Christmas comes earlier every year, doesn't it?
WoodyI think if you check Sam, it always comes on the 25th of December.
WoodyYou know I was thinking about this the other day and I think in my next life I'd like to come back as the President of France.
Why is that, Wood?
WoodyWell I think it would attract a lot of business to the bar.
I've been plannin' my Elvis pilgrimage to Memphis for weeks and now Nick is backing out of takin' care of the kids. He says his appendix burst.
That seems serious to me.
His appendix bursts every time I need a favor.
WoodyIf he was smart, he would have that removed.
[Simon enters the bar and spots Frasier]
[sings] Three Little Maids from School are we.
[sings] Pert as a Schoolgirl well may be.
[sing] Filled to the brim with girlish glee, Three Little Maids from School.
WoodySam should I call the police?
No need for alarm Woody, we were in the spring musical at Oxford together. It was The Mikado. Simon was Pitti-Sing and I was Yum-Yum.
And a handsomer Yum-Yum I've never seen.
Excuse me, young man. I'm Dr. Sumner Sloane. I'm looking for Diane Chambers.
WoodyGee, I hope she's not sick.
No, I'm not a medical doctor. I'm in the literature department at Boston University where I occupy a chair.
WoodyHey don't worry about it. That's all I did in school too.
WoodyHey Sam, what are you concocting there?
You know how superstitious Carla and Eddie are, I thought I'd mix them up a batch of my good luck wedding punch. It never fails.
WoodyIsn't that the same stuff you made when you were getting married to Miss Chambers?
[pause] Woody, you want to flush this down the toilet?
Woody, you have been coming in here dressed in that ridiculous getup for three weeks now. When are you going to stop this nonsense.
WoodyCarla, as an understudy I have to be dressed and ready to go on at a moments notice. Putting on makeup like this can take hours but I wouldn't expect you to understand.
Why? Cause I'm not in the theater?
WoodyNo, because you don't wear makeup.
Oh, hey. Did you notice the pool on the way in?
WoodyYeah.
[Norm chuckles]
So when summer rolls around and all those girls are out there in their French-cut bikinis, I don't have to tell you where I'll be.
Standing right here with a pair of binoculars?
That's right.
What are you doing there?
WoodyMiss Howe put moi in charge of refreshments for the book club.
Yeah, but what are those?
WoodyFinger sandwiches. You know, the part that takes the most time is getting that middle knuckle right.
Woody, they don't actually have to look like fingers.
WoodyYeah right.
[about Rebecca] This is getting insulting. You know I don't think she respects us.
WoodyWhat do you mean "us", Sam? You're the one who goofed up that champagne thing.
Come on, man. We're a team.
WoodyIs that the insulting part?
Did you get a chance to see Carla's babies?
They're two of the cutest little guys you've ever seen.
Who do they look like, Carla or Eddie?
WoodyWell they're twins, they kind of look like each other.
WoodyHow come you're not going with Ms. Howe?
I thought I'd have fun instead.
Around here when guys get together to send another guy off to his doom, things can get a little raunchy.
WoodyYou fellas ever dress up farm animals in women's clothing?
No
WoodyThen I'm one up on you.
WoodyCan I pour you a draft, Mr. Peterson?
A little early, isn't it, Woody?
WoodyFor a beer?
No, for stupid questions.
Senior bartender huh? Well, Woods, you know a little promotion like that kind of deserves a round of drinks on the house.
WoodyAh, gee, Mr. Peterson, I'd love to. I'm real sorry, but gosh I just don't think I'd better.
Boy, give a guy a title and he turns into a fascist.
