Quotes 

• Diane Chambers : Sam, I'll only ask this once. Now if you say no, it's no. But I would love to start doing caricatures of the customers here. Caricature is a satirical form of art that the common man loves and I think that it would just be a wonderful memento of our customers visits here...

  Sam Malone : No.

  Diane Chambers : ...and my art instructor said, he said I'm an original and this would be an invaluable experience, and...

  Sam Malone : No.

  Diane Chambers : ...and I'd only do it during the slow periods, so it really wouldn't interfere with my waiting tables.

  Sam Malone : No.

  Diane Chambers : So what do you say. Can I do it?

  Sam Malone : No.

  Diane Chambers : We'll talk about it later.

  Sam Malone : No... No, we won't talk about this later. I don't want you to do that stuff in here.

  Diane Chambers : I'm going to do it anyway.

  [Sam is flustered] 

  Sam Malone : [to Cliff]  At least she cleared it with me first.

• Norm Peterson : What do you sell?

  Roy : I sell suits door-to-door.

  Sam Malone : [pointing at what Roy's wearing]  Is this one of the suits, here?

  Roy : You took the bait, Sam.

  Sam Malone : I did?

  Roy : [handing over his cigar to his fiancée, Lisa]  Hold this.

  Roy : [standing up to show off what he's wearing]  I'm wearing an Omni suit right now, and man am I comfortable. The best part is it's versatility. This suit comes with two coats, three pairs of pants, and five reversible vests. This ensemble makes one hundred twenty combinations, everything from dignified to sporty. If you own one of these suits Sam, you can go straight from a funeral to a night on the town without even going home.

  Sam Malone : Well, I was trapped in just that situation Tuesday night.
