    Back in the Saddle

    Cheers is back in business and is going to have a grand opening. Meanwhile, Carla has gone to a yuppie bar to work, and it pays her a much larger salary. Same sends Cliff and Norm to bring her back to cheers but this place is really jumping. Soon, most of the regulars are there and no one is coming back. There is also a conflict between Kelly and Woody who are in different denominations of the Lutheran church. Woody is really worked up because he is Missouri synod and thinks other Lutherans are heretics.

    • Quotes

      Bartender: Carla, I'm going to put a new trainee with you for the next two weeks. She's a bright girl, she's an Anthropology student at BU.

      Bartender: [looking off toward the kitchen] Ellen?

      [from the kitchen, a blonde in a cashmere sweater á la Diane Chambers, walks toward Carla]

      Ellen: Well, you must be Carla. I know what you must be thinking - she doesn't look like a waitress. That's because I'm really a writer. Or actuellement, a poetess.

      Carla Tortelli-LeBec: [turning, screaming and running away] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
