Quote from Norm in Norm's First Hurrah

Norm: Diane! It's- It's gone!
Diane: What's gone?
Norm: Well, my proposal and my career. The pastry!
Diane: Oh, no.
Thompkins: [o.s.] f my plan is implemented immediately, we'll enjoy a 58% growth in cash flow. And we'll achieve it no later than the third quarter of the next fiscal year.
Norm: Thompkins. The thief.
Diane: Get in there and defend yourself.
Norm: Damn right I will.
Man: [o.s.] Thompkins, you idiot! You've completely ignored the obvious. Our resulting tax liability would cost us a fortune.
Thompkins: Uh, actually, sir, it's not my plan. It's the new guy, Peterson's, you see...
Man: [o.s.] Don't try blaming another man for this garbage. Now stop wasting our time and get back to work.
Thompkins: Just my luck. I had to share the office with a moron.
Norm: Hey, sorry.
Man: I'll give him this, though. The man knows his pastry.

Quote from Sam

Diane: Well, how can you compare Disneyworld and Tibet, where we might possibly unravel the mysteries of life?
Sam: Well, there, there are lots of mysteries you can unravel at Disneyworld.
Diane: For example?
Sam: Um, all right, all right, uh, why is it that, uh, Donald Duck wears a top and no bottom, whereas Mickey wears a bottom and no top?
Cliff: Oh, Sammy, it, it's because, you know, uh, a duck's privates are hidden by their feathers and mouse's is, uh, well, need I say more?

Sam: Oh, now, whoa, wait, are you trying to tell me that Mickey...

Quote from Norm

Diane: Now, Norman. Please. Now don't let this faze you. You have to keep pushing. I know that this idea didn't succeed, but others will.
Norm: No, no, Diane. A few moments ago, I almost made the biggest mistake of my professional life, okay? And it was because I was doing something that just wasn't me. I am not a go-getter. I've never been a go-getter. And what's more, I don't even want to be a go-getter. I'm very happy right where I am. And I'm tired of all these people saying, "Peterson, you've gotta push. You gotta get ahead. You gotta make that goal." I don't even wanna make the goal, Diane. I wanna be a bench warmer, okay? The world needs bench warmers. I mean, if there were no bench warmers, what would we have? We'd have cold benches. A lot of cold benches. And the world does not need that, Diane. In this great pageantry of life, Norm Peterson may be a, a motionless lump, but he's a very damn good one.
Diane: Norman, I've never seen you so impassioned.
Norm: That's 'cause I believe in this, Diane. Look, Norm Peterson is totally happy being an anonymous cog in the gigantic machinery of this firm.
Supervisor: Oh, I forgot. Didn't you wanna say something at the meeting?
Norm: Just how delighted I was to be part of the firm, sir.
Supervisor: Well, we're glad to have you aboard, Springsteen.
Norm: I'm home.
