Sam Quote #68

Quote from Sam in Endless Slumper

Cliff: Hey, Sammy, this guy over here doesn't believe me about your bar slide. Would you mind serving one up just to save my good name?
Sam: My pleasure.
Cliff: Thank you, Sammy. Let's get this garbage out of here.
Coach: Clear the runway.
Cliff: OK, Sammy. Any time you're ready.
Coach: There you go, Sammy.
[Sam slides a beer down the bar, around the corner and across to Cliff]
Cliff: Hit the bricks, pal.
Diane: Okay, okay. How do you do it?
Sam: Well, that's just one of my two hidden talents. The other is just as impressive.
Diane: But you can hardly charge a buck for it.

Quote from Sam

Sam: Oh, I believe you had a question there.
Diane: Ah, well, I guess It isn't important now. It's just that I know this bottle cap has nothing to do with baseball and I was sort of hoping that you'd tell me what it's all about.
Sam: I know- I know you've been curious. I didn't wanna tell you the real situation cos you'll think I'm silly.
Diane: Well, would it ease your mind at all if I told you I already think you're silly?
Sam: Yeah. That might help a little bit. You see, that, uh, little bottle cap keeps me from drinking. Silly, huh?
Diane: You don't hear it speaking, do you?
Sam: Well, nothing beyond an occasional little small talk. It is a very little bottle cap.
Diane: All right. I'll bite. How does it keep you from drinking, just out of curiosity?
Sam: It's the cap off the last bottle of beer I ever drank, the last anything I ever drank. I remember holding onto that bottle cap during some pretty rough nights. I mean, I'd wake up in the morning and I'd have its imprint in my palm. It was flat cos I was squeezing it so hard. When I was tempted to have a drink, sometimes I'd look at the bottle cap and it would stop me.
Diane: That's a pretty great little bottle cap, huh?
Sam: You wanna know something really crazy? The last couple of nights, I've really had an urge to have a drink.
