As Sam's relationship with Janet Eldridge (Kate Mulgrew) becomes serious, she tells him to fire Diane from the bar.
Quote from Carla
Carla: Hey, Diane, I'm leaving.
Diane: [o.s.] Okay.
Carla: I'm gonna shut off the light and lock you in.
Diane: Okay.
Carla: Don't forget to cover the pool table.
Diane: Okay.
Carla: Make sure you pull your arms off and stuff them down your throat.
Diane: Okay.
Quote from Woody
Cliff: Oh, Normie, you're as white as a sheet. What's cooking?
Norm: Oh, that was Vera. Her aunt's taken sick. She has to go to Springfield for a few days. That leaves me at home alone with Donna.
Cliff: Just you and the siren.
Woody: Hey, Mr. Peterson, maybe you can use that siren thing to scare off your sister-in-law.
Quote from Frasier
Diane: Sam thinks he's going to fire me. But I have a little surprise for him. I'm resigning.
Frasier: You're leaving Cheers?
Diane: That's right.
Frasier: Well, great. You can work for me. I need a new receptionist.
Diane: Frasier, you have a wonderful receptionist. Mrs. McGrady has worked for you and your family for 20 years.
Frasier: Well, yes, but I caught her in a typo the other day, so she's history.
Diane: Thank you, Frasier. I don't think so.
Frasier: Okay, but one word from you and that blue-haired head rolls.
Quote from Sam
Sam: I'm sorry I'm late. Oh, hey, I bet you can't guess who I met at Janet's house last night.
Diane: Sam, please.
Sam: What?
Diane: This is really getting out of hand. In the month that you've been dating the lovely Councillor Eldridge you've done nothing but drop names. You'd think you'd never seen a celebrity before. So spare me your stargazing. [exits]
Norm: Hey, hey, Gary Hart. Gary Hart, there he is.
Sam: Oh, hey, senator.
Gary Hart: Hi, Sam, you left your coat in my car last night.
Sam: That's sweet of you to bring it by. Thank you.
Gary Hart: Least I could do for a Trivial Pursuit partner. By the way, thanks for your help with those sports questions.
Sam: Well, that's my strong point. Thank you for helping me with everything else.
Gary Hart: That's my strong point.
Sam: Yeah.
Quote from Woody
Jim Fleener: Frasier, it was awfully nice of you to invite me out for a drink.
Frasier: Oh, well, it's my pleasure, Jim. I just couldn't bear to see you so down in the dumps after you lost the election. I thought this might cheer you up.
Jim Fleener: I'm sure it will.
Frasier: Woody let me get a Scotch on the rocks.
Jim Fleener: Oh, well, make that two.
Woody: Coming right up. Say, aren't you that guy that Janet Eldridge whipped in the election?
Frasier: Woody.
Woody: Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I guess you just look like him. Hey, did that Fleener guy take a shellacking or what? [laughs]
Quote from Frasier
Frasier: Jim, you have to look on the bright side of this.
Jim Fleener: Yeah.
Frasier: Well, for example, what were the positive things about your campaign?
Jim Fleener: Well... Well, of course, there was Diane.
Frasier: Diane?
Jim Fleener: She was wonderful. She was absolutely wonderful. You know, a man could go far with a woman like that at his side. In fact, now that the campaign is over, I thought I might ask her out.
Frasier: Well, I think that's wonderfully open-minded of you, considering her operation.
Jim Fleener: What operation was that?
Frasier: Well, she had a sex-change operation. Surely you knew.
Jim Fleener: [whispers] Sex change? No, l, l-- Diane?
Quote from Frasier
Diane: [enters] Hi, Frasier. Jim, what are you doing here?
Jim Fleener: Diane, Diane, what a courageous person you are.
Diane: What are you talking about?
Jim Fleener: What a wonderful job they did. l, l-- Of course, now that I know, I can tell the difference. Well, I think I'm gonna be going now. Bye, Diane.
Frasier: It's great to see old Jimbo again, isn't it?
Diane: Frasier, have you been telling people I had a sex-change operation again?
Frasier: No. He guessed.
Quote from Diane
Diane: Hello, Sam.
Sam: Oh, hi.
Diane: My, going formal again.
Sam: Yeah.
Diane: You've logged a lot of hours in the tuxedo lately.
Sam: Kind of getting used to the old monkey suit.
Diane: You know, I never realized until now just how appropriate that nickname is.
Sam: That's very funny.
Diane: My, aren't we a grumpy primate?
Quote from Woody
Carla: She's jealous you're going to a party at the mayor's house, and she's not.
Diane: As a matter of fact, I have a wonderful evening planned. My date Gregory and I are going to the theatre and then to a late-night supper and dancing.
Woody: Boy, does that bring back memories.
Diane: Oh, are you recalling a similar evening, Woody?
Woody: No, I just remembered your date called and cancelled. He said that he had to go on duty at the hospital, and that he was really very sorry.
Sam: Oh, I'm sorry too, sweetheart.
Diane: Well, it's okay. Really. It's not like I went out and spent $312 on a new dress.
Woody: Then you'd really feel dumb.
Quote from Cliff
Cliff: What's the problem there, Norm?
Norm: Trouble, Cliffie, with a capital D. Vera's younger sister, Donna, is coming to visit. She insists on prancing around the house wearing next to nothing. She's always exercising in front of me in skimpy little leotards and stuff. She'll shower with the door half open, right in front of me.
Cliff: I see your problem here. Sounds like you got a case of the frustrated female over there. I know just what to do. We'll try a little Acu-Clavin on her.
