Quotes3

  • Bill Ray: Well, how does it feel to turn 80?
  • Norman: Twice as bad as it did turning 40.
  • Bill Ray: You're having a good time, aren't you?
  • Norman: Huh?
  • Bill Ray: Chelsea told me all about how you like to have a good old time with people's heads. She does too, sometimes. Sometimes I can get into it and sometimes not. I think you should know, I'm pretty good at recognizing crap when I hear it. You know, it's not imperative that you and I become friends. I thought it would be nice. I'm sure you're a very fascinating person, and I thought it would be fascinating getting to know you. That's obviously not an easy task... No. You just go ahead and be... as poopy as you want, to quote Chelsea, and I'll be as receptive and as pleasant as I can be. But I want you to bear one thing in mind while you're jerking me around, making me feel like an asshole. I know precisely what you're up to. I'll take just so much of it. OK?... Now what is the bottom line on this illicit sex question?
  • Norman: Very good. That was a good speech. Bottom line, huh? You're a bottom-line man? All right, here's the bottom line... OK.
  • Bill Ray: Hm?
  • Norman: You seem like a nice man. A bit verbose, but nice...
  • Bill Ray: Thank you.
  • Norman: ... and you're right about me. I am fascinating.
  • Bill Ray: I'm sure you are.
  • Norman: Let's get back to talking about sex... Anything you want to know, just ask me.
  • Bill Ray: No, I just... uh, I just wanted to clear up that little question. Chelsea and I can sleep together, right?
  • Norman: Sure, please do.
  • [pauses, resumes reading]
  • Norman: Just don't let Ethel catch you.
  • Bill Ray: [as he heads out to the lake to go skinny-dipping with Ethel and Chelsea] Are there any bears around here?
  • Norman: Oh, sure. Black bears and grizzlies. One of 'em came along here last month and ate an old lesbian.
