Dave

There are things in this life worth living for.

Like love?

Dave

I was talking about coffee. By the way, do you have any?

Love?

Dave

No. Coffee.

No.

Dave

Well, then what's the point? [drowns himself]

Dave

Matthew, you're not going to find any icebergs with your nose buried in that nefarious scandal sheet.

Aw, gee whiz!

Dave

Matthew! What have I told you about swearing on this vessel? I will not have it.

Darn.

Dave

Matthew!

Shucks!

Dave

Well, I never!

Dave

Joe, Jesus was not born 2000 years ago today.

Dave

Max, everyone is just a little bit weird.

I collect buttons.

Dave

That sounds like a normal hobby.

And rubber bands. I put peanut butter on absolutely everything, even steak.

Dave

I still have the sweater my mother knitted for me when I was a baby.

[Dave and Mr. James are both relaxing to the white noise machine]

So, like I was saying, a problem is what you make of it. If you think it's going to be big, guess what it's going to turn out to be?

Dave

Big.

Bam.

Dave

Boom.

Love it.

Dave

Same wavelength.

You got that right.

Dave

Amen.

Yeah. Oh, this morning, satellite of mine blew up on takeoff.

Dave

Hmm. Cost?

10 million.

Dave

Result?

Immense setback.

Dave

Milk?

Spilled.

Dave

Gonna cry over it?

Not even.

Dave

Uh uh. Right now, I'm sitting on a rather sharp tack. Have been for about an hour.

Oooh. That hurts.

Dave

Life's a bitch...

...then you die.

Dave

My...

...oh...

Dave

...my.

Joe, what did I tell you about experimenting on Matthew?

Come on, it's not like I'm testing cosmetics on him.

Dave

Sure, not anymore!

Dude... even I admitted that was wrong.

S5 E5 Flowers for Matthew
View quote →

Dave, you know I think the world of you, but you can't deal with Johnny Johnson by yourself. He eats the hearts of guys like you for breakfast.

Sir, I'm serious.

So am I. Have you ever been to a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur?

[Johnny has the green duffel bag that could send Mr. James to prison for the D.B. Cooper robbery]

Where?

Landfill in Mongolia.

Johnny, Mr. James might be going to prison. Why are we celebrating?

Care to take this one, Dave?

Dave

Mr. James, do you have any advice for the young ones?

Always use a condom, and if you're too embarrased to ask, just shoplift them. It's easy!

S5 E9 Boston
View quote →

[about Beth] This is serious, Dave. She's out there all alone, prey to all the wolves that haunt the mean streets of New York City.

Sir, Beth is one of the wolves that haunt the mean streets of New York City.
