Quotes 

• Diane Chambers : Sam. Frasier and I have something important to tell you.

  Frasier Crane : Sam, this may be rough going. I mean, despite your vehement protests to the contrary, and with no intention of disparaging your sincerity, but Diane and I believe that you may still be suffering some emotional residue from the turbulent relationship you had with Diane.

  Sam Malone : I'm sorry Frasier. I must have dozed off for a paragraph or two.

• Sam Malone : I had a puppy once. My ex-wife took her. The little bitch. About this high.

• Frasier Crane : [about his dog, who Sam now owns]  So, Sam, listen, fill me in. I'm hungry for news about little Pavlov.

  Sam Malone : [a slight pause]  Pavlov? Oh, you must mean little Diane.

  Frasier Crane : I beg your pardon?

  Sam Malone : Yeah, I renamed the puppy "Diane". I figured you wouldn't mind. I mean it's my puppy now. Yeah, oh boy, I tell you, it's so wonderful. I come home, she gives me a little trouble, I swat her on the rear end, I say, "Shut up, Diane", and she does. It's heaven.

  Frasier Crane : Sam, I have to be honest with you. Changing the dog's name hurts me a little. Don't you think two "Diane"'s will be a little confusing?

  Sam Malone : Well, maybe you're right. I hadn't thought of that. Well, we'll just have to call your girlfriend "Pavlov".

• Norm Peterson : Sammy, Frasier walks out of here with Diane, and you get to go home to a dog.

  Sam Malone : Yeah. Somebody up there likes me.
