• [Diane is comparing her and Sam's relationship to Candi and Frasier's] 

  Diane Chambers : We were as you are diametrically opposed personalities. Oh, at first, our differences were charming to us. I found Sam's lack of refinement and sophistication crudely provocative.

  Sam Malone : Yeah, and I liked the way her hair smelled.

  Diane Chambers : I'm sure in addition you were excited by the intellectual vistas to which I exposed you.

  Sam Malone : Ah, no, I really think it was that conditioner.

  Diane Chambers : The point I'm trying to make is that the only thing we had was a great physical relationship.

  Sam Malone : And we had a lot of that.

• Sam Malone : [musing about the possibility of Sam asking Diane to marry him]  What would your answer be?

  Diane Chambers : Ah, no, Sam, that's the sort of question that has to be asked before it can be answered.

  Sam Malone : Well, if I heard the answer, maybe it would be easier for me to ask the question.

  Diane Chambers : Very well. The answer's no.

  Sam Malone : Well then the question was, "Have you ever met a man who gave you the hots more than me?"

  Diane Chambers : I'd like to change my answer.

  Sam Malone : Fine, fine.

  Diane Chambers : Then the answer is yes.

  Sam Malone : Well then the question was, "Do you want to go to bed with me?"

  Diane Chambers : I want to change my answer again.

  Sam Malone : Well that's OK, and I'll change my question too. "Is there any way you would not object to not going to bed with me?"

  Diane Chambers : [Diane thinks for a second]  Wait a minute...

  [Sam chuckles at her]
