Becker · Season 4

Dr. John Becker and Mr. Garland in “Another Tricky Day”

Dr. John Becker

Mr. Garland, I understand--

Mr. Garland

No, you don't understand. When I left your office that day, I was devastated. But then I figured if I've only got a short time to live, well, I'm going to go out in style. The first thing I did was quit my job, told my boss to go straight to hell. What'd I have to lose? You told me I was dying.

Dr. John Becker

I-I understand, but that's still just a job, you know? So you burned a bridge.

Mr. Garland

No. I burned his new BMW.

Dr. John Becker

Why would you do that?

Mr. Garland

Because you told me I was dying!

Dr. John Becker

Couldn't you pay him back?

Mr. Garland

No, I can't. I spent all my money on champagne, limos and lap dances.

Dr. John Becker

All of it?

Mr. Garland

I got a lot of lap dances.

Dr. John Becker

So, you spent all your money, and you lost your job, but all those things are fixable.

Mr. Garland

No. I haven't finished yet. After that, I maxed out my credit cards, cursed out my wife, and sent a photo copy of my ass to the IRS.
