Diane Quote #186

Quote from Diane in Sumner's Return

Sam: Hey, I'm not an idiot. You didn't tell him about me because you're ashamed of me. You're afraid I'm going to embarrass you or something.
Diane: I'm not ashamed of you. Sam, you've got to understand. I have always been intimidated by that man myself. He thinks everyone is beneath him. You make a mental mistake around him, he's merciless. I was trying to protect you.
Sam: You're saying I'm too dumb to associate with your friends and I think that stinks. Another thing. You're as much of a snob as he is, you know that?
Diane: You're right. I'm going to call Sumner right now and tell him you will be my date Saturday night. You're my fella. And I'm proud of it, Sam.

Quote from Cliff

Sam: You know, Diane's right. I'm gonna embarrass her.
Cliff: Sammy, believe it or not, I think I have a simple solution to all this. Look, he's a literature professor, right?
Sam: Yeah, right.
Cliff: War And Peace is the greatest novel. You read it between now and Saturday, right? Drop in a few comments over dinner. You're off to the races.
Sam: "War And Peace"? This is a good book?
Cliff: Oh, yeah. They say the first 800 pages are a bit slow but it shoots off after that.
Sam: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second. What are talking about? I've got five days. How long is this book?
Cliff: Well, I've delivered a few for the book clubs and it's about three-and-a-half pounds paperback.
Coach: Forget it, Sam. Nobody can read four ounces a day.

Quote from Norm

Sam: Oh, it's you guys. I thought it was Diane. Turn on the lights, will ya?

Sam: Would you give me just a few minutes here? I've almost got it finished. What time is it?

Norm: 8:05.

Quote from Sam

Sumner: Sam, sit down. You're creating a stir.
Sam: Hey, come on. Come on. I know what's been going on all evening. I mean, this stuff about Barbara being sick is a bunch of baloney. You set it up here to get your big fan back. Well, you got her. Way to go, guy.
Diane: Sam, please.
Sam: No, it's okay. It's all right. I see it all very clearly now. I got you on the rebound. You were just slumming with me between PhDs. Well, he's come for you. Go with him.
Diane: Sam.
Sam: I'll tell you something else, too. Before I read War And Peace again in five days just to impress some broad, it's gonna be a cold day in Minsk.
