened.

  Herb Tarlek : [sheepishly]  Sounds to me like I'm not fired.

  Arthur Carlson : I can't blame you, Herb. I thought I could. I dearly wanted to. But I can't.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [inquisitively]  How nude is she?

  Arthur Carlson : [sheepishly covering his chest area with his hand and stumbling with his words]  Oh, she's uh, nude nude.

  Andy Travis : Well, hold on. I don't get this. We were together.

  Arthur Carlson : The pictures look like they were taken when she was changing.

  Andy Travis : Why that dirty...

  Venus Flytrap : Isn't that against the law, sir?

  Arthur Carlson : Apparently not. Releases were signed, the attorney said we can fight it, but the pictures probably get published anyway no matter what happens.

  Andy Travis : I don't believe this. Jennifer's gonna... well, I don't know what she's gonna do. This is gonna kill her.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Yeah. Were the negatives in the envelope with the photos?

  Arthur Carlson : Yes.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : And you know where that envelope is in the office?

  Arthur Carlson : Yes, I think it's in his desk.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : [nodding]  Well, I'm going to suggest something ridiculous here. As usual, it's one of my deeply bent ideas. And I suggest it just so that we can dismiss it quickly and move onto sounder ground, but nevertheless, uh... Why don't we Watergate it?

  Venus Flytrap : Are you nuts? Breaking and entering is a felony!

  Herb Tarlek : Lord, Fever.

  Andy Travis : Yeah, why don't we think of something else.

  Arthur Carlson : Wait, wait, wait a minute, here. Fever just might be onto something. Well, I don't know exactly what else to do about it. Look, I'm certainly not going to let some sleazy photographer ruin the life and the reputation of a good friend of mine just because she did me a favor.

  Herb Tarlek : I'm with you, Big Guy.

  Andy Travis : We get caught, we could go to jail.

  Dr. Johnny Fever : Yeah, that's the part of the plan that I don't like.
