Sam: Well, Cliff, if it's any consolation, I've seen her, and I'm scared for you.
Cliff: [sees Madeline] Oh, my God. Oh, Sam. [drops the phone]

Quote from Cliff

Madeline Keith: Slide over, Cliff. [Cliff slides away from Madeline] No, I meant this way, Cliff.
Cliff: Oh. Yes, ma'am.
Madeline Keith: Now isn't this wonderful?
Cliff: Yeah I wish the guys in the bar could see us.
Madeline Keith: Really?
Cliff: [chuckling] Oh, I mean, you know, it's just a figure of speech.

Quote from Cliff

Cliff: Uh uh, they just think that we're together because you-you want me to drop the lawsuit and...
[Madeline lets go off Cliff's head, sending it falling back onto the headboard]
Madeline Keith: Well, they couldn't be more wrong.
Cliff: Oh, no, I know, uh... I know. It's just, uh... I wish I could, uh convince them of that.
Madeline Keith: I know. If only that silly lawsuit were out of the way, I could focus my total attention on you, taking you to a height of ecstasy you never dreamed possible.
Cliff: Yeah, I could go for that. But, uh, well, l, uh... I ripped up that release form in the bar.
Madeline Keith: Well, there... No... Unless...
Cliff: Unless what?
Madeline Keith: Unless... No...
Cliff: No, what? No, tell me.

Quote from Cliff

Madeline Keith: Well, I happen to have another copy of that release form in my purse.
Cliff: Oh, what a break! I'm a lucky guy! Uh, you got a pen? [Madeline retrieves a pen from her cleavage]
Madeline Keith: Oh! Oh, I feel a terrible burden lifted off my shoulders.
Cliff: Oh, yeah. Me, too. W- W- W- W- What now?
Madeline Keith: Well, you just lie back...
Cliff: Yeah?
Madeline Keith: And close your eyes...
Cliff: Oh, yeah!
Madeline Keith: And I'll check my phone messages.
Cliff: Uh, excuse me?
Madeline Keith: Well, I get very distracted when I haven't checked my messages. And you don't want me to be distracted, do you? [beeping] Oh, my God!
Cliff: Uh-oh.

Quote from Cliff

Woody: Maybe it's just me, but I think that woman's kind of pretty.
Cliff: Really? l, uh... hadn't noticed.
Woody: Too busy thinking about the lawsuit, huh?
Cliff: Lawsuit?
