Diane Quote #412
Quote from Diane in The Belles of St. Clete's
Sam: [on the phone] No, it's been crazy around here. Carla's been moping around all night 'cause none of her old school chums will back her up on this. You know, Carla, she's got so much anger bottled up, I'm afraid she's going to hurt someone. And without you here, I'm next in line.
[As Diane talks on the phone, Frasier is loudly attending to the fireplace in the ski chalet]
Diane: Sam, it would never come to that. Carla has a means of dealing with anger that's very effective. She vents it constantly in small doses to prevent a build-up that might erupt in violence. It's a technique that many hot-tempered, uneducated people evolve instinctively and though it's rather primitive, it is nearly as effective as more sophisticated techniques cultivated and employed by better-educated people with gentler tempers... Stop that, damn it. Please, darling, just until I'm finished.
Frasier: Certainly, dearest heart.
Diane: Thank you, love of my life. [on the phone] Sam, I'm sorry. What were we- What was I saying?
Sam: You don't know either? Well, we gotta have a rule around here. When you speak at least one of us has got to to be listening. Give my best to Frasier. Bye.

Quote from Norm
Sam: Seriously, how come you're here this early?
Norm: Ah, my supervisor got sick. Had to go home early. So he left me in charge of the office. So I closed it. Hey, you know, I thought I'd stop by, have a few beers and figure out what to do with the day. After all, I have 24 golden hours to spend on Norm Peterson. Any suggestions?
Sam: If it was me, I'd be out there sailing. Perfect weather, the waters won't be crowded.

Norm: No, I don't have my clubs with me.

Norm: What happened?

Sam: Where? What?
Carla: Over there at table five.
Cliff: Oh, the little old lady?
Carla: Drusilla Dimeglio. She was the principal at St. Clete's School for Wayward Girls. We all hated her guts. She used to do these mean, spiteful things to us. Oh, I swore vengeance on her, but she retired before I could do anything. Now, twenty years later, there she is.
Sam: It's been twenty years. Are you sure it's her?
Carla: Well, there's one way to make absolutely sure, Sam. She has my teeth mark on her left ankle.
