      • Norm: (walks in bar) Afternoon, everybody. All people in bar: Norm! Cliff: (walks in bar) Afternoon, everybody. All people in bar: (Silence)

      • Cliff: Hey Sam, you've got this textbook here. Why are you asking Diane for? Sam: It's more fun to steal than to study.

      • Sam: Does anybody remember anything that Diane has said about Impressionism? Carla: No, but I know she makes a bad first one.

      • Sam: You know I always say-"If it wasn't for all the people who say they never come to singles bars, singles bars would be out of business." Norm: Didn't Diane used to say that? Carla: When you talk all the time you're bound to say everything eventually.

      • Norm: Cliff, just how long did it take for you to create this little world you live in.

      • Sam: What would you like, Norm? Norm: A reason to live. Keep them coming.

      • Norm: Yeah, Cliffy had himself the "Ton O' T-Bone". For less than four bucks you get 24 ounces of USDA Choice "bef". Cliff: Bef? No, you mean beef. Norm: Beef? Don't be ridiculous, Cliffy. That stuff is "bef". You see it's a Hungry heifer trademark for a processed, synthetic – what – meat-like substance. Cliff: Ah, no. Norm: What do you expect for four bucks? You see me complainin' about the "loobster"?

      • [Norm and Cliff come back to the bar after lunch] Carla: So, how was your meal at The Hungry Heifer? Norm: Well, Cliff was a little fussy at first; but I think I made a convert out of this guy. Carla: Really? Cliff: Well, uh, yeah, my steak was a little gristly; but, uh, what do you expect from a place decorated with a mule depicting the Heimlich maneuver.

      • [Frasier is talking to Diane; Sam interrupts to ask about an artist] Frasier: What was that all about? Diane: Sam is developing an interest in the Impressionists Frasier: Hmm. Diane: Hmm, what? Frasier: Hmm, this is suspicious. I think it's part of Sam's grand design to win you back. Diane: Oh, not this again. It's starting to sound like a broken record. Frasier: Oh, now you're saying that I'm redundant, that I repeat myself, that I say things over and over.

      • [Cliff sees Paula Nelson enter the bar] Cliff: [to Norm] Hot babe, there, at twelve o'clock. I think it's the next notch on the old Clavin bedpost. Carla: The only notches on your bedpost come from banging your head in frustration.

      • Kelsey Grammer(Frasier) appears in this episode although he is not credited.

      • There is a mysterious credit of George R. Wendt as George; George Wendt doesn't play anyone besides Norm in the episode, although his middle initial is R. It is possible George Wendt brought his father on to play a barfly; an unknown older man sits next to Norm in the opening sketch.
