1. FORTUNE AND MEN'S WEIGHT
Copy !req
2. - Afternoon, everybody.
- Norm!
Copy !req
3. - How does a beer sound?
- I finish 'em before they get a word in.
Copy !req
4. Aren't you a bit dressed up
to come here and suck on taps?
Copy !req
5. If you must know, I've other plans
for this evening. I've a date.
Copy !req
6. - Who is it?
- A blind date.
Copy !req
7. - Dangerous.
- Walking into a minefield.
Copy !req
8. A friend set us up.
He assures me she's perfect for me.
Copy !req
9. That's what they all say.
Copy !req
10. She had good table manners, great
personality and an excellent posture?
Copy !req
11. They always make it sound good.
Copy !req
12. As a matter of fact,
he said she was easy on the eye.
Copy !req
13. You're a dead man, Norm.
Copy !req
14. - Where do you want it?
- Want what? I didn't order that.
Copy !req
15. - Cheers, right?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
16. Coach, did you buy this?
Copy !req
17. - Not me, Sam.
- Your name is on the invoice.
Copy !req
18. It's a mistake. Why would I buy a crate?
Copy !req
19. - It's an antique scale.
- I bought the scale.
Copy !req
20. Now that I look at it, I'm disappointed.
Copy !req
21. We're in a hurry. Can you sign it?
Copy !req
22. Why did you do this? Don't buy anything
for the bar without checking with me.
Copy !req
23. I'm sorry, Sam. That salesman, I couldn't
resist him. He had a way about him.
Copy !req
24. - One of those fast talkers?
- No. Big tall skinny guy with a beard.
Copy !req
25. Reminded me of somebody in history.
The president who freed the slaves.
Copy !req
26. - Abraham Lincoln?
- Only this guy wasn't nice at all.
Copy !req
27. As a matter of fact,
he was kind of mean.
Copy !req
28. He reminded me of that little guy
in Germany with the moustache.
Copy !req
29. - Adolf Hitler?
- Don't play trivia with this guy.
Copy !req
30. A cross between
Abraham Lincoln and Hitler?
Copy !req
31. Normie, I don't know.
He was strange, Normie.
Copy !req
32. He was dressed in black,
his eyes shined like coals
Copy !req
33. and he had a deep voice
and he said to me,
Copy !req
34. "This scale will not only tell you your
weight, but it will tell you your destiny. "
Copy !req
35. - He had an accent?
- No.
Copy !req
36. Then why did you say it like your weight
and your destiny?
Copy !req
37. Just a little colour, Carla.
Copy !req
38. - I'm calling him to say we don't want it.
- I'd like to see what it looks like.
Copy !req
39. And it tells your fortune.
Copy !req
40. - Go on. Open it.
- Goody.
Copy !req
41. I'm still sending it back.
Copy !req
42. Coach, give Norman a screwdriver,
please.
Copy !req
43. I've got a big date.
I don't want to get pits.
Copy !req
44. Come on. It won't be that hard.
Copy !req
45. We'll stop you
before your shoes get squishy.
Copy !req
46. Here's an opening hint from a guy
who's opened a lot of these rascals.
Copy !req
47. If you smack this baby here,
it'll open up like a big walnut.
Copy !req
48. That's the epicentre of the fulcrum.
Copy !req
49. Step back, Diane.
This thing'll shear your kneecaps off.
Copy !req
50. - Are you all right?
- I can't find my shoes, Clyde.
Copy !req
51. - I think the dog got them.
- Sit right here. Here we go.
Copy !req
52. Let's get her out.
Copy !req
53. - Ain't that nice?
- I like it. Can we keep it?
Copy !req
54. I'm afraid we're going to have to.
The number's been disconnected.
Copy !req
55. The guy's obviously a conman.
Copy !req
56. I knew he was a conman
the minute I laid eyes on him.
Copy !req
57. As a collector of antiques, I think it might
some day be worth what you paid for it.
Copy !req
58. Or a fraction thereof.
Copy !req
59. Sam, the salesman also said, "This
scale is not being made any more. "
Copy !req
60. "This one was in a cellar
for over 40 years. "
Copy !req
61. Coach, you shouldn't have bought it.
Copy !req
62. - This has been fun, but I gotta go.
- Normie, get on the scale.
