No personal interviews.
Yeah, but I'm sorry, but those are our orders.

Major Nelson, you know Judy Carne, of course.
Hi.
Uh, major, we realize that you and the princess are a hot item, but we have no time.
We've gotta be there in half an hour.
You mean, the princess was over here? In the major's room? [IN GERMAN ACCENT.]
Very interesting.
Where is she? Oh, she's in freshening up.
Something probably happened.

Why don't the three of you go over to the studio, I'll bring her along later? And miss her entrance? I wouldn't miss that for the world.
BELLOWS: Major Nelson, what's the meaning of this?! [COUGHING.]
Major Nelson, you call this after-shave lotion? I don't know, sir.
What do you call it? BELLOWS: Oh, it smells like skunk.
Must be something wrong in the factory.

Well, I have it on very good authority that she's not gonna do the show.
GARY: Not gonna do the show? JUDY: She has to do the show.
ARTE: Her agent signed a contract.
