Dr. Katz

Ben's Toasts: "To you and Mom and what could've been." "To the pain, Dad. ... The pain I felt in the pit of my stomach every day the first few years after you and Mom split up." "To you and Mom splitting up." "To the United States Navy; they're doing a hell of a job." "To you and Mom, you gave it your best shot."

Dr. Katz: I know the way my mind works and the way that my heart works. Essentially, the heart pumps blood to the head. Ben: I don't want this talk again.

Ben: (on phone with Laura) I'm curled up in a ball in the corner of the kitchen crying.

Laura: I don't think I've ever seen you lying on the couch like that. Dr. Katz: Well, you know, I'm just uh, I'm just trying to reflect on something here and ... Laura: Does it help to do that? Dr. Katz: Well when I'm on the couch, you know, I sort of get in the same mode my patients hopefully get in. Laura: Do you want me to sit in the chair and doodle a little and pretend to care?

Dr. Katz: Laura, I need your honest opinion on something. Actually, on second thought, could you, you could sugar coat it. What do you think of this sweater? I mean, is this good? Is this a fun look for me? Laura: Well, it's fun for me.

Ben: What do you mean 'she makes her own clothes'? Is that code for something else?

(talking about Ben's plans to celebrate Katz's divorce) Dr. Katz: I'm afraid we're gonna have to push that back to another night, because I actually have a date tomorrow night. Ben: A date, like with a woman? Move over kittens, the cat-man is on the prowl.

Ben: (to Dr. Katz) I think it'll be fun, you know, we don't ... wait a minute, we do spend a lot of time together.

Dr. Katz: Do you wanna do this at home, or would you rather go out? Ben: Well I think it would be more symbolic if we do it at home. You know, sit at separate tables.

Ben: So tomorrow, I'm thinking of planning a dinner, you know, and I'm gonna start today. I'm gonna start cooking a nice stew and then I'm gonna ruin it.
