- Sam: What do you think I should say to them?
Diane: Oh well, it's very very simple. Just walk up and say hello we're a group of sniveling bigots and we don't care for your kind.
Cliff: That's good. edit » - Carla: I'm not exactly crazy about them. I mean I get enough competition from women. I'm tell you if guys keep coming out of the closet there isn't going to be anybody left to date and I'm going to have to start going out with girls. (looks at Diane) Ewww.
Diane: Carla, you don't have to worry about me. I like my dates a little more masculine than you. Not much but a little. edit » - Sam: Bars don't turn gay over night. edit »
