1
00:00:01,668 --> 00:00:04,505
Cheers <i>is filmed before
a live studio audience.</i>

2
00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:13,722
Oh, boy, that's the third time
you beat me, Mike.

3
00:00:13,889 --> 00:00:16,683
- I guess I owe you another beer.
- No, that's okay. I gotta run.

4
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:18,143
I'll take a rain check
on that one, huh?

5
00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:22,814
Lost again, huh?

6
00:00:22,981 --> 00:00:25,025
Yeah, I don't know
what's the matter with me.

7
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:27,152
It seems like that guy just has
my number, you know?

8
00:00:27,319 --> 00:00:29,613
Forget about it.
Next time he comes in here,

9
00:00:29,780 --> 00:00:32,533
you just challenge him
to some Italian arm wrestling.

10
00:00:32,991 --> 00:00:35,369
- Oh, I never tried that.
- Come here.

11
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:36,453
Give me your arm.

12
00:00:37,621 --> 00:00:40,666
Okay, now, I'm gonna pull
as hard as I can,

13
00:00:40,832 --> 00:00:42,751
and you resist me
with all your strength.

14
00:00:42,918 --> 00:00:44,336
- All right.
- Go.

15
00:00:49,841 --> 00:00:51,927
I beat Carla!

16
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:53,720
And I'm not even Italian.

17
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:08,879
You wine them.

18
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:10,672
You dine them.

19
00:02:11,465 --> 00:02:12,966
Tell them how pretty they are.

20
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:15,302
Buy them fancy presents.

21
00:02:15,886 --> 00:02:18,889
Finally, you get up the nerve to ask
one of the little dears to marry you.

22
00:02:19,056 --> 00:02:21,350
What do you get
for all your trouble? Squat.

23
00:02:21,516 --> 00:02:25,145
I thought you'd pretty much gotten
over that Diane problem of yours.

24
00:02:25,312 --> 00:02:26,897
Oh, it's not as serious as it sounds.

25
00:02:27,064 --> 00:02:31,109
See, this is the one-year anniversary of
the day Diane deserted me at the altar.

26
00:02:31,276 --> 00:02:34,237
To repress my bitterness would be
detrimental to my recovery.

27
00:02:34,404 --> 00:02:37,324
So on this day, and on this day alone,

28
00:02:37,491 --> 00:02:39,868
I'm going to spew out my venom

29
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:43,955
and exorcise the blond demon
that haunts my soul.

30
00:02:44,456 --> 00:02:46,583
Well, happy anniversary.

31
00:02:51,213 --> 00:02:52,756
Holy moly guacamole.

32
00:02:52,923 --> 00:02:54,424
Terre Haute, Indiana.

33
00:02:56,093 --> 00:02:59,137
Oh, I wouldn't throw her out of my bed
for eating crackers.

34
00:02:59,304 --> 00:03:00,806
Why else would she be there?

35
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:08,939
Yeah, that's very humorous, Normie.

36
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,359
Yeah, in light of the fact that
a leading woman's magazine

37
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:15,987
just recently completed a survey
which showed that postmen

38
00:03:16,154 --> 00:03:18,073
are the most desired lovers
right after...

39
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,701
Rock stars and heart surgeons.

40
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:22,953
Well, you know what they
say down at the PO...

41
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,830
"Postmen deliver daily."

42
00:03:27,749 --> 00:03:30,877
Have we had this
conversation before, Norm?

43
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:33,213
Cliff ie, we've had every
conversation before.

44
00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:37,342
Boy, when people start finishing
each other's sentences, they're...

45
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:39,553
Spending far too much time together.

46
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:45,517
Say, Woody, let me have
another beer there.

47
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:47,144
Hey, did you hear
the one about the...?

48
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:49,062
Shepherd and the parrot? Yeah.

49
00:03:51,773 --> 00:03:52,983
That was a good one.

50
00:03:57,154 --> 00:03:59,281
- I had a very nice time, Brian.
- Me too.

