Cliff Quote #471
Quote from Cliff in Please Mr. Postman
Sam: Uh, Cliff, Cliff. Wait a minute, man. Give this some thought. Think about what you're doing here.
Cliff: I know what you guys are doing, and I appreciate it, but there's nothing you could do or say that would make me change my mind.
Woody: [sings] Fearless men who jump and die Men who mean just what they say The brave men of the Green Beret. [all hum "Ballad of The Green Beret"] Margaret, you're a fine woman, but I can't leave my country. My place is here, in America. I can't leave my home. Can't you, can't you stay here with me?
Margaret: I'm a mail carrier, Cliff. I have to deliver the mail.
Cliff: I understand. [humming continues]
Margaret: But Cliff, it'll be so terrible. I'll... I'll be so cold and all alone. Who will keep me warm?
Cliff: You'll do fine, Margaret. Women have that extra layer of fat. Carry on, O'Keefe.
Margaret: I'll never forget you, Cliff Clavin. [kisses him] Good-bye.
Guys: [sing] 100 men will test one day [Cliff joins in] But only three wear the Green Beret.

‘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.
