WoodyHey Sam, can I ask you something?
Another etiquette question?
WoodyYeah last one. What do I do if Kelly's mom tries to go to bed with me?
Kelly's mom? I'm shocked and more than a little impressed.

WoodyHey Sam, can I ask you something?

WoodyDr. Crane says if I can get undressed a little at a time in a place where I feel safe and secure pretty soon I can get naked anywhere.
Makin' progress huh Wood?
Woody[now shirtless] You bet. I'm still scared, cold, and self-conscience. That's all I'll get out of it. But I did pick up an extra $50 in tips.
WoodySo, 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.
WoodyAs 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!"
Sorry, Woody. It took me by surprise.
WoodyGary's just playing with us, like a rat and mouse.
That's cat and mouse, Woody.
WoodySam, a cat and mouse don't play together. They're mortal enemies. They don't even know the same games. Think before you speak, Sam.
WoodyNice cold beer coming up, Mr. Peterson.
You mean nice cold beer going down Mr. Peterson.
Well kudos to Carla. It's healthy after a time to curtail one's grieving and recommence interest in the opposite sex. I know if my Frasier were taken from me in an unforeseen tragedy I would certainly date again after an acceptable period of bereavement.
That gives me a warm fuzzy.
There'd be no sense in being overly emotional, darling. You'd be dead and rotting in a box.
Woody, can I have another beer and would you check on the robot over there and check if it's thirsty.
WoodyHey Dr. Crane, that's your wife. Don't talk about her like that. What can I get you Dr. Sternin-Crane? Another quart of Valvoline?
Oh won't you people stop it? I am not a robot!
Woody[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.
Your girlfriend wouldn't understand, huh?
WoodyNow I've got two problem.
I get it. Your mom would disapprove.
WoodyMake that three problems.
What? Do you have religious scruples?
WoodyOh great four problems.
What was your original problem?
WoodyWell I like to sit on the couch and leave the top button of my pants undone after a good frozen meal.
WoodyI 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?
WoodyOf course not. That's the sort of this you wait to do after you're married. Right, Mr. Peterson?
Well you keep believing that, Woody.
Fine, eight years of humiliating you weenies is enough. I'm going to find a tougher gang to humiliate.
WoodyYou can look all over Boston, you won't find any weenies tougher than us.
I've just been feeling a bit edgy these days.
WoodyWhy's that Dr. Crane?
Lilith in her own compulsive little way made the mistake of asking me if I thought she looked fat.
And what did you say?
I told her she looked just fine.
Rookie mistake. So what kind of punishment are you getting?
I'm not getting any.
Oh you got off easy.
No, I'm not getting any.
No, you're getting off easy.
Your ma's in town?
Yup.
Why don't you pick her up?
No, Normie that would set exactly the wrong tone for this visit. I know why she's here. She wants to move back in with me. But she can just forget it. I tell you. She's not going to be running my life like she did when I was in my mid-30s. No siree sir.
WoodyI don't get it, Mr. Clavin. I thought you liked your ma a lot.
A whole lot.
Too much to be healthy really.
WoodyHow would a beer feel, Mr. Peterson?
Pretty nervous if I was in the room.
WoodyBut so help me God, if a man with a thumb answers...Hold on. It's him. It's the thumb guy and you know what that pervert said? "Allo." What's that in English?
I took French in high school. Allo. Allo means..."I've got your girlfriend in my arms, and soon we'll be naked, you stupid cuckold."
That's funny, Norm, because I thought it meant..."I got your girlfriend in my arms, and we're already naked, you stupid cuckold."
Stop heckling the poor lad. Woody, it simply means...that "I enjoyed your girlfriend."
WoodyIt's just a small part in a commercial, but I don't know if I can pull it off.
What do you play?
WoodyA bartender.
Woody, you are a bartender.
WoodyBut in this commercial, I have to serve drinks.
Woody, you serve drinks all the time.
WoodyBut I have to talk and serve drinks.
You talk and serve drinks everyday.
WoodyNow you've made me nervous about working here.
How's your love life? I mean the physical part?
WoodyI can't speak for Kelly but I'm looking forward to it.
You're telling me that you and Kelly haven't slept together?
WoodyWell, we did once when we went to see Old Gringo, but the whole row was snoring.
Well, I think this may be your problem, Wood?
WoodyI always figured we'd wait until after we were married. That's the way everybody in Hanover does it, except for that couple that teaches art at the high school.
