Quotes
-
Luke Duke : [before Daisy goes up the stairs] Starr's in the apartment upstairs. We'll be watching the door. Be sure to holler if you need help.
Lester Starr : [in upstairs apartment, reclining on couch, on phone to Boss Hogg] Boss, Boss, believe me, they've got nothing on us. Nothing!
[doorbell rings, he stands up to open door]
Daisy Duke : Hey, my name is Daisy,
[giggles]
Daisy Duke : and I wanna be a star.
Lester Starr : [can't believe his luck] Come in.
Daisy Duke : Okay.
[enters]
Daisy Duke : Now I know millions of girls are always dropping in with cheap tricks to help you get their careers started.
[drops her jacket - she's in tight top, hot pants and high heels]
Daisy Duke : Well, I decided to do the same thing.
Lester Starr : Well,
[chuckles]
Lester Starr : I think you made the right move.
Daisy Duke : [sits down, showing off her sheer-pantyhose legs] I swear I'll do anything to get you to listen to my tape.
Lester Starr : Anything?
Daisy Duke : About.
[as he tries to get comfy next to her:]
Daisy Duke : Oh, now look, if you're going to seduce me or something, shouldn't you be offering me a drink? Of course, I really don't know, you see, I'm so country.
Lester Starr : Really?
Daisy Duke : [softly] Hmm.
Lester Starr : Baby, I'll make you a singing star without even hearing you.
Daisy Duke : [giggles, gets up] Oh, I'm gonna put on my tape, and you can listen. My act is very unique. You see, I got this freak voice. So I do sound-alikes. But with all these singers getting rich imitating people who are dead, I decided to pull a switch and imitate people who are alive. You think it will catch on?
Lester Starr : [still mesmerized] Sure, sure.
Daisy Duke : Now, this is only a rehearsal tape. Just rhythm behind me. It's my Jessi Colter.
Lester Starr : [in the mood for romance, but as the song starts - the genuine Jessi, of course - business takes precedence... fortunately just in time for Daisy's virtue] Is that you? You do sound a little like her.
Daisy Duke : [another track] This is my Loretta Lynn.
["love is the foundation we lean on..." by the genuine singer]
Daisy Duke : And this is my Donna Fargo.
[another track]
Lester Starr : We're gonna make a fortune!
Daisy Duke : Yes, I thought we might. When can we start?
Lester Starr : Tomorrow. Today. Right now!
Daisy Duke : Then it's a deal?
Lester Starr : It's a deal! I'll set up a test session about day after tomorrow. We'll use stolen music tracks behind you. Baby, this is gonna be... Wh... where are you going?
Daisy Duke : You just set up that recording session, and I'll call you.
Lester Starr : Whoo!
[punches air]
Lester Starr : We'll make millions!
Daisy Duke : It's the least I can do for a man who didn't try to take advantage of me.
[blows him a kiss on her way out]
The Balladeer : I don't know about you, but she'd have done had my boots and guitar.

Daisy Duke : [to crooked record producer Starr] Now I know millions of girls are always dropping in here with cheap tricks to help you get their careers started.
[slips off her light robe]
Daisy Duke : Well, I decided to do the same.
[wearing only that pink satin chemise, sits down on couch, gives leggy display, high-heeled open sandals too, pointing her toes even]
Daisy Duke : What do you think?
Lester Starr : Well, I think you made the right move.
Daisy Duke : [giving Starr the full wattage of her sex appeal] I swear I'd do *anything* to get you to listen to my tape.
Lester Starr : [can't believe his luck] Anything?
Daisy Duke : About.
Lester Starr : Wow...
Daisy Duke : Oh, now, look, if you're gonna seduce me or something, shouldn't you be offering me a drink? Of course, I really don't know, you see, I'm so country.
Lester Starr : [much, much taken by her beauty] Really?
Daisy Duke : [smiling] Mm-hmm.
Lester Starr : Baby, I'll make you a singing star without even *hearing* you.
[Daisy giggles]
