It is mentioned that Diane's attempt to finish her novel failed and that she moved to Hollywood to write for TV.
Wayne: That drink does not exist. Norm: There's been many a morning I wish to God it hadn't.
Sam: This place doesn't even look like my office anymore. Rebecca: Thank you. It wasn't easy.
Rebecca: Miss Tortelli, you have a couple of customers in the corner that look like they're on the verge of a good time. You better hurry over there and put your usual stop to it.
Carla: Yeah but don't go by me. I've hated every boss I've ever had. Sam: How can you say that? I was your boss. Carla: Yeah right.
Frasier: So Carla, what did Eddie say about his impending fatherhood? Carla: He wants to think about it.
Eddie: You know I passed Norm Peterson on the stairs and he didn't give me the time of day. Woody: It's 3:15.
(About Diane) Sam: I was afraid I was going to walk in here today and see her face everywhere I looked. Instead what I saw was all these silly changes you made. Rebecca: I happen to think it's... Sam: No no, it's good. It helped me. What I'm trying to say is this place is the closest thing I have close to a real home. I want to come back. Please. Rebecca: I'm very sorry, Mr. Malone. I wish I could help.
Carla: Time for Operation "Wayne Down The Dwain."
(On being a full-time bartender.) Sam: (to Rebecca) Does that include all the perks - dental, medical... horizontal?
Rebecca: It's funny. We've only known each other for seconds, and I'm already tired of you.
(On his boat sinking.) Sam: I discovered a reef nobody had ever heard of. I even named it after me, too. No Brains Atoll.
(Sam on seeing Rebecca for the first time.) Sam: (wide-eyed) Boo-ah!
Sam: I don't have enough money to buy an ice cube.
Wayne: (leaving in a huff) Miss Howe, I'm sorry. I gave it a shot, but obviously I'm not liked by the customers or the employees! "Screaming Viking!" Al: I haven't been called that since my honeymoon!
Rebecca: Alright, I'll give you another chance. But I want to make something very clear - you've just got one chance left, and as far as I'm concerned, again, in baseball-ese: bottom of the 9th, you've got 2 outs, 2 strikes... (meaningfully) ...and no balls.
This episode was filmed on August 4, 1987.
This is Kirstie Alley's first appearance as Rebecca Howe.
Diane is mentioned several times by many characters in this episode.
Kirstie Alley had only done serious roles before "Cheers". She was worried that people would think she couldn't do comedy. So when she went to tryout for the part of Rebecca, she did it dressed as Shelley Long, blonde wig and all.
Writers Glen Charles & Les Charles earned an Emmy nomination for Best Writing in a Comedy Series for this episode.
Rebecca blames the hijinks that caused Wayne to quit on "Sam and his Katzenjammer Kids." Katzenjammer Kids is the world's second oldest comic strip and is about brothers who rebel against authority with their hijinks.
