Sam Quote #565
Quote from Sam in Don Juan Is Hell
Diane: Sam, before we start, I want to warn you. This will be frank and candid. We may be touching on some highly sensitive areas.
Sam: Ooh, I like the sound of it already. Go ahead. Go ahead.
Diane: Okay, why don't we start with your parents. Would you describe them as physically demonstrative?
Sam: I'm here, aren't l? They must have been. But why are you asking me about my parents?
Diane: I'm asking about your parents to lay a psychological foundation for your later behavior.
Sam: Boy, this isn't as much fun as I thought it was gonna be. When are we gonna get to me?

Quote from Diane
Diane: You didn't read this, did you?
Sam: Didn't have to, I lived it.
Diane: Sit down, please. "Trevor is the image of the arrested adolescent, entirely self-oriented, still intimidated by the women around him and attempting to prove himself superior to them. Through sexual conquest he can, for a time, quell his constant fears of inferiority and failure. Indeed, the idea of a nonsexual relationship is completely foreign to him. As the years pass and his physical attractiveness diminishes, he'll be doomed to a life of loneliness and despair, unable to give or receive love."
Sam: Is this really how you feel about me?
Diane: This is my clinical view of you. As a woman, I might have felt something different than I feel as an academician.
Sam: It makes my life seem so cheap and pathetic.
Diane: Sam, you're reading things into this.
Sam: Like here where it says: "His life is cheap and pathetic."
Quote from Cliff
Cliff: Hey, everybody. Guess what I grew in my greenhouse?
Carla: Not another potato that looks like Richard Nixon.
Cliff: No, I learned the error of my ways there. Yeah, I guess I was pretty off the deep end then, huh? No, but this is nothing like that. Look at that. A map of the Hawaiian Islands. See the little bumps in the exact shape and formation of our 50th state. Here, Norm.
Norm: Come on, Cliff, don't make me look, please.
Cliff: Normy, Normy, this is one of nature's fascinating little mutations here.
Carla: Resting in the hands of one of her bigger ones.
Cliff: All right, no skin off my nose. I'll just put it in the bag and take it on home. [to a pair of customers] Hey, guess what's in the bag.
Quote from Sam
Sam: I'm going to prepare my lecture, here. You know, it's about time I gave something back to the sport that's given me so much.
Diane: Sam, I think you should read this after all.
Sam: Oh.
Diane: It's not what you think. Now, if you change your mind about the class coming here tonight, call me at home. I'll understand.
Sam: "The Don Juan Syndrome in Modern Culture: An Analysis of Sat-- Sate-- Sater-- Satyriasis." Oh, man, she did it. She even made my sex life boring.
Carla: And not for the first time.
