Sam Quote #157
Quote from Sam in Showdown, Part 1
Sam: Sit down. Sit down. See, what they were talking about out there is, uh, I used to have this problem with my brother, Derek. It was kind of a... What do you call it? an inferiority complex. But that was a long time ago, and I conquered it. Here it is. Yeah, this is the guy that used to make me feel like nothing.
Diane: Wow.
Sam: Wow, what?
Diane: Well, he's very nice-looking. He'd be even better if he had his two front teeth.
Sam: No, I blacked those out myself. That was before I got over my problem. See, the interesting thing is I didn't go to any psychiatrists. I didn't read any fancy books. I just sat myself down and said, "Hey, my brother's no better than I am."
Diane: I'm sure you're right. What's he do for a living?
Sam: He's an international lawyer.
Diane: Oh, wow.
Sam: Hey, it so happens I come from a very intelligent family. Yeah, I guess Derek does OK for himself. He must make 50, 60 grand a year.
Diane: Oh, are you kidding? Those guys make 10 times that much.
Sam: Wow. Yeah, but it's the job. Last year he traveled so much, he had to buy his own plane. What kind of life is that?
Diane: The poor wretch.

Quote from Carla
Sam: Yeah, Derek's always been like that, always had to have the spotlight, had to be the center of attention.
Carla: Yeah, well, you know if it's any consolation to you, Sam, I know how you feel. I got a sister who's got me beat in every way. She's five foot two, her husband never has a drink until noon, and she's a beautician. How do you compete with that? But after a while I said to myself, "To hell with her. I'm me."
Sam: What you're trying to say is I'm as good as my brother?
Carla: You kidding? You're not even as good as my sister. But I still like you best, Sam.
Quote from Coach
Carla: Coach?
Coach: Si?
Carla: Did you know Sam has a brother?
Coach: Of course I know he had a brother. He hates him.
Carla: Why does he hate him?
Coach: He was cruel to him. When Sam was a kid, he used to shove his head underwater. Hey, wait a minute. That was my brother. Come to think of it, that was my head.
Quote from Sam
Diane: You know what your problem is, Mr. Malone? You are afraid of your feelings.
Sam: I am not afraid of my feelings. I don't have any feelings about this. Whatever you and my brother Derek want to do is OK with me. I don't care.
Diane: Fine.
Sam: Please don't go.
Diane: What? What did you say?
Sam: I said I have no feelings about this.
Diane: No, no, after that. You said something. It sounded like "Please don't go."
Sam: Please don't go? Are you crazy? Diane, you gotta get over this egotism of yours. Go. Go, with my blessings. Go. Have a good time, really. Please stay here.
Diane: Wait a minute. What was that? There at the end you said something.
Sam: Come on, you're hallucinating. Would you get outta here and have a good time, please? Go on, go on.
Diane: OK, I'm glad you understand.
Sam: If you go, I'll die.
Diane: What?! I heard you say something.
Sam: Oh, come on, you're coming unglued. Please go. Have fun.
Diane: OK, I'll go.
Sam: There you go.
Diane: Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go freshen up. I'd rather stay with you.
Sam: What? What did you say?
Diane: I didn't hear anything.
