1. Diane. Do me a favour.
Pour Mischa there a real quick beer.
Copy !req
2. Coming right up, Mischa.
Copy !req
3. There you go.
Copy !req
4. Sam, what is he doing with his hand?
Copy !req
5. He plays cymbals for the Symphony.
They're in the middle of a concert.
Copy !req
6. He's counting out a long rest
so he knows exactly when to get back.
Copy !req
7. Fascinating. OK, that's 1.25
out of a 20. 1.50, 1.75,
Copy !req
8. two, three, four, five, ten and 20.
Copy !req
9. Musicians are very temperamental.
Copy !req
10. - Afternoon, everybody.
- Norm!
Copy !req
11. Norman.
Copy !req
12. - How's life, Norm?
- Not for the squeamish, Coach.
Copy !req
13. You're shaking
like a meringue in an earthquake.
Copy !req
14. My whole career as an accountant,
Copy !req
15. I sat in my cubicle,
kept my mouth shut.
Copy !req
16. - Today I volunteered for something.
- What?
Copy !req
17. Every year,
the firm has a company party.
Copy !req
18. - Yeah?
- Guess who's party director.
Copy !req
19. Let me guess. I'm good at guessing.
Copy !req
20. Julius LaRosa?
Copy !req
21. Warm, Coach. Me.
Copy !req
22. Gee, I should've taken more time.
Copy !req
23. Probably.
Copy !req
24. - How come you volunteered?
- To make points with the big boss.
Copy !req
25. Last year, some nobody named Jensen
threw a luau in the parking lot.
Copy !req
26. It was a big hit.
You know where that man is today?
Copy !req
27. Leaning over my shoulder
saying, "Add faster."
Copy !req
28. What are you so upset about?
It sounds like a great opportunity.
Copy !req
29. That's what I thought.
Copy !req
30. But after I volunteered,
I realised I never threw a party.
Copy !req
31. I killed a few.
Copy !req
32. What's the big deal?
You want excitement,
Copy !req
33. pay a sexy chick
to jump out of a cake.
Copy !req
34. if you want to save money,
get Carla to do it.
Copy !req
35. Carla.
Copy !req
36. Strippers aren't enough here.
Copy !req
37. Will you relax? Life's too short.
Copy !req
38. You don't understand.
We're talking about 100 accountants.
Copy !req
39. Their lives are incredibly dull
all week long.
Copy !req
40. I gotta do something special
to turn them on, wake 'em up.
Copy !req
41. The best party I was ever at
was in a locker room.
Copy !req
42. We were all in our underwear,
pouring champagne on each other.
Copy !req
43. Guys flinging guys into showers.
It was terrific.
Copy !req
44. That was after
we'd won the division championship.
Copy !req
45. - That's why we were in Cleveland.
- Right.
Copy !req
46. Norm, I've got a great idea.
Have yourself a hot-tub party.
Copy !req
47. - What?
- The latest craze in California.
Copy !req
48. You know, Weirdo Central.
Copy !req
49. Get a bunch of people in a hot tub,
who knows what'll happen?
Copy !req
50. Today I delivered two copies
of Star Parade magazine.
Copy !req
51. - Guess who's on the cover in a tub?
- Julius LaRosa?
Copy !req
52. No, Burt Reynolds.
Copy !req
53. I used to be so good at this game.
Copy !req
54. I did think of one icebreaker.
I go through this year's audits,
Copy !req
55. find the biggest mistakes,
Xerox them and pass them around.
Copy !req
56. We're talking monster laughs.
Copy !req
57. You're a maniac, Normie.
Copy !req
58. Perhaps I can give you an idea
that you could actually use.
Copy !req
59. I think parties are the most fun
Copy !req
60. when you can shed your everyday
mundane identity and be someone else.
Copy !req
61. In college, I held a party
Copy !req
62. where everyone came as
their favourite Elizabethan poet.
Copy !req
63. I remember.
Copy !req
64. It was so great,
I chose Christopher Marlowe.
Copy !req
65. I was deeply into Dr Faustus
at the time.
