[Bob is trying to get reparations for being 1/64th Native American]
Bob : You people have no idea what it's like to be discriminated against!
Jake Malinak : Yeah, I'm a blind black man, we just SAIL through life.

Dr. John Becker : Jake, you watch the news this morning?
Jake Malinak : How many times do I have to tell you - -?
Dr. John Becker : Rhetorical question, stay with me, Jake. They're doing a story about violence in America. And while they are interviewing a bloated senator from one of our great trailer park states, instead of making guns harder to get, he blames the violence on television. What about all the violence that happened before television? I suppose the Spanish Inquisition came off a bad episode of "Gilligan's Island". Oh great, no cigarettes, the perfect cherry on this crap sundae of a morning.
Jake Malinak : Just quit, John, they're taking years off your life.
Dr. John Becker : Yeah, but those are the crusty old fart years that you spend just bitching at the world.
Jake Malinak : As opposed to this whole high-on-life Gandhi thing you've got going on now?

Dr. John Becker : Oh! College girl! Anyway, I'm supposed to snap it everytime I feel angry.
Jake Malinak : Won't that make you more angry?
Dr. John Becker : Shut up.
Regina 'Reggie' Kostas : Behavior modification works very well to help break behavioral patterns.
Dr. John Becker : Yeah, look Reg, a couple of classes at the institute of psychology and air conditioner repair doesn't qualify you to pepper me with dime-store generalities.

Jake Malinak : Wait a minute, this guy's really good-looking, isn't he?

Bob : I think we have a lot in common. I'm not wearing a bra either.
Jake Malinak : [Looks in Linda's direction] Please tell me he's talking to you.

Linda : Well, I do but not from you!
