- 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.
- Diane Chambers: [after the latest in an long, constant bout of sneezing caused by her "allergy"] Aren't you going to say "gesundheit"?
- Frasier Crane: Diane, I'm afraid we've moved past "gesundheit." We're now on our way to "stuff a sock in it."
- 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.
