Cliff Clavin
- Esther Clavin: [looking at photos in a scrapbook with Cliff] Oh look, there's your favorite hiding place in the closet. You used to be in there for hours.
- Cliff Clavin: Yeah, it's because you used to always lock the door on me Ma.
- Esther Clavin: Well, look at the result, you're a very polite young man.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: All right, stop everything. I've got a major news flash. I just had lunch with Miss Howe's former college classmate, and it seems that she had a nickname at UConn.
- Sam Malone: Give, give.
- Dr. Frasier Crane: Well, he wasn't sure how she came by this appellation, but it seems that at some point during her little sojourn there, she became known as... Backseat Becky.
- [general laughter among the crowd]
- Woody Boyd: Boy, what do you suppose that means?
- Cliff Clavin: Woody, what that means is...
- Carla LeBec: Cliff, Cliff, why don't you let someone who's been there tell it. Woods, she likes to do her cushion pushin' on four wheels.
- Woody Boyd: Miss Howe? Really? You know, back where I come from, we used to say something about girls like that.
- Carla LeBec: What?
- Woody Boyd: Let's date 'em.
- [Rebecca enters the room]
- Sam Malone: [looking in Rebecca's direction] Oh, looky here. Something tells me I'm going to be completely obnoxious about this.
- [everyone laughs as Rebecca approaches]
- Rebecca Howe: What's so funny?
- Sam Malone: Oh, we were just talking about nicknames, you know, different funny nicknames that people have. Did you ever have a nickname?
- Rebecca Howe: As a matter of fact, no.
- Sam Malone: Really? Nothing, huh? Not a Sparky, or Lefty, or Bubba?
- Rebecca Howe: Sorry.
- Sam Malone: Guys, we oughta give Rebecca here a nickname. Ah, you know, something that kind of fits her personality: kind of dignified, kind of businesslike, kind of reserved. Let me think a minute.
- [pauses]
- Sam Malone: Anybody?
- Dr. Frasier Crane, Carla LeBec, Cliff Clavin, Tim, Hugh, Norm Peterson: [loudly] Backseat Becky.
- [Rebecca slinks down behind the bar in embarrassment]
- Sam Malone: Gee, that works for me.
- Woody Boyd: I kind of like Bubba.