51
00:03:59,448 --> 00:04:01,992
Well, well, if it isn't
Kitten With a Whip.

52
00:04:04,995 --> 00:04:05,996
That's funny.

53
00:04:07,122 --> 00:04:09,583
Sam, I'd like you to meet Brian.

54
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,042
Brian, this is Sam.

55
00:04:11,209 --> 00:04:12,627
And...?

56
00:04:12,794 --> 00:04:15,338
Oh, this is, yeah, April.
April, that's Brian.

57
00:04:16,131 --> 00:04:17,257
Hi.

58
00:04:18,008 --> 00:04:20,594
- And I'm obviously, I guess, Diane.
- Oh, right, yeah.

59
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:26,141
- So you two have a good time?
- Oh, very nice. Very nice time.

60
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:29,895
- Yeah, we had a great time.
- Yeah, we had a fabulous time.

61
00:04:30,562 --> 00:04:32,230
It was just a movie
and a burger afterwards.

62
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:33,774
Oh, but what a film.

63
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,193
And the ground beef
was excellent, very lean.

64
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:40,655
Listen, I wanna thank you
for giving me a ride home.

65
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:43,200
That's a great car you've got there.

66
00:04:43,366 --> 00:04:46,369
Yes, Brian has a wonderful car too,
and it gets excellent mileage.

67
00:04:47,037 --> 00:04:48,330
What kind of mileage you get?

68
00:04:49,247 --> 00:04:52,125
Thirty-five on the highway,
26 around town.

69
00:04:52,542 --> 00:04:55,879
Thirty-two and 24. Sorry.

70
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:01,384
Well, thanks again.

71
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:20,904
Goodnight.

72
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:28,453
What a putrid display.

73
00:05:31,206 --> 00:05:34,459
You know, people come here
to relax and enjoy themselves.

74
00:05:34,626 --> 00:05:36,628
They don't wanna look at that.
Do you?

75
00:05:37,128 --> 00:05:38,588
Yeah!

76
00:05:40,173 --> 00:05:41,299
This is sick.

77
00:05:43,969 --> 00:05:46,638
Brian has a big-screen TV.

78
00:05:46,805 --> 00:05:49,683
- April has a satellite dish.
- You are so childish.

79
00:05:50,225 --> 00:05:51,434
Excuse me, are you the owner?

80
00:05:51,601 --> 00:05:53,603
Yeah, that's right, Sam Malone.
What can I do for you?

81
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:56,439
Hi. Phil Schumacher, campaign
manager for Janet Eldridge.

82
00:05:56,982 --> 00:05:59,150
She's running for re-election
to city council.

83
00:05:59,317 --> 00:06:01,194
Listen, the councilor
is just down the street

84
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:03,196
on a walking tour of the district.

85
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:05,699
Would it be all right
if she came in to meet the folks,

86
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:08,869
and perhaps answer some questions
for the newspaper reporters?

87
00:06:09,035 --> 00:06:11,288
- Sure. Why not?
- Great. Thanks a lot, Sam.

88
00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:14,583
Hey, how about that? We're a stop
on the old campaign trail.

89
00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:17,252
Oh, Sam. You're so politically naive.

90
00:06:17,419 --> 00:06:20,213
Janet Eldridge is an
old-money conservative

91
00:06:20,380 --> 00:06:23,341
who consistently supports
big-business interests

92
00:06:23,508 --> 00:06:27,846
over badly-needed social programs.
She's a real political opportunist.

93
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,099
Well, if she's that bad,
I'll have her out of here in a flash.

94
00:06:31,266 --> 00:06:33,518
Ladies and gentlemen,
Councilor Janet Eldridge.

95
00:06:36,521 --> 00:06:38,607
She's got until Christmas,
then she's out of here.

96
00:06:40,650 --> 00:06:42,736
I could use your support
in the upcoming election.

97
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:43,862
Yeah, right.

