Sam Quote #966

Quote from Sam in Yacht of Fools

Rebecca: Well, Sam, looks like we're going to be shipmates.
Sam: What do you mean?
Rebecca: I just saw Evan outside, and he told me the good news. I'm going to be your date.
Sam: Uh, well, here... Uh, here's the bad news. I've already invited somebody else.
Rebecca: Un-invite her. Sam, I have been dying for this chance to get to know Evan in a social setting. He only sees me as some tough businesswoman in tailored suits. I want him to see me in sportswear.
Sam: No, you don't understand. See, Julie is really important to me. I've been working like crazy to-to set something up with her for almost three days now. [off Rebecca's look] All right, all right. I'll, uh, I'll call Evan and I'll try to fix it up. I... What am... How am I going to explain Julie tagging along?
Rebecca: Oh, I don't know. Tell him she's your sister.
Sam: My sister? Rebecca, this is a hot, gorgeous, sexy woman. Yeah, he'll believe that.
