Quote from Frasier

Sam: I telephoned your parents, told them you had a boy. They are thrilled to death. Although your father did ask twice who the hell I was.
Gail Aldrich: Thanks. You are both so sweet.
Sam: Yeah, but I'm sweeter, right?
Frasier: Excuse me. I can't wait to share this miracle with Lilith. Well, I better not disturb her now. She and the baby are resting... Whoa! Who is that?
Lilith: Your son.
Frasier: My son? A boy? I'm a father. Sam, I have a son.
Sam: Congratulations.
Frasier: He looks just exactly like me.
Sam: Oh, don't worry about that. All babies look like that at first.

Quote from Woody

Lilith: Frasier, I'm not clenching. The child is simply not ready to be born.
Frasier: Lilith, the child is two weeks overdue.
Woody: Boy, two weeks overdue? Why, you'd be out $1.40 at the library.

Quote from Norm

Sam: Where is everybody?
Norm: Oh, well, the party kinda got out of hand after Rebecca wrestled the 5 o'clock news guy to the ground and ripped all the tape out of his camera.
Sam: How about Cliff? How's he doing?
Norm: I think they're still interrogating him downtown. But Carla went after him.
Sam: To bail him out?
Norm: No, to poke things at him through the bars. But don't worry, Sammy. I've watched the bar. I've kept very careful track of how many beers I've had.
Sam: Yeah.
Norm: I think this is, um... Two.
Sam: Yeah, right.

Quote from Woody

Barbershop Quartet: [sing] In town Back in town...
Woody: That was fantastic. Aren't you guys supposed to have a monkey?

Quote from Carla

Rebecca: All right, guys, does this look like 1889? Hey! Didn't we agree to all wear costumes?
Carla: Uh-huh.
Rebecca: Well, why didn't you? Look at me. I'm the only one. I look like an idiot.
Carla: That's why.

Quote from Rebecca

Mr. Weaver: Miss Howe?
Rebecca: [gasps] Oh, goody, goody! It's my special guest. Hey, everybody, I want you to meet Mr. Weaver. [voice breaking] Come in, Mr. Weaver. [excited] Sam, I'd like you to meet Mr. Weaver. He's over 106 years old.
Sam: Really? Well, you don't look it... I guess. I mean, who would know, huh?
Rebecca: The reason Mr. Weaver's our guest of honor today is because he used to live in this neighborhood. do you get it? He was here when Cheers opened.
Norm: Big deal. I'm always here when Cheers opens.
Rebecca: I mean originally. Mr. Weaver confirmed that there was a beer tavern here in 1889. This man is a living treasure. [The old man leans in towards Rebecca] Hey, wait a minute. Did you just pinch me?
Mr. Weaver: Did l? [slaps his own wrist] Bad boy.
Carla: Hey! Hey, Mac, pinch me again, and you won't live to 107.
Barbershop Quarter: [sing] Wish you...
Carla: You shut up!

Quote from Woody

Rebecca: Oh, my God, it's him! It's the mayor.
Sam: Hey, it really is the mayor. Hi.
Rebecca: And look, he's got a little plaque.
Woody: Well, he's probably too busy to brush between meals.
Sam: No.

Carla: Pleased to meet you. So what's with all the potholes on my street?
Rebecca: Carla...
Carla: It's all right. I voted for him twice, in the same election.
Mayor Raymond Flynn: Uh, I'm sure you're joking, but I'll look into those potholes for you.

Quote from Carla
