Norm Quote #461
Quote from Norm in Norm's First Hurrah
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.

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.
