Norm Quote #12

Quote from Norm in Sam at Eleven

Norm: The Celtics got going pretty good, eh?
Harry: I'm sorry. I wasn't listening. I'm practicing my floating coin trick.
Norm: Pardon me?
Harry: Just a little something I do.
Norm: So it's a rigged-up coin, huh?
Harry: No, it's just a half-dollar. Look.
Norm: It's a trick or something, right? Strings, wires and stuff like that?
Harry: No wires, no strings. I just take the coin. I hold it in the air, about like that, and then I let go of it real careful, and it just stays there, it floats. It hangs there.
Norm: What am l, a goof? There's no way you can make a coin hang in the air! No way.
Harry: You got five bucks if I can't do it?
Norm: Ten! Ten bucks.
Harry: Wait. Wait. Am I being hustled here? You are gonna give me ten bucks if I cannot do it?
Norm: You're onsville, pal! Come on.
Harry: [drops coin] I couldn't do it!
Norm: No, you couldn't! [laughs]
Harry: I don't know what happened there?
Norm: I'll tell you what happened. You just got stuck with ten bucks. Coach! Coach! Who is this clown?
Coach: Which clown? Harry, please!
Sam: Harry.
Harry: Sam, I'm going. I was just playing. But whoever owns a Honda, thanks for the lift!

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?
