Diane Quote #403
Quote from Diane in The Executive's Executioner
Sam: Do you mind? I know what you're talking about. You know, it's always hard to fire people. Of course, I always give my waitresses the benefit of a severance boink.
Diane: That or the money equivalent, $1.14.
Sam: As I recall, you were always after an advance.
Diane: Oh, Sam. You're always bringing that up, trying to relive those few precious weeks with the only woman you ever dated who knew how to spell your name.
Sam: As I recall, you used to spell it E-X-T-A-S-Y.
Diane: You got the "X" right. And it's going to stay that way.
Norm: Would you two mind if we moved on to something a little more interesting than your star-crossed romance, please?
Carla: Come on, Norm. What could be more interesting than another gripping episode of "The Young and the Chestless"?

Quote from Norm
Norm: [enters] Evening, everybody.
All: Norm!

Norm: Call me Mr. Lucky, huh?
Quote from Norm
Norm: Oh, my God! That's my boss. He saw me slip out early. He's come here to find me.
Diane: You got here the same time you always do.
Norm: I know. I always leave early. I refuse to be one of those little, cowardly clock-watchers, Diane. As soon as my supervisor turns his head, I always slip out the heating duct.
Diane: How would he know you're here?
Norm: The company's full of spies. They know everything about you.
Diane: Really?
Norm: Yeah, they know everything about you. They even keep track of your sex habits. Thank God I don't have any.
Quote from Norm
Mr. Hecht: Peterson, we've been making some organizational changes in the company. And starting tomorrow, we want you to be our corporate killer.
Norm: The guy who fires people?
Mr. Hecht: That's right. You see, we decided that terminating employees puts too much stress on our executives. We think you'll be perfect.
Norm: Why me?
Mr. Hecht: Because studies have shown that it's particularly humiliating when you're fired by somebody who is clearly and markedly superior to yourself. And that just wouldn't be the case with you, Norman. You see, you're just an ordinary Joe. As a matter of fact, we checked out your home life. You have absolutely nothing anyone could possibly envy or resent.
Norm: I'm honored, sir. But this sounds like a horrible job, frankly.
Mr. Hecht: It's a 300% raise and if you don't take it, you're fired.
Norm: Sir, I will have you know that I cannot be bought and I cannot be threatened, but you put the two together and I'm your man.
