Simon Says (1987)

George Wendt: Norm Peterson

Quotes 

• Norm Peterson : Doc, hi. I'm Norm Peterson. I have to tell you that my wife is a big fan of yours, sir. Yeah, she reads all those marriage improvement books.

  Dr. Simon Finch-Royce : Great. Have they helped?

  Norm Peterson : They've helped me. It gives her something to do in bed.

• Diane : The man's a quack! Imagine, he had the nerve to say that Sam and I shouldn't get married.

  [adopting a British accent] 

  Diane : That we have absolutely nothing in common.

  Norm Peterson : Excuse me, Diane. What exactly do you two have in common?

  Diane : Well, we...

  [can't finish her sentence, and just stares at Sam] 

  Carla Tortelli : Wait a minute. Somebody's suggesting that Sam and Diane aren't right for each other. Now where have I heard that before? Of course: my prayers!

• Cliff Clavin : [talking to Simon]  So if you Brits ever find yourselves in trouble against, uh, another major Military power like Argentina, don't worry about a thing. We Yanks will be there to bail you out just like we worked on the last two big ones, eh?

  [Simon just gives a quiet, smiling nod, 'masking' his true emotions] 

  Norm Peterson : Cliffy! Cliff, there's a gentleman over here that thinks you know absolutely nothing about photosynthesis.

  Cliff Clavin : [getting up]  Oh yeah, Norm? Well, I'll straighten him out.
