Cheers: The Motion Picture

[Cheers]

(Woody is on the phone, apparently annoyed and nervous. Norm is on his usual stool with a beer and Frasier is next to him, on the stool usually occupied by Cliff)

Woody: (On the phone) I know, Dad, but still... (Moves a bit in the spot, visibly nervous and worried, and apparently tired of the situation) Well, whatever you think is best, Dad.

Right. Bye, Dad. (Hangs up the phone and looks to Norm and Frasier) That was my dad.

Frasier: (In an non-enthusiastic tone) Really?

Woody: Yeah, he's threatening to make me move back home to Indiana. He's been talking to my Uncle Fergie.

Norm: The guy who was here last week? I thought he had a great time.

Woody: Well, he did. (Turns and start filling a mug of beer) But all he told them about was the two times he got mugged.

Frasier: Oh, that was just bad luck.

Norm: Yeah.

Frasier: Woody, you've lived here two years. How many times you been mugged?

Woody: Ten. But...

(Woody serve beer to Frasier and Frasier looks at Norm as if to say "What an idiot")

Woody: You know, that's including the two times with Uncle Fergie.

Frasier: (Nods) Oh.

Woody: (Bends down and picks up a box) So now my parents are convinced that Boston is a dangerous town and all my friends are seedy lowlifes.

Frasier: Well, surely they don't want you to go back to Indiana because we're a corrupting influence.

Woody: Well, who knows? Somehow, they got the idea that every guy in Boston is some lonely, pathetic weirdo. (Takes the straws out of the box and puts them in a glass)

(Cliff walks out from the back of the bar following someone while holding a squash)

Cliff: Look, is this or is this not the spitting image of George Schultz?

(Frasier turns his head in annoyance at the scene and looks at Norm)

Norm: So, uh, Woody, what time does your bus leave?

Making your way in the world today

takes everything you've got.

Taking a break from all your worries

sure would help a lot.

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you wanna go

where everybody knows your name

and they're always glad you came.

You wanna be where you can see

our troubles are all the same.

You wanna be where everybody knows your name.

You wanna go where people know

people are all the same.

You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

(Diane is behind the bar, Norm and Cliff are on their usual stools, Frasier is at a table behind Cliff and Norm, Carla is sitting at a table visibly bored, and Sam is on his knees about three feet away from Diane, playing with a straw)

Diane: Okay, let's take it again. (Grabs a camera that is on the bar)

(Everyone groans, Sam throws the straw and Carla stretches out her arm and rests her head on the table)

Norm: Diane, do we really have to do this again?

Diane: (Leaves the camera on the bar and look at them) We all agreed that the best way to persuade Woody's parents to let him stay was to show them how decent and upstanding his friends are, right?

(Everyone mutter in agreement, but clearly sick and tired of everything)

Diane: Okay. And what better way to show them than by making a film of his everyday life? (Leaves the camera on the bar again, walks to the right cheerfully, uncovers a pen and writes something on a notepad) And who better to serve as auteur than the person who ruined the curve in her film techniques class.

Sam: (Fed up) Hey, Diane, shoot the damn film. (Drinks some water from a bottle)

Diane: (Looks at him) Would you tell Fellini (in a mocking tone) "Shoot the damn film"?

(Frasier rises his eyebrows while hearing Diane and looks at her annoyed. Carla and Cliff look at Sam as if to say "Please, stop this")

Diane: (Annoyed) Would you tell Antonioni "Shoot the damn film"? (Hurt) Would you tell Bergman "Shoot the damn film"?

Sam: (With his mouse half full, eating some pretzels) No, I'm telling you, shoot the damn film.

(Diane puts the cap on the pen)

Carla: Better yet, shoot the damn Diane.

(Frasier looks at Carla in surprise)

Diane: Please. A little more reverence for the words I've written. Stick to the script. And try to be spontaneous. (Grabs the camera) Okay. (Holding the note in front of the camera) Take 17, "Man-child in Beantown".

(Everyone looks at her annoyed)

Diane: Action!

Norm: (Reading) You know, when, the average Joe like me gets off work, (looks at the camera) he needs to come to a place like this where he can sort of unwind with his surrogate family.

Cliff: Took the words right out of my mouth, Norm. (Looks at the note) But it feels as if a, uh, crucial part of our support system is missing.

