Dr. Katz: You are the youngest of six. Janeane: No. Dr. Katz: I'm sorry, let me check my... Okay, so you are the middle child, classic middle child syndrome. Janeane: No, I'm the youngest of three. Dr. Katz: My next guess. Okay, and the only female. Janeane: No. Dr. Katz: You're not making this easy on me, Janeane. Janeane: I have a sister who is three years older than me and a brother who is six years older than me. Dr. Katz: Classic... uh, stacking, every three years s-syndrome.
Dr. Katz: You're 24 years old. Relaxing, for you, could be lying down and feeling your own manhood ... Ben: Alright, I have a problem too.
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."
Julie: Are you guys gonna eat something? Dr. Katz: Stan, you wanna share something? Stanley: Yeah, you got any of that brownish-reddish meat you had yesterday? Dr. Katz: Yeah, I'll have a piece of brownish-reddish meat. Stanley: On whole wheat? Julie: Yeah, It's on whole wheat. Dr. Katz: Give us just like a study in khaki. Stanley: Earth tones. Dr. Katz: A plate of earth tones, yeah.
Janeane: (about being mugged) They stole my pride, they stole my sense of rhythm, they stole my whimsical good nature. Dr. Katz: You shouldn't leave all that stuff lying around.
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.
Dr. Katz mentions he is reading The Footbridges of Madison County, making a reference to the popular novel, The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller. The book, which was also made into a movie in 1995, follows the story of a lonely Italian war bride who has an affair with a photographer who has come to Madison County, Iowa to create a photographic essay on the covered bridges in the area.
