Quote from Diane in Sumner's Return
Diane: Before you go on, let me say first that I've gotten over you. So I hope for your sake you didn't come to get me back.
Sumner: I didn't.
Diane: Oh good.
Sumner: I'm still with Barbara, but I want desperately to win you back as a friend, Diane. I haven't been able to live with the thought of someone in the world hating me.
Diane: I don't hate you, Sumner.
Sumner: I can't even stand the thought of someone who thinks I'm a...
Diane: A creep? Well, you might have to live with that one. [laughs]
Sumner: My God. Even a trace of your laughter lights up a room.
Diane: Well, there are things about you that I have missed too. Sumner, let's cut the crap.

Quote from Cliff
Sam: You know, Diane's right. I'm gonna embarrass her.
Cliff: Sammy, believe it or not, I think I have a simple solution to all this. Look, he's a literature professor, right?
Sam: Yeah, right.
Cliff: War And Peace is the greatest novel. You read it between now and Saturday, right? Drop in a few comments over dinner. You're off to the races.
Sam: "War And Peace"? This is a good book?
Cliff: Oh, yeah. They say the first 800 pages are a bit slow but it shoots off after that.
Sam: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a second. What are talking about? I've got five days. How long is this book?
Cliff: Well, I've delivered a few for the book clubs and it's about three-and-a-half pounds paperback.
Coach: Forget it, Sam. Nobody can read four ounces a day.

Quote from Sam
Sumner: Sam, sit down. You're creating a stir.
Sam: Hey, come on. Come on. I know what's been going on all evening. I mean, this stuff about Barbara being sick is a bunch of baloney. You set it up here to get your big fan back. Well, you got her. Way to go, guy.
Diane: Sam, please.
Sam: No, it's okay. It's all right. I see it all very clearly now. I got you on the rebound. You were just slumming with me between PhDs. Well, he's come for you. Go with him.
Diane: Sam.
Sam: I'll tell you something else, too. Before I read War And Peace again in five days just to impress some broad, it's gonna be a cold day in Minsk.
