[first lines]
Diane Chambers: [Diane walks into the bar] Hello, everyone.
Sam Malone: [quietly] Hey.
[there is a general quiet acknowledgment by everyone in the bar to Diane's entrance]
Diane Chambers: Oh, come on! What kind of a greeting is that? When Norm comes in, you all yell, "Norm!" - make a big fuss over him. Is it asking too much for me to get the same treatment once in a while?
Sam Malone: She's right. Try it again, sweetheart.
Diane Chambers: Yeah. Thanks.
[Diane walks out of the bar, and re-enters]
Diane Chambers: Hello, everyone.
Everyone in the Bar: [shouts] Norm!
Diane Chambers: That's better.

Diane, of course, complicates things by trying to protect Sam's feelings. Had she let the jersey stay in the auction - presumably to end up on Mr. Bobo's table - this would have been a very different episode. Whether it would have been sadder or funnier is hard to say. As it stands this is a pretty good S&D episode, ending with yet another confrontation in Sam's office.
The subplot (Norm trying to show a client he's not a lazy barfly) is pretty much a retread of the subplot in Any Friend Of Diane's, now with added Cliff.
