Barbi Benton wants to treat men like sex objects for a change.
Hugh O’Brian wants to be a war hero or something.

Roarke: Miss Clark’s fantasy is to be able to treat men as sex objects for a change.
Tattoo: Boss, every man would line up for her for that fantasy.
Roarke: No, even on Fantasy Island, sexual attraction is a mysterious and unpredictable commodity. Fulfilling her fantasy may be far more difficult than it sounds, my friend.

Okay, Mr. “This Is Fantasy Island”. You can send people back in time and send them to ~the other side~ and back, but finding a man who wants to have sex with Barbi Benton? That’s asking too much.

Tattoo: You mean, his fantasy won’t turn out like he wishes?

Oh, ’cause that’s never happened before.

I’ve never understood why they have these yellow and orange chairs when they’re usually so good about keeping with the red and white decor.

Roarke: I try not to make moralistic judgments of my clients’ desires.

Mmm, I dunno about that.

[Jason Smith is talking about how he wants to be a hero. The phone rings. Roarke answers.]
Roarke: Yes? … Are there any hostages aboard?

How convenient.

Why, yes, I am spending my time trying to figure out what’s on the other side of this map.

“Boogie Wonderland”? Wow, they don’t usually play real songs at the disco.

This strip club is so hokey. The stripper is wearing roller skates, and the waiter is wearing a construction hat. No wonder Roarke thinks sexual attraction is “mysterious” and “unpredictable” if this is what he thinks women find sexy.

This lady just threw herself onto a table for some reason?

Erica Clark: She thinks I’m some sort of a stage door Johnny, messing around with her waiters. Have you ever heard of anything so ludicrous?
Roarke: Oh yes, but customarily, a stage door Johnny is a Johnny, not a Jane. And a waiter is a lady, who may not precisely be a lady all the time, uh, but she’s certainly not a gentleman… do you find this confusing?

Island Apartment? That’s new.

Tattoo: There is a man who has been asking to talk to you about a job. He said that Big Earl pays big bucks.
Erica Clark: But I swore I’d never get into that costume again.
Tattoo: Well, I’m sure your friend Walter will understand that.

Tattoo is suggesting she prostitute herself. Wonderful.

And the guy had to come in in the end and save her. Real nice.

I didn’t realize Fabio and Fabian were different people until my mom explained it to me.
