Sam Quote #40
Quote from Sam in Coach's Daughter
Sam: Coach. Coach, let me talk to you here. Do you remember a double-header against Cleveland on a hot August day, 1974?
Coach: Yeah, I remember part of that. Yeah.
Sam: What part?
Coach: I remember hot.
Sam: Well, that's good. That's good. That's a beginning. Do you remember I was on the mound and Johnson had been thrown out of the game, and you were filling in as manager. It was the last inning. I had just walked. The base was loaded. Ah, gosh, who was up?
Coach: Spikes. Charlie Spikes.
Sam: Ah, that's it. Charlie Spikes. Anyway, you came out to the mound to talk to me because I was in a jam. I didn't have any good stuff left. I thought you were going to yank me but you didn't. Instead, you said that something I've never forgotten. Do you remember what you said?
Coach: What did I say?
Sam: You said, "Go get him."
Coach: I said that?
Sam: Yeah. And I got him, Coach. I got him.
Coach: Well, I was glad to be there, Sammy, to help out.
Sam: Well, I'm glad you were there, too, Coach. Because if you hadn't said that, my career may have ended that day, instead of when it did... a couple of weeks later.
Coach: Sam, what the hell are we talking about this now for?
Sam: Coach, go get him.

Quote from Sam
Sam: Hey, Chuck, how's the job search going?
Chuck: I got something, Sam, but I'm not crazy about it. I'm a janitor at a biology lab where they do DNA experiments, making mutant viruses and stuff.
Sam: Sounds like a pretty good job to me.
Chuck: I don't know. Makes me a little nervous, you know, all that weird stuff floating around.
Carla: Ah, hey, don't worry about it.
Norm: Don't sweat it.
Sam: Yeah, of course, they handle all that stuff.
Chuck: Yeah, I guess you're right. Must be getting a little paranoid, huh?
Carla: Yeah.
Chuck: See you later. You know, I feel better already.
Carla: Bye-bye.
Sam: Bye.
[After Chuck leaves, everybody in the bar starts spraying and wiping down surfaces.]
Cliff: Sammy, he used the phone.
[After Sam tosses Norm an aerosol spray to give to Cliff, Carla throws Sam a cloth to pick up Chuck's glass without touching it]
Quote from Coach
Coach: I'm sorry, Lisa, but the time has come for me to put my foot in my mouth and tell you you cannot marry this man. I mean, you absolutely, positively cannot marry this man. Che una cosa impossibile.
Lisa: Daddy, I've never heard you talk like this before.
Coach: Well, now you have. And I'll tell you something, I don't like this guy Roy, and I don't like Charlie Spikes, and you can't marry either one of them.
Lisa: Look, Daddy, I'm not dumb. I know Roy's abrasive, I know he's insensitive, and I know he's probably only marrying me so he can get the Pennsylvania territory.
Coach: But why would you want to marry a man like this?
Lisa: Daddy, isn't it obvious to you?
Coach: Nothing's ever obvious to me.
Quote from Diane
Sam: Do you have a Mr. Right in mind, do you, Diane?
Diane: Well, I suppose I do. Every woman does.
Sam: What's he like?
Diane: Oh, come on.
Sam: No, come on, come on. Maybe I know the guy. Maybe I know him real well...
Diane: Well, for one thing, he would be very intelligent. Very well educated. Perhaps even over-educated, if there is such a thing. Not particularly athletic, perhaps even clumsy, but charmingly so. Blond, blue-eyed, with a Byron-like innocence.
Sam: Hey, now, I know this person. I know this person.
Diane: Who?
Sam: You. You just described yourself perfectly. I hope you'll be very happy together.