98
00:06:44,029 --> 00:06:46,489
You got fame, money,
power and looks.

99
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:48,950
- What you need, I ain't got.
- I need your vote.

100
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:52,412
I need a man. But you don't see me
going around bars begging for one.

101
00:06:53,371 --> 00:06:57,250
I give. I know when I'm overmatched.
I'm glad I'm not running against you.

102
00:06:58,335 --> 00:07:00,587
She's smooth. I'll give her that.

103
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:02,964
Sam, I'd like you
to meet Councilor Eldridge.

104
00:07:03,131 --> 00:07:04,341
Councilor, this is--

105
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:06,343
"Mayday' Malone needs
no introduction to me

106
00:07:06,509 --> 00:07:07,469
or anyone else in this town.

107
00:07:07,636 --> 00:07:09,679
I was a big fan
when you pitched for the Sox.

108
00:07:09,846 --> 00:07:10,972
I think you're just wonderful.

109
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:12,682
Well, it's mutual.

110
00:07:12,849 --> 00:07:16,019
- Oh, you're a fan of the councilor's?
- No, I think I'm wonderful too.

111
00:07:20,065 --> 00:07:22,275
Hey, hey, hey, Sammy.

112
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:25,528
Unless these tired old eyes
are deceiving me, pal,

113
00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:27,697
there's something going on
between you and the councilor.

114
00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:31,368
I don't think so. No, no, no.

115
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:35,163
Watching that woman work this room
has brought me to a decision.

116
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:37,332
You've decided to work it too
for a change?

117
00:07:38,833 --> 00:07:41,461
I'm going to campaign
for Janet Eldridge's opponent

118
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:43,838
- in the coming election.
- Is that right?

119
00:07:44,005 --> 00:07:46,424
I've voted for him before,
but he really needs my help now.

120
00:07:47,217 --> 00:07:49,427
Would anyone like to join me
in this campaign?

121
00:07:49,594 --> 00:07:51,596
Working side by side untiringly

122
00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:53,807
to carry James Fleener to victory?

123
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:54,849
I would.

124
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:59,104
James Fleener is the finest man
to enter public life in the last decade.

125
00:07:59,562 --> 00:08:01,064
I'd be honored to work for him.

126
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:04,401
All right. He needs all the help
he can get.

127
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:07,529
Who the hell is James Fleener?

128
00:08:09,489 --> 00:08:12,784
- Boy, oh, boy, is Miss Eldridge pretty.
- Yeah.

129
00:08:12,951 --> 00:08:16,037
You know, back home in Hanover,
everybody on the town council

130
00:08:16,204 --> 00:08:18,623
has a paunch
and smokes big, smelly cigars.

131
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:21,251
Don't you have any women
on the town council there, Woody?

132
00:08:21,751 --> 00:08:22,711
Yeah.

133
00:08:27,090 --> 00:08:30,969
Sammy, I've been noticing
she just can't take her eyes off you.

134
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:33,680
- You gonna ask her out?
- What are you talking about?

135
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:34,931
Well, look at her.

136
00:08:36,433 --> 00:08:38,101
She's a good woman, Sam.
She deserves it.

137
00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:40,061
I don't know.

138
00:08:41,604 --> 00:08:43,982
Yeah, politics makes
strange bedfellows, Sam.

139
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:46,985
So do you and anyone or anything.

140
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:52,407
Sammy, I guess she's
a little out of your league

141
00:08:52,574 --> 00:08:53,992
when you come right down to it, huh?

142
00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,119
Yeah, what's the matter, Sam?
She too much for you?

143
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:59,080
No, I just don't think it's a good idea
to hop into bed with someone

144
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:00,623
who could raise my taxes.

145
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:04,961
Councilor Eldridge will take
a few questions now.

146
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:07,213
Jerry Baker, <i>Boston Star.</i>

147
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:09,132
Councilor, do you support the effort

148
00:09:09,299 --> 00:09:11,468
of the so-called
Grant Avenue Coalition

149
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:14,345
to overturn the city council's rezoning

150
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:16,306
of that neighborhood
for commercial use?

