Cliff Quote #460
Quote from Cliff in Please Mr. Postman
Margaret: Permission to speak freely, sir?
Cliff: Permission granted.
Margaret: I requested you as my trainer because I want to learn hard and I want to learn right. I want to be the best carrier in the department, next to you, of course. Because I love the post office more than my life itself.
Carla: Good grief, there's another one.
Margaret: The post office is in my blood; my father was a carrier, and his father before him. It's been a life-long dream of mine to wear the eagle on my sleeve and to be a part of the few, the proud...
Carla: The undateable.
Cliff: Oh, your attitude is commendable there, O'Keefe. Look, I think you better mosey on home now and grab some shuteye. You're going to need plenty of sleep. Tomorrow is TV Guide day.
Margaret: I'll do you proud, sir.
Cliff: Yeah, we'll see about that. [Margaret leaves] Is it my imagination, or was that woman coming on to me?
Norm: Cliffie, Walt Disney should have had your imagination.

‘Please Mr. Postman’ Quotes
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: You know, Sam, there's one way to get Rebecca that you've overlooked.
Sam: Hold that self-respect thought. What do you got?
Frasier: You see, it's been psychologically documented that all human animals have a neurotic hair-trigger response to at least one of the five sensory stimuli. Well, it could be anything, actually. Oh, it's the sound of the surf pounding against the shore, the smell of honeysuckle on a warm summer night, the taste of a vintage Chateauneuf du Pape, fire-red fingernails dancing through your chest hair... a black lace teddy straining against its fleshy cargo.
Sam: Frasier, man, snap out of it.
Frasier: In a minute, Sam.
Quote from Cliff
Cliff: Woody, a bottle of bubbly, tout de suite.
Norm: All right, Cliffie's in a celebrating mood. That hearing must have gone pretty well, huh?
Cliff: Perfect, Norm. Margaret was completely exonerated.
Norm: You really snowed 'em, huh?
Cliff: Like a blizzard in Buffalo, my friend. Yeah, I told the supervisor that we were set upon by some armed thugs who then commandeered the vehicle and took it for a joyride.
Norm: A joyride in a mail truck? Cliffie, I've beaten those things on foot.
Carla: Clavin, what's come over you? I mean you're lying to your superiors, you're breaking rules, you're covering up. It's almost like you're developing a personality.
Cliff: Well, Carla, the King of England abdicated his throne for the love of a good woman. The least I could do is tell a little fib. Well, as we say down at the post office, here's looking up your address.
Quote from Cliff
Norm: Uh-oh, Cliff, greenhorn alert.
Margaret: Excuse me, Cliff Clavin?
Cliff: I am.
Margaret: I'm your trainee, Margaret O'Keefe.
Cliff: Straighten up, O'Keefe. You're in uniform. I wasn't informed you were a woman.
Margaret: Sorry, sir.
Cliff: Well, no offense, sister, but I just don't believe that women belong in the trenches. I mean, they're fine for sorting mail or selling stamps, but when you're lugging a 40-pound sack up a hill with a Nor'easter hitting you right smack in the kisser, you don't have time to fret about going home and soaking your delicates.
Margaret: I wear cotton briefs, sir.
Cliff: That'll be enough of that, O'Keefe.
