- Edward Stratton III: If you're ever in any kind of trouble, no matter how bad - whether it's a broken window, getting a bad grade... treason... whatever it is, I want you to know you can always come to me. We'll handle it together.
- Captain Stark: What do you know about ships?
- Ricky Stratton: Oh, a lot. I've seen every episode of Love Boat.
- Captain Stark: I hate that show.
- Ricky Stratton: I think it's important for the people to know this. It's just too easy to get military information with a computer. But you didn't mention my name, right?
- Arnold Jackson: Hey, I always keep my sources anonymous.
- Ricky Stratton: [reading] "This information was furnished by Ricky Stratton, who prefers to remain anonymous."
- Arnold Jackson: [sheepishly] See? Aw, Rick, I needed that story. I never made the front page before, and my editor wouldn't print it without all the details.
- Ricky Stratton: Well, at least you didn't print a picture of the plane.
- Arnold Jackson: I guess you haven't gotten to page 3 yet.
- Edward Stratton III: In order to be a good fisherman, you've got to have perseverance, intuition, courage...
- Ricky Stratton: And a charge account at Burt's Fish Market.
- Edward Stratton III: I thought we weren't gonna tell her.
- Kate Summers: Oh, I would have found out eventually. Word travels fast at $7.95 a pound.
- Ricky Stratton: Someday almost everything's gonna be done by a computer.
- Arnold Jackson: Well, that's -- that's nice, but, uh, we need special stories at the Pecker. Like, can you embezzle a million bucks with this thing?