Copy !req
63. See how you'll make out tonight.
Copy !req
64. Come on. It doesn't have
any fortunes left after all these years.
Copy !req
65. Do you get tired of being wrong?
Copy !req
66. "Your most troublesome problem
will be solved. "
Copy !req
67. Sounds like you're going to get a trim
on the old antlers tonight.
Copy !req
68. Norm,
what's your most troublesome problem?
Copy !req
69. That's tough to say, Coach.
Let's see. I'm overweight, unemployed,
Copy !req
70. separated, depressed,
starting to drink too much.
Copy !req
71. I guess my biggest problem
is I've never been happier.
Copy !req
72. - I'm going next.
- Wait. Men in uniform first, Carla.
Copy !req
73. They love it. It will be bigger
than that amusement park in California.
Copy !req
74. - The one with the mouse and the duck.
- Disneyland.
Copy !req
75. You're tough, Sam,
but I'm gonna get you.
Copy !req
76. - "Sanderson, Florist. "
- What's the occasion, Sam?
Copy !req
77. For Diane.
Copy !req
78. Did she die?
Copy !req
79. - Of course not.
- Is she dying?
Copy !req
80. Is she suffering? Throw me a bone.
Copy !req
81. No. She'll be mad cos I didn't take her
to some stupid art show.
Copy !req
82. Flowers are the way to calm her down.
Hi. Sanderson, Florist?
Copy !req
83. There's my guy.
Give me a big smoocheroo.
Copy !req
84. - You're not mad?
- Of course not.
Copy !req
85. I just missed you so, you big lug.
Copy !req
86. Keep up the good work.
Copy !req
87. - Hey, everybody.
- What's up, Normie?
Copy !req
88. - The corners of my mouth.
- Sounds like that blind date paid off.
Copy !req
89. It turns out my buddy
played a trick on me.
Copy !req
90. Guess who the date turns out to be?
My ex. Vera.
Copy !req
91. Ready for the punch line?
We're back together.
Copy !req
92. Norman, that's wonderful.
Copy !req
93. I feel so good,
I'd like to set up the entire bar.
Copy !req
94. But as that's financially impossible,
I'll settle for buying Cliff a drink.
Copy !req
95. Thank you, Norm. Chivas on the rocks.
Copy !req
96. What, 12-year-old Scotch?
I was thinking more like a beer.
Copy !req
97. Come on. This is great news.
You got Vera back.
Copy !req
98. Yeah, Vera. Not Nastassja Kinsky. Vera.
Copy !req
99. Beer, Coach.
Copy !req
100. What's it like to go out on a blind date
and then you find out it's your own wife?
Copy !req
101. Well,
we were both kind of nervous at first.
Copy !req
102. Then we split some clams casino and a
little Chateaubriand, her favourite wine.
Copy !req
103. Next thing, we went back
to what used to be our place
Copy !req
104. and... we kind of made love.
Copy !req
105. You can't kind of make love.
Copy !req
106. You don't know Vera.
Copy !req
107. - Oh, my God!
- What?
Copy !req
108. It's happening!
Copy !req
109. She's losing what's left of her grey
matter and I don't mean her underwear.
Copy !req
110. - What's wrong?
- It's his fortune.
Copy !req
111. The machine said his worst problem
would be solved and Vera's back.
Copy !req
112. Carla, that was entirely fortuitous.
Copy !req
113. You're right, Diane. My little card said
I would hear from a distant loved one.
Copy !req
114. Sure enough, a half hour later,
my daughter in Pennsylvania calls me.
Copy !req
115. No. That doesn't count.
She always calls you.
Copy !req
116. - Pennsylvania's not that distant.
- She called me from California.
Copy !req
117. She's on vacation there.
Copy !req
118. It had nothing to do with your fortune,
or Norman's.
Copy !req
119. Yeah? How about this? My fortune said,
"Time waits for no one. "
Copy !req
120. Last night, I get home late and my kids
had started a fire cooking their dinner.
Copy !req
121. - Explain that.
- Easy. You're an idiot.
Copy !req
122. Look, there are things you eggheads
can't explain away in this world.
Copy !req
123. Listen, nothing and nobody
controls what happens to us.
Copy !req
124. You had a lucky piece when you pitched.
Copy !req
125. A lot of good it did me. The only battles
I ever won in life, I won on my own.
Copy !req
126. - That was brilliantly put.
