Woody: Miss Howe? Phone for you downstairs. It's Robin Colcord.
Alice: The Robin Colcord?
Rebecca: Well, I don't know. If you mean the fabulously handsome, wealthy multimillionaire, yes, that's him. Woody, would you please tell Robin Colcord that I will call him back at my convenience.
Woody: Miss Howe, I know you told me to come up here and pretend Robin Colcord's on the phone for you, but he really is.
Rebecca: And you kept him on hold all this time? Well, why didn't you tell me? Move it!
Sam: What about your meal?
Rebecca: Woody, you handle it.
Woody: I think I'm going to need some more mint jelly and lots of ketchup.

Alice: Rebecca? You OK? You never came back last night.
Rebecca: Oh, I'm sorry, Alice, but you know how it is when you're on the phone with someone like Robin Colcord. First we're conference calling, then tel-starring, and then bouncing satellites all over the solar system.
Carla: Oh, Rebecca, wait a minute.. You got a fax from Robin. Uh... "Sorry I left you on hold last night and never got back to you, but something came up, and I had to fly to Stuttgart."
Rebecca: Oh. Thank you, Carla. Well, I guess I can hang up now.
Alice: You were on hold since last night?
Rebecca: Don't be ridiculous. I called him again this morning. I've only been on hold a couple of hours.

Alice: Sam was nice enough to drive me back to the hotel.
Rebecca: Good.
Alice: So I asked him into the bar downstairs to discuss his plans to buy back Cheers.
Rebecca: You know, you are so terrific. It is no wonder that I have idolized you all these years.
Alice: So after drinks, we moved the conversation up to my room, had a night cap, talked a little more, did it, and this morning had quite a nice continental breakfast.
Rebecca: So the hotel offers a free continental breakfast whenever... Did it? You slept with Sam Malone?
Alice: Oh, is that his last name?

Alice: Well, I'd love to stay here and chat, but I've got to get back to the hotel if I'm going to get a nap before my seminar tonight. [closes Rebecca's open mouth] Don't give away all your dental secrets.
Sam: [enters] Hey, prof.
Alice: Hi, Sam.
Sam: How you doing?
Alice: Fine. Yourself?
Sam: Pretty good. Think we're going to get snow?
Alice: No. It's too cold.
Sam: Yeah. You're probably right. Bye-bye.

Carla: All right. OK, Cliff, I treated you to dinner at the Ritz-Carlton on August 16th of last year to discuss career matters.
Cliff: Hold on. You know, uh, I'd like to find out a little bit more about this scam before I lend my good name to it. Now, what kind of career matters did we discuss?
Carla: Your career in the Vienna boys' choir. [points a pair of scissors at Cliff]
Cliff: Oh, yeah. That was a tasty little dinner, wasn't it? Four star.

Alice: Rebecca, honey? You didn't come to my seminar. I was surprised. Is something going on?
Rebecca: I just couldn't face you, Alice... Not with all you've been through, and I knew it was my fault.
Alice: What are you talking about?
Rebecca: Sam.
Alice: Malone, right?
Rebecca: Right. I sent him over to your hotel to straighten things out. Did you two clear the air?
Alice: Yes we did. And then we steamed it up again.
Rebecca: I don't get this. You are Alice Anne Volkman, my mentor. He is... Sam Malone. He's nothing. He's a bartender.
Alice: Listen, honey, you should do so well at my age. Come to think of it, you should do so well at your age.

Alice: Oh, by the way, I read your, uh, paper on President Carter. I liked it very much.
Rebecca: You did? Thank you.
Alice: In fact, I gave you an "A."
Rebecca: Thank you.
Sam: [enters] Hey, Prof.
Alice: I'm giving you an A+.
Sam: Thank you. Hey, have a nice, safe flight. See you spring break. [laughs] It's an inside joke. Last night, we broke a few springs.

Rebecca: Sam, I have this overwhelming feeling of liberation.
Sam: Yeah?
Rebecca: No, l... l... I just told my mentor she was a slut. Now, I don't care what other people think. I know what's important now is what I think. And I know I'm as smart as anyone else.
Sam: You're a lot smarter than I am. I didn't know he was a peanut farmer that long.
Rebecca: Man, this has been a hell of a couple of days, hasn't it? You know, but everything turned out for the best for everybody. You know, I learned a really good lesson about life. And, um, I think Alice had a good time with, you know, stuff you and she were doing all the time. And, um... Of course, you got all that great business information from her!
Sam: Yeah, actually, I never did get any advice from her. She kept saying she was going to give it to me, but then we ended up in bed. And she said she was going to give it to me the next day, but we ended up in bed again. You know, she never really told me anything. Now she's gone.
Rebecca: Well, it's still been a hell of a couple of days. [exits]
Sam: That slut.
