Sam Quote #75
Quote from Sam in Endless Slumper
Diane: What's wrong?
Sam: He lost it a week ago in Kansas City. He was putting off telling me about it.
Diane: Kansas City. One town I've always wanted to see. Huh? We'll jump on a plane... Oh, well, what's the difference? Easy come, easy go, huh? Come on, Sam. Let's get out. [Sam slaps the wooden frame of the bar]
Sam: Go home. Diane...
Diane: I tell you what. Even better. Let's just talk, you know?
Sam: What are you gonna tell me that I haven't heard a hundred times, huh?
Diane: Oh, come on, Sam. It's important that you not be here tonight, huh? You don't wanna be in a bar.
Sam: Where am I gonna be tomorrow night, and the next, and the day after, huh? I'm gonna be in a bar.
Diane: But you're gonna feel better tomorrow.
Sam: No. No, I'm gonna feel better tonight.
Diane: Here's an idea. Why don't you watch me get drunk? I'll get real sick... Sam, no-
Sam: Don't. Just don't.
[Sam uncaps a beer, pours it into a glass and stares at it. He slides it down, around the bar and picks up the cap.]
Sam: I guess I gave the wrong one to Rick, huh?

Quote from Sam
Sam: Oh, I believe you had a question there.
Diane: Ah, well, I guess It isn't important now. It's just that I know this bottle cap has nothing to do with baseball and I was sort of hoping that you'd tell me what it's all about.
Sam: I know- I know you've been curious. I didn't wanna tell you the real situation cos you'll think I'm silly.
Diane: Well, would it ease your mind at all if I told you I already think you're silly?
Sam: Yeah. That might help a little bit. You see, that, uh, little bottle cap keeps me from drinking. Silly, huh?
Diane: You don't hear it speaking, do you?
Sam: Well, nothing beyond an occasional little small talk. It is a very little bottle cap.
Diane: All right. I'll bite. How does it keep you from drinking, just out of curiosity?
Sam: It's the cap off the last bottle of beer I ever drank, the last anything I ever drank. I remember holding onto that bottle cap during some pretty rough nights. I mean, I'd wake up in the morning and I'd have its imprint in my palm. It was flat cos I was squeezing it so hard. When I was tempted to have a drink, sometimes I'd look at the bottle cap and it would stop me.
Diane: That's a pretty great little bottle cap, huh?
Sam: You wanna know something really crazy? The last couple of nights, I've really had an urge to have a drink.
