Sam Quote #477
Quote from Sam in The Bartender's Tale
Sam: Carla, can I speak to you for a moment here? You remember that conversation we had a minute ago over there about me not going out with Carolyn? Can we just pretend that whole thing never took place?
Carla: You bet. I'll just go pack my stuff. Nice knowing you.
Sam: Now, listen. Come on. The lady is coming on to me. I mean, if I resist, I could damage some organs here.
Carla: I don't care. If you go out with her, I quit.
Sam: OK, all right, fine. There are millions of women on this planet. I can certainly forgo one of them. Kind of ironic, though, isn't it? That she's the most gorgeous one I've ever seen, but, hey, that's life. That's life.

Quote from Cliff
Norm: Who's the lovely lady Sam's talking to?
Carla: Another applicant for the waitress job.
Cliff: Eh, it isn't easy for him, probably, to find somebody to work for the wages he pays you, huh? [chuckles]
Carla: With tips I clear about 500 bucks a week, Clavin.
Cliff: That can't be right, is it?
Norm: I did her taxes.
Cliff: You mean to tell me that a Federal employee, entrusted with the most noble and vital service of our society, makes less money than some wench who serves beer to slobs on bar stools?
Norm: Makes sense to me, Cliffie. No, really, I could go up to three days or so without mail.
Quote from Sam
Lillian: Buck up, Sam. I'm sure it's all for the best. After all, you're young and not so schooled in the ways of love as l. Such a coupling could be fatal. Unfortunately, I've already had two husbands die in bed.
Sam: I'm sorry. What did they die of?
Lillian: [chuckles] You child.
Sam: Really?
Lillian: Yes, they fainted, which all my men do. But they never came to.
Sam: They fainted? You're saying that that's normal?
Lillian: Well, I don't want to gloat, but yes, it has been known.
Sam: Were these healthy guys to begin with?
Lillian: Well, they weren't athletes such as yourself, but they certainly weren't weaklings. And why do you ask?
Sam: Well, I was just thinking that maybe... No, no, you're right. You're absolutely right. Back to work.
Lillian: Yes, we must get back to work, Sam.
Sam: I don't want to beat this thing to death here, but when these guys went, were they, like, smiling?
Lillian: Ear to ear. And that was the grumpy one.
Quote from Sam
Sam: Lillian, I got a problem here. In the past I've gotten into trouble with my waitresses by getting romantically involved with them. Now, you are a fantastic waitress. I do not want to do anything to lose you.
Lillian: Don't say another word. I understand you completely.
Sam: You do?
Lillian: Of course.
Sam: Hey, thank you. I just wanted to... Well, I just wanted to get your approval first.
Lillian: Oh, Sam, how can you be so civilized when your very blood is boiling? [hugs Sam] Don't you think I haven't been feeling the same urges? Don't you think I haven't felt the same unconquerable chemistry? Don't you think denying ourselves hasn't been as treacherous for me as it has for you. That is what you meant, isn't it?
Sam: You bet. No, no, this whole thing just kind of snuck up on me, that's all.
Lillian: Well, I won't pretend this hasn't happened to me before. Spend any amount of time in a man's presence and I send out a sort of... Well, let's face it... erotic signals.
