Sam: You got a second here? Listen you know that ice cream stuff they serve in the middle of dinner there? Is it okay--?
Diane: Sorbet.
Sam: Sorbet, right, sorbet. Is it okay if I were to ask for chocolate sauce with that?
Diane: I think it's wise not to.
Sam: All right, all right.
Diane: And for God's sake, remember that a bowl of warm water with a slice of lemon in it--
Sam: I know, I know. It's a finger bowl, it's not lemon soup. You know something, nobody would've known that time if you hadn't screamed.

Carla: Hey, a word over here, heartthrob.
Cliff: Coming at you.
Sam: Cliffie, Cliffie. I got this one.

Diane: But it's the consensus of opinion around here that you're using Sam to get re-elected, with total disregard for his feelings, and we don't think that's a very nice thing to do.
Janet Eldridge: I see. Well, I'll be honest with you, Diane. That's exactly why I started seeing him.
Diane: Ah-ha. So l-- We were right. Well, I'm warning you, I have some influence with Sam.
Janet Eldridge: Yes, I know. He thinks a great deal of you.
Diane: Anytime I wanted to-- He said that?
Janet Eldridge: Yes. He mentions you often. And Sam is a man of few words.
Diane: Well, he only knows a few. [both laugh]

Janet Eldridge: Yes. He is a simple man in many ways, but I think that's his strength. I mean, I never met anyone who didn't like him.
Diane: Well, good. But I don't understand why we're standing here chatting so enjoyably when you just admitted that you're using Sam.
Janet Eldridge: That's not what I said, Diane. You didn't let me finish. Well, when I first started seeing Sam, perhaps I had ulterior motives in mind, but my attitude toward him has changed dramatically. I've learned that Sam has something that's pretty special. I've never experienced with any other man the feeling I have when I'm with him. When we're at a fundraiser or something like that, I'll watch him across the room talking with some people, and sometimes a feeling comes over me so strong that it nearly makes me ache. Oh, God. I sound like a silly schoolgirl. That's the truth. Does that make you feel better?
Diane: It certainly does. I'm awfully glad we put this matter to rest. You like Sam. And Sam likes you. No one's going to get hurt. Well, "wack to berk." [exits and immediately returns] Boy, you're really good. You almost had me fooled there. But I don't believe a word you said. When this campaign is over, Sam's going to last about as long as your campaign promises. Well, back to work.

Cliff: Boy, when people start finishing each other's sentences, they're-
Norm: Spending far too much time together.
Cliff: Say, Woody, let me have another beer there. Hey, did you hear the one about the-?
Woody: Shepherd and the parrot?
Paul: Yeah. That was a good one.

Diane: [enters] I had a very nice time, Brian.
Brian: Me too.
Frasier: Well, well, if it isn't Kitten With a Whip.

Sam: So you two have a good time?
Diane: Oh, very nice. Very nice time.
Sam: Yeah, we had a great time.
Diane: Yeah, we had a fabulous time.
Brian: It was just a movie and a burger afterwards.
Diane: Oh, but what a film. And the ground beef was excellent, very lean.
Sam: [to April] Listen, I wanna thank you for giving me a ride home. That's a great car you've got there.
Diane: Yes, Brian has a wonderful car too, and it gets excellent mileage.
Sam: What kind of mileage you get?
April: Uh, 35 on the highway, 26 around town.
Brian: 32 and 24. Sorry.

Carla: What a putrid display. You know, people come here to relax and enjoy themselves. They don't wanna look at that. Do you?
All: Yeah!
Carla: This is sick.

Diane: Brian has a big-screen TV.
Sam: April has a satellite dish.
Diane: You are so childish.

Sam: Hey, how about that? We're a stop on the old campaign trail.
Diane: Oh, Sam. You're so politically naive. Janet Eldridge is an old-money conservative who consistently supports big-business interests over badly-needed social programs. She's a real political opportunist.
Sam: Well, if she's that bad, I'll have her out of here in a flash.
Phil Schumacher: [enters] Ladies and gentlemen, Councillor Janet Eldridge.
Sam: She's got until Christmas, then she's out of here.
