Quotes 

• Laurie Partridge : Oh, my gosh

  Shirley Partridge : What's the matter, Laurie?

  Laurie Partridge : Look, I don't want anyone to panic or anything, but there's a skunk sitting right behind me.

  Shirley Partridge : A what, dear?

  Laurie Partridge : A skunk, Mother.

• Christopher 'Chris' Partridge : Gee, is it that bad?

  Elevator Boy : Whatever it is, it's that bad.

  Danny Partridge : It's a mixture skunk and ladies' cologne.

  Elevator Boy : Don't bottle it. It'll never sell. Look, would you mind taking the elevator up yourselves?

  Shirley Partridge : I'm terribly sorry about driving all your passengers away.

  Elevator Boy : That's okay, lady. Just keep it moving. Otherwise, this elevator will be classified as a pollution area. No offense.

• Shirley Partridge : I just used up a whole bottle of my best perfume. Doesn't it smell any better?

  Keith Partridge : No. Just different.

  Shirley Partridge : What do you mean?

  Keith Partridge : Now it smells like perfumed skunk.

• Laurie Partridge : Ooh, that smell is absolutely gross.

  Shirley Partridge : It's very unpleasant but at least he's gone now

  Keith Partridge : Yeah, but I have a feeling he's gonna be with us in spirit for a long time to come.

• Reuben Kincaid : What did I do?

  Shirley Partridge : You were in our bus.

  Reuben Kincaid : Yeah, but... You mean, I...

  Shirley Partridge : To high heaven.

  Elevator Boy : Would you mind taking it up yourself, sir?

  Shirley Partridge : Shirley?

  Laurie Partridge : Don't worry. We'll have the bellboy bring up an embarrassing amount of tomato juice.

  Reuben Kincaid : So, that's the thanks I get. Abandoned.

• Shirley Partridge : Oh, it's all right. There's nothing wrong with us now.

  Elevator Boy : Whatever you say.

  Shirley Partridge : We may look a little funny, but we're all right otherwise. We got decontaminated at the hospital.

  Elevator Boy : Oh. I'm glad you changed your lifestyle. I like you much better that way. A little freaky looking, but you're definitely on the right path.

• Shirley Partridge : All right everyone, grab a suitcase. We'll have to leave Simone in the bus until we can get her shampooed.

  Christopher 'Chris' Partridge : Poor Simone, she'll be lonely,

  Shirley Partridge : Honey, the way she smells she'll be lonely wherever she goes!