- You said that to me a few days ago.
Copy !req
127. But you remembered it
and used it in the proper context.
Copy !req
128. Yeah, they should carve his face
on a mountain.
Copy !req
129. You've been with Diane so long, you
can't see the facts in front of your nose.
Copy !req
130. This machine has powers.
Copy !req
131. I guess I should get on
and see what the future holds for me.
Copy !req
132. Don't joke about this.
Copy !req
133. What on earth are you doing?
Copy !req
134. I'm warding off evil spirits.
If you weren't stupid, you'd do the same.
Copy !req
135. Preposterous.
Copy !req
136. - What does the card say?
- What difference does it make?
Copy !req
137. "Deception in romance proves costly. "
Copy !req
138. You see.
You know how she feels about honesty.
Copy !req
139. She likes it.
Copy !req
140. - Honest as the day is long.
- Absolutely.
Copy !req
141. Now, can we all go back to work,
please?
Copy !req
142. Good idea.
Copy !req
143. Are you all right?
Copy !req
144. That's $20 postage due, sir,
and how are we today?
Copy !req
145. - Cliff, you're in Cheers.
- Cheers. Yes, sir. I know where that is.
Copy !req
146. - Are you all right?
- Yeah. Just bruised my knee.
Copy !req
147. I hope I'll be able
to do my postal round tomorrow.
Copy !req
148. - Do you want to get an X-ray?
- No. I'll just check it out here.
Copy !req
149. I'm fine.
Copy !req
150. Wait a minute, Cliff.
Copy !req
151. You got a fortune from that machine.
What was it?
Copy !req
152. What was it?
Copy !req
153. Did it say anything
about falling down stairs?
Copy !req
154. I remember. It was "Talk to bigwigs".
Copy !req
155. - What "ooh"?
- I don't know yet.
Copy !req
156. But there must be a connection.
Copy !req
157. - You're not in the ballpark on this one.
- Wait. I got it. Bigwig, right?
Copy !req
158. - Who is the biggest bigwig of them all?
- Sinatra.
Copy !req
159. - No. Even bigger.
- Ronald Reagan.
Copy !req
160. - No. Bigger.
- Sinatra.
Copy !req
161. If you ask me who runs this country, it's
big oil companies. Who runs Texaco?
Copy !req
162. At my station, Dave and his son Herbie.
Copy !req
163. Machmoud does the windows.
Copy !req
164. You can't get much bigger
than Herbie, Dave and Machmoud.
Copy !req
165. I am talking about God.
God is the biggest wig of them all.
Copy !req
166. Cliff, did you pray
before you left home this morning?
Copy !req
167. There you go. If you had prayed,
none of this would have happened.
Copy !req
168. Come on. If you stretch it this far, you
can make anything out of those fortunes.
Copy !req
169. - I hope this is nothing. Mine was bad.
- What was it?
Copy !req
170. It said, "Your valuables are in jeopardy. "
I'll show it to you. It's in my wallet.
Copy !req
171. Somebody lifted my wallet.
Copy !req
172. Carla, will you take it easy?
He'll owe you the tip.
Copy !req
173. How do you explain that, Sammy?
Copy !req
174. - I found it.
- What do you say about that, Carla?
Copy !req
175. It makes no difference. The machine has
been right up until now. I say it's evil.
Copy !req
176. It heard me. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
177. Forgive me.
Copy !req
178. Stop it. Everybody's looking.
Come on.
Copy !req
179. I don't want to hear any more about it. It
is not magic. You can't take it seriously.
Copy !req
180. It's a sad world we live in when Sam
Malone becomes the voice of reason.
Copy !req
181. What am I talking for? Diane talks good.
Tell them how dumb they're being.
Copy !req
182. You're being dumb.
Copy !req
183. Had enough?
Copy !req
184. Well, I guess I'd better get one more
just to make sure it's safe to go home.
Copy !req
185. I can't look.
Sam, would you read it for me?
Copy !req
186. Don't read it if it's terrible.
Copy !req
187. It's OK.
"You will grow lips on your forehead. "
Copy !req
188. Very funny.
Copy !req
189. - It's OK. See you tomorrow.
- Good night, Carla. See you, kid.
Copy !req
190. - Keep it up. You'll pay.
- Thank you, Carla. Bye-bye.
