Quotes 

• Sam Malone : Hey, listen. Those guys are staying. If anyone else wants to leave, that's fine.

  Norm Peterson : OK, Sammy, you know what kind of bar this is going to turn into.

  Sam Malone : It's not going to turn into the kind of bar that I have to throw people out of.

  Diane Chambers : That's the noblest preposition you've ever dangled.

• Diane Chambers : [durring Sams interview when he is jumped with the fact that Tom is gay and starts babaling Diane gives him an out and they are in the back room]  I was fast but you were faster.

• Diane Chambers : Carla, you're not prejudiced against gays, are you?

  Carla Tortelli : Well, I'm not exactly crazy about 'em. I mean, I get enough competition from women. I'm telling you, if guys keep coming out of the closet, there isn't going to be anybody left to date and I'm going to have to start going out with girls.

  [Carla looks over at Diane and shudders in horror] 

  Diane Chambers : Carla, you don't have to worry about me. I like my dates a little more masculine than you. Not much, but a little.

• Diane Chambers : This afternoon, I spent five entire hours in a sensory deprivation tank.

  Carla Tortelli : Your room?

• [the regulars are trying to decide whether two patrons at the other end of the bar are gay] 

  Jack : [Switches on the TV; yells]  Hey! Look at the bagonzas on that babe!

  [the two patrons don't react] 

  Diane Chambers : [Looking up at the TV]  Oh, this is medieval.

  Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso : [Looking up at the TV]  I never knew Lorne Greene had bagonzas!
