Sam Quote #1746

Quote from Sam in The Last Picture Show

Rebecca: You know, Gus, I- I think what the problem is here that you are just being a little too hard on us.
Gus O'Malley: Well, thank you very much, Miss Howe, for telling me that I have to pussyfoot around my employees. Incidentally, in my day, a woman in the public eye made it her business to look as attractive as possible. What? Have they stopped making lipstick? Am I that old?
Sam: Come on, Gus. Gus, what are you doing, man? You can't talk to them like this, damn it. These are my employees. They're my friends, too. I trained them, and I'm gonna stand by them.
Gus O'Malley: You people are the most thoughtless, lazy bunch of slobs I've ever had the misfortune to know in my entire life! How do you expect to serve the public? You people have taken the good name of Cheers a name I worked so hard to build up and you've turned it into garbage. And if you think I'm a hard worker, you should've known the guy that owned this place before me. He collapsed and died right here in this bar, right there where you're standing this minute! [Sam takes a step back] I realize that I cannot fire the lot of you just because you disgust me. So I'm gonna do the next best thing, and I'm gonna walk out of here. Now, you can have your apron, and you can have your damn bar! [exits then turns back] Sam? Boy, tonight was the most fun I've had in 20 years. Oh, I thank you, all of you, so very, very much. Listen, if you people are ever in Arizona, you got a place to stay. Oh, wait, wait, wait, whoa, whoa, wait a minute here. Here. This is tonight's receipts, you see? The- The cash drawer was full, and that's what's- What's left over. Good night, Sam. Good night, ladies. Good night, Cheers. [exits]
Sam: All right, all right, all right! Okay, let's get a move on. Let's get a move on. I want to see your butts moving, not your lips! Come on! Move it! Move it! Move it! Move it! Move it!

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.