151
00:09:16,473 --> 00:09:19,059
I voted in favor of rezoning
and would do so again.

152
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:20,894
My reasons are a matter
of public record.

153
00:09:21,061 --> 00:09:22,562
No, I do not support them.

154
00:09:24,272 --> 00:09:27,275
Clifford C. Clavin, US Postal Service,
South Central Branch.

155
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,280
In view of the carnage taking place
in our postal routes,

156
00:09:32,447 --> 00:09:34,866
are you in favor of beefing up
our leash laws to include

157
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:37,202
life imprisonment for
the canine offenders?

158
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:43,458
I think that's a bit drastic,
but I am in favor of doing all we can

159
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:46,586
to support our overworked
and underpaid postal carriers.

160
00:09:46,753 --> 00:09:48,046
You do a wonderful job.

161
00:09:48,213 --> 00:09:52,509
That woman has got my support,
and I will deliver you the postal vote.

162
00:09:52,675 --> 00:09:54,552
Too bad it'll be to the wrong address.

163
00:09:57,222 --> 00:09:59,307
My name is Diane Chambers,
and I have a question.

164
00:09:59,474 --> 00:10:02,602
- Do you work here?
- How come no one ever knows that?

165
00:10:04,062 --> 00:10:05,939
Yes, I'm a waitress and proud of it.

166
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:08,817
In a work-ethic kind of way.

167
00:10:10,527 --> 00:10:12,403
Councilor, you have been accused

168
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:15,281
of being out of touch
with your constituency.

169
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,534
Do you expect this little stroll
through the neighborhood

170
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:19,327
to make up for four years of neglect?

171
00:10:19,494 --> 00:10:21,037
- Hold on just...
- It's all right.

172
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:24,833
Miss Chambers, I represent every
one of the people in my district.

173
00:10:24,999 --> 00:10:27,001
If I don't get out and talk
as often as I'd like,

174
00:10:27,168 --> 00:10:29,254
it's because I'm in my office
or at council meetings

175
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:32,966
or in conference with civic
and business leaders 16 hours a day.

176
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:35,635
I've never missed a vote
in my four years on the council,

177
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:38,388
and if I'm elected again
I intend to work even harder

178
00:10:38,555 --> 00:10:40,557
for the people
I am privileged to represent.

179
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:48,231
Good, Diane,
you got her on the ropes.

180
00:10:49,190 --> 00:10:51,276
Tom Edwards, <i>Boston Sentinel.</i>

181
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,903
Oh, excuse me, I think this gentleman
had his hand up first.

182
00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:56,531
Yeah, I'm not a reporter,
I'm just a voter.

183
00:10:56,698 --> 00:10:58,199
But I have a very important question.

184
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:02,704
Do you like Chinese food, and if so,
have you ever eaten it in the bathtub?

185
00:11:05,123 --> 00:11:07,959
Yes, and no comment.

186
00:11:08,126 --> 00:11:10,712
Well, in that case I have
a follow-up question here.

187
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:13,631
What are you doing for dinner
Thursday night?

188
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,928
The offer is very tempting, Mr. Malone,
but I will have to respectfully decline.

189
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:21,723
- The campaign keeps me very busy.
- I understand.

190
00:11:21,890 --> 00:11:24,309
What I won't give up
for the people of this district.

191
00:11:25,435 --> 00:11:27,729
- Thank you all, ladies and gentlemen.
- Thank you very much.

192
00:11:30,982 --> 00:11:33,151
Look at that, Norm.
She shot Sammy down.

193
00:11:33,318 --> 00:11:35,612
Impeachment proceedings
should begin immediately.

194
00:11:36,779 --> 00:11:38,531
She may be out of touch
with the common man,

195
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:40,742
but she can sure spot
a common roach.

