Oh Sam, it's never too early to start thinking of name for our children.
It is if you're thinking about the name Emil.
What's wrong with Emil?
A meal is something you eat. It's not something you name your kid.
S5 E22The Godfather: Part 3
The point is you've got to get to know each other better if you're going to take a big step like this. You gotta get past this early infatuation and get to the point where you're sick and tired of each other; then you're ready for marriage. Look at Diane and me, we waited five years to get married. If it were up to me we'd wait another five.
S5 E23Norm's First Hurrah
Norman, may I talk to you for a minute?
Yeah, sure. What's up?
You make me sick. You're a quitter, Norman! No, you're worse than that, you're a non-starter. You don't even try. You sit around the bar all day, you sit around your house all day, you sit around here all day, you sit around life all day! How are you going to feel at the end of your life when you're lying-no, make that sitting, on your death bed and you realize the only thing you've done in your life was sit around, and watch people do things, make things out of their lives? Well, maybe you're right, Norman. Maybe you're not meant for success, maybe you're meant for exactly what you are-nothing.
Diane, you have no right to say that to me.
Oh, Norman, I only said those things because I care about you.
You must care an awful lot about me.
Yes, I do. We all do. We're your friends, Norman, and we're all tired of seeing you give up so easily.
[After Thompkins steals Norm's proposal to the Board of Directors] Now now, Norman, you can't let this faze you, all right? You have to keep pushing. I know that this idea didn't succeed, but others will.
No no, Diane. Look, a few minutes ago, I almost made the biggest mistake of my professional life and it was because I was doing something that just wasn't me. I am not a go-getter, I've never been a go-getter, what's more, I don't even want to be a go-getter. I'm very happy right where I am. I'm so sick of all these people saying "Peterson, you gotta push", "You gotta get ahead", "You gotta make that goal". I don't even want to make the goal, Diane. I want to be a bench warmer. The world needs bench warmers. If there were no bench warmers, what would we have? Cold benches. A lot of cold benches and the world does not need that. You know something, I'm very happy with being an anonymous cog in this field of work.
Norman, I've never seen you so impassioned like this before.
That's because I believe in this, Diane. I'll tell you something else, Norm Peterson may be a motionless lump, but he's a damn good one.
S5 E24Cheers: The Motion Picture
You're just in time to see our masterpiece.
Should I alert Pauline Kael?
Well if you want to but tell her to get her butt in gear. We're about to start.
Hey Diane, shoot the damn film.
Would you tell Fellini, shoot the damn film? Would you tell Antonioni, shoot the damn film? Would you tell Bergman, shoot the damn film?
No, I'm telling you. Shoot the damn film.
Better yet, shoot the damn Diane.
S5 E25A House Is Not a Home
That's it. We have always done things your way. I have bent over backwards to make you happy. I bought the ring you wanted. The china you wanted. The crystal you wanted. I even agreed to have a duvet cover on my bed. I don't know what a duvet is or what it's supposed to cover. When are we going to do something that I want to do?
May I remind you we're going to Disney World for our honeymoon.
Big deal. Who isn't?
I'm not ready to own a home. You got to work up to that.
Sammy's right. It's a big responsibility. You got lawns to mow. You got plumbing to fix, gutters to clean. Then every couple of years you've got to paint the entire thing from top to bottom. Honestly I don't know where Vera gets the energy.
Norm, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Yeah, I guess I should, shouldn't I? Well thank God I'm not.
S5 E26I Do, Adieu
SSumner
Excuse me, young man. I'm Dr. Sumner Sloane. I'm looking for Diane Chambers.
Gee, I hope she's not sick.
SSumner
No, I'm not a medical doctor. I'm in the literature department at Boston University where I occupy a chair.
Hey don't worry about it. That's all I did in school too.
Hey, have a good life.
Have a good life?
What?
Well, that's something you say when somethings over. Sam, I'm going away for six months. That's all. So no more of this 'Have a good life' stuff.
You never know. You could die, I could die, the world could end. One of us could bump our heads and wander the streets the rest of our lives with amnesia. Or maybe, one of us will decide we want something else.
None of those things will happen. I'll be back here. I will. I'll see you in six months, OK?
[Diane exits Cheers]
Have a good life....
S6 E1Home Is the Sailor
[about Diane] I was afraid I was going to walk in here today and see her face everywhere I looked. Instead what I saw was all these silly changes you made.
I happen to think it's...
No, no, it's good. It helped me. What I'm trying to say is this place is the closest thing I have close to a real home. I want to come back. Please.
I'm very sorry, Mr. Malone. I wish I could help.
[to Sam] Alright, I'll give you another chance. But I want to make something very clear - you've just got one chance left, and as far as I'm concerned, again, in baseball-ese: bottom of the 9th, you've got 2 outs, 2 strikes...and no balls.
S6 E2'I' on Sports
Well you used to be the boss. How did you feel when people lied to you?
I had a rule, when anyone ever lied to me they had to go to bed with me.
That's one way to make sure it won't happen again.
What am I going to do about this?
Sam, may I suggest deception?
Well hold onto your horses there, Frasier. I mean as a psychiatrist isn't your job to seek and uphold the truth?
Get real, Cliff.
S6 E3Little Carla, Happy at Last: Part 1
What is so bad? Twins means we're twice blessed.
Yeah, I had twins once and it was the happiest day of my life.
