[Speaking of Rabbi Garfinkle] How did he know to have her in Albuquerque?
He's got magical powers. It's the only explanation.

How could God do this to me?
RGRabbi Garfinkle
Excuse me? God? Your wife and your unborn child lie on the operating table, maybe dying, and you ask God how he can do this to you? You schmuck. God gave you life. God gave you a brain in your head. That's it. The beginning, the middle, the end of all God did to you. All the rest, Avi, the lying, the cheating, stealing, that's all on you, you self-involved child. What are you going to do? Spend the rest of your life trying to find someone else to blame? Or do you think that maybe it's time that you use that brain in your head that God gave you?
So how are things with Jinx?
Weird.
She drinking?
No, not as far as I can tell. She actually seems to be trying pretty hard not to.
And that's a problem because...?
Because eventually she will.
Eventually we're all gonna get sick and die. It doesn't mean you can't...
Make hay while the sun shines ?
Yeah. Less trite. Why don't you talk to the rabbi about it ?
You're my rabbi.
L'chaim.
Gesundheidt. Silly wabbi. Come on. Say it.
Kicks are for trids.
[to Stan] If you go to jail, he becomes my boss, and then I have to kill myself.
Thanks. I appreciate that.
I'm the new office administrator.
You have my deepest sympathy.
Clearly, I committed war crimes in a past life.
The comedy stylings of Dull and Duller!
[Voiceover] I once dated a man who taught quantum physics. I learned two things that night. The first being, if you ask a quantum physicist to explain how gravity works—not what it is, not how it behaves, but how it works—he will first talk himself in circles, then wind up crying, and finally, sometime between entree and dessert, call you a bitch and leave.

The second revelation came as I sat at the bar in morose solitude, pondering the cantilevered relationship between bartenders' gut and lower extremities, and this is important, so pay attention: before the big bang, before time itself, before matter, energy, velocity, there existed a single immeasurable state called yearning. This is the special force that on the day before days obliterated nothing into everything. It is the unseen strings tying planets to stars. It is the maddening want we feel from first breath to last light.
So, Brandi finally dates someone respectable, and she wants to dump him?
Respectable and rich. Let's not forget rich, that's the best part.
Respectable and rich do not the relationship make.
True.
Nice ass doesn't hurt. [everyone stares at her] Didn't mean to say that out loud, actually.
Look, before I got sober, my life was a series of self implosions. Every time I got within sight of something I really wanted, I'd throw a landmine in my own path to make sure I never achieved it. And I just think that you need someone to help you avoid your own landmines, to help you believe you deserve some of those things that you really want.
Oh and you think you are one of those things that I really want, Mr. Conceited?
Why wouldn't I be? I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm quite a catch.
Is it me, or have we just been wrong all day long?
Why are all these files stapled shut?
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. It's the Fliegler, it's so damn powerful.
She had the same problem with her gun when she first started.
[Mary has asked Brandi to get a set of plans out of the backseat of her car that are underneath a model bridge. Brandi thinks Mary is joking about the bridge until she opens Mary's trunk] I'll be damned. It's a bridge.
We build our house on these manifold truths: rough hewn and perfect, like the ashlars of Solomon's temple. He is to be condemned, but also deeply pitied. Wrong and injustice once done cannot be undone, but are eternal in their consequences. Without verity, there is no justice.
Everyone has failures in life. Ultimately all of us fail. The aqueducts of Rome will fail! Who we are, the standards by which we are measured lies in our response to those failures. My dad used to tell me you don't fail until you quit.
[voiceover] People talk too much. People think too much. We're all village idiots, enamored with our shadows, oblivious to the setting sun.
What?
MOU. Couple hundred pages. I'd really like to get out of here before the saints are with us.
Sorry, it's just that sometimes I feel like I'm in a movie, too.
Really? Let me guess: Clueless. Jerk.
Actually, I was going to say Taming of the Shrew.
