Marina Lemke: It's beautiful!
Leo Lemke: It's vandalism!

Dr. Alex Tremor: Did you forget our appointment?
Eugene: I got a job now. I don't need a shrink anymore.

Eugene: I'm just a troubled kid, Doc.

Trendoid: I need veal chops. Lots of them. Now.
[Marina hands her package]
Trendoid: What's this?
Marina Lemke: Veal chops. Lots of them. Now.

[pause]
Robyn Graves: Why does everything I touch... die?
Molly: It's the gun, sweetheart.
[turns off TV set]
Molly: The *gun*!

Dr. Alex Tremor: How can I help you, Leo?
Leo Lemke: I don't need your help. I'm perfectly normal.

Marina Lemke: You know, you don't know zip about love or life, Doctor. I don't need you strewing your learning all over me.

Dr. Alex Tremor: [talking to self in mirror, shaving] You ended up skating in the park witha patient. It's class countertransferance. You allowed her to manipulate you into a vulnerable - nevermind unprofessional - situation where she controlled you. This is freshman psychology, Alex.
[cuts chin]
Dr. Alex Tremor: Oh, oh, good! Oh, good! Good! Dr. Tremor, don't blow a graet career on a cute piece of ass. You keep your dick in your pants, your id in check, and you remember we have a mission in this world.

Stella Keefover: I think I really owe this one to that psychic.
Dr. Alex Tremor: I thought we dealt with that.
Stella Keefover: Don't worry, it's not like I'm cured or anything.
Dr. Alex Tremor: Good. Well, not good...

Grace: Alex thinks I'm insane.
Robyn Graves: It's his favorite diagnosis.

Marina Lemke: I'll be the one who's gonna decide who my husband should marry!

Dr. Alex Tremor: Can't you see how dangerous you are?
Marina Lemke: You say that listening to your heart and trusting what you feel, is that what you're calling dangerous? You know what, I hope I am contagious 'cause life isn't about your damn books and theories. You know what, life is life, and it's messy, and it's complicated, andyou know what it takes guts!
[hits with pillow]
Marina Lemke: That's not something you're gonna find in any book. And you know what, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's crazy.
