Quotes3

  • Diane Chambers: Hi, I'm finally here - better late than never.
  • Carla Tortelli: Wouldn't be my choice.
  • Diane Chambers: I trust you'll return the favor. I may have inadvertently left one or two things at your place. I'm almost sure I left my beige sweater there.
  • Sam Malone: No problem, I'll take a peek under the bed.
  • Diane Chambers: Oh, but you can keep that little hand puppet you loved so much.
  • Sam Malone: Hand puppet?
  • Diane Chambers: Yes, Brian the Lion.
  • Sam Malone: Oh yeah, Brian the Lion.
  • [Cut to Carla wiping down the front of the bar with what might possibly be a lion hand puppet]
  • Diane Chambers: Remember how touched you were that I actually gave you something I had in my childhood.
  • Sam Malone: Yeah, touched, extremely!
  • [Leans over the bar, and says quietly to Carla]
  • Sam Malone: I'll give you five bucks if you run out of the room right now. Go on.
  • Carla Tortelli: You got it!
  • [puts Brian the Lion to Sam on the bar in front of Sam. Sam picks it up and attempts to give it to the now departing Carla]
  • Sam Malone: No, no, take this with...
  • [He looks up and Diane sees Sam with Brian the Lion looking very much the worse for wear, in his hands. Diane inhales with a little shriek]
  • Diane Chambers: Brian?
  • Sam Malone: Oh, really? By golly, in this light it does look a bit like... Brian.
  • Diane Chambers: Brian the Lion - a bar rag? Sam Malone, you are the most insensitive, insufferable boob I've ever had the misfortune to run across.
  • Sam Malone: Oh come on, it just wasn't meant for things to work out between me and... Brian. I wasn't cut out to be a puppeteer.
  • Norm Peterson: That's got to be a tough thing for a man to admit in public.
  • Sam Malone: Oh come on!
  • [Putting Brian the Lion in front of his face and putting on his version of a lion voice]
  • Sam Malone: Oh come on, please Diane, Don't be mad at me, hmmm, please?
  • Diane Chambers: Well, I guess I'm overreacting.
  • Sam Malone: Oh good then how about a little kiss? Hmm?
  • [Still as Brian]
  • Diane Chambers: Oh-kaaay.
  • Sam Malone: And put some tongue in it!
  • [Diane grabs Brian the Lion, and looks at Sam with incomprehension]
  • Diane Chambers: I trust you'll return the favor. I may have inadvertently left one or two things at your place. I'm almost sure I left my beige sweater there.
