Coach Quote #154
Quote from Coach in Manager Coach
Coach: Listen. When I was a kid in school just about your age, I had this teacher, a real mean guy, guy named Mr. Spires. He always wanted me to learn the Pledge of Allegiance. And one day in assembly hall, he had me say it in front of the whole school. I'd stayed up the whole night before trying to learn it. But when I got up on that stage, I drew a complete blank. I was lost. And this Mr. Spires guy says, "Nobody in this auditorium is going to leave until Pantusso remembers." I stood there... It seemed like forever, with everybody laughing at me. It was probably the worst day of my life. [long silence]
Sam: And the point, Coach, is that you finally did learn the Pledge of Allegiance?
Coach: No, Sam, I never learned it.
Sam: Yeah, but you respected Mr. Spires for trying to help you.
Coach: No, I hated his guts, Sam.
Sam: But looking back on it now, you respect him for it?
Coach: No, no. He died and I was glad he died.
Diane: Thank you, Coach. I'm sure the guys enjoyed that inspiring story.

Quote from Norm
Norm: A loan application?
Cliff: That's right. It's a loan we're talking about, not a hand-out.
Norm: I don't want this kind of humiliation, all right? I mean, I wouldn't be asking for this unless I really needed it.
Cliff: All right, Norm, I gotcha. Just kidding around here.
Norm: This is gonna go a long way to pay a lot of bills. You know, I really should think of something nice for Vera, too.
Cliff: Hey, Norm, how about a candlelit dinner for two?
Norm: Great. Come on. We'll talk about Vera later.
Quote from Carla
Carla: Where do you stand on breast-feeding?
Sam: As I recall, I liked it.
Carla: No. I mean me with my baby in here.
Sam: Well, Carla, I guess it's cheaper than a piano player.
Carla: Look, Sammy, I'm just tired of having to run home to feed her all the time during my shift. I should have done like I did with all my other kids.
Sam: You mean you didn't breast-feed the other four?
Carla: Nah, they went right to raw meat.
Quote from Coach
Sam: How about doing the honors?
Coach: Sure. Fellas, this is Sam Mayday Malone. Probably the greatest relief pitcher baseball ever knew. Then he hit the bottle and he was through in less than a year. Remember that.
