Sam Quote #621

Quote from Sam in Cliffie's Big Score

Diane: Clifford, I've been thinking.
Cliff: Oh, yeah, you can't go, huh, Diane? Hey, I understand.
Diane: Honestly, you're so insecure. I was going to say that I thought of the perfect dress to wear. Sassy little strapless number, very graceful for dancing. With my hair up and a hint of jewelry to catch the eye. I'm going to make you very proud.
Cliff: Now what, Sammy?
Sam: Yeah, this is a tough one. Yeah, if Carla finds out you asked Diane first, you're gonna be dead before you hit the ground. Hey, hold on a minute. All you gotta do is, you gotta find Carla another date. Someone better than you.
Cliff: Hey, Sammy, Sammy, you are a genius.
Sam: Well, thank you. Oh, yeah, listen. When you talk to her about the guy, be vague. Be general. Don't get locked into anybody specific.

Quote from Sam

Woody: [answers phone] Cheers. Yes, ma'am, right away. [to Carla] There's some lady screaming her head off.
Carla: What does she want?
Woody: I don't know. All I could make out was "two-timing."
Carla: Sam, telephone. Woody, listen up and learn something.
Sam: [takes the phone] Sammy here. Oh, hey, I thought you'd like those flowers. Yeah. No, no, that sounds like my note. "Thanks for a wonderful evening, Barbara. I had a great time." Well, of course I know your name's Karen. You know, hey, I see your mistake here. You see, you didn't realize that, to me, Barbara means Karen. Well, because... Because... Because "Barbara" reminds me of Barbra Streisand, and you know that song about people? Well, I am getting to it. You know the line, "First be a person who needs people"? Well, who was the first person? Yeah, all right, but the first female person was Eve. And who's the most famous Eve of all, but Christmas Eve, right? Yeah, well, what do you do on Christmas Eve, but you go caroling. Right? No, I know, your name's not Carolyn. But after you go caroling, what you do is, you Karen the gifts. Karen. Yeah. Well, apology accepted, sweetheart. I'll talk to you later.

Quote from Sam

Sam: Come on. Obviously, it means a lot to him. All he wants to do is be seen with a classy-looking chick.
Diane: Oh, I don't know, Sam. Look at all the people who've fallen hopelessly in love with me, with only the slightest encouragement. You, Frasier...
Sam: Yourself.
