Quote from Norm in The Last Picture Show

Gus O'Malley: It feels so great to be back here in this old saloon! Boy, I could... Listen, do you think I could, I could pop back here, you know, and maybe serve up one little drink? You know, just for old times' sake?
Sam: Yeah. Do it. Go on.
Gus O'Malley: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This brings it all back. It's like I never left.
Norm: Uh, could I have a beer, please, Gus?
Gus O'Malley: Sure, Norm.
Norm: Something's different. Gus is back!
Gus O'Malley: How you been, Norm?
Norm: I'm all right. Can't complain.
Gus O'Malley: Yeah. How is that lovely bride of yours? What, what was her name again?
Norm: Vera.
Gus O'Malley: Oh, yeah. Vera. Boy, I remember when they were newly-wed. You'd come in here every night and make those goo-goo eyes at each other.
Cliff: You're kidding me. Norm and Vera?
Gus O'Malley: Oh, yeah, yeah. He'd recite poetry to her all the time. He'd put quarter after quarter in that jukebox, and he'd slow dance with Vera until closing. You remember that, Norm?
Norm: Just give me the beer, Gus.

Quote from Woody

Cliff: So, uh, what'd I miss? Why- Why is that girl, uh, running around screaming at everybody?
Norm: Well, she's trying to convince them that, uh, that Godzilla's merely confused and not really trying to hurt them.
Cliff: Isn't that the part usually played by Akiro Nakamoto?
Norm: Yeah, yeah. But, uh, she left halfway through the Godzilla series.
Woody: I don't understand. Why would an actress leave right in the middle of a successful series?

Quote from Woody

Frasier: So, this is your precious drive-in? [chuckles] Tin box squawking in our ears, endless parade of people walking in front of the car, a man in a rubber dragon suit stepping on miniature Japanese houses.
Norm: Yeah, you believe they're gonna tear this place down?
Woody: You guys, this couldn't really happen, could it? Hmm? I mean, don't think I'm stupid or anything, but I mean, you know, if there really was atomic testing offshore, and it woke up a dinosaur, and it got affected by the radiation, I mean, you know, not exactly like this, but maybe something pretty close?
Norm: Woody, Woody, Woody, when are you gonna grow up? [chuckles] Course it could happen.

Quote from Cliff

Cliff: Boy, oh, boy, you know, I'll never forget Ma used to take me down there all bundled up in my pyjamas and all, you know. Yeah, as a matter of fact, it was at the Twi-Lite that I first saw Herbie, the Love Bug.
Norm: Cliffie, Herbie, the Love Bug came out in, uh, 1969, and you were born in, uh...
Sam: Oh, please, man, don't. Don't do the math.