Sam: You're right. Uh, what do you think that would be, Carla?

Carla: (Reading) Could it be that bucolic ray of sunshine from Indiana? (Fed up, she breaks the note) Stupid. (Throw the papers to Diane) This whole thing is stupid, Diane!

Diane: (Leaves the camera on the bar and claps her hands twice, trying to maintain order) People, people, work with me! Work with me!

(Carla gives her a dismissive gesture)

Sam: I hate that. I hate... "People, people..."

Diane: Please, Sam.

Sam: All right, all right.

(Diane shoots Sam)

Sam: Um, you're right. Woody's not here.

(Diane moves around the bar)

Sam: The place seems so empty without his smiling countenance.

(On the door, Woody ask Diane if he needs to enter now and Diane tells him to while smiling)

Woody: (Enters, with hand raised in salute) Hello, buddies.

Sam, Norm, Cliff and Frasier: Hello, Woody!

Sam: Come on over and join us for some male bonding.

Woody: (Walking towards the telephone) Well, that sounds good, but first, I have to call my mother.

Sam, Norm, Cliff and Frasier: Awwww...!

Norm: Yeah, it sure is refreshing to see a son being so considerate of his mother. Isn't it, Carla?

Carla: (Annoyed, to Diane) It's stupid!

(Diane lowers the camera, looks at her annoyed and shoots Sam)

Sam: You know, my lovely and cherished...

Diane: (Quietly) Fawn-like.

Sam: ...fawn-like bride-to-be, Diane Chambers...

(Diane smiles hearing Sam said that)

Sam: (Giving up) You're right, Carla, this is stupid.

(Diane lowers the camera and looks at him annoyed)

Sam: The whole thing is stupid! I mean, why can't we just use our own words? Be ourselves here?

Diane: (Annoyed) Fine, Mr. Smarty Pants. Wait, (smiles at him) that gave me a wonderful idea!

Carla: Oh, no. Not again.

Diane: Don't worry. You won't need to do anything.

Carla: You're gonna take care of Woody's parents forcing him to come back or are you just saying you're outta here?

Diane: None of that. I'm going to leave the camera on a tripod so it can record what our daily life is like. What grater way to show parents what a family we are? It will be like a documentary. No script, no forced comments, just Cheers people in their natural habitat.

Sam: (Surprised) Wait, that's actually a good idea.

Carla: Yes, especially because we don't need to put up with Diane.

(Diane looks at her annoyed)

(...)

(Is the afternoon of the next day. Frasier is next to Norm while both are drinking a beer. Cliff is on the other side of the bar, the one which is closest to the door. Sam is washing some glasses, Woody is pouring drinks bar, Diane is serving some costumers and Carla is in the pool room)

Frasier: Hey, Woody.

(Woody approaches)

Frasier: I just had an idea. Why don't you tell your parents about us? Maybe if they get to know us through you and see how you feel about everybody, they'll change their minds. After all, you don't want to leave because you consider Cheers people your family, right?

Woody: (Surprised) That's a great idea, Dr. Crane! (Walks back to where he was, picks up his camera, steps out of the bar and positions himself) Would you mind setting up here for a moment? I want to take a picture for my parents.

Sam: Sure!

Diane: (To Sam) How's my hair?

Carla: (Walking towards the bar) Horrible, as usual.

(Diane looks at her annoyed and Sam gives her his mirror. Diane looks at herself, fixes her bangs, puts it away and they all place themselves and smile)

Alan: (Standing up from the bar and going over to them) Woody, give me the camera, I'll take the picture.

Woody: Thank you very much. (Gives it to him)

(Alan takes the picture and gives the camera to Woody)

Woody: Miss Chambers, can I borrow your camera for a while?

Diane: Of course. Use it all the time you need.

Woody: Thank you very much! (He takes it, goes to Sam's office, puts the camera in the back and sits on the desk)

Diane: (Opens the door) Woody, don't forget to hit record.

Woody: (Runs to hit the button) Thank you, Miss Chambers! I almost forgot!

(Diane, seeing that he's as forgetful as she assumed, smiles and closes the door to give him privacy)

(...)

[A few days later. In the evening]

(Cliff is setting up the projector when Diane enters holding two videotapes. Sam and Frasier are sitting next to each other. Woody is in front of them and Carla about three feet from Woody. Norm is behind the bar ready to ready to turn on the projector and all the people in the bar are ready to watch the documentary)

Diane: Ready to see my masterpiece?

