September 26, 1990... I had my dream again last night. Being a seventeen-year-old doctor is a monster. But the dream taught me that the monster can't hurt me as long as we keep dancing. Feets don't fail me now.

S2 E2Guess Who's Coming to Doogie's

S2 E3Ask Dr. Doogie
October 10, 1990... "Doctor Doogie" died. Candace is going to live. Good trade -- his death for her life.

S2 E6Doogie Sings the Blues
October 30, 1990... I guess being a good doctor is like playing the blues... sometimes you just have to improvise.
We get a lot of homeless people claiming to be other people. Last week a guy came in claiming to be Abraham Lincoln.
You're kiddin'.
Seriously. He tried to emancipate Raymond three times.
S2 E7Academia Nuts
November 6, 1990... Getting away with a lie may be a good magic trick... but honesty works wonders. Vinnie and I started out in opposite directions and ended up at the same place: the truth.
S2 E8Revenge of the Teenage Dead
Uh, Vinnie is making a slasher movie.
It's not just a slasher movie. It's a statement about life, about angst-ridden teens, and their struggle to overcome parental oppression. Picture Rebel Without a Cause meets Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
GGregory
I'm sorry. I'm not familiar with your references. I've always considered going to the movies a waste of time.

S2 E11Oh Very Young
You know, Doog, the entire history of our great country could be deduced by studying women's underwear.
This ought to be worth listening to. Go.
Take ancient times—the '50s. Our country was very uptight. Women wore utilitarian brassieres: plain white cotton, three hooks. We're talking monster bras.
That's insightful.
But then came the '60s. Things loosened up. The youth movement kicked in. Burn the bra! Let it all hang out. The beauty of the natural woman fully visible under a diaphanous tie-dyed garment.
Right on. Right on.
But then came the '70s. Nixon was President. Watergate. America was depressed. Women went back to covering their breasts.
It was a black era, Vinnie.
But this is a great country, Doog. We were down but not out. The '80s came along, and as a nation, we rallied. American womanhood stood tall, took off their blouses and said, "I'm proud! I'm free! I'm gonna wear my underwear on the outside! [begins singing America the Beautiful]
December 3, 1990... Dr. Reardon believes that good judgement comes with age. The minute he refused to work with me, he proved himself wrong.
