Carla Quote #584
Quote from Carla in Dog Bites Cliff
Sam: Listen, somebody's got to tell Cliff the truth.
Norm: I guarantee that he'll never talk to the person who does.
Carla: Okay, you talked me into it. Hey, Hopalong! Come here. I want to talk to you. [clears throat] I don't know how to tell you this. Wait a minute. Yes, I do. You're an idiot! Everybody in the bar thinks that babe is playing you for a fool and the second you drop your lawsuit, you're history. You are a sap.
Cliff: I know but I'm having the time of my life. You know, uh, how often am I a sap with a beautiful woman? I mean, I usually am a sap with the bowsers, but, uh... When Madeline and I walk into a restaurant, all the guys' heads, they turn. And they're not saying, "Hey there's a beautiful woman over there with a sap."
Carla: Yes, they are.
Cliff: Look, all I know is that as long as we're together, there's a good chance she may grant me the, uh, ultimate favor.
Carla: Yeah, right, Clavin. You're threatening to sue her, not kill her.

Quote from Woody
[As Woody goes to answer the phone, he accidentally drops it in a bucket of water on account of his injured arm.]
Woody: [answers phone] Cheers. Yeah, oh, just a minute, please. Mr. Clavin, for you.
Cliff: Uh, take a message. I'll call 'em back, Wood.
Woody: Yeah, can he get back to you? Oh, yes, ma'am. She wants to know how your leg is.
Cliff: Eh? Eh? See? The mutt's owner tracked me down. Well, tell her that she can deep-six that phony concern of hers. It doesn't cut it with me.
Woody: You can deep-six your phony concern. It doesn't cut it with him.
Cliff: Tell her my leg and I will see her in court.
Woody: His leg and him will see you in court. Oh, okay, I'll tell him. [hangs up] Uh, your mom wants you to be home by 6:00 for dinner.
Cliff: Woody, Woody, why didn't you tell me it was my mother?
Woody: I just did.
Cliff: No, I mean before.
Woody: Well, I didn't know it was her till I picked up the phone.
Cliff: No, Woody... When you were talkin' to her, why didn't you say it was her?
Woody: She already knew that.
Sam: Uh, I'd leave it alone, Cliff. I think it's one of those Zen koan things.
Quote from Cliff
Cliff: And, uh, she hung up the phone and said, "Cliff, uh, I don't know how to tell you this, but, uh, my husband's come back."
Norm: Wait a minute now. She's married all this time and never told you?
Cliff: Yeah. Seems that her husband, a true and gallant soldier of these United States, was, uh, lost and presumed dead during some, uh, secret mission out there in the Far East. Oh, as it turns out, he was only wounded, and although he suffered, uh, years of torture. See, uh, uh, somehow, he managed to, uh, dig a tunnel with a pair of chopsticks and make his way to a, uh, pay phone and, uh, give her a call.
Sam: Cliff, this is an unbelievable story.
Cliff: Oh, yeah, Sammy. It's unbelievable to me, and I was there. But, uh, she barely had time to blow me a kiss and wish me a happy life, and, uh then she was gone like a dream in the night.
Carla: What a maroon.
Quote from Woody
Cliff: I guess we were like a pair of lovers that were never meant to be. Like Romeo and Juliet. Rhett, Scarlett. Heathcliff, Kathy.
Woody: Heath, Cliff and Kathy? Isn't that three people, Mr. Clavin?
