• [Unknown to Sam, Balki has been hypnotised and thinks he is Elvis Presley]
  Sam Gorphley: If you don't start acting like yourself by the time I count to three, you are out of a job! One...
  Balki: For the money!
  Sam: Two...
  Balki: For the show! — "The King and I", Season Four

• Larry: ...We have the element of surprise.
  Balki: You're right there, cousin: even we don't know what we're doing.

• Larry: Oh, my Lord!

• [Larry is hanging by the neck of his jacket.]
  Larry: Alright, Balki, now help me down.
  Balki: [excited] Cousin, do it for me, please?

  Larry: [sheepishly] They never proved it was the wiring. — "Pipe Dreams", Season Three

  Jennifer Lyons: Larry, it took us all morning to bake three dozen. Do you know how many dozen 2,000 are?
