Quotes 

• Ruth-Anne Miller : Here's your lingerie magazine. I was just leafing through it.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Thanks.

  Ruth-Anne Miller : Oh, wait a minute. Uh, you're using that for onanistic purposes, huh?

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : What? What kind of purposes?

  Ruth-Anne Miller : Auto-erotic.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Me? No Not at all. Absolutely not! I was just going to order my mom a robe.

  [flustered] 

  Ruth-Anne Miller : I think you need something a little more exciting.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Exciting?

  Ruth-Anne Miller : Here's a Playboy. Eli Nute died a month before his subscription expired.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Oh no. Really?

  [trying not to look interested in the Playboy] 

  Ruth-Anne Miller : Women of Norway.

  [reading the caption] 

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : Yeah well, I mean a lot of exceptional writers contribute to Playboy. There's Philip Roth, uh, Norman Mailer, the late Roald Dahl. An interview with Shintaro Ishihara?

  Ruth-Anne Miller : Don't worry Dr. Fleishmann, its that time of year. Everybody's libido has run amok.

  Dr. Joel Fleischman : They rate the top ten single malt scotches! Now I, uh, wanna read this!

  Ruth-Anne Miller : I think I've got something for you a little racier in the back room.
