Dr. John Becker: My car broke down, so I had to take the bus. Have you done that lately? It's like being in an ethanol-powered Fellini film. The first thing I see is some woman breastfeeding her son- her ADULT son. Behind them is someone in this lovely Chanel evening gown who's either an unattractive man or really unattractive woman.

Dr. John Becker: So, how are you feeling?
Patient: Good. But that's the problem. I read this article about people who can't feel pain, and I've been feeling fine lately. So, that got me thinking: what if I'm one of those people? I mean, I could be in excruciating pain right now and not even know it.
Dr. John Becker: Walter, that condition's called hyposensitivity, and I seriously doubt if you have it.

Dr. John Becker: So, where's the problem?
Patient: See this thing on the back of my neck? It's like this all over. Between my breasts, my thighs. Do you want me take my clothes off?

Linda: Yeah, well he's not the only one that's happened to. I sent the film for my vacation to the lab and they totally lost it.
Dr. John Becker: Different lab, Linda!
Linda: All's I'm saying the guy's got the rest of his life to look forward to. I spent a week in Bermuda and have no idea what I did.