Copy !req
66. But I still get letters
from people who loved it.
Copy !req
67. Say, didn't we used to have
a weekly Elizabethan Poet Night?
Copy !req
68. Yeah, started getting too rowdy.
Copy !req
69. You were charged with practising
iambic pentameter without a licence.
Copy !req
70. Sam, if I'm to serve
both as a waitress
Copy !req
71. and the butt of jokes,
I should make more money.
Copy !req
72. What does a good butt make
in this town?
Copy !req
73. In keeping with the spirit of
this establishment, and its patrons,
Copy !req
74. I suggest you get down in the mud
and throw a toga party.
Copy !req
75. A toga party?
Where they dress up in sheets?
Copy !req
76. I'm sure you'd love it.
It's a stupid fraternity tradition.
Copy !req
77. A bunch of borderline humans
stand around
Copy !req
78. swilling beer
and vomiting on themselves,
Copy !req
79. until, inevitably,
they raise their robes
Copy !req
80. to reveal the depths
of their personalities.
Copy !req
81. Hallelujah, I am saved!
Copy !req
82. I can see it. This'll make that luau
look like a pig roast.
Copy !req
83. Easily.
Copy !req
84. Can I use Cheers?
I'll pay half what you ask.
Copy !req
85. - How can I pass that up?
- I got a lot to do here.
Copy !req
86. I should go home, close myself off
and work out all the details.
Copy !req
87. - Good luck.
- I can do it in the bathroom.
Copy !req
88. Sam.
Copy !req
89. - Are these people dressed in togas?
- No, Coach.
Copy !req
90. I thought it mean to be
a toga party.
Copy !req
91. It is.
Copy !req
92. I'm getting my spells again.
I though I had 'em licked.
Copy !req
93. - No, you are right, Coach.
- Sure?
Copy !req
94. Yes. These people just haven't got
into the spirit of the party.
Copy !req
95. Oh, thanks.
Copy !req
96. Diane. The gang in the back
ready for another order?
Copy !req
97. Not yet.
Copy !req
98. It's been an hour and a half.
Are they watching their ice melt?
Copy !req
99. Actually, it's quite peppy.
Copy !req
100. One fellow, believe or not,
Copy !req
101. can recite every area code
in the country.
Copy !req
102. We're talking dazzling entertainment.
Copy !req
103. Sam, can you spring me
for a few minutes? I gotta see this.
Copy !req
104. Enjoy, Coach.
Copy !req
105. if this guy knows Laramie, Wyoming,
I'll croak.
Copy !req
106. Boy, this party stinks.
Copy !req
107. Well, maybe we should do something
to help pick it up.
Copy !req
108. I got an idea.
Why don't you go back to my office?
Copy !req
109. In my desk you'll find two tassels
and a G-string.
Copy !req
110. I'll hum Night Train...
Copy !req
111. - Come on.
- Get out.
Copy !req
112. Let the games begin!
Copy !req
113. Holy...
Copy !req
114. Well, you all got the date right
so I know you can read.
Copy !req
115. How come you're not in a toga?
Copy !req
116. I was afraid everyone else would
chicken out and I'd look like a fool.
Copy !req
117. Good point.
Copy !req
118. Jensen, nice suit.
Copy !req
119. Hello, there.
Copy !req
120. Why did I volunteer? I'm a dead man.
Copy !req
121. Sammy, you got someone
lying in state in the back room?
Copy !req
122. Nobody's moved
for an hour and a half.
Copy !req
123. Normie, I like it. You look like
the Pillsbury Dough Monster.
Copy !req
124. - How come you're late?
- I had car trouble.
Copy !req
125. You try flagging down help
dressed like this.
Copy !req
126. Where's your wife?
Why isn't she at the party?
Copy !req
127. She didn't hear about it.
Copy !req
128. This is the worst party yet. Thanks
loads for the toga idea, Diane.
Copy !req
129. Well, Norman, all you need
is a little icebreaker. Let me help.
Copy !req
130. Everybody. How about a round of that
always enjoyable game, charades?
