Quotes 

• 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".
