Norm[Rebecca's] taken to replacing the beer nuts to these little candy hearts that say "Hold me," "I'm yours," "Lovey dovey." Hey "Free beer."
Oh no Mr. Peterson, you fooled me once.
NormWell I have to say the mechanical bull is like the most useless thing put in a bar.
Now, Norm.
NormPresent company excepted.
All right now, everyone pay attention. I have an announcement to make and I only have a minute.
NormWhy? You're in a hurry?
No, I was referring to your relatively short attention spans.
You know it just isn't fair. I came because I wanted to be one of the guys and all I'm doing is sitting on my duff watching other people do things.
NormWelcome to NormWorld. Keep your hands inside the car at all times.
So, tonight, when I got out in front of that audience, I ripped off every stitch of clothing. I looked around and I thought, "Why am I the only one who's naked?"
Well, maybe nobody noticed, Wood.
Oh, they noticed, Sam.
As if that wasn't bad enough, I heard this high-pitched scream from the audience, "Hey, look! He's the only one who's naked!"
NormSorry, Woody. It took me by surprise.
What are you up to Norm?
NormMy ideal weight if I were 11 feet tall.
Nice cold beer coming up, Mr. Peterson.
NormYou mean nice cold beer going down Mr. Peterson.
Sorry. No suds tonight, Norm. You are still our designated driver, remember?
NormI know that. You know that. But did you have to call every bar in town and tell them?
[Terri] sounds like the perfect roommate. But I don't know. The thought of having a girl for a roommate, well I've got a real problem with that.
NormYour girlfriend wouldn't understand, huh?
Now I've got two problem.
I get it. Your mom would disapprove.
Make that three problems.
What? Do you have religious scruples?
Oh great four problems.
What was your original problem?
Well I like to sit on the couch and leave the top button of my pants undone after a good frozen meal.
I don't think Kelly would mind. If I'm not sleeping with her why would I be sleeping with somebody else?
Wait a minute. You've been going out with Kelly for over a year and you're not sleepin' with her?
Of course not. That's the sort of this you wait to do after you're married. Right, Mr. Peterson?
NormWell you keep believing that, Woody.
NormWell I guess I better go call Vera back.
What are you talking about? She didn't call.
NormYes, she did. Yesterday. Something about a flat tire, interstate. What the hell's the number of that call box?
I love [Robin] and I'm just about ready to lose him. Have you ever thought what it would be like to be without Vera for 20 years?
NormOh my God.
See you'd miss Vera.
NormI thought you said beer.
Wait a minute, Sammy. Look. Rebecca just said she was leaving here and never coming back.
Yeah.
Oh man, this is terrible.
What?
Sammy finally struck out for real.
[Everyone in the bar mumbles]
What are you talking about here?
We all knew it was taking a long time but we thought that eventually you two would be doing the horizontal hokey pokey.
NormI guess that's it, huh? Lower the flag.
It's the end of an era.
Yup, I guess that's it.
I've just been feeling a bit edgy these days.
Why's that Dr. Crane?
Lilith in her own compulsive little way made the mistake of asking me if I thought she looked fat.
NormAnd what did you say?
I told her she looked just fine.
NormRookie mistake. So what kind of punishment are you getting?
I'm not getting any.
NormOh you got off easy.
No, I'm not getting any.
NormNo, you're getting off easy.
It doesn't mean I will never see you guys. I can still come in as a customer. Of course with work and all I can't stay for 10 to 12 hours at a stretch like you guys.
NormThat's okay. You can be in the part timers club. They sit over there.
And when you're ready to commit you'll let us know.
NormYeah like Phil there. He's right on the verge.
