Quotes 

• [the gang are talking about predicting who the next president will be] 

  Cliff Clavin : I've got a pet little theory about that. You see, if you go back in history and take every president, you'll find that the numerical value of each letter in their last name was equally divisible into the year in which they were elected.

  Paul : So who's going to win, Cliff? Reagan again?

  Norm Peterson : What, Mondale?

  Cliff Clavin : No, no, not a chance. You see, I figured it out. By my calculations, the next president has to be named Yelnik McWawa.

  Sam Malone : That's the stupidest name I've ever heard.

  Ernie 'Coach' Pantusso : Sam, please. You're talking about our next president.

• Sam Malone : So Norm, what was Kennedy doing at the Copley?

  Norm Peterson : Having lunch. I got his autograph.

  Paul : You disturbed him during his lunch?

  Norm Peterson : No, God. I waited until he went to the men's room.

  Norm Peterson : [reads the paper with the autograph]  "Marty Kroeger"?

  Norm Peterson : [ripping up the paper in disgust]  I got the wrong stall.
