- Diane Chambers: No, it has to mean something, Sam.
- Sam Malone: I'm only going to agree to do this if we agree that it doesn't mean anything.
- Diane Chambers: [Indignant] How can our lovemaking not mean something?
- Diane Chambers: Well it's easy, just concentrate.
- Diane Chambers: [at a Cape Cod inn] I'm kind of glad you're here. I've been sitting here driving myself crazy. When we used to come here, wasn't there a lobster trap out in the lobby?
- Sam Malone: Oh yeah. I guess the lobsters finally wised up and started coming in through the kitchen.
- [Sam and Diane are each by themselves at different tables at a restaurant and are the only diners]
- Sam Malone: Boy, you know the one thing I really hate is to eat alone. I always feel like someone's looking at me.
- Diane Chambers: I'm the only one here.
- Sam Malone: Well, you're looking at me.
- Sam Malone: [On phone] Okay, I'll see you in about two hours, then Vicky.
- Diane Chambers: I thought her name was Rhonda.
- Sam Malone: Er, Rhonda canceled... but that's good, because I like Vicky better than Rhonda. As a matter of fact I kinda hope Vicky cancels, because I have somebody even better, waiting in the wings.
- Diane Chambers: [Gives a triumphant smile] I know - me!
- Sam Malone: No, no, not...
- [Grimaces, then turns and walks away, Diane following]
