• Sy Flembeck : Alright. The Cheers theme by Sy Flembeck. Beer and pretzels that's our game, C-H-E-R-S. If you don't come here that's a shame, C-H-E-R-S. With a C-C here and a C-C there...

  Rebecca Howe : Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait, wait! What are you doing that's all wrong! First of all, "Cheers" is spelled with 2 Es. Second, I paid you a lot of money to come up with an original tune.

  Sy Flembeck : You don't need an original tune, you want something that will bore a hole through the public's little pea-brains.

  Rebecca Howe : You are all hype and no substance. I was mesmerized by your show-business savvy. You couldn't write a jingle to save your life.

  Sy Flembeck : Hey babe, come on, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute, what is it? Huh, what, what, what? The "Old MacDonald" melody? Hey I can change that! Sy Flembeck is nothing if he's not versatile. Alright just a second. OK, OK, OK, I got it. Beer and pretzels, that's our game, that's our game, that's our game, beer and pretzels, that's our game, C-H-E-R-S. E-E, E-E!

  Rebecca Howe : Out.

  Sy Flembeck : What's the matter, babe? Can't work with a man you're attracted to?

  Rebecca Howe : Oh God, out!

  Sy Flembeck : I'll be home all night, the payphone's just down the hall from my room.
