Episode Quotes

Naomi: He would have been forty... today.
Dr. John Becker: Who? Who would have been forty?
Naomi: My son.

Naomi: It's funny. He got to work early that morning and called me just to chat about... dinner that weekend, the trip he was planning, the weather. It was such a beautiful September day. He said he could see practically all of Manhattan from his office. He loved that view. Then he had to go to a meeting. Didn't even say goodbye, just said he'd call me later. I did the dishes, I made coffee... and then I... just happened to turn on the TV. Ever since, I've thought of all things I would have said if I'd... known... I'd never talk to him again.
Dr. John Becker: I'm so sorry.
Naomi: [starts to cry] I've been telling myself to come down here ever since... since it happened. Now I've finally made it and... I can't go up there. I'm afraid to look and... and see... all that emptiness...
Linda: You know why we have so many young male patients? Because I have the ass of a 16 year old boy, which for some reason guys like.
Dickie: Regular coffee will be fine.
Donna: In a clean cup.
Chris Connor: Oh, in a clean cup. I'll see what I can do. [aside to Jake at counter] What a bitch!
Jake Malinak: [walks from counter toward couple] Hi folks. I'm Jake. I run the newsstand here.
Dickie: Do you here that, honey? He's blind, and he runs his own business.
Donna: It's a newsstand, not Microsoft.
Jake Malinak: [aside to Chris at counter] Not just a bitch-a patronizing bitch!
