- Quotes
Diane Chambers: I propose that you and I abstain from any sort of physical contact for a period of one month. Strictly business for one month. I think that's the only way that each of us can regain our self respect.
Sam Malone: I think that's a very good idea. It would help me out a lot.
Diane Chambers: Fine. One month it is. Mr. Malone.
Sam Malone: [as Sam and Diane shake hands] Miss Chambers.
Sam Malone: [as Diane is about to walk out of the room] Oh, there is just one more thing. I think... Please have a seat. I think my self respect bounces back a little quicker than you expect. I think two weeks of strictly business, and I'd be back in peak shape. You know, maybe, if I concentrate, one week.
Diane Chambers: Well, I believe that my recuperative powers are even greater than yours. A day would be fine with me.
Sam Malone: You know, I think the important thing here is we both know in our minds that we could stop. I think that an hour would certainly prove that.
Diane Chambers: Well, from that argument, it follows that fifteen minutes would be adequate.
Sam Malone: [looking at his watch] I believe that's just enough time to get back to my place.
Diane Chambers: Let's hurry.
[Sam and Diane rush out of the room together]
- Crazy creditsFinal credits incorrectly show Tony Brafa as "Mrs." Anderson #1 and James Ingersoll as "Mrs." Anderson #2 when both should be "Mr."
Concerned that Sam is showing her favouritism at the bar, Diane decides to quit in the most pretentious way possible. Sam and Cliff might not get the reference to Voltaire, but Diane definitely means it. She can't just define herself as The Boss's Girlfriend, so she ventures out into the Real World in search of work.
The subplot starts another story arc that will span the season: trouble in Norm's marriage. It's not exactly material for comedy gold, but the bit where Carla poses as Norm's sexy new girlfriend is pretty good. In general, this is a workmanlike episode: nothing special, but not without some funny bits.
