Sam: Look, what happened to me today put a period at the end of my career. The last thing I need is a cheerleader right now.
Diane: Well, that's what you need the most! Hey, you know, I was looking at you at that interview today. No, I didn't see a washed-up ex-former has-been. No, I saw a guy who has a great deal to look back on with pride. And a great deal to look forward to with hope.
Sam: Yeah?
Diane: Of course, it didn't hurt that you were standing next to a Cro-Magnon. Sam, here's the point. You know, you have to put the past behind you. You have to turn and face the future. You have to open your eyes, see what's right in front of you. You're young, you're alive. Feel that in your whole body. Appreciate what you've got. Live for today. Go for it, Sam! I tell you, go for it!
[As Sam embraces Diane and kisses her, she wrestles him away and flips him onto the pool table]
Diane: Are you OK?
Sam: Yeah... Yeah I'm fine. Oh, hey, look. One of my lights is out!
Diane: It's a reflex, Sam. You know, I learned in a class. Practical Feminism.
Sam: Oh. Whoo. What was your final? Crippling a Buick?
Diane: Look, I'm sorry I had to do that, but I came in here with very honorable intentions of trying to help you out.
Sam: No, I'm sorry, you're right. Thank you. I really appreciate you coming in here. It's the high point of my day.
