Sam Quote #827
Quote from Sam in Norm's First Hurrah
Diane: Norman, why waste time with the supervisor? He'll only take credit for the idea himself. Why don't you go right to the top? Present your idea to the Board of Directors.
Norm: I don't know, the thought of standing there in a room full of bigwigs just gives me the cold sweats.
Sam: Boy, yeah, I can sympathize with you there, Normie.
Norm: Yeah?
Sam: Yeah, I'll never forget my first oral report. Sixth grade.
Norm: Yeah?
Sam: Yeah, boy, was I nervous. I tell you. I went to my father and he said, "Hey, just relax. You'll be fine as long as you can imagine the other kids in their underwear." Which was no big deal for me because I'd gotten that far with half the girls in class already.
Norm: Even then, huh?

Quote from Woody
Sam: You missing something, Woody?

Carla: Well, say good-bye to that Andy Jackson.
Woody: [to a man] Oh, see you later, Andy.
Cliff: Boy, oh, boy. Talk about your lucky days, huh? Just found 20 smackers back there in the pool room. Yeah, and to celebrate my good fortune, I'm gonna buy a round of drinks for all my, uh, friends.
Carla: What are you gonna do with the other 19 bucks?
Sam: Woody, that could be your $20 bill. The one you lost.

Cliff: That's amazing.
Sam: How'd you do that?

Quote from Sam
Diane: Well, how can you compare Disneyworld and Tibet, where we might possibly unravel the mysteries of life?
Sam: Well, there, there are lots of mysteries you can unravel at Disneyworld.
Diane: For example?
Sam: Um, all right, all right, uh, why is it that, uh, Donald Duck wears a top and no bottom, whereas Mickey wears a bottom and no top?
Cliff: Oh, Sammy, it, it's because, you know, uh, a duck's privates are hidden by their feathers and mouse's is, uh, well, need I say more?
Frasier: While you're at it, I mean, why is it we've never seen Donald fly? I mean, I've seen that damn duck do The Carioca.
Carla: Yeah, and if Mickey's dating Minnie, how come he has such a high voice?
Sam: Oh, now, whoa, wait, are you trying to tell me that Mickey...
Diane: All right, all right, all right, we'll go! We'll go!
Quote from Norm
Diane: Now, Norman. Please. Now don't let this faze you. You have to keep pushing. I know that this idea didn't succeed, but others will.
Norm: No, no, Diane. A few moments ago, I almost made the biggest mistake of my professional life, okay? And it was because I was doing something that just wasn't me. I am not a go-getter. I've never been a go-getter. And what's more, I don't even want to be a go-getter. I'm very happy right where I am. And I'm tired of all these people saying, "Peterson, you've gotta push. You gotta get ahead. You gotta make that goal." I don't even wanna make the goal, Diane. I wanna be a bench warmer, okay? The world needs bench warmers. I mean, if there were no bench warmers, what would we have? We'd have cold benches. A lot of cold benches. And the world does not need that, Diane. In this great pageantry of life, Norm Peterson may be a, a motionless lump, but he's a very damn good one.
Diane: Norman, I've never seen you so impassioned.
Norm: That's 'cause I believe in this, Diane. Look, Norm Peterson is totally happy being an anonymous cog in the gigantic machinery of this firm.
Supervisor: Oh, I forgot. Didn't you wanna say something at the meeting?
Norm: Just how delighted I was to be part of the firm, sir.
Supervisor: Well, we're glad to have you aboard, Springsteen.
Norm: I'm home.
