Diane (to Carla): I like my men more masculine than you. Not much, but more.
Sam: Come in to my office and let me show you something I've managed to overcome.
Diane: Don't tell me you finally mastered the stapler.
Diane (to Sam): As us16d0ual, Mr. Malone has his brains caught in his zipper.
Nick Tortelli: I bet you never thought you'd see me again.
Diane: Change the word 'thought' to 'begged God' and you have a true statment.
Sam: (Talking about his tuxedo) Lately I've been logging a lot of hours in the old monkey suit.
Diane: You know, up until now, I never realized just how appropriate that nickname is.
Diane: Very good, Sam. And just when we were about to hand a 'For Rent' sign on Sam's forehead. -

When Carla and Diane were competing as to who would make the better waitress, Diane suggests that they each give a speech why and asks Carla to speak first-
"Carla, the floor is yours, and not for the first time, I might add." -

Love that one too!
Sam: I'll think of something.

Diane: They do if they're wearing tweed!

Sam and Diane are sniping at each other:
Sam: At least MY dates don't count the number of letters in sentences!

Honour thy parents. They were hip to the groove too once you know. -

From the second episode of the first season (first show after the pilot):
(after the two are arguing about the kind of women Sam dates)
Sam
:(in a comeuppance tone) Well.. uhh, I've never met an intelligent woman I would
want
to date!
Diane
: On behalf of the intelligent women around the world, may I just say:
pheww
!
I saw this episode (and the whole first five years) when it first played 30 years ago a time when "intelligent women" were just beginning to be acknowledged as existing, here and there and I never forgot that line.
