Quote from Norm in Dinner at Eight-ish
Frasier: Hey, what're you doing there, Norm? Norm: Oh, Vera signed me up to give a speech at her Women's Auxiliary Club. [Sam chuckles] I hate public speaking. Frasier: Yeah, you're not alone there, pal. Norm: Well, it's awful, you know. You're standing there in front of a group of total strangers, palms sweating, your throat dry, your mouth feels like it's full of cotton, your knees practically buckling. Frasier: It can be a miserable experience. Norm: I tell you. Frasier: So what's the topic? Norm: "Poise: The Key to Success."