196
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:45,872
- Sam?
- Yeah?

197
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,750
This is Janet's private number.

198
00:11:48,917 --> 00:11:50,210
She wants you to call her.

199
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:59,010
- Guys, Janet's private number here.
- All right!

200
00:11:59,177 --> 00:12:02,805
Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!

201
00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:05,975
Fleener! Fleener! Fleener!

202
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:08,519
Okay. Fleener!

203
00:12:08,686 --> 00:12:10,939
- Sammy! Sammy!
- Fleener! Fleener!

204
00:12:20,865 --> 00:12:22,784
Say, Diane...

205
00:12:22,951 --> 00:12:26,871
...did you happen to hear
that Sam is going out

206
00:12:27,038 --> 00:12:29,707
with Councilor Eldridge
again tonight?

207
00:12:29,874 --> 00:12:32,001
I believe I heard something like that.

208
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:35,505
Did you know it was for dinner
at the governor's mansion?

209
00:12:35,672 --> 00:12:37,674
I recall someone mentioning it.

210
00:12:38,466 --> 00:12:41,761
Did they also mention that
they were going in a limousine?

211
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:45,556
- A limo?
- Not a limo.

212
00:12:45,723 --> 00:12:47,725
A limousine.

213
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:53,189
So, what are you
doing tonight, Diane?

214
00:12:53,356 --> 00:12:57,026
Frasier and I are going canvassing
for Jim Fleener in the neighborhood,

215
00:12:57,193 --> 00:13:00,655
and then we're stuffing mailers
into envelopes later on.

216
00:13:00,822 --> 00:13:03,491
Well, that sounds like fun too.

217
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:08,830
- Evening, everybody.
- Norm!

218
00:13:08,997 --> 00:13:11,624
- Norman.
- What's happening, Mr. Peterson?

219
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:14,294
The question is, Woody,
why is it happening to me?

220
00:13:15,378 --> 00:13:18,006
Well, you're a little late there, Normie.
Where you been?

221
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:20,842
Well, I was at Hurley's Market.

222
00:13:21,009 --> 00:13:24,595
I took Vera out for a little grocery
shopping, then a little dinner.

223
00:13:24,762 --> 00:13:27,223
Oh, gee, that's nice, Mr. P.
Where did you go to dinner?

224
00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:28,641
Hurley's Market.

225
00:13:29,350 --> 00:13:32,729
They were giving out those little
sausage samples on toothpicks.

226
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:35,189
By the way, guys,
for your information,

227
00:13:35,356 --> 00:13:37,442
a dozen appears to be
the cut-off number.

228
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:49,662
Say, did you hear

229
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:52,123
that I'm going to the governor's place
tonight for dinner?

230
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:53,374
Yes.

231
00:13:55,043 --> 00:13:57,045
There was a rumor in the air.

232
00:13:57,211 --> 00:13:59,047
Back when there was air.

233
00:14:02,091 --> 00:14:03,760
You got a second here?

234
00:14:03,926 --> 00:14:05,094
Listen...

235
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:09,098
...you know that ice cream stuff they
serve in the middle of dinner there?

236
00:14:09,265 --> 00:14:10,850
- Is it okay...?
- Sorbet.

237
00:14:11,476 --> 00:14:12,727
Sorbet, right, sorbet.

238
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:17,190
Is it okay if I were to ask
for chocolate sauce with that?

239
00:14:19,317 --> 00:14:21,569
- I think it's wise not to.
- All right, all right.

240
00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:26,908
And for God's sake,
remember that a bowl of warm water

241
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:28,910
- with a slice of lemon in it...
- I know, I know.

242
00:14:29,077 --> 00:14:31,412
It's a finger bowl,
it's not lemon soup.

243
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,501
You know, nobody would've known
that time if you hadn't screamed.

244
00:14:42,131 --> 00:14:45,259
You certainly have been
at the councilor's beck and call lately.

