Quotes
-
Sally Solomon : This is all your fault. I didn't want to be the woman. You made me be the woman.
Dr. Dick Solomon : You're a decorated veteran. I thought you could handle it.
Sally Solomon : Well, I can't. This is hard.
-
Sally Solomon : You just can't imagine what it feels like Dick. It's like he reached in and pulled all of the bones out of my body.
[Sally starts to cry and Dick starts moving away from her]
Dr. Dick Solomon : My God! What are you doing?
Sally Solomon : Apparently I'm leaking.
-
Sally Solomon : Damn it Dick. Give me some pain I can define!
Dr. Dick Solomon : I will not jam your hand in the toaster again.
-
Dr. Dick Solomon : Well, one of us has to experience sex and I am getting nowhere with her.
[Dick points towards Mary]
Sally Solomon : Well, why didn't you say so? I mean if sex is so important, you and I can do it right here on the desk and get it out of the way.
-
Dr. Dick Solomon : [reading the Bible] Why are you listening to the serpent? Don't eat the fruit! Don't eat the fruit!

Dr. Dick Solomon : So, lieutenant, give us a full report on your assignment.
Sally Solomon : He was wonderful. He thinks I'm wonderful. He asked me where I've been all his life.
Dr. Dick Solomon : You didn't tell him.
Sally Solomon : All the coordinates. Thank goodness he didn't believe me so I didn't have to kill him.

Dr. Dick Solomon : [looking at Coach Strickland] You're the one who didn't want him sitting with the girls, right? I think he's just jealous because I've done so much better than he has.
Teacher #1 : Dr. Solomon, no one ever said being a father is easy.
Dr. Dick Solomon : You're telling me. I mean, some of you must have children.
[turns towards Coach Strickland]
Dr. Dick Solomon : As frightening as that thought is. What do you do?
Mr. Kersey : You need to set a good example for your son to live up to.
Dr. Dick Solomon : Since when did my son become my responsibility? I mean, you're the ones who are falling down on the job. You're supposed to be educating him. Knowledge is the only chance this planet has for survival. One day, you're gonna have to find someone to pull your collective butts out of the cosmic pliers and all you'll have to choose from is a bunch of rope climbers!
Teacher #1 : Dr. Solomon, I think you're avoiding the real problem. The home environment.
Dr. Dick Solomon : Well, of course I'm avoiding it! It's full of crazy people!

Sally Solomon : Tell me Dick, what kind of shampoo do you use?
Dr. Dick Solomon : I don't know.
Sally Solomon : Exactly. And do you feel the urge to have an 8 pound, screaming larva rip its way out of your lower abdomen?
Dr. Dick Solomon : No, I think I can do without that.
Sally Solomon : Y'see? Here, you and I are completely different life forms and it's just some sick cosmic joke that we have to share a planet.
