Carla Quote #24
Quote from Carla in Sam at Eleven
Carla: Dave, this is a really good idea.
Dave: Yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it?
Carla: About time you got around to Mayday.
Dave: Well, actually, I'm really kind of excited that he agreed to do the interview. You know, John McEnroe cancelled out on me.
Carla: So Sam was your second choice?
Dave: No. Gerry Cheever's out of town with his horses.
Carla: Third?
Dave: ML Carr has laryngitis.
Carla: Fourth?
Dave: Jim Rice is out of town, and, uh, Robert Parish was last week. And Becky Bannerman, the junior high school gymnast, is on a field trip.
Carla: But Sam was the first retired guy you thought of?
Dave: No. Well...
Carla: [grabs Dave's tie] I said, Sam was the first retired guy you thought of!
Dave: The very first.
Carla: He's honored.

Quote from Coach
Coach: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You wanna talk about excitement, huh? Sam, tell 'em about opening day in New York. You come out of the bullpen on the seventh. The bases are loaded with pinstripes. Bobby Mercer's at the plate.
Sam: He hit a 400ft home run off me, Coach!
Coach: My God, it was the most exciting thing I ever saw!
Carla: Coach, this is Sam's interview. Why would he wanna talk about something bad happening to him?
Coach: You're right, Carla. I don't know what it is. You know, sometimes I just think of the smartest thing to say, and then it comes out so stupid.
Carla: That doesn't make any sense.
Coach: Well, you should have heard it before I said it!

Dave: Oh, well, then good. It's your lucky day. Not only am I incredibly good-looking, I'm also incredibly rich and incredibly nice.
Sam: And incredibly married!
Diane: Well, I am sorry to hear that.
Dave: You are?
