- Norm Peterson: A flaw on the x-ray.
- [everyone breathes a sigh of relief for Norm]
- Cliff Clavin: Oh, let me buy you a drink, Normie.
- Norm Peterson: No, no, no, no, not right now, Cliff. Right now I think I'm going to take a little walk with a gentleman I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to lately: Norm Peterson.
- Diane Chambers: I think I understand.
- Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso: Well, I don't, but I'm sure you'll tell me later.
- Diane Chambers: Sometimes there is no pleasure in conquest.
- Sam Malone: Yeah, I haven't forgotten our first night together either.
- Diane Chambers: [about Carla's depression from losing a bet to Diane] She should be over this by now. It's been weeks. I've robbed her of her zest for life.
- Sam Malone: You do have that affect on people.
- [Coach has agreed to judge a contest between Diane and Carla]
- Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso: [to Diane and Carla] Now, if either one of you suspects any wrong-doing, you come to me and I'll make an immediate and final decision.
- Diane Chambers: Do we have any appeal?
- Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso: Well, I think you're both cute as a button, but that's not going to affect my decision.
- Diane Chambers: [about Norm wanting to go to Bora Bora in a cargo ship] Norman, wait a minute. What about a passport? What about shots?
- Norm Peterson: I already have my passport. And believe it or not, you don't need any shots for Bora Bora. There isn't any disease there.
- Carla Tortelli: Lunacy is on its way.
- Norm Peterson: [about a spot found on his chest x-ray] Ever since I heard this news, all I can think of is how I may be coming to the end of my life with nothing to show for it.
- Diane Chambers: Well, you've got all of us, your friends. And we're going to be with you, all the way through this.
- Sam Malone: You bet.
- Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso: You mean we're going to have to have the surgery and everything, Diane? I'm not saying I won't do it.
- Diane Chambers: I'll explain it later, Coach.
- Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso: Everybody says, "I'll explain it later".
