Diane Quote #718
Quote from Diane in A House Is Not a Home
Diane: Sam, every time I look at that place, I can't help but think about that poor, old couple, shambling away from their house, wishing they could spend one last Christmas there with their family.
Frasier: Well, then why not just give them one last Christmas there, if that's what they want? But rid yourself of the guilt you feel by robbing them of the last few happy memories left them.
Sam: Oh, you know, that- that's the screwiest idea I've ever heard.
Diane: No, Sam, he's right. We- We'll- We'll call the Millers and all their children, and we'll plan a Christmas party. Oh, Sam, it'll make the transition easier for them and for me.
Sam: Well, what are we supposed to do until December? Bunk out with Ma Clavin?
Diane: No, I mean, we'll do it now. This year, Christmas comes next week. Oh, huh? Oh, it'll be fun.
Woody: Oh, gee, I hate it when they change holidays around just to make a three-day weekend.

Norm: Cliffie, uh, that sounds a little bit like your house.

Sam: I'm not- l'm not ready to own a home. It's a you- You got to work up to that.

Frasier: Norm, you should be ashamed of yourself.
