Cliff: Norm, it's a little known fact the word "Florida" comes from the language of the Okefenokee Indians and it means literally, "place where the old people come to sweat".

Coach: Oh, hi, sweetheart. Are you ready for the best dinner of your life?
Irene: Ernie, every dinner I have with you is better than the one before it. [all aww]
Coach: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is Wednesday. Every Wednesday up at Melville's the vegetable is spinach. Spinach is green and you know what that means, right? So please sit down. I've got a couple of questions. What I want to say is... Oh, wait a minute I got it. Uh, Irene... l'm not a rich man. I'm not a young man. I'm not a handsome man. I'm not a tall man. I'm not a strong man. I'm not a talented man. I'm not a well-traveled man. I'm not a smart man. I'm not a milkman. I'm not a fat man. I'm not a gingerbread man. I'm...
Irene: What are you trying to say?
Coach: Oh, I don't need a piece of paper to tell you what my feelings are. Irene... Well, maybe I do. I'm not a rich man. I'm not a young...
All: Coach! [Sam points to his heart]
Coach: Oh, yes, Sam. Look, Irene, what I'm trying to say is, I love you and I want you to marry me, but I can't find the words to say it.
Irene: Ernie, you've said all the words you need to. I'd love to be your wife.
Coach: She said yes!

Cliff: Well, another day shot, huh? I guess I'll just slip off to the old hacienda and close the peepers. Well, good night.
Sam: Later.
Cliff: Well, it's not really later in Florida, Sammy. It's a popular misconception. It's Eastern Standard Daylight Time down there, too. Speaking of time, boy, it really stops still when you're in the Everglades. Boy, they have got huge gators down there. You know, gators are what we who are familiar with Florida call alligators. Yeah, they have huge gators and crocs. You all know what a croc is?
All: Oh, yeah.
Cliff: Well, the first morning there was crystalline. As I was stepping out of the hydrofoil, the captain, Billy Bob Dupre, I think his name was, asked me not to bring the beach umbrella. Well, because it got caught in the prop on the way out...

Diane: Just goes to show, love can strike anywhere, anytime. It doesn't ask your name or your age. It asks only...
Sam: How big are your bazongas?
Diane: I should have known the beauty of this moment was lost on you. Haven't you realized yet there is a great difference between the Coach's affaire de coeur and your animal cravings? Tap your cloven hoof twice for "yes".

Coach: Normie, how did you propose to Vera?
Norm: Well, I... You know something? I don't think I did. You think there could there be a loophole in this terrible tragedy?
Cliff: Uh, not if you consummated it.
Norm: Egad! Why couldn't we have had this conversation yesterday?

Cliff: Carla, look, the Sox are rallying.
Carla: I've sworn off those losers forever. [crowd cheers on TV] I am not interested.
Commentator: It's going... Going...
Carla: I retract everything! Go Sox!
Commentator: Oh, it's caught. That will do it.
Carla: Oh, God! You know, I don't ask for much in this life. Fresh fish. Ten cents off on laundry detergent. Volcanic boils all over my ex-husband. And the Sox in the Series again before I die.
Cliff: Hey, you're a good woman, Carla.
Carla: Ah, shove it!

Diane: Hi, I'm finally here. Better late than never.
Carla: That wouldn't be my choice.

Sam: Ooh, what have we got here?
Diane: Uh, just some things... Some things you forgot a few months ago. To be opened later privately and very discretely.
Sam: Hey, my pants! All right, I've been looking for these. Where did you find them, in your bedroom?
Diane: A little louder please for the three of four people in the Ukraine who didn't hear. There's more. I don't know how you got along without your Snoopy toothbrush?
Norm: Nice, Sammy.
Cliff: Hey, Mr. Tooth Decay better watch out now, Sam.
Sam: I'll have you know that four out of five dentists rate this right at the top.

Diane: Oh, but you can keep that little hand puppet you loved so much.
Sam: Hand puppet?
Diane: Yes, Brian the Lion.
Sam: Oh, yeah. Brian the Lion. [notices Carla is dusting the bar with it]
Diane: I remember how touched you were that I gave you something that I had in my childhood.
Sam: Yes, extremely. [to Carla] I'll give you five bucks to run out right now.
Carla: You got it.
Sam: No, take this with you...
Diane: [gasps] Brian?
Sam: Oh, by golly, in this light, it does look a little bit like Brian.
Diane: Brian the Lion, a bar rag? Sam Malone, you are the most insensitive, insufferable boob I have ever had the misfortune to run across.

Sam: Uh, you know, since I'm going to have to part with that sweater, could you tell me where I might be able to get one exactly like it?
Diane: Sorry, Sam, I bought it in Ireland years ago. It's one of a kind. Totally irreplaceable.
Sam: Uh-huh. So if a guy had been spending his whole morning going from one department store to the next, he'd be wasting his time? [Diane gasps as Sam shows her the sweater] Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry. It's clean.
Diane: Sam, how could you?
Sam: Oh, come on now, Diane. Don't be small about this.
Diane: I hate you!
Sam: Well, don't you want this?
Diane: What in the world is it good for?
Sam: Well, did you see that movie The Incredible Shrinking Woman? I pray to God it never happens to you, but you never know...
