Ben thinks Katz is drinking too much, which of course he is not. As usual, Ben goes way overboard, mentioning a TV program he plans to watch: "The Drinky Guy Who's Drunk All the Time, and His Name is My Dad" ("Drinky the Drunk Guy" is Katz's suggestion for a similar program). Ben calls Laura to check on his dad, and she tells him not to let his own hypochondria extend to his father. He attempts an intervention, guided by a pamphlet called "Why is Daddy Actin'Funny?" but it's a bad time for Katz, who is busy reading "The Foot Bridges of Madison County." So Ben vows to try the intervention at a more convenient time.

This episode's patients are Ray Romano, and Janeane Garofalo.moreless

      • Ben: "Well, I'm not gonna beat around the bush; I'm not gonna mince words. I am here for a very specific reason, and that is..." Dr. Katz: "Wait a second, let me guess: did I forget your allowance?" Ben: "No, no, no, it's not that, Dad. It's actually more serious than that. Um, this is an intervention, Dad. I mean, I don't wanna make any bones about it. I'm here to tell you..." Dr. Katz: "Can we do this later?" Ben: "Sure." Dr. Katz: "'Cause, I'm in the middle, I'm almost done with this chapter."

      • Ben (About Dr. Katz): "He seems to be drinking a little bit more than usual, you know, the booze, you know, liquor." Laura: "Ben, don't let your hypochondria extend to your father." Ben: "It's not hypochondria, is it: liquor? That's alcoholism." Laura: "Well, if you think that you're an alcoholic and you're not, that's hypochondria." Ben: "I thought that was denial." Laura: "No, denial is when you are an alcoholic and you don't think you are." Ben: "Okay, so what's hypochondria again?" Laura: "It's when you don't have it, but you think you do. You don't have it, you think you do; your father has it even less, and you think he does." Ben: "God, I could use a drink."

      • Ben: I was thinking I was gonna watch T.V. You know, there's a special on a really drunk guy who drinks a lot. You should watch that. Dr. Katz: What's that called? Ben: It's called 'Drinky Guy Who's Drunk All The Time'. Dr. Katz: Drinky the drunk guy? Ben: Yeah, whose name is 'My Dad'.

      • Ben: You're doing alright, Dad. How about a glass of water or a cup of coffee and uh and then you can call it quits for the day, huh, and start drinking early tomorrow.
