Quote from Norm in Don't Paint Your Chickens

Norm: [phone ringing] Now, what is it about Rebecca's history that makes me think this is going to be bad news? [answers phone] 4-A Painting. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I knew that. Yeah, well, thanks, anyway. [hangs up] Damn, damn, damn.
Cliff: What's the matter, Norm?
Norm: Well, that was the developer. They signed with their painters and we're out.
Cliff: So, uh you gonna chase Rebecca down before she quits her job?
Norm: I guess I really should, huh?
Cliff: But then again, she hates her job, so, well, well, is it gonna be that bad if they can her?
Norm: Maybe you're right. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
Cliff: I don't know, just find somebody else to run the bar, that's all.
Norm: Right. Oh, my God. My bar tab could fall into the wrong hands. [finds Sam laying in the doorway] Sammy, nice socks, man.

Carla: You were the best kisser-upper? Gee, what does that trophy look like?

Rebecca: Wait a minute. Here we have a man who doesn't know how to promote his business. And here we have a woman who knows everything about promotion, but has never really been given a chance. Now, if I can turn a beer-guzzling nobody into a successful businessman, then those guys down there at corporate will see that I can do anything.
Norm: Uh, much as I love your pitch, Rebecca, uh, I'm not comfortable working with friends.

Norm: Nah, nah, I'd rather work by myself.
Rebecca: Okay, fine, Norm, fine. I'll just go back to what I was doing. Going over these delinquent bar accounts. Whoa. Now there's a rather huge one in the "P" section.
Norm: [sighs] Welcome to Team Peterson.

Sam: Or a butterfly.
Cliff: Uh, it looks like my parents having a screaming argument on my third birthday when I pretended to be asleep but wasn't. Or a butterfly.