Copy !req
131. I'll start off.
Copy !req
132. Movie title.
Copy !req
133. Four words.
Copy !req
134. First word.
Copy !req
135. My. Sounds like eye.
Copy !req
136. I'll give you the first one,
get you going. OK, second word.
Copy !req
137. What am I doing here? Eating.
Copy !req
138. Doesn't this look like eating?
When do we eat and drink?
Copy !req
139. Dinner! My Dinner...
Copy !req
140. Third word.
Copy !req
141. What is this? It's little, isn't it?
It's a little word.
Copy !req
142. W. Begins with a W. Little word.
With! My Dinner With...
Copy !req
143. My Dinner With Julius LaRosa!
Copy !req
144. That's it.
Copy !req
145. - OK, Ogden, Utah.
- Eight zero one!
Copy !req
146. Hold it down, everybody,
it's the phone!
Copy !req
147. I feel it! I feel that beat!
Copy !req
148. Get up off your seat
and on your feet. It's limbo time.
Copy !req
149. Come on, everybody!
Copy !req
150. Come on now.
Copy !req
151. Last year, you ate a pig
with your fists. What's going on?
Copy !req
152. Come on!
Copy !req
153. Pack of nerds.
Copy !req
154. Norm, that was a message for you.
Copy !req
155. Somebody named Ruta
can't make it tonight.
Copy !req
156. Ruta's the girl I had coming
to entertain the big boss.
Copy !req
157. This can't be happening.
Copy !req
158. First, I throw the worst party
in history,
Copy !req
159. now I got no date for the big boss.
Copy !req
160. You've got to set your boss up
with a woman?
Copy !req
161. Yeah, it's the party director's duty.
Copy !req
162. Why not ask one of the women here?
Or does your boss like live things?
Copy !req
163. - Carla, do you suppose...?
- No, Norm. Don't look at me.
Copy !req
164. I got four kids.
I'm not looking for more.
Copy !req
165. - You needn't have sex with him.
- Doesn't matter. I'm a fast breeder.
Copy !req
166. A man winks at me
and I'm three months along.
Copy !req
167. I need a woman!
Copy !req
168. Does anybody need anything?
Copy !req
169. Hallelujah!
Copy !req
170. Let me see if I've got this straight?
Copy !req
171. You want me to
entertain a man I've never met.
Copy !req
172. Pour him a few drinks
and chat with him.
Copy !req
173. You don't have to go home with him.
Copy !req
174. Though if you do, I'll drive.
Copy !req
175. I'm joking around.
Copy !req
176. I'm going to walk away and pretend
that you never asked me to do this.
Copy !req
177. This could work out for you, too.
You might like this guy.
Copy !req
178. He's intelligent.
He went to Harvard Business School.
Copy !req
179. Sam?
Copy !req
180. I can't believe your job depends
on you finding this guy a woman.
Copy !req
181. That's right.
It's demeaning and dehumanising,
Copy !req
182. not just to me but to yourself.
Copy !req
183. I get it.
You think I'm a kissy, right?
Copy !req
184. It's easy for you two to talk.
Diane's attractive, she's got brains.
Copy !req
185. Sammy, good-looking, a baseball star.
Copy !req
186. I've got nothing. My only hope is
Copy !req
187. to find someone with something
and make them like me.
Copy !req
188. - Norm...
- So if there are boots to be licked,
Copy !req
189. apples to be polished and
fannies to be kissed, I'll be there.
Copy !req
190. First time I saw a man
strut and grovel at the same time.
Copy !req
191. You know, Norm is
kind of in a jam here tonight.
Copy !req
192. - Now you want me to do this.
- It wouldn't be so bad, would it?
Copy !req
193. - You're asking me to do this.
- What's the big deal?
Copy !req
194. You sit down with some old guy,
you have a drink, he'll fall asleep.
Copy !req
195. Hello, Mr Sawyer, sir. Welcome.
Copy !req
196. Well, Norman's a friend.
Copy !req
197. I guess I could give the old geezer
a couple of minutes of my time.
Copy !req
198. We are all honoured and thrilled
that you could make it.
