TV Quotes

Norm: [enters] Afternoon, everybody.
All: Norm!
Sam: What can I do for you, Norm?
Norm: Open up those beer taps and take the day off, Sam.

Carla: He's turning into a real jerk, you know. He spends all his time boozing, chasing skirts, and loving and leaving waitresses.
Norm: I wonder what set him off. Suppose maybe it might have been Dia- [Norm groans as Carla grabs him by the hair] Diabetes!
Carla: You were going to say that name, weren't you?
Norm: No, I wasn't.
Carla: Yes, you were. You know my rule.
Norm: But I didn't say it.
Carla: I don't even want you to think it. Use that name and I will give you a sunroof.

Sam: You can't cut off one of our regulars. The poor guy is unemployed.
Frasier: Look, Miss Howe, uh, Norm here is in a very delicate spot. His self-confidence has been shattered. Uh, what he needs from us now is help and support. Isn't there some other way to resolve this problem?
Rebecca: Well, you could pay his bar bill.
Frasier: Norm, the woman will not listen to reason.

Frasier: You know, I agree with Cliff. There's a great deal to be said for discretion. You know, it's entirely possible Rebecca may grow tired of Robin and thus avoid the heartache. Then on the other hand, as one who was cuckolded by a lover deeply trusted, the longer led on, the harder the fall. I'm just not sure that Rebecca can be as strong and forgiving as I was when... that bitch Diane dumped me.

Diane: Are you as happy as l?
Sam: Oh, yeah. I just wish I could get this song out of my head.
Diane: Song?
Sam: Yeah. You- You know how sometimes you connect certain places and things with certain songs?
Diane: Oh, I know exactly what you mean. Thank you. This may sound a bit pretentious, but every time I'm in a taxi, I can't help but hum "Dove Sono" from Le Nozze Di Figaro simply because once a rather zaftig Parisian cabbie sang the entire aria on a trip through Montparnasse to La Coupole.

Frasier: Sam, just how much do you pay that boy?
Sam: I pay him a fair amount. See, Fras, I don't think you understand that a, a bartender's hourly wage is just a very small portion of his overall income. Most of it comes from... tips.
Frasier: I see. [Sam looks at Frasier] I won't bring it up again, Sam.
Sam: I think that'd be best.

Norm: What's the matter, Sam? Chickening out on us?
Cliff: Yeah, Sammy, Sammy, Sammy. I always thought you had more character.
Sam: Hey, listen. Those guys are staying. Anyone else wants to leave, fine.
Norm: Okay, Sam, you know what kind of bar this could turn into?
Sam: It's not going to turn into the kind of bar that I have to throw people out of.
Diane: That was the noblest preposition you've ever dangled.
Sam: Thank you.
