Norm Quote #1028
Quote from Norm in The King of Beers
Mr. Hoffmeyer: Norm, I hear you're doing excellent work for us.
Norm: Thank you very much, sir. [sighs] Nice pants. [chuckles] I can't believe I just said that. Look, I'm not trying to kiss up, sir. I take back what I said about those pants, okay? Not that they're not nice pants. I mean, of course they are. They're- They're- They're great pants, you know. I just don't want you to think that all I'm doing is looking at your pants. I'm also looking at your face, sir, and- and your shirt, your tie, all of which are lovely. Like a manly kind of lovely. You know what I mean? Good Lord, I'm not making much sense, am l, sir? Let me just start all over again. Hello. My name is Norm Pants. Ooh! Yay. That didn't come out right, either, did it? [laughs] I'm gonna laugh about that one tonight, sir. And I'm sure you will, too, when you take those pants off tonight. Not that I'm thinking about you taking your pants off, sir! Nothing could be further from the truth! I mean, well, now, don't get me wrong. You know, it's not like I would be grossed out if you took your pants off. Go ahead, run around naked for all I care! After all, you'll do whatever you want to do. You're Mr. Hoffmeyer, for crying out loud! [laughs] Oh, come on, lighten up, will you?! Why are you such a sourpuss? Come on. What's it going to take to put a smile on that face, huh? [sings] With a knick knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone This old man came rolling home!

Quote from Rebecca
Norm: Going a little bit overboard here, aren't you? After all, it's just a silly little machine.
Rebecca: It's not a silly machine, Norman. It is- It is a metaphor for life. It is. Everybody gets to pull the handle, and sometimes they win, and sometimes they lose. But I always lose. I pull the handle, and I get cherry, lemon, [voice breaking] Bell!
Norm: Rebecca, has it ever occurred to you that maybe the reason you always lose is because you think you're going to lose?
Rebecca: Oh, don't give me that crap! I tried that positive thinking stuff, and I knew it wouldn't work, and sure enough, it didn't!
Quote from Rebecca
Rebecca: If I were you, I would be a nervous wreck. You know, I had a shot at my dream job.
Norm: Yeah?
Rebecca: And I- I did really, really well. And then it came time for me to meet the big boss, and I choked. I went in, and- and I complimented him, and then I realized, "Oh, God, I'm kissing up." So I took back the compliment, and then it looked like I was insulting him. So then I started telling jokes, and they were really bad. And then... And- And then, the next thing I knew, I was singing, "Knick knack paddy whack" song. And I was just singing and singing at the top of my lungs. And I just kept burying myself deeper and deeper. And I lost my dream job. And when I walked out of that House of Pancakes, I felt two inches tall.
Norm: Well, Rebecca, that's about the most depressing thing I've ever heard in my life.
