Sam Quote #272

Quote from Sam in No Help Wanted

Sam: Listen, listen, listen. There are two areas of my life that I don't want anyone to touch. Now, I've already told you about one of them.
Diane: And I didn't.
Sam: No, I know. You've been very good about that. The other area is my business. Now, I worked very hard to get this bar and it's been a struggle to keep it. Now you've got me committed to turning my books over to a dishwasher.
Diane: He's not a dishwasher. He's an accountant and he's a friend.
Sam: Yeah, you're right, he's my friend. But how do I know he's a good accountant? He hasn't been hired for over a year. There must be some reason.
Diane: That just means he's highly motivated to do a good job. Besides, you only need to keep him on long enough to get his pride back.

Quote from Diane

Diane: Sam, now, it's true, hiring Norman has emotional overtones. But without emotions, the mind becomes a stagnant pond. And let's face it, in your case, we're not exactly dealing with white water rapids in the first place.

All: Norm!

Quote from Coach

Coach: You know, Sam, every time I hear A Foggy Day In London Town, I think of my wife.
Sam: Oh, was that your song, Coach?
Coach: No, but Sinatra sang that and it always reminds me of that movie From Here To Eternity.
Cliff: Oh, you took her to see it on your first date, Coach?
Coach: No, that movie reminds me of Hawaii.
Diane: Oh, you and your wife met in Hawaii?
Coach: No, I've never been to Hawaii, Diane. Neither has Wally Engels.
Cliff: I'll take it. Coach, who's Wally Engels?
Coach: An old pal of mine in the navy. He introduced me to my wife.
All: Ah.
Sam: Boy, that's some memory you've got there, Coach.
Coach: Yeah, Sam. [Moon River plays on the radio]
Man: Ah, that song brings back great memories.
Coach: Oh, yeah, really? What?
Man: They were playing it the day my daughter got married.
Coach: Yeah?
Man: That's all.
Coach: We sure get 'em in here, don't we, Sam?
