• 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.

• Norm Peterson : One night, Vito let's a gay group hold a meeting in the back room, right? Gay's for the... metric system. Story got in the newspaper, gets a lot of attention, and next thing you know, Vito's Pub turns into...

  Norm Peterson : [in an effeminate voice]  ... Vito's Pub.

  Norm Peterson : All the regulars left, Sammy. Out went the oars and the moose heads, in came the plants and ferns. Ferns - eww. I just don't want that to happen to Cheers, that's all.

  Sam Malone : I don't believe that stuff. Bars don't turn gay overnight.

  Norm Peterson : You don't have to believe me. I have scientific proof. Cliff?

  Cliff Clavin : It happened.

  Norm Peterson : See!
