Coach Quote #205
Quote from Coach in Fortune and Men's Weight
Diane: Can we keep it?
Sam: Well, I'm afraid we're going to have to. The number's been disconnected and there's no new number. The guy's obviously a conman, Coach.
Coach: I knew it. I knew he was a conman the minute I laid eyes on him.
Diane: Well, as a collector of antiques, I think the scale might some day be worth what you paid for it. [Sam shows Diane the receipt] Or a fraction thereof.
Coach: Sam, the salesman also said, [German accent] "This scale is not being made any more. This one was in a cellar for over 40 years."
Sam: Coach, you shouldn't have bought it.

Quote from Norm
Norm: [enters] Afternoon, everybody.
All: Norm!
Coach: How does a beer sound, Norm?

Quote from Norm
Norm: It says, "Your most troublesome problem will soon be solved."
Cliff: Hey, Norm sounds like you're going to get a trim on the old antlers tonight, huh?
Coach: Norm, what's your most troublesome problem?
Norm: You know, that's tough to say, Coach. Let's see. I'm overweight, unemployed, separated, depressed, starting to drink too much. I guess my biggest problem is I've never been happier.
Quote from Coach
Sam: Coach, why did you do this? I've told you a thousand times, don't buy anything for the bar without checking with me.
Coach: Gee, I'm sorry, Sam. That salesman, I just couldn't resist him. I mean, he had a way about him.
Sam: One of those fast talkers?
Coach: No, no. No, no. This big tall skinny guy with a beard. He reminded me of somebody in history. Uh, a president. The guy who freed the slaves.
Sam: Abraham Lincoln?
Coach: Only this guy wasn't nice at all. As a matter of fact, he was kind of mean. He reminded me of that little guy in Germany with the mustache. World War II.
Sam: Adolf Hitler?
Coach: Boy, don't play trivia with this guy.
Norm: Coach, you mean this guy was a cross between Abraham Lincoln and Hitler?
Coach: Normie, I don't know. I just want to tell you, he was strange, Normie. He was all dressed in black, and his eyes shined like coals and he had this deep voice and he said to me, [deep voice, German accent] "This scale will not only tell you your weight, but it will tell you your destiny."
Diane: He had an accent?
Coach: No.
Carla: Then why did you say it like, [German accent] your weight and your destiny?
Coach: Just a little color, Carla.
