Sam

The woman I choose is gonna feel very special. You know, like when a great chef picks the perfect pork chop.

[sarcastically] That's beautiful, Sam.

S11 E24 The Guy Can't Help It

Sam

You know I think you should go home, wake Vera, and do whatever comes naturally.

Wake her up so she can watch me eat a bucket of buffalo wings?

Sam

Well, at least I didn't fly across the country to make an ass out of myself.

Why bother when you do it so brilliantly right here?

Sam

I keep askin' myself: what is the point to life?

Whew. That's a tough question.

Ehh. Well, I got the answer.

Somehow I knew you would.

Comfortable shoes.

Shoes?

Yeah. If you're not wearin' comfortable shoes, life is just chaos. I mean the greatest accomplishments in history have been made by men wearin' accommodating shoes. Uh, Frasier, tell me, who do you think is the greatest thinker in all mankind?

I don't know, uh... Aristotle.

There you go: sandals. Perhaps the most comfortable shoe there is. You hardly even know you have them on. I mean Confucius: thongs. Einstein: loose loafers.

[The series' last lines]

Sammy, can I let you in on a little secret?

Sam

Sure.

I knew you'd come back.

Sam

You did?

You can never be unfaithful to your one true love. You always come back to her.

Sam

Who is that?

Think about it, Sam.

[Norm leaves. Sam considers this, then figures out what he meant.]

Sam

Boy, I tell ya, I'm the luckiest son of a bitch on earth. [At he walks back, he hears a man come down the steps and knock on the door.] Sorry, we're closed.

[The man leaves. Sam straightens the picture of Geronimo on the wall, then leaves out the back.]
