Diane Quote #35
Quote from Diane in Coach's Daughter
Diane: Coach, come here. I'm a daughter myself, right? Let me tell you something about my father. My father is a very wise and learned man, but he never gave himself a chance to really get to know the boys I brought home. He would decide that he didn't like them for no better reason than one of them had bad posture or another one had facial hair. I'll never forget when I was foolish enough to bring home a utopian socialist.
Sam: Oh, my God!
Carla: Oh, no!
Diane: I know, it's unbelievable. I was a rebel then. The point I'm trying to make is, you mustn't make the mistake of judging Roy too quickly.
Diane: Now, call me crazy-
All: You are crazy.
Diane: Very funny. What I am struggling to say is, call me a bleeding heart-
All: You're a bleeding heart.
Diane: Call me cute as a button. [silence] Fine. Coach, I'm a humanist. That means that I have to believe there's something fine and noble about every human being. And if we haven't found what's fine and noble about Roy yet, it means that we haven't looked deeply enough.

Quote from Sam
Sam: Hey, Chuck, how's the job search going?
Chuck: I got something, Sam, but I'm not crazy about it. I'm a janitor at a biology lab where they do DNA experiments, making mutant viruses and stuff.
Sam: Sounds like a pretty good job to me.
Chuck: I don't know. Makes me a little nervous, you know, all that weird stuff floating around.
Carla: Ah, hey, don't worry about it.
Norm: Don't sweat it.
Sam: Yeah, of course, they handle all that stuff.
Chuck: Yeah, I guess you're right. Must be getting a little paranoid, huh?
Carla: Yeah.
Chuck: See you later. You know, I feel better already.
Carla: Bye-bye.
Sam: Bye.
[After Chuck leaves, everybody in the bar starts spraying and wiping down surfaces.]
Cliff: Sammy, he used the phone.
[After Sam tosses Norm an aerosol spray to give to Cliff, Carla throws Sam a cloth to pick up Chuck's glass without touching it]
Quote from Coach
Coach: I'm sorry, Lisa, but the time has come for me to put my foot in my mouth and tell you you cannot marry this man. I mean, you absolutely, positively cannot marry this man. Che una cosa impossibile.
Lisa: Daddy, I've never heard you talk like this before.
Coach: Well, now you have. And I'll tell you something, I don't like this guy Roy, and I don't like Charlie Spikes, and you can't marry either one of them.
Lisa: Look, Daddy, I'm not dumb. I know Roy's abrasive, I know he's insensitive, and I know he's probably only marrying me so he can get the Pennsylvania territory.
Coach: But why would you want to marry a man like this?
Lisa: Daddy, isn't it obvious to you?
Coach: Nothing's ever obvious to me.
Quote from Diane
Sam: Do you have a Mr. Right in mind, do you, Diane?
Diane: Well, I suppose I do. Every woman does.
Sam: What's he like?
Diane: Oh, come on.
Sam: No, come on, come on. Maybe I know the guy. Maybe I know him real well...
Diane: Well, for one thing, he would be very intelligent. Very well educated. Perhaps even over-educated, if there is such a thing. Not particularly athletic, perhaps even clumsy, but charmingly so. Blond, blue-eyed, with a Byron-like innocence.
Sam: Hey, now, I know this person. I know this person.
Diane: Who?
Sam: You. You just described yourself perfectly. I hope you'll be very happy together.