245
00:14:46,594 --> 00:14:50,056
I never thought I'd see you
so controlled by a woman.

246
00:14:51,182 --> 00:14:54,268
What happened to the Sam Malone
who once said to me,

247
00:14:54,435 --> 00:14:57,814
"Hey, we're gonna do
what I wanna do from now on"?

248
00:14:57,980 --> 00:15:00,775
You left him in a restaurant
with a face full of fettuccini.

249
00:15:01,692 --> 00:15:03,694
That doesn't mean I didn't like him.

250
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:16,874
"Wim with Jim?"

251
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:19,710
I thought it up.
It's very Joycean.

252
00:15:19,877 --> 00:15:21,879
If that means stupid, I agree.

253
00:15:25,049 --> 00:15:27,468
Frasier, put the box
in the back, please.

254
00:15:28,469 --> 00:15:31,556
If you're looking for something to do,
you can start stuffing the envelopes.

255
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:33,683
I've been stuffing all day, Diane.

256
00:15:34,517 --> 00:15:37,770
Frankly, the task has lost its
considerable power to charm me.

257
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,607
Frasier, that's a defeatist attitude.

258
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:43,651
We don't need quitters
on the Fleener team.

259
00:15:43,818 --> 00:15:47,613
- Hey, Sam, you're on TV.
- Oh, yeah, look at that.

260
00:15:48,322 --> 00:15:50,074
- Nice-looking threads, Sam.
- Yeah.

261
00:15:50,241 --> 00:15:51,617
Janet picked out the suit.

262
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:53,578
She really knows
what looks good on the tube.

263
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,172
Carla,

264
00:16:04,338 --> 00:16:07,675
even though we have our differences,
and we're frequently at odds,

265
00:16:07,842 --> 00:16:10,887
there's one thing
we very much have in common,

266
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,347
we both like Sam.

267
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:16,100
And I'm concerned about him.

268
00:16:16,267 --> 00:16:20,938
I think he might get hurt by this liaison
with Janet Eldridge.

269
00:16:21,105 --> 00:16:22,064
Yeah, you're right.

270
00:16:22,607 --> 00:16:25,735
He's having a lot of laughs
and a hot time with a beautiful woman.

271
00:16:25,902 --> 00:16:27,737
The man is a glutton for punishment.

272
00:16:29,906 --> 00:16:33,826
This is no romp, Carla.
It's more serious than that.

273
00:16:34,410 --> 00:16:36,621
And the worst part is that
she's just using him.

274
00:16:36,787 --> 00:16:37,788
I mean, it all adds up.

275
00:16:37,955 --> 00:16:40,374
He's an outstanding sports figure,

276
00:16:40,541 --> 00:16:43,211
he's attractive, and in this town
it doesn't hurt that he's Irish.

277
00:16:43,377 --> 00:16:45,546
- He's a vote getter.
- So what?

278
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:48,466
So when the election's over,
it's "So long, Sam."

279
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:50,843
And I think
he's really going to be hurt by this.

280
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:51,886
That's "so what."

281
00:16:52,053 --> 00:16:56,015
You are full of beans. Women come
and women go in Sam's life.

282
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:58,726
He's just having a few grins,
and I can prove it.

283
00:17:02,980 --> 00:17:05,066
Hey, a word over here, heartthrob.

284
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:06,234
Coming at you.

285
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,988
Cliff ie, Cliff ie. I got this one.

286
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:17,286
You know, Sammy,
I've been thinking.

287
00:17:18,162 --> 00:17:20,706
You have got a great set-up
with this Eldridge babe.

288
00:17:21,249 --> 00:17:23,000
You're going to all these
high-toned parties,

289
00:17:23,167 --> 00:17:26,003
meeting a lot of fancy people,
driving around in big cars.

290
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:29,590
And the best thing is,
you are getting to do to a politician

291
00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:31,717
what they've been doing
to us for years.

292
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:38,391
You know, Carla, sometimes
you got a lousy sense of humor.

