The 32nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards

Steve Allen:
Thank you very much, Tommy Smothers. We will see you in another twelve years.

Powers Boothe:
This is either the most courageous moment of my career or the stupidest...I have also thought long and hard whether or not I would attend, but I decided to show up because this is America and one must do what one believes. I believe in the Academy. I also believe in my fellow actors in their stand.

Steve Allen:
For those of you hostages in the audience, you are in hour three of your captivity.
