Cliff Quote #523

Quote from Cliff in Death Takes a Holiday On Ice

Gloria LeBec: Well, I better be going. The kids and I have got a 17-hour bus ride ahead of us to Kenosha.
Carla: What are you taking, the polar route? Hey, look, it's been a hell of a day. Why don't you skip the bus and spend the night at my house.
Gloria LeBec: That's nice of you, Carla.
Carla: You haven't seen my house. Well, actually you'd be doing me a favor. I got to work late tonight, and I could use a baby-sitter. Cliff's leaving right now. He'll drive you home.
Cliff: I just ordered a beer there, Carla. Sorry. [Carla pours the beer away] Ahh, that hit the spot.
Gloria LeBec: Know what? You're a pretty nice lady. I can see why Eddie knocked you up.
Carla: Ditto.
Cliff: Did you know that Gloria comes from the Latin "glorioski"? It's an expression of surprise. It was made popular during the depression by the round-eyed waif little orphan Annie. You know, it's no mistake that she didn't have any pupils in her eyes.

Quote from Woody

Father Barry: So we, the friends of Edward LeBec, silently, each in his own way, bid him good-bye, secure in the belief... That he will live in eternal peace.
Woody: I think this is a nice service.
Sam: You've been to a lot of them, Wood?
Woody: What do you mean, Sam?
Sam: Just from the size of your family and all the unfortunate things that seem to happen.
Woody: No, no, no, Sam, you've got that wrong. Very few of those people were killed, just maimed. I had an uncle who lived to be 103. He had both ears till he was 101.

Quote from Frasier

Frasier: Carla, different people deal with the loss of a loved one in different ways. As such, your stoic behavior is quite understandable, but studies in human behavior tell us that we need to grieve. And until we do allow ourselves that emotional release, we can never really get back on the course of life. You see, some people hold in their grief for literally years and years. And all they accomplish is to prolong the grief and the agony, casting a pall over their own remaining days on this earth. [sobs] Oh! Oh, mommy! Mommy, why you? Oh!

Quote from Carla

Carla: Look, lady, I don't know what you're trying to pull, but I'm not amused.
Woody: Yeah, if you're trying to get a laugh at a funeral, you're going to have to be a lot funnier than that.
Gloria LeBec: I am Gloria LeBec, as in Eddie LeBec. Who the hell are you?
Carla: I'm Carla LeBec, Eddie's poor, grieving widow.
Gloria LeBec: I'm Eddie's poor, grieving widow.
Carla: That's impossible. See this? [holds up her ring finger]
Gloria LeBec: Yeah? Well, see this? [holds up her ring finger]
Carla: Yeah? Well, see this? [holds up her fist]
