Norm Quote #703
Quote from Norm in The Art of the Steal
Cliff: Hey, Normy, watch my wallet, will you? I got to go see a man about a horse.
Woody: Look at this! Pumpkin seeds are up to 9 cents a pound! This world is going crazy.
Norm: Yeah, I know what you mean, Wood. The dollar ain't worth what it used to be.
Woody: Well, I don't understand. How can a dollar be worth less than a dollar?
Norm: Well, perhaps I can illustrate using one of Cliff's bills here. Ah! Think of this, Woody, as the 1975 dollar, OK?
Carla: It's probably been in that wallet since 1975.
Norm: Now, taking account of inflation [tears off part of the note], OK, the high cost of living [tears again], increased dollars in circulation [tears again], increased buying power of that pesky yen [tears again], and all you have left is a little bit of George Washington's left eye.
Carla: Well, wait a minute, now. Would the same thing apply to, oh... Say, a 20 dollar bill?
Norm: Ah, macroeconomics. Yeah, perhaps we'll just try it and see... The same principles.
Carla: OK, inflation... [tears dollar]
Norm: Uh-huh.
Carla: Cost of living... [tears again]

Quote from Carla
Rebecca: So, he's coming in town tonight, I haven't seen him for a month, and I don't know... You know, I really need some help here. Now, you've got a reputation of being uninhibited, lowdown, dirty, perverted...
Carla: You should have known me when I was a real slut.
Rebecca: Let me ask you a question. What is the wildest thing you ever did to really get a guy's attention?
Carla: Well, now... Let me see. There was the time I was making love to a guy on a carousel.
Rebecca: Where? An amusement park?
Carla: No, LaGuardia Airport. Want to give it a try?
Quote from Norm
Frasier: So Cliff's the thimble. I'm the race car. What do you want to be, Norm?
Norm: I'll be the lead pipe, I guess.
Frasier: I don't remember any lead pipe in Monopoly, or this Chinese checker, or these Candyland children. What is this?
Norm: Well, you know, over the years, we've sort of lost parts from the original game, so we mix and match from others.
Frasier: Well, all right. Give me the dice.
Norm: All right. [hands Frasier two large, fuzzy, purple dice]
Quote from Cliff
Frasier: Say, where's Sam off to?
Carla: He's off to a luxury apartment to meet a naked woman.
Cliff: Boy, that guy leads a pretty exciting life compared to us, huh?
Norm: Cliffy, compared to ours, a tapeworm leads a pretty exciting life.
Cliff: You know, I happen to be a bit of an expert on tapeworms. It all goes back to my eighth grade science fair. Everybody else had rabbits and Guinea pigs. I had a tapeworm.
Norm: Really?
Cliff: Yeah, so I couldn't go. Or was that a ringworm?
Norm: Check, please.
Cliff: Uh... Oh, boy, oh, boy. Me and parasites, don't get me started.
