Quote from Carla in Sam at Eleven
Carla: Dave, this is a really good idea. Dave: Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it? Carla: About time you got around to Mayday. Dave: Well, actually, I'm really kind of excited that he agreed to do the interview. You know, John McEnroe cancelled out on me. Carla: So Sam was your second choice? Dave: No. Gerry Cheever's out of town with his horses. Carla: Third? Dave: ML Carr has laryngitis. Carla: Fourth? Dave: Jim Rice is out of town, and, uh, Robert Parish was last week. And Becky Bannerman, the junior high school gymnast, is on a field trip. Carla: But Sam was the first retired guy you thought of? Dave: No. Well... Carla: [grabs Dave's tie] I said, Sam was the first retired guy you thought of! Dave: The very first. Carla: He's honored.