Copy !req
191. - Night, Sam.
- Good night, Coach.
Copy !req
192. - What are you doing?
- Seeing if I gained weight.
Copy !req
193. - You didn't. Get off.
- What's wrong? You're acting strange.
Copy !req
194. - I'm acting fine.
- Let me get my weight here.
Copy !req
195. - Sam, don't.
- Will you tell me what's going on?
Copy !req
196. You're coming unglued here.
Copy !req
197. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Copy !req
198. - That scale has me spooked.
- You're kidding me?
Copy !req
199. You're the last person
I expect to fall for that voodoo stuff.
Copy !req
200. - Do you remember that fortune I got?
- No.
Copy !req
201. - "Deception in romance proves costly. "
- So?
Copy !req
202. I took another man
to that show last night.
Copy !req
203. You mean, like a guy?
Copy !req
204. At least pay attention. He's a classmate
of mine. A male classmate.
Copy !req
205. So you took some pimply wimp
from school. Big deal.
Copy !req
206. His complexion is as clear as mine
and we had a wonderful time.
Copy !req
207. At the performance?
Copy !req
208. Of course he took me home.
Copy !req
209. And?
Copy !req
210. I invited him in. We had coffee.
He left. That was it.
Copy !req
211. Instant coffee
or did you grind the beans?
Copy !req
212. It wasn't the same as it is with you.
I didn't grind them fine.
Copy !req
213. You did grind the beans?
Copy !req
214. All we did was talk.
Copy !req
215. - You didn't kiss him?
- I kissed him good night. It was nothing.
Copy !req
216. It was barely on the lips.
On the side. Very dry.
Copy !req
217. I have to be honest.
Copy !req
218. It was so good to talk to someone.
Copy !req
219. I miss talking about the things
I can't talk about with you.
Copy !req
220. I didn't tell you because you'd be angry.
Copy !req
221. - I'm not angry.
- Of course you are.
Copy !req
222. No, I'm not. As a matter of fact,
I'm kind of grateful.
Copy !req
223. I think I see our relationship
in a new light.
Copy !req
224. The truth is I don't fulfil all your needs
and you don't fulfil all mine.
Copy !req
225. So maybe we should call it quits.
Copy !req
226. What are you doing?
I have one innocent evening with a guy.
Copy !req
227. I come to you to make a clean breast
of it and this is the reaction I get.
Copy !req
228. You're even less understanding
than I feared. Fine. I want out of this.
Copy !req
229. Out of what? I already broke it off.
Copy !req
230. You said, "Maybe we should call it quits. "
I'm saying it's definitely over.
Copy !req
231. Hey, I don't care what I said.
In my mind, it was definite.
Copy !req
232. That ship has sailed.
Our relationship is through.
Copy !req
233. No, we're not through,
unless I say we're through.
Copy !req
234. We're through. Now we're through.
Copy !req
235. I'm not having an argument
about who broke up with who first.
Copy !req
236. With somebody I broke up with. I'm not
going to acknowledge your presence.
Copy !req
237. Is anybody here? Somebody I used
to go with? No. It's just Diane. Silly me.
Copy !req
238. - Don't do this.
- It's already done.
Copy !req
239. Sam, please.
Please don't joke about this.
Copy !req
240. I'm scared.
Copy !req
241. We can't break up because a pile
of metal springs said we were going to.
Copy !req
242. There's too much at stake.
Copy !req
243. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
244. Forgive me.
Copy !req
245. - Tell me you didn't break up with me.
- Of course I didn't.
Copy !req
246. Then I'm first.
Copy !req
247. - You are history.
- That was a rotten...
Copy !req
248. Now I know why I broke up with you
long before you broke up with me.
Copy !req
249. Who's talking?
Copy !req
250. It's just my employer.
Copy !req
251. Sam, we got a fortune.
Copy !req
252. - So?
- Aren't you going to read it?
Copy !req
253. No. What's the point?
Copy !req
254. Our destiny may be in that card.
I know it. I can feel it.
Copy !req
255. - You're crackers. You know that?
- Then read it.
Copy !req
256. OK. Fine.
Copy !req
257. You sure we should do this?
Copy !req
258. We've got to.
There might be no other way.
Copy !req
259. All right.
Copy !req
260. "Machine empty.
Order more fortunes today. "
Copy !req
261. English
Copy !req
