Quotes 

• Dr. Frasier Crane : All right, stop everything. I've got a major news flash. I just had lunch with Miss Howe's former college classmate, and it seems that she had a nickname at UConn.

  Sam Malone : Give, give.

  Dr. Frasier Crane : Well, he wasn't sure how she came by this appellation, but it seems that at some point during her little sojourn there, she became known as... Backseat Becky.

  [general laughter among the crowd] 

  Woody Boyd : Boy, what do you suppose that means?

  Cliff Clavin : Woody, what that means is...

  Carla LeBec : Cliff, Cliff, why don't you let someone who's been there tell it. Woods, she likes to do her cushion pushin' on four wheels.

  Woody Boyd : Miss Howe? Really? You know, back where I come from, we used to say something about girls like that.

  Carla LeBec : What?

  Woody Boyd : Let's date 'em.

  [Rebecca enters the room] 

  Sam Malone : [looking in Rebecca's direction]  Oh, looky here. Something tells me I'm going to be completely obnoxious about this.

  [everyone laughs as Rebecca approaches] 

  Rebecca Howe : What's so funny?

  Sam Malone : Oh, we were just talking about nicknames, you know, different funny nicknames that people have. Did you ever have a nickname?

  Rebecca Howe : As a matter of fact, no.

  Sam Malone : Really? Nothing, huh? Not a Sparky, or Lefty, or Bubba?

  Rebecca Howe : Sorry.

  Sam Malone : Guys, we oughta give Rebecca here a nickname. Ah, you know, something that kind of fits her personality: kind of dignified, kind of businesslike, kind of reserved. Let me think a minute.

  [pauses] 

  Sam Malone : Anybody?

  Dr. Frasier Crane , Carla LeBec , Cliff Clavin , Tim , Hugh , Norm Peterson : [loudly]  Backseat Becky.

  [Rebecca slinks down behind the bar in embarrassment] 

  Sam Malone : Gee, that works for me.

  Woody Boyd : I kind of like Bubba.
