Norm Quote #688

Quote from Norm in The Stork Brings a Crane

Woody: Look at that baby go. "The Wabash Cannonball."
Cliff: Yes, sir, with two mail cars... [train whistle]... serving the citizens of this great land, Woody.
Norm: Cliffy, come on, man. I laid track for you, I helped you with the wiring. When do I get to handle the controls?
Cliff: When I think you're good and ready there, young man.
Woody: That's right, Mr. Peterson. When we think you're good and ready. Hey, Carla, check this out. Mr. Clavin came up with a great idea for this railroad I think you're really going to like.
Carla: Does it involve tying him to the tracks with a stick of dynamite in his mouth?
Cliff: Now look, Carla, this baby is a great labor-saving device. You'll see. Now, why don't you just sit right on over there and pretend that you're a customer?
Woody: So, what will you have, Missy?
Carla: Gee, I love role playing. May I have a beer, please, Mr. Bartender?
Woody: One brew coming right up!
[Woody places the beer on an flatbed carriage and Cliff sends the train running down the bar]
Cliff: All right, now, Norm, take heed here. It takes a steady hand to man the throttle.
Norm: Yeah, but it only takes one finger to throw a switch.
[After Norm presses a button, the train switches from a track heading to Carla to a dead-end that sees the beer stop in front Norm]
Norm: Last stop. Everybody off.

Quote from Lilith

Frasier: Oh, look, his first smile.
Lilith: Darling face. As much as we would like to believe otherwise, we both know that newborn infants are incapable of revealing emotion through facial expression. It's probably just gas.
Both: Oh, his first gas!

Quote from Lilith

Frasier: I can't believe we have a son. But, Lilith, when did all this happen?
Lilith: After the doctor discharged me, I looked for you, couldn't find you, so I took a cab. I gave birth in the back seat. The cabbie was nice enough to let me bite down on one of his foam rubber dice.
Frasier: Oh, my precious angel. You were so brave.
Lilith: The only problem was that every time I pushed, my feet kept opening the back door into traffic.
Frasier: The greatest moment of my life, and I missed it. You must want to kill me.
Lilith: Now, Frasier, now is not the time for reproaches. Now is the time to rejoice. The reproaches can come tomorrow and for the next 50 years.
Frasier: Is it any wonder I love you so?

Quote from Cliff

Rebecca: See? This is really going to be big. You know, I'm going to call Mayor Flynn's office and see if they'll designate Cheers a landmark. I just wish I had an in with him.
Cliff: In? Well, I've been corresponding with his Honor for about a year now. Every week, I just write him a little missive. You know, talking about the running of our fair city. You might want to mention my name.
Rebecca: Right, Cliff. And when I speak to President Bush, I'll remember you to him, too.
Cliff: Ah, don't bother. We're not on speaking terms. He forgot to send me a "thank you" for the inaugural fruitcake I sent him.
