• Frankie Washarskie : [performing her own routine]  I was harassed by the police, and all I was doing was walking my little poodle -... - Yeah, my little poodle, her name was Tis, and, oh, she was the cutest little teacup you ever did see. Well, I let her off her leash to use the, uh... Well, to go to the, uh... You know. Out of nowhere comes this big old black cat, and it races by, and Tis - boom! - takes off into the bushes, right after her.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : This is a sad story.

  Frankie Washarskie : Yeah, well, I go into the bushes and lookin' for her. Of course, though, I wasn't, uh, naked. -... - But I was just, er, comin' out of those bushes, right about the corner, and I was callin' my dog, when all of a sudden, this policeman comes up to me, and he grabs me, and he arrests me, and he hauls me in front of the judge!

  Dr. Sam Beckett : What for?

  Mack MacKay : For steppin' on his act.

  Frankie Washarskie : No, No, No. For soliciting with the purpose of prostitution.

  Mack MacKay : Well, it doesn't surprise me.

  Frankie Washarskie : Well, it surprised me, I mean, I wasn't. I was just standin' on the corner callin' my dog, sayin', "Here, Tis! Here, Tis!"

• [Sam has just leaped into Davey, one half of the comedy duo Parker & MacKay, who are performing one of their stand-up routines] 

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Well, this-this cop said that...

  Mack MacKay : Yeah, he was haulin' you in.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : He was haulin' me in, and, and I was...

  Mack MacKay : Naked.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : ...na-k-ked. And, uh...

  Mack MacKay : You were, you were holding the sheep. And then you said...

  Dr. Sam Beckett : "Oh, boy"?

• [Al tells Sam that MacKay will soon vanish] 

  Dr. Sam Beckett : What happens?

  Admiral Al Calavicci : I don't know, he was never seen again. In Italian, we say he's probably sleeping with the fishes. But of course there's no fishes in, in Las Vegas, so he's probably sleepin' with the scorpions or sleepin' with the cen-centipedes or sleepin' with the... the rattlesnakes...

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Okay, I got the picture.

• Dr. Sam Beckett : You know, Mack has never been to Las Vegas before. I-I saw him earlier. He-He's checkin' out all these one-armed burglars.

  Frankie Washarskie : Bandits.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : That too.

• Dr. Sam Beckett : [referring to Mack]  Look, you said you were crazy about him. You may have to teach him how to love.

  Frankie Washarskie : But he's so angry.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Yeah, well...

  Admiral Al Calavicci : Well, after six years of therapy, he'll be fine.
