Season 1

The Society Party (Pilot) [1.1]

Shirley: Laverne, the only parties we've ever been to are bring-your-own.

Laverne: I like bringin' my own... that way I know what I'm gettin'.

[After Lenny and Squiggy ask Laverne and Shirley out on a date]

Shirley: No, thank you. We're going to a formal society dinner.

Lenny: [Sarcastically] Whoa, pardon me ladies...

Squiggy: Yeah, I would've worn my tuxedo, but my polo pony ate it.

Laverne: A Society gentleman would only go out with you for one reason - to have a good time, a few laughs, and a little vo-dee-oh-doh-doh.

Shirley: I don't vo-dee-oh-doh-doh!

Laverne: You vo-dee-oh-doh-doh.

Shirley: I don't vo-dee-oh-doh-doh!

Laverne: You vo-dee-OH...

Shirley: Once, and I was going steady a whole year...

Shirley: [Jumps in to stop Laverne from saying hell in front of Anna] Heck! Heck! Heck!

Anna: Yeah I remember that one!

Shirley: Vo-dee-oh-doh-doh!

Lenny: I saw it with my own two eyes. I had to choke back a blush!

Shirley: It's different for you. You don't have a reputation to protect.

Squiggy: What are you talking about, Shirley? For the first time in my life, I got a reputation!

Laverne: It just doesn't seem fair. A guy with a reputation is a hero. A girl with a reputation is a bimbo It just doesn't seem fair.

Lenny: That's poor oral hygiene, Shirl. You're gonna wear them right down to the nub.

Squiggy: Go ahead and laugh. Just like they laughed at Columbus right before he discovered Ohio.

Shirley: Those boys have got the right idea. We should try making money at what we really love to do.

Lenny: Didn't you used to go out with her?

Squiggy: No, that was Theresa DeFluca

Shirley: Do you know what? Girls love plants.

Squiggy: What do you do, you wait for them to lie down, and then kind of rub it all over their bodies?

Laverne: How about you, Len? You like girls, too, huh?

Lenny: Sure. Hey, if I get a bigger plant then him, will I get bigger women?

Laverne: Yeah we do! Yeah we do!

Laverne: Do you remember Alan Steckler??

Shirley: Please don't do this.

Laverne: Alan Steckler, a guy who chewed his socks? Do you know what it's like kissing a guy who chews his socks? It's like making out with a hamper.

Shirley: I'm telling you Laverne, this whole thing is sick and morbid.

Squiggy: [Crying] Hello!

Shirley: [Swallowing hard and placing hand on her chest to hider her disgust] No, thanks, I'm fasting... religious reasons.

Lenny: You know girls, between us, Squiggy's not as smart as he looks...

Lenny: Well, Laverne Kosnowski. I guess tonight’s the night we finally constipate our marriage… in the biblical sense.

Hotel Manager: If you don’t pay up in one week… [snaps cob of corn in half]

Squiggy: You'll break our corn??

Lenny: You’ve seen Laverne peddling around this apartment in her Frederick’s of Hollywood negligence!

Squiggy: If that ain’t the whole truth… then may Edna’s coffee be poisoned!

Squiggy: Champagne? Why that’s the devil’s vodka!

Lenny: Hey girls - how about a little TV and Bosco before we retire?

Lenny: I really wish we’d lived back when nobody talked. We’d never run out of things to say.

Edna: [Referring to ribs] Just the way the customers like them… lean and greasy.

Squiggy: Hello!

Shirley: You mean to tell me that the ball in a ball game is made from a pony?!?

Shirley: I'll go to this ball game... but I'll be rooting for the ball!

Squiggy: Of course, a silent movie! That’s why we’s never heard of them!

Lenny: Here. Sorry I broke your lettuce.
