Polson: "I don't care what you say, what you do, or how quickly you want to lynch me. We're not having burgers again for lunch, and that's final!"
(Room groans)

So I says back to him: "Look mister I don't know who this Wilford Brimley is and I don't have any oatmeal"

Polson: Could you hand me some more sun tan lotion for my head these lights are bright.

Baker: My EYES!! I'm being blinded by the glare

Baker is background: 'This City Hall coffee sux so bad, its making my eyes water'.

Baker: I told my PR People, 'look just cause I'm the satan of St Pete doesn't mean I like these red colored contacts. They're killing me'.

Polson to Kennedy - "What, so now you're the unibomber writing a manifesto?"

Baker in background - "Why did I ever agree to help the Rays with this gigantic waste of time"

Polson: 'See all I'm saying is Rick K. posts all these made up numbers on the Times blogs and pulls data out of thin air. I mean its like Kalt and Sternberg over there. All this data off the cuff. No real thought or logic in it. Enough. No Stadium on the waterfront'.

"The people historically in this city they really have a problem with giving up the waterfront," said City Council Chairman Jamie Bennett, who was already talking about alternative locations. "Anybody who's lived in this city ... it's engraved on their heart: Protect that waterfront."

"Oh geez... Wengay put the kick me sign on Polson's back; now I owe him 5 bucks."

Polson: "Look, I didn't mean to put arsenic in his coffee. Really. I didn't."

Polson: "Does anyone else hear a freaking cowbell in here?"

Polson: "Look, I'm sorry, I've been eating a lot of broccoli lately."

Polson: "I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next person that says referendum." (helps if you've seen super troopers)

Hey! I'm the only guy who knows anything around here!

Kennedy: "Hey, Rick! What's the name of that thing you do when you want something on the ballot?"
Baker: "You mean 'Referendum'?"
Council (with Curran holding out a gun for Polson): "OOOOOOOOOOOH!"

haha

HMMM my vote doesn't matter at this point, maybe I can gain some loud supporters.

Baker: Tell me when it's over

Hey, what do I care about the Rays leaving or what the future of St. Pete is? I'll be dead in 10 years just like 90% of the POWW people. I want to enjoy my condo's waterfront view now!

Baker thinking -

"Holy mother of . . .this f@#^ing guy again . . ."

.....LMFAO!!!!! That's the best one yet.

"No I never banged Jessica Tandy and for the last time I wasn't in the movie Cocoon so stop asking for my autograph!!"

"Look!, You sob's already caused me to miss the early bird dinner special at IHOP. Now, get out of my way! I can still make it to Denny's."

"...and yes, Jessica was fantastic."

These pretzels, are making me THIRSTY!!

"boring boring reading reading boring boring Sunshine Law boring boring might vote no boring boring more boring wait boring voting yes boring boring thought I fooled you boring boring."

Bubble over Baker's head: "How am I going to bamboozle the Seven Dwarfs in here and the dopes on the Commission and the 250,000 saps in boonies like Pinellas Park and Tierra Verde to swallow this subsidy thing and set me up for the contributions I'll need for my next political step up?"

Baker, "Please, Charlie, get the VP bid so that I can move on to Tallahassee."

Who the hell is this Xenu guy and why do I need to see his website?
http://www.scientomogy.com/xenu.php
Baker- "this guy is clueless if he doesn't know Xenu and his stadium plan"

"baker, You're an @$$, you can cover your face all you want but everyone sees it.

Herb: When is Aaron Sharockman going to pull his head out of his @$$? You's think that 7 months without daylight would be enough." Maybe he'll get the truth ny morse code.

Oh God, not another cowbell joke from Will.

You got a problem with my milk moustache?

Poulson: "Look, I'm sorry that my reasoned logic has made him cry, but he's a big boy and he should have known what he was getting into when he started having secret meetings with the Boys from New York."

Baker: Eeeewwwwww.......BRAIN FREEZE!!

Why is the persons that are living in the new condo worried about there view? They didn't mind blocking their neighbors view for their new condo's to be built. I'm undecided right now because no one has told me exactly how will the community that was ripped apart and displaced twenty years ago benefit from the new development on the current stadium's site?

Theresa, There is no benefit to the citizens who formerly owned property in the Gas Plant Neighborhood. However, there is precedent where land grabbed by eminent domain was not used for the proposed purpose but then resold to a private entity. The people who's land was bought recieved the difference in the accumulated buy price and sale price which was many millions of dollars. If you know people who owned property in that neighborhood, I would advise them to hire a lawyer.

Paulson - "I Am the Walrus! I Am the Walrus!"

Baker - "Coo coo ca choo ..Coo coo ca choo"

"If I knew POWW was going to be a bunch of old chicks and Don in St. Pete I never would have agreed to be their fearless leader. But you have to admit, their lies are pretty compelling!"

In RE: Maybe's 11:33 PM.

That is funny!!
