Dr. Linda Abbott quotes from Everwood

Ephram

So I hear you stick people with needles. Sounds like fun.

Linda

It can be, especially when they're annoying.

Ephram

Oh, so you must really like working with my dad.

Andy

You were right, I was wrong.

Linda

It must have caused you some physical pain for you to utter that sentence.

Andy

Just some internal bleeding.

Harold

Oh, my back hurts, my feet hurt, my clothes hurt. Starting tomorrow, I'm giving up fossil fuels.

Linda

Ohh! That was some pretty strong work today, Harry.

Oh, thanks. Didn't do so bad yourself, using your hoodoo powers of suggestion to bamboozle that poor woman out of her pain.

Linda

I am way too tired to take that as anything but a compliment.

Andy

Hey.

Linda

This has to stop.

Andy

So you got the balloons?

Linda

I did, but I don't want them and I don't want the flowers either. Do you understand?

Andy

Not a big fan of presents. Got it.

Linda

No, it's not the presents. It's you Andy. I'm not interested in you. I'm sorry, I was hoping that we didn't have to have this whole conversation, but obviously we do. The thing is, ummm, I'm-I'm not attracted to you and I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but I don't want to date you and I don't parse anything romantic happening between us.

Andy

Oh.

Linda

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just, I-I didn't know how else to put it. So, it just has to stop, okay?

Andy

Sure. Okay.

Linda

That's what you do, Harold. When someone comes after you, you argue. But when someone comes after someone you love, the minute you see blood, you go for the throat.

Harold

That's what you do for family. You fight, you go too far.
