Sam Quote #1344
Quote from Sam in Love Is a Really, Really, Perfectly Okay Thing
Cliff: You know, uh, Sam, we all feel kind of bad about what you're going through and as much as we live vicariously through you when you score, we also feel vicarious pain when you strike out.
Norm: So what's the deal? Are you gonna snap out of this by the weekend or do we have to go rent a Matt Helm movie?
Sam: I'm fine. Can we just drop the subject, please?
Frasier: Sam, is something troubling you? Do you need to talk to someone?
Sam: Yes, as a matter of fact, I do need to talk to someone. I need to talk to everybody here. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get this out here, but last night, in that office, Rebecca Howe and I had... Uh, a disagreement about those shelves I was telling you about. Uh, you know, I'm gonna put them up anyway. You know, what the heck. They'll be good for knickknacks and everything. I think they're gonna look, uh, fine. [exits]
Norm: Matt Helm never had to build shelves.

Quote from Cliff
Cliff: Well, fellows, that's the bell announcing Clavin's midmorning brain twister.
Carla: Oh, you going to get up and try to walk again?
Frasier: Is this going to be along the same lines as yesterday's little pearl? If the Lennon Sisters, the Maguire Sisters and the Andrew Sisters all came to a four-way stop, which would have the right-of-way?
Cliff: No, no, no, no. This one is, uh, based on historical fact. Now listen up. How would the Civil War have changed if Lincoln had had octopus tentacles instead of a beard?
Frasier: For God's sake, Cliff. There is no practical answer to that question.
Norm: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now we can assume that the Gettysburg Address would have been written on the back of eight envelopes.
Cliff: Very good. Very good answer, Normie.
Woody: Also, he could have disarmed John Wilkes Booth and still applauded the play.
Cliff: Now, in a related query, what if Herbert Hoover was able to expand his face like a blowfish?
Quote from Sam
Sam: I don't know. It's, like, maybe I was looking forward to it too much, you know? Like when you're really excited about a new movie. Like The Bad News Bears. Remember that? For weeks, people kept coming up and telling me what a great movie it was. But when I finally went to see it...
Rebecca: So it wasn't that great.
Sam: No, it's just Tatum O'Neal throwing a ball around.
Rebecca: Not that.
Sam: Oh, you mean us? I told you really, it was fine, honey.
Rebecca: Fine?! But it was a letdown, like The Bad News Bears.
Sam: No, it was... [sputters] much better than The Bad News Bears.
Quote from Rebecca
Rebecca: Sam, we have been friends for too long to let it end this way. And I just came back to say that I'm sorry I ran out earlier in a huff. And that I knew you weren't coming on to me, and that when you said I wasn't good, that it wasn't just some trick to get me back into bed, it was because you were being honest, because I am a lousy lover.
Sam: No, sweetheart, you're not lou-
Rebecca: No, Sam, it's all right. It's not like I haven't heard it before. I have to learn to accept it. You know, some people are bad at math. Some people can't skip.
Sam: No, no-
Rebecca: You're a fantastic lover. I am a dud and I know it. Robin just didn't realize it because he's English.
