Quotes from Nocturnal Omissions
Jake: Is this apple pie you made with crackers instead of real apples?
Reggie: It's meatloaf.
Bob: It looks like tuna salad.
Jake: But it tastes like apple pie.
Bob: Hmm, meat that looks like fish but tastes like dessert.
Jake: Y'know, Reg, you're gettin' better. Last week you made pudding that looked like meat but tasted like fish.
Becker: It's temporarily out of order.
Jake: John, my eyes are temporarily out of order. Your TV is dead.
Reggie: Yeah, Becker, why don't you just get a new TV? I read in the paper that Tech Town is having a cheap bastards sale.
Becker: Remind me if I'm ever on life support not to have you in charge of pulling the plug.
Reggie: Like I could get to the front of that line.
Margaret: I take it by your sunny disposition and the eight-piece set of luggage under your eyes that you didn't sleep again last night.
Becker: Whatever is in my subconscious is none of my business.
Margaret: John, you look awful. This is crazy. You can't function without sleep.
Becker: Oh, please, Margaret, when I was in medical school I used to go without sleep for weeks at a time, no problem.
Margaret: And twenty years ago I could dance all night in a halter top and hot pants. Things change.
Becker: Margaret, I'm fine.
Margaret: You are not fine. Let me cancel your patients. Go home and get some sleep.
Becker: No, no, no, don't cancel the sleep. I'll get some patients soon.
Jake's answering machine: Hi, this is Jake. Look out the window, then look in the mirror. If it's dark outside and you're John Becker, do me a favor, go to hell.
Becker: Rude, but you gotta admire the effort.
Salesman: So, are you here to buy a TV this time or are you just gonna take another peek into the future?