Copy !req
199. - I like your sheet.
- This old thing?
Copy !req
200. Come on down here,
I'll show you a seat.
Copy !req
201. Why don't you let me do that?
I know the place.
Copy !req
202. I'll never forget this, Diane.
Copy !req
203. Mr Sawyer, Diane Chambers.
Copy !req
204. - Nice to meet you, Diane.
- Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
205. Why don't you two sit right here?
You!
Copy !req
206. Well, what would you like to drink?
Copy !req
207. Scotch rocks.
Copy !req
208. Barkeep, a little service, please.
Copy !req
209. Mr Sawyer will have Scotch rocks.
Let's see, what am I in the mood for?
Copy !req
210. How about a good beating?
Copy !req
211. - Perhaps a vermouth cassis.
- Fine.
Copy !req
212. if you need anything else, just
snap your fingers. In several places.
Copy !req
213. I guess working in a bar
makes you grumpy.
Copy !req
214. Good evening! We're Eddie Barnett
and the Eddie Barnetters.
Copy !req
215. OK, it's request time. Shout 'em out.
Copy !req
216. Chicago?
Copy !req
217. One of Eddie's favourites. Chicago.
Copy !req
218. Norm, this band is the worst.
Copy !req
219. I don't understand it.
They sounded so good over the phone.
Copy !req
220. - So you're an art student?
- Yes.
Copy !req
221. I always wanted to be a painter.
Copy !req
222. I must say, it is so refreshing
to meet someone like you.
Copy !req
223. Someone in business
who enjoys the finer things.
Copy !req
224. Here you go. One for you.
Copy !req
225. One for your lady of the evening.
Copy !req
226. - To a sparkling conversationalist.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
227. I'd normally ask you to go out
and find some place to talk,
Copy !req
228. but I don't think we'd find
any place as quiet as this.
Copy !req
229. - Something wrong with your drink?
- Yes.
Copy !req
230. - I'll take it back.
- No, I know the bartender.
Copy !req
231. - You sure?
- Yes, I'll be right back.
Copy !req
232. - Do you have a problem, Mr Malone?
- Listen, you're a light drinker.
Copy !req
233. Don't get carried away
and do something you'll regret.
Copy !req
234. You're not bothered
that I'm spending time with Herb?
Copy !req
235. Herb?
Copy !req
236. No. None of my business, really.
Copy !req
237. Looks a little seamy
but seaminess has its place.
Copy !req
238. A moment ago
you were encouraging it.
Copy !req
239. A moment ago, he was 85 years old.
Copy !req
240. I see. An old man is fine,
Copy !req
241. but one whose kidneys
are functioning is taboo.
Copy !req
242. Look, like I said,
it's none of my business,
Copy !req
243. but he expects you to be his for the
whole evening. Know what I mean?
Copy !req
244. Sam, we are having
a harmless conversation about art.
Copy !req
245. - You know what I think?
- What?
Copy !req
246. I think you're bothered
that he's so good-looking.
Copy !req
247. You call that good-looking?
He's got padded shoulders
Copy !req
248. and I bet that's not even
his real lips.
Copy !req
249. - He's gorgeous. It drives you crazy.
- No.
Copy !req
250. It kills you that there's
another attractive man in your bar.
Copy !req
251. Another rooster in your henhouse.
Copy !req
252. My days are much easier now we've got
those Cup-a-Soups in the office.
Copy !req
253. if that was your idea, Mr Sawyer,
you are a genius.
Copy !req
254. Norm, how about I buy you a drink?
Copy !req
255. Why don't you set sail for the bar
and have yourself a good time?
Copy !req
256. That's wonderful, sir.
Copy !req
257. I understand there's a pool table
in the back. How about a game?
Copy !req
258. OK. I've never played before,
but why should that stop us?
Copy !req
259. Thank you for that conversation, sir.
I'm the better for it.
Copy !req
260. - Hi, there.
- Hello.
Copy !req
261. That is a good-looking guy.
Copy !req
262. I felt something kick.
Copy !req
263. Now you know
why I never go to these things.
