"Boxer shorts and loose shoes. But I'll settle for a beer." 



"Hey Norm, how's the world been treating you?" 

"Like a baby treats a diaper."



"Hey, everybody."

[silence; everybody is mad at Norm for being rich]

"Norm! (Norman.)"

"How are you feeling today, Mr. Peterson?" 

"Rich and thirsty. Pour me a beer."



[the bar is completely different, since Sam went sailing around the world and sold the bar]

"Hey, everybody."

"Norm!" [nobody else in the bar says anything]
