Episode Quotes

Nate: [appraising David's allegedly accidental new growth of facial hair] What time's your date?
David: Who said I have a date? [Nate looks skeptical] Tonight. Dinner.
Nate: [nods, looks again] Nah, it's a little too soon. The whole "Oops, I didn't know I was sexy" stubble look will actually peak at around... noon tomorrow. Believe me, I've perfected the art. Can you make it drinks after dinner? That'll give you another couple hours.
Nate: [of his illness] Every time I get a headache, I'm thinking this could be it.
Rabbi Ari: You must be really scared.
Nate: Yeah, I'm going to die.
Rabbi Ari: Yeah, me too.
Nate: Really? What do you have?
Rabbi Ari: A body.
Brenda: [handing her mother a cactus] I got this for you. It doesn't need watering or caring about in any way.
