- Diane Chambers: [about bowling alleys] Ah, the alleys. Thanks. It's really a sensory experience, you know. The scent of Aqua Net on a beehive hairdo. The roar of polyester rubbing against old naugahyde. The sight of a cigarette stubbed out on a patty melt. All this plus the anticipation of placing your feet in shoes only seven thousand others have worn before you.
- Gary: [to the gang at Cheers about Gary's Old Towne Tavern beating them in a baseball game] You guys have nothing to hang your heads about. You played hard, you played clean, you gave it your all. Just remember, it takes two sides to make a victory: one side to win, and you guys.
- Sam Malone: Oh, by the way, Tawny wasn't the only one looking sexy out there in bowling shoes.
- Diane Chambers: Well, thank you.
- Sam Malone: No, no, no, I was talking about me. You know, I'm surprised you didn't mention it. No, seriously, seriously, great form out there.
- Diane Chambers: Thank you.
- Sam Malone: Oh no, no, I was still talking about me. All right, all jokes aside here, thank you very much for helping me beat Gary.
- Diane Chambers: Well, I was getting tired of listening to some ignorant blowhard take himself and some stupid competition so seriously.
- Sam Malone: Oh, boy, he really does that, doesn't he?
- Diane Chambers: No, I was talking about you.
- Sam Malone: I've never begged for anything in my life...
- [Diane clears her throat loudly]
- Sam Malone: ...that I actually enjoyed once I got it.
- Carla Tortelli: [at the bowling alley] Back off buster, or I'll put vaseline in your finger holes.
- Gary: Just try to touch my ball.
- Carla Tortelli: I was talking about your nose.
