Norm Quote #167

Quote from Norm in Coach Buries a Grudge

Cliff: You've been sitting here like a lump. You lost your zest for life here, Norm. We've had two overtimes already and you're playing motorboat in your beer.
Norm: I'm OK. It's just not the same since Vera's been out of town. I kind of miss having her around.
Sam: Where is she?
Norm: She went to visit her parents. Yeah, she's out there for a week in... Where the heck do they live? Somewhere- One of those rectangular states.
Sam: Why didn't you go with her?
Norm: Oh, her parents aren't too wild about me since I've been out of work.
Sam: Oh, come on.
Norm: No, they think I'm not trying, Sam. They got this crackpot idea that if I go out looking every day, and send resumes everywhere, make phone calls all the time, somehow, by magic, a job's just going to appear.
Cliff: Voodoo?
Norm: Really.

And like most immigrants, he was a human being. Human beings make mistakes. We're just not perfect. But I'll tell you what isn't a mistake. To love someone and to forgive them, no matter what his shortcomings. That's not a mistake. I loved that man... and I forgive him.
