- Cliff Clavin: Boy oh boy, talk about your lucky days, huh, I just found twenty smackers back there in the pool room. And to celebrate my good fortune, I'm going to buy a round a drinks for all my friends.
- Carla Tortelli: What are you going to do with the other nineteen bucks?
- Sam Malone: Woody, that could be your twenty dollar bill, the one you lost.
- Woody Boyd: Hey yeah, you know I was in the pool room earlier.
- Cliff Clavin: Hey, wait a second. Let's be fair about this. Give me the serial number.
- Sam Malone: Oh, come on man. Nobody knows serial numbers.
- Woody Boyd: L21886119B
- Cliff Clavin: [hands the bill to Woody] That's amazing.
- Sam Malone: How did you do that?
- Woody Boyd: I memorize the serial numbers on all my currency.
- Sam Malone: Why?
- Woody Boyd: For just such an occasion. Tell you though, I pray every day I don't get rich.
- Sam Malone: It looks like where the dogs sleep.
- Diane Chambers: It is. The dogs sleep with us. You wouldn't want to freeze, would you?
- Sam Malone: Diane, I didn't sleep with dogs when I was single. I'm not about to start now.
- Diane Chambers: For goodness sake, don't you want to taste the exciting and fascinating things that life has to offer?
- Sam Malone: Nope, I'd rather marry you.
- Woody Boyd: Hey, Mister Peterson, what do you say to a cold one?
- Norm Peterson: See you later, Vera. I'll be at Cheers.
- Diane Chambers: [about their honeymoon] I told you where I want to go: Tibet.
- Sam Malone: Well, it's our honeymoon. Of course we're going to bed.
- Diane Chambers: Aren't you coming?
- Sam Malone: Well, I have to take care of the bar here.
- Diane Chambers: Oh Sam, we've got to show Norman our impressive phalanx.
- Sam Malone: Oh, that's all right, honey. He's seen mine at the gym.
- Norm Peterson: I'm going to pitch it to my supervisor tomorrow, but I tell you, I'm a little nervous about putting my butt on the line.
- Carla Tortelli: How do you think the line feels?
- [after Thompkins steals Norm's proposal and the Board of Directors shoots it down]
- Diane Chambers: Now, Norman, please. Now don't let this phase you. You have to keep pushing. I know that this idea didn't succeed, but others will.
- Norm Peterson: No no, Diane, a few moments ago, I almost made the biggest mistake of my professional life and it was because I was doing something that just wasn't me. I am not a go-getter, I've never been a go-getter. What's more, I don't even want to be a go-getter. I'm very happy right where I am. I'm tired of all these people saying "Peterson, you gotta push", "You gotta get ahead", "You gotta make that goal." I don't even want to make the goal, Diane. I want to be a bench warmer, OK? The world needs bench warmers. I mean, if there were no bench warmers, what would we have? We'd have... cold benches. A lot of cold benches and the world does not need that, Diane. In this great pageantry of life, Norm Peterson may be a motionless lump, but he's a very damn good one.
- Diane Chambers: Norman, I've never seen you so impassioned.
- Norm Peterson: That's because I believe in this, Diane. Look, Norm Peterson is totally happy being an anonymous cog in the gigantic machinery of this firm.
