Cliff Quote #111

Quote from Cliff in I Call Your Name

Cliff: Yeah, well, I guess the bottom line is that it'd be snitching. And I like to think I'm a little above that.
Norm: Absolutely.
Carla: [bawks]
Cliff: What is that, Carla? You announcing the birth of yet another child? Or are you implying something here?
Carla: You'd rat on a little guy.
Cliff: Oh, yeah? Well, I'm going to rat on this guy, too.
Sam: Come on, Cliff, don't let Carla goad you into this.
Cliff: No, no, Sammy, as long as I wear this uniform, I have a duty to fulfill. I'll speak my truth and take the consequences. [on the phone] Yeah, supervisor, please.
Norm: Come on, Cliff.
Cliff: No, I don't care about the risk I'm taking. The voice of Clifford Clavin is going to be heard like and clear. [talks in a Scandinavian accent on the phone] Hello, hang on to your yockstrap. I have a terrible thing to report.

Quote from Diane

Diane: Don't be coy. It doesn't go with the sloping forehead.
Sam: Did I tell you your boyfriend stopped by the other night? What's his name?
Diane: You know very well it's Frasier.
Sam: Frasier, right! Damn it. Boy, that's an easy name to forget. How are you two doing, anyway, huh?
Diane: Fine. Is there something on your mind?
Sam: No, why do you ask?
Diane: When there's a spot on an empty canvas, it tends to stand out.

Quote from Diane

Frasier: How could you betray my confidence, Sam?
Sam: You didn't say no telling.
Frasier: Oh, I see. I see. Obviously I made the mistake of treating you as an adult.
Diane: Why would you tell him anything to begin with?
Frasier: I was hoping for some insight.
Diane: Insight! From a man whose idea of intellectual stimulation is to count along with Big Bird?

Quote from Cliff

Coach: Hey, Cliffie. Boy, can you believe the way those Sox are playing?
Cliff: Oh, boy, I really miss those carefree halcyon days when my only concern was a group of young lads playing baseball.
Norm: Cliffie, you got something on your mind?
Cliff: The shocking truth is, today I saw a fellow postal employee remove a fragrance sample from a magazine.
Sam: So?
Cliff: So, Sammy, that's in direct violation of postal employee regulations. It's a smudge on the arm of every mail carrier who ever donned this uniform.
Sam: So?
Cliff: So? Sam, look, on one hand, I don't want to be a snitch. But, on the other, I can't endorse anarchy. What should I do?
Norm: Compromise, have a beer.
Cliff: Ah, well I see I should look elsewhere for help on this.
