[Becker walks into the diner]

You guys see the paper this morning?

John, we keep going over this. I'm blind. I haven't seen anything for five years.

Yeah, well it's unbelievable. Some kid in West Virginia gets a bad grade, grabs his daddy's rifle and shoots out his teacher's tyres. Another slice of Americana brought to you by those card-carrying lunatics who think they're defending the Second Amendment! Lord knows when I want the Constitution explained to me, the first place I turn to is some toothless cretin with a third-grade education and an Elmer Fudd cap! Not that I have anything against hunting; if it makes you feel more like a man to blow Bambi's head off, knock yourself out! Just lock up the damn gun so when little Billy Bob, you know, flunks gym, he doesn't throw a hissy fit and take out half the faculty!

Reg, we gotta get to the paper before he does so we can cut out everything that'll piss him off!

RKRegina "Reggie" Kostas

That pretty much leaves the weather and Charlie Brown.

Yeah, you know I hate that pathetic little clod! How hard is it to kick a damn football?!

[Linda wants to rename the exam rooms A, B and C and put the patients in them according to the letter of their ailment]

There are three exams rooms, that's only A, B and C. What if someone comes in with, oh, I don't know, "M" for "migraine"?

Headache, "A" for ache.

Pregnancy?

Dr. John Becker': "B" for baby.

"C" for see-through.

[talking to a pregnant patient] Okay, Mrs. Capelos, you're gonna be just fine. In a couple of weeks, you're gonna be flat on your back with your legs in the air, screaming like a banshee. [after she leaves, under his breath] Pretty much what put you in that condition in the first place!

[Becker opens his door to two Jehovah's Witnesses]

JSJehovah's Witness

Hello, sir. Have you given any thought to the afterlife?

Depends. Are you two gonna be there?

JSJehovah's Witness

Why yes- [Becker slams the door]'
