"Cheers"Is filmed before A live studio audience.

Sam, two nights ago On the boat,

You demonstrated in No uncertain terms

That you and I Are inevitable.

You said those words I had hoped to hear For so long--

"Will you marry me?"

Before thinking, I responded, "No."

But then I realized All I needed

Was some time alone To clear my mind.

Now I have Returned to you with A resounding "Yes!"

It's fate, sam.

I don't like it Any more Than you do,

But I've decided To accept it.

Therefore, I'm going To work here

So that when you Finally accept it--

As we both know You will--

We can move forward To build and nurture Our relationship.

Excuse me. I have customers To wait on.

No, you-- Lis--listen.

I don't--I don't Want you here.

I don't want you In the building.

I don't want you On this planet!

He's crazy About me.

No, I'm not Crazy about her.

I tell you, You make me sick To my stomach.

That's how I am About her.

We have kind of A little thing going.

Now, what would You like?

I'm sorry. This isn't my table.

Miss chambers?

You know I'm your friend, and Friends should stick together,

So I'm really happy You're back.

Oh, woody, thanks.

Well, kind of happy because Sam's my friend, too.

So I can't be too happy, Or else he'll can me,

Which would make me Really sad.

And I know you, as my friend, Wouldn't be happy about that.

So whatever you do, Don't tell sam What I just told you.

What did you just Tell me?

Perfect.

Sam, what do you Think of vivaldi At the ceremony?

You can invite Anybody you want. I don't care.

As a matter of fact, Nobody's Gonna be there

Because there's Not gonna be A wedding.

But if you want To work here, That's fine.

You've got My blessings.

I'm glad you've come around To see the wisdom of it.

Oh, there's Wisdom in it.

There's tons Of wisdom.

Let me tell you why.

I want you to have A front-row seat here

For all the luscious Babes I'm gonna have

Secure in the Knowledge that You love me.

Why else would you Propose to someone?

Nevertheless, Do what you will.

But keep in mind That you might Try to sabotage

This tryst of yours Because deep In your heart,

You know It's not right-- We are.

If you and sam hang around Each other long enough,

One of you is gonna Kill the other.

Sh--

She's in the, uh, The bathroom right now.

She's tickling you From the bathroom?

Well, she just went in there.

She--she always runs into the Bathroom after she tickles me.

Perhaps it's nausea.

Sam, I really want to apologize To her face to face.

I'll be right up.

No, no, no! Don't!

Oh, good, good! Do me a favor, will you? I'll pay you $50.

I beg Your pardon?

Hold it, now! Just a minute here!

I promise you, No weird stuff.

I just want your wife To go into the bathroom And make some noises.

What kind of noises?

This could take A little while here.

Why don't you, uh,

Why don't you just Yell your apology Through the door here?

Oh, that's silly. I'll be here All weekend.

I can certainly Wait.

[woman laughs]

She sure is busy.

Is that enough, Or should we Snap some towels?

See, uh, he's The bathroom inspector.

It's a new thing.

Sam, let's call An end to this Nonsense right now.

I don't care How rough You were on her,

That is not vicki.

You see, I know vicki left.

I've known All along.

And you let me go through This whole stupid act?

Well, I wanted to see How far you'd go...

Ordering two sets Of meals,

Leaving empty bottles Of vitamin e Outside your door.

Yeah, well, What about you?

You know, coming all the way Up here to spy on me?

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

Yeah?

What's the use?

We both look Like imbeciles.

All we do is Find new ways

To humiliate Each other.

I humiliate you By saying no

To your Sweet proposal.

You humiliate me By rejecting My retraction.

You carry off this Ridiculous charade.

I spy on you In hotel rooms.

It's become sick And degrading, And quite frankly,

I'm embarrassed To be a part Of it, sam!

Yeah, well, I'm not too thrilled You're part of it, either.

Here you go, pal.

Oh.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I guess this all looks Pretty weird, doesn't it?

Oh, nothing I Haven't seen before.

I believe You owe us $50.

