"A Single Drop of Rain"

Sure is nice ... workin' around here, feels good.
Must be the novelty.
-- Sam and Ralph, "A Single Drop of Rain"

*What* did I just DO?
That way my question exactly.
-- Sam, after getting into character, and Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

I'm glad you haven't lost your religion, boy, but you're gonna have to brush up on your prayer some.
-- Vern, overhearing Sam cuss out Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Maybe I'll get lucky and it'll blow up.
Don't whine Sam.
-- Sam and Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Why do we even bother?
Because that's what we do.  We're professional botherers.
-- Sam and Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Those morons guard their computer secrets like a little virgin guards her....
<glare from Sam>
stamp collection?  Why are you looking at me like that?
-- Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

What he means is that God makes the rain.  Doc Beaumont here just helps Him along a little.
-- Clinton, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Hi, Sam.  Nice outfit.
-- Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Ziggy says it's not going to rain here for some time.
How long is "some time?"
Eight months, one week, four days, two hours and 44 minutes.
-- Al and Sam, "A Single Drop of Rain"

And PS, God, make it rain!
-- Annie, in a codicil to grace, "A Single Drop of Rain"

This is serious Al.  I've leaped into a genuine criminal!
Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
-- Sam and Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

We can change history, we can change people, but the weather--that's the leap of another color.  No--that's a horse of another kettle...  No, I don't know what I mean.
-- Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

You have a ramp out there?
What kind of ramp?
A ramp for your chair so you...
Oh, no, if I tip over, I'll just beller a bit.  Somebody'll come.
-- Sam and wheelchair bound rancher, "A Single Drop of Rain"

And mom, I want you to throw this town the biggest picnic it's ever seen!
A picnic, why?
Why?  Cause it always rains on a picnic!
-- Sam and Mrs. Beaumont, "A Single Drop of Rain"

What do we do with the silver forks?
Mostly we eat with them.  You took them ... in pay ... from the gent in Alamagordo.
-- Sam and Clinton, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Yours truly had to do combat duty.
And what did you find out?
That girls that wear glasses have lots, and LOTS of energy.
-- Al and Sam, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Maybe you should think of Ralph like he was a foundation.
Okay!!  He's a pile of posts that are better off buried and you don't even notice them until they rot.  And then you either replace them or you move on.  Thanks, Billy, I never quite saw it that way!
-- Sam and Annie, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Doc, you picked me up out of Shanty Town in East St. Louis.  I never seen a sunrise or bathed in clean water or even had a full belly til I met you.  You taught me how to walk tall.  I think you're plenty worthwhile.
-- Clinton, "A Single Drop of Rain"

I don't know who's running this show.  I don't know why I was chosen.  I bounce around from place to place.  I do everything I'm supposed to do.  At least the best I can.  But I don't know how to do this one.  I mean, you gotta help me.  I figure you owe me, for a couple of times, anyway.  You make it rain.  You hear me?  YOU MAKE IT RAIN.
-- Sam, to "Him", "A Single Drop of Rain"

Make them stop!
Are you kidding?  I've waited years for this!
-- Annie and Mrs. Beaumont, "A Single Drop of Rain"

I'm exhausted, I was up all night putting the make on this secretary from MIT to get your rain information.
-- Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

What's he talking about?
How should I know, you're the physics expert.
-- Sam and Al, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Springtime is wonderful.  Sunsets are wonderful.  Babies are wonderful.  Ralph ... is Ralph.
-- Annie, "A Single Drop of Rain"

You're talking to thin air, around here we don't call that normal.
-- Ralph, "A Single Drop of Rain"

How long has it been anyway?
Has it been so long that you've forgotten the taste of my homemade spoonbread?
No ma'am.  No, not that long.
-- Sam and Grace, "A Single Drop of Rain"

I'd never dream of chargin' Billy ... for anything.
-- Thelma, "A Single Drop of Rain"

What are you doing to me?  I haven't seen a meal like that since they passed the cholesterol control act.
-- Al, at the picnic, "A Single Drop of Rain"

Why even bother?
Because that's what we do, we're professional botherers.
-- Sam and Al, "A Single Drop Of Rain"

If you believe, even in the face of your so-called facts, miracles can happen.
-- Sam, "A Single Drop Of Rain"