Sam: (Eating popcorn) Yes. Cliffie, get the lights there.

(Cliff turns off the lights and go sit on a table with Woody and Frasier, who moved so that Diane could sit with Sam. Diane gives Norm the tape to play and sit next to Sam. After seeing the Cheers sign, the entrance to the bar and a shot of the bar, Woody is shown in Sam's office)

Woody: Hi Dad, Hi Mom. It's me, Woody. I'm recording this because I want to talk to you about my friends. (He shows them the picture, walks over to the camera so they can see it and points to Sam) This man over here is Sam Malone, the owner of the bar. He's like a brother to me. Sam was a former Red Sox pitcher and he's very popular with the ladies, but he's now engaged to Miss Chambers. (He points to her) She's the person with the strongest moral values in the whole bar. Whenever people do something wrong, she talks to them and tries to get them to do the right thing. She's also very smart. She studied Literature in college and is now studying Psychology while working here as a waitress. When there aren't many customers, she usually reads a book. And sometimes she does her homework here too. She's like the big sister I never had. I love her a lot. She and Sam are my favorite people after you. Oh, and her name is Diane. (Points to Carla) This women over here is Carla Tortelli. She's a waitress at the bar. She works very hard to take care of her six children because she's divorced and the kids' father doesn't take care of them. She's now dating a hockey player. Seeing her and Miss Chambers in love at the same time makes me really happy. They both deserve to be happy with men who respect them. (Points to Cliff and Norm) These gentlemen over here are Cliff Clavin and Norm Peterson, two regulars at the bar. Mr. Clavin is a mailman and knows facts about a lot of things, and Mr. Peterson is an accountant and is the most loyal customer ever. Every day after work he comes here to drink beer, and he comes here on weekends too. (Points to Frasier) And this man here is Dr. Frasier Crane. He's a psychiatrist and he's very smart. When Sam and Diane broke up three years ago, they were very sad, and she went to an institution to get some help to overcome the breakup. There she met Dr. Crane and they became friends, but he was not her doctor. They also dated for a while, but it didn't work out. She was still in love with Sam. I don't know what Ms. Chambers would talk to those psychiatrists about, but they must have helped her a lot, because according to Mr. Peterson and Mr. Clavin, Sam and Diane fight a lot less than they used to and now she seems to be very happy. Well, that's all. These people have been part of my family for the past two years, and I would be very sad to say goodbye to them. Please don't just go by what Uncle Fergie said. I'm earning more money here than I did in Indiana, I have great friends, I'm happy and I feel at home with them.

(The screen goes black for a few seconds and then Norm is seen entering the bar)

All: Noooorm!

Diane: Norman...

Woody: A beer, Mr. Peterson?

Norm: Please. I've been working so hard my brain is dry.

Cliff: Does that mean you're doing well at your new job?

Norm: More than great. I'm working harder than I did at my old job, but I'm also feeling more appreciated.

Diane: I'm very happy to hear that.

Sam: (Entering the bar) Hey, Woody, has the delivery guy arrived with the boxes of beer?

Woody: Yes. He arrived this morning when you were buying household stuff with Ms. Chambers. The receipts are in your office.

Sam: Thank you very much. (Walks to his office)

(The screen goes black for a few seconds and then Woody is seen entering the bar holding a puppy in his arms)

Woody: Hey, Sam, I have a problem. This little buddy was outside the bar alone. He doesn't have a collar and I'm not even sure he has a home. Do you mind if I take care of this little pooch for a while? I'll take care of walking him and feeding him. If he makes a mess, I'll clean it up, but please, scold me, not the dog.

Sam: (Smiles at the comment) Ok, don't worry. I like puppies. You're doing the right thing taking care of that little fellow. He wouldn't be safe in the streets.

Diane: (Walking to him) Can I tell you something, Woody?

Woody: Sure, Miss Chambers.

Diane: This is the cutest problem you've bring to the bar. (Gently strokes the dog's head)

Woody: Thank you.

Sam: I thought you didn't like dogs.

Diane: I like them. It's true that I'm more a cat person, but I guess I just can't resist to babies. Now is my time for lunch. I'll stop by the supermarket to buy him some food. Sam, please, give him some water in the meantime.

