Quote from Norm

Emily: Pardon me, Norm. I just gotta call the shop. Hey, I really like this Cheers place. Do you come here often?
Norm: Well, what do you consider often?
Emily: Oh, two or three times a week.
Norm: Then I don't come here often.

Quote from Coach

Norm: Come on. Don't be ridiculous.
Cliff: I don't know. Let's just submit this to our resident expert on womenology.
Coach: Well, I don't usually think of myself that way, but I'd be happy to share any thoughts I have with you, Cliffo.

Quote from Coach

Carla: So, what do you think, Sam?
Sam: I think she's scouting your territory.
Diane: Norman, ignore these blatherskites. They're just having fun at your expense.
Coach: She's absolutely right, Normie. The emptiness of their lives causes them to cast aspersions on your own.
Diane: You can say that again.
Coach: No, I can't, Diane.

Quote from Cliff

Norm: I know these guys are joking.
Diane: They know as well as you do that if anything did happen it would injure irreparably the special one you love.
Cliff: Oh, come on, Diane. I'd get over it in a couple of weeks.

Quote from Norm

Sam: Norm, you told her you were married, right?
Norm: Course. She knows about Vera. I mentioned her at least a couple of times. My wedding ring's right out there for everyone to see... at that pawn shop on Boylson Street.

Quote from Carla

Diane: You people are recommending Norman commit adultery.
Carla: It happens all the time, stick. That's the way life is. I'm telling you, the only difference between Dynasty and the real world is they got better hair cuts.

Quote from Coach

Coach: My, God, I just thought of something.
Sam: What's that?
Coach: What if Vera calls and she wants to know where Normie is?
Carla: Tell her he stepped out.
Coach: That's kind of flimsy, Carla.
Carla: OK. He went to a movie with you, Coach.
Coach: Oh, yeah, that's nice. Gee, Norm and I haven't been out together in a long time. [phone rings] [answers] Okay, okay, I can't go through it, Mrs. Peterson, Norm's out with a dame.
Carla: Give me that!
Cliff: Coach. Coach, if you were at the Alamo, we'd all be wearing sombreros.

Quote from Sam

Norm: I didn't even have the guts to go in, Sam. I've been sitting out in the car for the last two hours.
Sam: What about your hickey?
Norm: I've got one of those little vacuum cleaners in the glove compartment. I'm such a coward!
Sam: Oh, come on, Norm. Meaningless affairs aren't all they're cracked up to be. I've had lots of them. Do you think they made me happy?
Norm: Ecstatic.
Sam: Yeah, but that's me, Norm.

Quote from Norm

Norm: Sammy, can I make a confession to you right now?
Sam: Oh, please don't.
Norm: I love my wife.
Sam: Well, that's not as bad as I thought it was going to be.
Norm: Well, just wait a second, it gets worse.
Sam: Oh, God.
Norm: Vera is the only woman I've ever had.
Sam: Now, Norm, when you say "had", you mean...
Norm: Yes.
Sam: [chuckles] Come on, man. Be serious.
Norm: I am.
Sam: Well, what's wrong with that? What's wrong with that?
Norm: I mean, I don't even want other women, Sam. All right, don't get me wrong. I get urges, okay? And if I acted on those urges, I'd be no better than a rutting pig. A happy, singing, dancing, rutting pig.

Quote from Norm

Sam: I don't know what this all was about? I mean, you make it sound like you're confessing a crime, here.
Norm: Come on, Sam, people don't go around bragging about loving their wives. I mean, when was the last time you saw a bunch of guys around a bar slamming beers and exchanging great tales of marital bliss?
Sam: So those jokes about Vera are a bunch of baloney. You really love her, huh?
Norm: Course I do. Most of them aren't even true, you know. Like that one about the tentacles.