293
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,811
Sorry.

294
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:43,938
"A few grins," Carla?

295
00:17:49,694 --> 00:17:52,196
- Boy, you look fabulous.
- Thank you. So do you.

296
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:53,614
Well, thank you.

297
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:56,367
Listen, I am famished here.

298
00:17:56,534 --> 00:17:57,994
Do you know what kind of sorbet
they're serving?

299
00:17:58,828 --> 00:18:01,330
- No, I was curious about that myself.
- Well...

300
00:18:01,497 --> 00:18:03,583
Before we go I have to make
a couple of phone calls.

301
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:06,127
- May I use your office?
- Yeah. Right under the whale there.

302
00:18:06,919 --> 00:18:08,879
Wow. Look at the size of that limo.

303
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:11,924
Hey, Your Excellence?

304
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:16,137
- Does it have a TV?
- Yes, it does.

305
00:18:16,304 --> 00:18:18,014
Go and take a look at it if you want.

306
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:21,475
Oh, hot dog!

307
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:27,857
- Oh, boy, the exuberance of youth.
- Yeah. Wide-eyed and innocent.

308
00:18:28,733 --> 00:18:31,277
Well, I guess those days
are long gone for you and me.

309
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:33,029
Yeah, yeah.

310
00:18:40,828 --> 00:18:43,372
Thanks, Edith. Yeah, I'll talk to you
tomorrow. Bye-bye.

311
00:18:44,707 --> 00:18:46,917
I'm sorry to interrupt,
Councilor Eldridge.

312
00:18:47,084 --> 00:18:50,838
Please, call me Janet. What can I do
for you? It's Diane, isn't it?

313
00:18:51,589 --> 00:18:52,423
Yes.

314
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:56,844
I'm speaking on behalf
of everyone here at Cheers,

315
00:18:57,011 --> 00:19:01,223
and I would just like to say
that we're all very fond of Sam.

316
00:19:01,724 --> 00:19:04,101
And, frankly, we're a little worried
about him.

317
00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:06,354
We wouldn't like to see him get hurt.

318
00:19:06,854 --> 00:19:07,938
What are you getting at?

319
00:19:08,648 --> 00:19:13,986
Janet, I've made no secret
of my opposition to you politically,

320
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:18,074
but let's retract our claws
for the moment, shall we?

321
00:19:18,699 --> 00:19:21,702
Let's stop hissing at each other.

322
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:24,497
Do you have a problem with cats?

323
00:19:26,916 --> 00:19:27,792
No.

324
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,586
But it's the consensus
of opinion around here

325
00:19:30,753 --> 00:19:33,047
that you're using Sam
to get re-elected,

326
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:35,299
with total disregard for his feelings,

327
00:19:35,466 --> 00:19:37,677
and we don't think that's
a very nice thing to do.

328
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:40,012
I see.

329
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:44,725
Well, I'll be honest with you, Diane.

330
00:19:44,892 --> 00:19:47,019
That's exactly why
I started seeing him.

331
00:19:47,978 --> 00:19:50,481
So I-- We were right.

332
00:19:51,607 --> 00:19:54,652
Well, I'm warning you,
I have some influence with Sam.

333
00:19:54,819 --> 00:19:56,570
Yes, I know.
He thinks a great deal of you.

334
00:19:56,737 --> 00:19:58,864
Anytime I wanted to--
He said that?

335
00:19:59,031 --> 00:19:59,865
Yes.

336
00:20:01,367 --> 00:20:04,578
He mentions you often.
And Sam is a man of few words.

337
00:20:05,246 --> 00:20:06,664
Well, he only knows a few.

338
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:11,293
Yes.

339
00:20:12,128 --> 00:20:15,089
He is a simple man in many ways,
but I think that's his strength.

340
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:17,466
I mean, I never met anyone
who didn't like him.

341
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:19,427
Well, good.

