Quote from Norm in How to Marry a Mailman

Robin: I have a date with Miss Howe.
Woody: Oh, she'll be right out. Can I get you something?
Robin: Yes, I'll have a brandy... Louis XIII.
Woody: Anything for your friend?
Robin: No. He's driving.
Norm: [clears throat] Excuse me, Mr. Colcord? How do you do, sir? Remember me... Norm Peterson?
Robin: Of course. I never forget a face. You never know when a name and face may be significant in life.
Cliff: There you go. You remember me... Cliff Clavin?
Robin: Excuse me?
Norm: We were wondering, sir, when you were growing up back in England, did you get that American TV show called The Millionaire?
Robin: Uh, no, I'm sorry. I missed that. But we did get Lucy.
Cliff: Lucy! Now, there's a classic! But getting back to this Millionaire show.
Robin: I loved Bilko.
Norm: Oh, yeah.
Cliff: "Hey, Doberman, get in that Jeep!"
Norm: Anyway, this Millionaire show is is about a guy named J. Beresford Tipton, and, uh, he was an incredibly nice guy. He had tons of bucks.
Cliff: Yeah, he used to just pick people at random and give them a million dollars!
Robin: Really?
Norm: Yeah, yeah, tax free.
Cliff: Isn't that something?
Norm: Right. The thing that I didn't understand about that show was he used to give it away to strangers. It would've made so much most sense to me, and you'd probably agree with me, if he would've come to people, say, in a bar and said, "Here you are, just have a million bucks."
Cliff: Makes sense.
Robin: Yes, I could see how that could be very rewarding.
Cliff: Sure. Sure it would.
Rebecca: I'm ready!
Robin: I don't have any cash.
Norm: I got it!
Cliff: No, no, no. Cliff Clavin will buy this one. Clifford Clavin's got it, sir.
Norm: I've got a job, I'll pay for it.
Cliff: All right, Woody, how much I owe you here for the man's drink?
Woody: 75 bucks.
Norm: [to Cliff] You got it.

Quote from Cliff

Carla: Hey, Clavin, why don't you wise up? She's probably just coming over here to dump you. By the way, if I'm in the back room when she comes, would somebody call me?
