Coach Quote #238
Quote from Coach in I'll Be Seeing You, Part 2
Coach: [v.o.] Hi, my name's Ernie Pantusso and I'm supposed to tell you what happened last week on Cheers. Well, I'm good at explaining things because I used to be a baseball coach. Here, let me illustrate. Now, you may remember me from my playing days in the minors. I still hold the league record for the most times hit by a pitch. That's as good as a hit. Anyway, where was l? Oh, last week on Cheers, this fellow Semenko came into the bar. He's a very famous artist. While he was here, this Semenko fella saw Diane and he got an idea. He decided to paint her picture. He thought she was special about her puss. Diane loved the idea because she'd heard of this fella and she thought he was good. And as you all know, Diane's very smart. Well, the trouble is, when Sam met this artist, Semenko, he hated him. He told him he couldn't paint Diane's picture and he told him to get out of the place. Semenko started to go and Sam left the room. Diane pretended to go along, but then Diane went behind Sam's back. Hey, wait a minute. This is starting to look like a diagram for our old double steal. the runner on first breaks for second, and the runner on second breaks for third. Or if second and third are occupied, the runner on second breaks for third and the man on third goes home. The batter hits the ball to the opposite field, which means the field plays to home plate. Now, wait a minute. I'm sorry. This isn't the double steal at all. These are directions to my daughter's house. No, I'm wrong again. She moved. Or did she? Anyway, Diane was going behind Sam's back.
[flashback to Diane and Phillip Semenko talking in the previous episode]
Coach: [v.o.] Listen, I don't know about you, but I'm worried. I can't remember where my daughter lives. Oh, well, you're up-to-date. Let's see, it's somewhere in New England. Something Lane or Drive.
‘I'll Be Seeing You, Part 2’ Quotes
Quote from Sam
Diane: I don't want anything to distract you from your enjoyment of this painting. When you see it, you'll understand and forgive.
Sam: What happens if I hate it?
Diane: You know you're going to love it. Because in the last six months, you've come so far and made so much progress.
Sam: You know, you sound like you're talking about a chimp. I just push the right buttons and out pops a banana?
Diane: That's a ludicrous comparison. There isn't a chimp alive who could keep up with you.
Sam: You know, you always do this. I really hate when you do this. You tell poor Sam what he should like, what he shouldn't like, how he should walk, how he should talk, what fork he should use with soup and salad. I know. I know. You don't use a fork with soup. I just said you use a fork with soup. It was a mistake. Please do not say, "You don't use a fork with soup." If you do nothing else for me for the rest of your life, do not say, "You don't use a fork with soup."
Diane: My God, Sam. I've made you a babbling idiot.
Sam: Who are you calling a babbling idiot, huh?
Diane: Don't get upset. I'm actually criticizing myself.
Sam: You just called me a babbling idiot and you're criticizing yourself? Do me a favor. Let me criticize me for a while. You're sickening.
Quote from Diane
Diane: I want you to know something. Ever since we've known each other, I've said to myself, "One day, we are going to get down to the real you." Well, we did it. Do you know what the difference is between you and a fat, braying ass?
Sam: Nope.
Diane: The fat, braying ass would.
Sam: Speaking of fat, braying asses, you're about to get dumped on yours.