342
00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:21,804
But I don't understand
why we're standing here

343
00:20:21,971 --> 00:20:26,809
chatting so enjoyably when you just
admitted that you're using Sam.

344
00:20:27,476 --> 00:20:29,228
That's not what I said, Diane.

345
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:31,188
You didn't let me finish.

346
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:33,107
Please.

347
00:20:34,567 --> 00:20:36,527
Well, when I first started
seeing Sam,

348
00:20:36,694 --> 00:20:39,321
perhaps I had ulterior motives
in mind,

349
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:42,700
but my attitude toward him
has changed dramatically.

350
00:20:44,618 --> 00:20:47,163
I've learned that Sam has something
that's pretty special.

351
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:49,957
I've never experienced
with any other man

352
00:20:50,124 --> 00:20:52,084
the feeling I have when I'm with him.
When we're...

353
00:20:53,169 --> 00:20:55,337
...at a fundraiser
or something like that, I'll...

354
00:20:55,963 --> 00:20:58,215
...watch him across the room
talking with some people,

355
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:02,887
and sometimes a feeling
comes over me so strong

356
00:21:04,013 --> 00:21:05,806
that it nearly makes me ache.

357
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:08,517
Oh, God.

358
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:11,771
I sound like a silly schoolgirl.

359
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:18,235
That's the truth.
Does that make you feel better?

360
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:23,991
It certainly does.

361
00:21:24,158 --> 00:21:27,203
I'm awfully glad
we put this matter to rest.

362
00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:31,707
You like Sam. And Sam likes you.

363
00:21:31,874 --> 00:21:35,753
No one's going to get hurt.
Well, "wack to berk."

364
00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:47,640
You're really good.
You almost had me fooled there.

365
00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:50,643
But I don't believe a word you said.

366
00:21:52,228 --> 00:21:54,021
When this campaign is over,

367
00:21:54,188 --> 00:21:57,817
Sam's going to last about as long
as your campaign promises.

368
00:21:58,901 --> 00:22:00,861
Well, back to work.

369
00:22:16,919 --> 00:22:19,630
<i>And I would like to thank
each and every one of you.</i>

370
00:22:19,797 --> 00:22:23,008
<i>- This is a victory for all of us.
- Yes!</i>

371
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:24,802
Well, not quite all of us.

372
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,765
I guess that's about--

373
00:22:29,932 --> 00:22:32,017
I guess that's about it. Thanks.

374
00:22:32,184 --> 00:22:34,103
Thanks, Diane, for all your help.

375
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:36,939
Nobody ever worked harder
for me than you.

376
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:40,067
In fact, I think you worked harder
than I did.

377
00:22:41,861 --> 00:22:44,572
You did your best.
That's all that matters.

378
00:22:49,326 --> 00:22:51,954
Say, listen, did you know
you're out of liquor?

379
00:22:54,248 --> 00:22:55,833
<i>And now I would like
to bring up a man</i>

380
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,460
<i>without whom I would not be
standing here tonight.</i>

381
00:22:58,627 --> 00:22:59,670
<i>- Sam?
- Yeah?</i>

382
00:22:59,837 --> 00:23:02,339
<i>- Would you let Phil through, please?
- Oh, yeah.</i>

383
00:23:04,675 --> 00:23:07,595
<i>My campaign manager,
Mr. Phil Schumacher!</i>

384
00:23:14,310 --> 00:23:15,811
<i>And this guy</i>

385
00:23:15,978 --> 00:23:18,647
<i>has been such a tremendous
help to me in this campaign.</i>

386
00:23:18,814 --> 00:23:21,191
<i>I'm sure he needs no introduction.</i>

387
00:23:21,358 --> 00:23:24,278
<i>But for those ladies in the audience
who would like an introduction,</i>

388
00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:26,071
<i>you're not gonna get one.</i>

389
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:37,458
That was my last chance.

390
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:39,627
Looks like I blew it.

391
00:23:43,130 --> 00:23:44,340
Me too.
