Quotes 

• Sam Malone : [after a fight about their past relationship, where Diane is about ready to storm out of Sam's office]  I'm sorry.

  Diane Chambers : What?

  Sam Malone : I'm sorry. I did the best I could when I was with you. I mean, you're right, I have blind spots, and I'm not a very good boyfriend. I have never tried harder with any woman in my life. I mean, we had some bad times, but I tell you, the good times with you were some of the best of my life.

  Diane Chambers : That's the nicest thing you ever said to me.

  Sam Malone : Diane...

  Diane Chambers : No, Sam, stop. I want to get out of here before you say something stupid that ruins it.

  Sam Malone : Oh, no, no, no...

  Diane Chambers : No, no, no, no, now stop. Don't ruin it.

  Sam Malone : I'm not going to ruin, it. I...

  Diane Chambers : Sh-sh. Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh.

  [she walks out of the office] 

  Sam Malone : [thinks for a second]  Oh, yeah, that would have ruined it. Oh, would it ever.

• Diane Chambers : I really can't say anything.

  Sam Malone : Ahhh, I can't believe you're so blatantly jealous. You still can't stand the sight of me with another woman, huh?

  Diane Chambers : My heart goes out to any living creature in your company.

  Sam Malone : You know, one of these days you're going to wise up and realize that if you want a chance at getting back together with me, you're going to have to start talking a little nicer.

  Diane Chambers : Sam, you are an unmitigated egomaniac.

  Sam Malone : Too little, too late.