Now, there's A new one!

Boy, carla, you know, I never thought You'd be able

To unload all those Kittens in one night.

Yeah, it was just A simple matter of Marketing technique, you know?

Giving away a beer With each kitten Really did the trick.

Come on. Let's go.

Time for your First cab ride.

You know, you guys are Really gonna love vera.

She has legs just like A scratching post.

Oh, good evening.

Sam: evening.

Oh. It's you, huh?

Small world.

Hmm.

I thought I was Eating late enough To avoid seeing you.

Me, too...

The only reason why I waited so long To eat.

Oh, I thought perhaps It was because you've Been eating for two.

I'm kind of glad You're here.

I've been sitting here Driving myself crazy.

When we used to Come here,

Wasn't there a lobster trap Out in the lobby?

Oh, yeah.

I guess the lobsters Finally wised up

And started coming Through the kitchen.

Ha ha ha!

By the way, I suppose I owe you an apology For being here this weekend.

In retrospect, I guess...

It was probably A mistake.

"Probably"?

I'd say "Definitely," If you were to admit That it was a mistake

To flaunt your date In front of me.

Apology accepted.

Boy, the one thing I really hate Is to eat alone.

I always feel Like someone's Looking at me.

I'm the only one here.

Well, you're Looking at me.

Then you can either Join me, or I can eat With my eyes closed.

Well, I'd hate To have you butter Your knuckles.

Good.

Sam, you know what I remember Most about being here before?

Oh, sure, sure.

I think the salt air Gives me extra stamina.

Actually, I was thinking of The clams oregano.

But now that you mention it, I did enjoy the...

Salt air.

Sam, what I said before About our relationship,

I'm--I'm sorry I said it.

I was upset.

It may not be ideal, but...

It hasn't been Without its moments.

Speaking of moments, This is beginning To feel like one here.

Yes, I think I've decided What I want, and it's Not on the menu.

Oh. You want to Skip the main course

And jump right into The sammy souffle?

I see you haven't lost Your way with word.

Let's go.

Yes, this is The perfect moment,

But it is with The understanding, Isn't it, of...

What this step we're About to take means?

Oh, yeah, yeah. No problem.

If they give us any Trouble, I'll just Pay for both rooms.

What it means Between us.

Now, wait, listen--

No, it has to Mean something, sam.

I'm only gonna Agree to do this If we agree that

It doesn't mean Anything.

How can our lovemaking Not mean something?

Well, it's easy-- Just concentrate.

I don't want to get caught up In a war of words with you.

What I'm feeling right now Is very...Special,

And I think we should go Upstairs and be with each other

And figure out What it means afterwards.

Let's go.

No.

What?

I--I got to be clear What I'm doing here.

I mean, My gut's telling me One thing,

But my head's Telling me something Quite different.

I don't believe What I'm hearing.

Ha ha ha!

Ohh!

Gotcha! Ha ha!

You were joking?

Yeah. How's it feel?

I mean, how do you like It when you get your Motor all revved up,

And then someone Jerks the rug out From under you?

Well, mixed metaphors aside,

I don't like it a bit...

Yeah.

But your point Is well taken And I deserved that.

Well, great. Ha ha ha!

All right. Come on, let's go.

No.

What do you mean, No?

Oh, all right. I see What you're doing.

That's good. That's very funny. Ha ha!

All right. Come on.

No. The only place I'm going is home.

It was very funny. I laughed. The Joke's over here.

Sam, this is the wrong time For physical dalliance.

It's too soon.

If we rush into A physical encounter now,

We might ruin the much More important nuptial Consummation coming up.

Smell the old Salt air?

Sam, please. This is nothing To worry about.

We're on The right course.

When we're married, You'll be happy We waited.

Really, this is Nothing to be Upset about.

Bye-bye.

Fine! Fine, fine.

I mean, it's perfect!

You said someone was Gonna ruin this weekend,

But now I'm really Gonna have some fun here!

Shoot.

Did we lose Another one?

Yeah.
