Quote from Coach in Showdown, Part 1
Carla: Coach, don't Sam and his brother spend any time together? Coach: Oh, they get together whenever he's in town, but he's never been to Cheers. Diane: Well, he's coming now, and someone has to tell Sam. Coach: Let me do it. I'm a smoothie about breaking bad news. [knocks] Sam: [opens door] Yeah? Coach: Sam, your apartment burned down, you lost everything. Sam: Oh, my God. Really? Coach: No. Your brother's in town, he's on his way over. Makes you feel better, doesn't it? Sam: I hate it when you do that, Coach. Coach: Oh, come on, Sam, it cushions the blow.
