Quote from Sam

Sam: I bet you're wondering why I ordered two of everything when there's only me up here, huh?
Waiter: Uh, no, not really.
Sam: Well, actually, it's 'cause I want to give the impression that there are two people in the room.
Waiter: Well, you fooled me.
Sam: Oh. Good, good, good. Where are my hot fudge sundaes?
Waiter: I couldn't fit 'em on the tray. I'll be right back up.
Sam: All right. Great, great. Uh, make sure you parade around the lobby a couple of times before you bring 'em on up. Will ya?
Waiter: Sure.