Copy !req
264. It's strange,
getting that reaction from people.
Copy !req
265. I like to think it's the money
and position, not me.
Copy !req
266. I can assure you, it's not you.
Copy !req
267. I think Sawyer likes Diane.
I'm on my way, big guy.
Copy !req
268. You're really sickening tonight.
Copy !req
269. I know, Sam. I'm not proud of myself.
Copy !req
270. But then, I never am.
Copy !req
271. Well, Simon Says is my game.
I'm great at that.
Copy !req
272. Maybe I can help you out. I can teach
you to play in a couple of minutes.
Copy !req
273. Just put your left hand down,
like that.
Copy !req
274. - Grab the end with your other hand.
- I'm not in the way, am l?
Copy !req
275. - You smell wonderful. What is it?
- Thank you. Dandruff shampoo.
Copy !req
276. - I like it.
- I don't flake for hours.
Copy !req
277. - Herb, wait a minute.
- Diane, you're beautiful.
Copy !req
278. You know, I don't believe in
mauling on the first date.
Copy !req
279. - I didn't come to hear the band.
- We were having a nice conversation.
Copy !req
280. - That part's over.
- How is everything back here?
Copy !req
281. - Norman!
- He'll stop in a minute.
Copy !req
282. - No, really.
- Mr Sawyer, sir...
Copy !req
283. - Get lost, Norm.
- Fine, sir.
Copy !req
284. - This is not my idea of romance.
- Come on.
Copy !req
285. - Wait.
- I told you to leave.
Copy !req
286. Mr Sawyer!
Copy !req
287. - This is a big mistake.
- Sorry, sir. I know, sir.
Copy !req
288. Nice cologne, sir.
Copy !req
289. You're crazy. You set me up
with this girl and then do this?
Copy !req
290. There's no room in my company
for unstable people.
Copy !req
291. - Clean out your desk. You're fired!
- I figured.
Copy !req
292. Norman, I'm real sorry
you lost your job.
Copy !req
293. - That's what I was trying to avoid.
- It's alright.
Copy !req
294. What was that about?
Your boss just stormed out.
Copy !req
295. - He's not my boss any more.
- What?
Copy !req
296. He was all over Diane.
I had to get rough with him.
Copy !req
297. I want a beer.
Copy !req
298. - You OK?
- Yes.
Copy !req
299. Well, go ahead. Gloat.
Copy !req
300. Believe it or not,
I'm really sorry this happened.
Copy !req
301. I know you must be feeling
hurt and angry right now.
Copy !req
302. No.
Copy !req
303. I'm not feeling hurt and angry.
I brought this on myself.
Copy !req
304. - Actually, I feel kind of...
- Cheap?
Copy !req
305. Alright, yes, I feel cheap.
Copy !req
306. I saw an attractive person,
a little glamour,
Copy !req
307. and I wanted to meet him so badly
that I threw myself at him.
Copy !req
308. Totally sacrificing
my dignity and pride.
Copy !req
309. What's wrong with that?
I do that all the time.
Copy !req
310. For one terrible moment
I saw myself through his eyes.
Copy !req
311. I saw nothing but a... cheap harlot.
Copy !req
312. Come on. We all know
that you'd starve to death
Copy !req
313. before you made a living
with your body.
Copy !req
314. - Thanks, Sam.
- You're welcome, Diane.
Copy !req
315. So he fired you, Norm?
Copy !req
316. Fired me, Coach.
Copy !req
317. You know something?
Copy !req
318. I may not have a job.
I may not have a future.
Copy !req
319. I may not have anything
except this sheet on my back.
Copy !req
320. But you know something?
Copy !req
321. I feel terrible.
Copy !req
322. Gee, I'm sorry, Norm.
Copy !req
323. - Did you really hit the boss?
- No, I just shoved him around a bit.
Copy !req
324. Everybody, it's true.
Norman just punched out the boss.
Copy !req
325. - I just pushed him around.
- Way to go, Peterson.
Copy !req
326. Alright, Norman!
Copy !req
327. Norman, our hero!
Copy !req
