- Jerri Blank: Can't you just drill a hole in his head to let the demons out?
- Dr. Trepanning: Jerri, that practice is obsolete. These days, we subdue the demons with drugs until they become addicted. Then we draw them out with meat.
- Dr. Trepanning: Well, Jerri, it's been a tough night, but we finally subdued him. I tell you, your son Stew sure can take a blow to the head.
- Jerri Blank: Well technically, he's not my son. He's my stepmother's lover.
- Dr. Trepanning: Oh, good, then you can sign these release forms.
- Jerri Blank: How's he doing?
- Dr. Trepanning: Well, aside from the insanity, he's as healthy as a horse that's been beaten unconscious by a gang of savage orderlies.
- Jerri Blank: Dr. Trepanning, can you get all the crazy out of my daddy?
- Dr. Trepanning: I can't make any promises, Jerri, but I promise I will. I'll use every tool at my disposal: medication, drugs, *and* pills.
- Jerri Blank: Well how long will it take?
- Dr. Trepanning: What is it, Wednesday? Thirty years.
- Jerri Blank: What? I need him by this afternoon!
- Dr. Trepanning: Jerri, the brain is a delicate and highly complicated organ. I know, I've taken a few of them apart and every time I put them back together, there's always a few extra parts laying around.
- Jerri Blank: Why can't you just drill a hole in his skull to let the demons out?
- Dr. Trepanning: [chuckles] Jerri, drilling a hole in the skull to let the demons out is a pretty archaic treatment of mental illness. Today, we sedate the demons until they become addicted, and then we coax them out with a piece of meat. It takes years.
- Geoffrey Jellineck: Oh, your probably talking about your step-mother's lover. I hear he is psycho.
- Jerri Blank: WHAT? That's nothing but an ugly vicious truth.
