Becker · Season 1

Dr. John Becker, Jake Malinak and others in “Take These Pills and Shove 'Em”

Dr. John Becker

Hey, Jake. Let me ask you something. Say you're crossing the street and some guy yells at you because you're about to be hit by a bus.

Jake Malinak

What street?

Dr. John Becker

What's the difference?

Jake Malinak

Well, John, I'm tying to help you here, so...

Dr. John Becker

All right, fine, fine. Fourth and Road. You happy? The point is...

Jake Malinak

Is it a local or an express?

Dr. John Becker

What difference does it make?

Jake Malinak

Well, I want to know how fast it's going. Now, if it's a local, I know it's going to stop, but if it's an express, it's just going to come barreling through--

Dr. John Becker

I don't know what kind of bus it is, all right?

Jake Malinak

Okay, fine, fine. So, I'm crossing the street, and here comes some kind of bus which may or may not be going fast enough to hit me.

Dr. John Becker

Okay, you know what? The bus was going faster than I thought! You're dead!

Jake Malinak

Why does it always have to be the blind black guy crossing the street?

Dr. John Becker

Oh, all right! Fine, Jake! It's a white guy crossing the street!

Jake Malinak

Now we're talkin'! Is he big and slow?

Dr. John Becker

He's me! Okay?! I'm crossing the street!

Reggie

Oh, well that's easy. The bus hits you and nobody calls for help because everyone in this neighborhood knows you.