Cliff: Have you thought of a name for him?

(The screen goes black for a few seconds and then Woody is seen counting some receipts. The bar is dark and they are the only two people left)

Woody: Sam, you've made a mistake here. The amount is 250, not 230.

Sam: 250? That's not possible.

Woody: You forgot the discount you got from the beer supplier. By the way, a customer tipped me $150 for the puppy. He said the puppy was his and had run away from home two days ago.

Sam: Woody, that's a reward, not a tip.

Woody: Maybe. But it's still money from a person who's grateful and happy with our work.

Sam: Well, if you look at it that way...

Woody: In any case, I thought it was better to put it in the cash register of the bar. After all, we all took care of him.

Sam: (Smiles) Thank you. That was very considerate of you.

Woody: (Sad) I already miss him...

Sam: (Smiles) You get close to animals pretty fast, huh?

Woody: I think I can't help it. They're too cute. And they are so loving and loyal...

Sam: (Smiles) Yes, they are. Actually... they remind me of you (laughs). You have that golden retriever energy.

Woody: The dog wasn't a golden retriever.

Sam: I know, I know. By the way, Carla said she needed a babysitter this Saturday morning and Cliff is working. Would you be up for watching those little demons? Carla said she'd pay you if you do.

Woody: Of course I'm up for it. Getting paid to help a friend is not something I get offered every day. Besides, I want to save some money because when I go back to Indiana I know I'll be so depressed I won't be able to perform as well at work. (Crying) I'll miss you all. (Hugs him)

Sam: (Sad) Oh, Woody.

Diane: (Entering) Sam, are you-?

Woody: (Crying, runs to Diane and hugs her) I'm going to miss you too. Will you let me know when to come to your wedding?

Diane: (Crying) Of course we'll do. You're part of our family. Sam loves you more than his own brother.

Woody: (Surprised, he turns away from Diane and looks at Sam) Really?

Sam: (Somewhat embarrassed) Yes... He's so good at everything I feel invisible around him. I don't feel that way with you.

Woody: Because I'm an idiot?

Sam: (Laughs) No. You're not an idiot. You're just innocent and kinda naive, but you're a very good person. That's why everybody loves you.

Diane: (Looks at him warmly and puts a hand on his cheek) You have a lot more charm than you realize.

Woody: Thank you, Miss Chambers. You have a lot of charm too.

(Diane laughs a bit)

Sam: (Smiles while walking to them) That's another thing I like about you. You've never tried to steal Diane from me. (Playfully hugs her and kisses her on the cheek) Besides, when you say something nice to someone, you say it because you really mean it, not because you're trying to get anything. Your parents must have raised you well. How about a ride home? It's pretty late.

(The screen goes black for a few seconds and then Carla is seen washing some glasses while Norm finishes one last beer)

Norm: Hey, Carla, do you think Woody will finally convince his parents?

Carla: I don't know, but I hope he does.

Norm: (Puzzled and surprised) Did I hear right? Did you make a nice comment about someone who is not Sammy?

Carla: Look, I know Woody's not the most intelligent guy, but he's a good kid, and he works real hard. Now that Sam and Diane are making arrangements for the wedding, if it weren't for him, I'd be with the water up to my neck. I have six kids, and two of them are still too young. I can't do double shifts. If his parents force him to go home, I don't know what's going to happen to me, especially when Sam and Diane leave for their honeymoon. Besides, his innocence sometimes reminds me of Coach (smiles). That... makes me smile sometimes. I feel like he helped the bar keep its essence even after he died.

Norm: Yeah (laughs). If he left, I think the bar would feel very empty, and not in the physical sense of the word.

(The screen goes black and the credits are shown)

Sam: (A bit annoyed) hey, you cut our whole part!

Diane: Of course I did! One thing is to make a good impression on Woody's parents and another is to lie to them... Or scare them... Besides, who's going to believe that you read the Bible?

Sam: Well... (Laughs)

Diane: Anyway, now it's time for some bloopers. (Stands up and gives Norm the other tape)

Sam: Bloopers?

Diane: (Sitting) Yes.

(When the screen turns on, Sam and Woody are seen in Sam's office. Sam is sitting in the desk chair reading a book)

Woody: That's Sam. He's more than just a boss to me. He's like the big brother I never had. Well, except for Tom.

Sam: (Looks at Woody) Hi, Woody. (Looks at the camera) Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd.

Woody: Another good friend, Mr. Norm Peterson, has been kind enough to run the camera for us today.

(Norm, still holding the camera, approaches the lens and his face is seen tilted and very close up. People at the bar laughs while the screen turns black before another scene is shown. A second later, Woody is shown with Carla in her yard. She is wearing two little buns and looks like a good girl)

Carla: Hi.

Woody: What do we have here? Uh, this is just the sort of family type thing we do here in Boston.

(In the back, Frasier is seen running and yelling while Carla's children chase him with water guns)

Carla: Hi.

Woody: Say something besides "hi".

Carla: Hello.

(People at the bar laughs and Carla rolls her eyes. In the screen, a loud noise of a plane is heard)

Woody: You hear that? Well, uh, Carla lives near the airport so...

(The noise becomes so hard that Woody can't be heard anymore and Sam and Cliff, who were eating in the table next to Woody, fell from their chairs trying to follow the plane with their eyes)

Woody: Actually, sometimes, it's hard to hear.

(While Woody turns to talk to Cliff, Ginno puts Woody's sneakers on the barbecue and Woody, inattentively, spreads sauce on them with the brush. Then, Frasier is seen running like crazy, angry at Carla's kid. After that, the shoes start to burn and Frasier runs to the barbecue and spits out all the water that Carla's children had thrown on him. The screen turns black and Diane pauses the "movie" before moving on to the next scene)

Diane: I have a question. Why didn't anyone tell me about the barbecue?

Sam: What was the point? You had an early lunch because you had a dentist appointment, and then your mother came over and you two spent the whole afternoon together. If you had come with us, she probably would have regret not seeing you, and Carla's kids would have set your hair on fire.

Carla: I hadn't thought of that! Why didn't you invite her?!

(Diane looks at her annoyed, picks up one of Sam's popcorn and throws it at her. Carla dodges it and laughs at Diane's reaction. Then, Diane presses play again and Woody and Cliff are seen in a building)

Cliff: You know, Woods, you'd make a good postal carrier yourself.

Woody: Yeah?

Cliff: You've got, uh, youth, stamina and a friend down at the post office.

Woody: Oh, who's that, Mr. Clavin?

(Everyone at the bar laughs)

Cliff: Woody, you know there's nothing quite like the pride a postman feels on the swift completion of his appointed rounds.

(Cliff leaves and all the neighbors start opening their doors and exchange letters. Then the screen turns black and, a second later, it shows Norm and Woody in the Hungry Heifer)

Woody: Hi, Corinne.

Corinne: Hi, honey. Studying at the feet of the master?

Woody: Huh?

Corinne: What can I get you, Norm?

Norm: The, uh, Feeding Frenzy Special for two.

Corinne: How about you, honey?

Woody: Well, I think he was ordering for both of us.

Norm: No. No.

Woody: Oh, well, give me just one.

Corinne: (Looking at the camera) Anything for you, Sam?

(Sam shakes his head, causing the camera to move sideways)

Corinne: Smart move.

(The screen turns black for a second and then it shows Corinne bringing in a cart with pounds of corn on the cob and meat and serving it to Norm and Woody)

Norm: Oh, Corinne, I think you forgot the, uh, French fries.

Corinne: Don't you wanna save room for dessert?

Norm: You're one step ahead of me.

(The screen turns black for two seconds and then it shows Frasier in his office)

Frasier: Let me address some of your reservations about the psychiatric profession. (Walking to his desk) In this building, you see 18 floors of highly trained, dedicated professionals, (sitting down) whose sole purpose is to heal the mind.

(In the window behind Frasier, a man is seen falling, clearly committing suicide)

Frasier: (Surprised) Oh, dear God... Poor man... Thanks, Diane, for cutting that part. I've gotta tell Dr. Judd to keep his windows closed during his depression seminar.

Carla: Hey, Diane, you didn't send this one to Woody's parents, do you?

Diane: (A bit surprised and offended at the question) Of course not!

Carla: Good thing, 'cause after seeing that, I think we all should move to Indiana.

(...)

[The next day. Cheers. In the afternoon]

(Woody is at the door with a suitcase)

Woody: Well, I have to go. I'm flying out in an hour. I'll be back before the wedding. (He cries and jumps to hug Sam) I'll miss you, guys!

Sam: We'll miss you too. Um, Woody, I want you to have something. (Goes to the bar, takes a picture and hands it to him)

Carla: While we're at it, Woody, here. (Gives him and earring)

Woody: Oh, one of your Elvis earrings.

Carla: Yeah. Well, he was one of a kind and so are you. (Hugs him with a smile)

Woody: Oh...

Carla: Besides, the guy I went out with last night, he swallowed the other one.

Diane: Here. (Gives him a book) I want you to have this. It's a copy of Being and Nothingness. My mother gave it to me in grade school. (Hugs him)

Woody: Aw, thanks, Miss Chambers. I don't think I've read this one. I'll return it to you when I read it so that you can carry on the tradition with your own children.

Norm: Woody, uh... (Takes out six beers from a paper bag) A six-pack. For... all the, uh, beer you've poured me over the years, you know. (Stirs his hair)

Woody: Thanks a lot, Mr. Peterson.

Cliff: So, Woods, uh, I've got a sheet of commemorative stamps here depicting, uh, all the U.S. Presidents, uh, well, except nine. (Gives him the paper and stirs his hair, leaving it messy)

Woody: That's great. Thank you, Mr. Clavin.

Frasier: (Looks for something in all his pockets, nervously) See, I didn't know... I didn't know we were giving gifts. I could, uh, could I send you something?

Woody: I don't think I'll be there for that long. If you want to give me something, you can wait till I'm back.

Frasier: Wait, you will come back?

Woody: Of course I will. I wouldn't miss Sam and Diane's wedding for anything in the world, and besides, Sam hasn't fired me.

Sam: Well, I haven't, but...

Woody: (In the verge of tears, he hugs him) Please, don't fire me...

Sam: I won't, I won't...

Woody: Well, I gotta go. See you in a few weeks.

Diane: Bye, Woody.

Frasier: Does anybody know his shirt size?

(Diane looks at him as if to say "Oh, come on, Frasier")

Sam: (Walking towards the bar) Come on, let me buy you all a beer on the house. (Starts pouring beer in a mug)

Norm: (Walking to his stool) No, not for me, Sammy. Beer's just gonna remind me of the kid. It'll be quite some time before I can even smell one again. (Sits and see the beer) Well, maybe if I don't breath while drinking it...

(...)

[Cheers. At night]

(Everyone in the bar is sad and quiet. Norm is looking at his beer mug, Cliff and Frasier are playing chess on a table behind Norm, Sam is eating pretzels, Carla is sitting at a table doing a crossword puzzle, and Diane is trying to read a book. At that moment, the phone rings and Sam picks it up)

Sam: Cheers... (Surprised to hear him) Woody?! (Very happy) That's wonderful! (Frowns, thoughtful) No, it wasn't me. (...) Ok, I'll ask them. (...) Of course. (Laughs) We love you too, Woody. (Hangs up)

Diane: (Looks at Sam, nervously) So?

Sam: (Happy) He'll come back!

Diane: (Happy) To stay here? To work here?

Sam: Yes!

(Everyone celebrates)

Norm: (Finishes his beer and rise the mug) A beer to celebrate!

Cliff: Would it be rude to ask him to return the gifts?

(Diane looks at him in disapproval)

Sam: His father likes the documentary, but Woody said what actually made him changed his mind was a real simple note someone sent him.

Diane: What did it say?

Sam: It said "Let your son choose his own path, and it will always lead back to you", but it wasn't signed.

Diane: Oh, how eloquent. And beautiful. But it's true. If you've been a good parent, your kids will be happy to see you anytime they can.

Sam: It was your thing?

Diane: No, it wasn't me. (Looks at the end of the bar) Frasier?

Frasier: Oh, not me. My father and I have never exactly been best friends. I wouldn't have come up with that idea.

Sam: Same here.

Diane: Carla?

Carla: No. I don't even want my children to come back to me. I've had enough raising them. By the time they're twenty, I hope they're out of the house.

Diane: Then who send it? Cliff?

Norm: For that he would have to have flown the nest sometime.

(Diane and Sam laughs a bit)

Sam: I'd like to know who it was so I could thank them.

Al: (Leaving) Don't mention it, kid.

(Norm and Carla, Cliff and Frasier and Sam and Diane look at each other and Carla, Sam, Diane and Frasier smiles, very surprised)
