Quotes 

• Al : Tina's crazy about me.

  Dr. Ruth : And you are crazy about her, aren't you?

  Al : Well, no, I... I wouldn't say that. I'd say I, I like her.

  Dr. Ruth : You just *like* her?

  Al : I like her a lot. A lot.

  Dr. Ruth : Does that mean, you love her?

  Al : Uh...

  Dr. Ruth : It may have four letters, but 'love' is not a dirty word.

• Dr. Ruth : Tell me about your girlfriend.

  Al : W-well, uh, her name is Tina.

  Dr. Ruth : M-hm. So tell me more.

  Al : More about Tina?

  Dr. Ruth : M-hm.

  Al : Ah. Well, um... Oh, well. She's got... great... casabas.

  Dr. Ruth : What are these casabas?

  Al : Well, you know. Melons.

  Dr. Ruth : Hmm?

  Al : Hoo-has? Honkers? Hooters? Headlights? Uh... tatas? Teeters? Tweeters? Tom-toms? Tetons?

  Dr. Ruth : Say it.

  Al : I'm trying to say it. Uh, meatballs. Mangoes. Cream pies. Cupcakes? Uh... bangers? Bouncers? Bulumbas?

  Dr. Ruth : Al.

  Al : Bazongas? Breasts! I said it.

  Dr. Ruth : You see? It wasn't that hard.

  [Al has told Dr. Ruth about his first wife Beth] 

  Dr. Ruth : Did you love this Beth more than you love Tina?

  Al : Yes. But it was different.

  Dr. Ruth : So you love Tina different than Beth, but you still love her?

  Al : Yes.

  Dr. Ruth : Did you hear what you just said?

  Al : I said, I love Tina different... I s- I said it!

  Dr. Ruth : Maybe I tricked you into it, but you said it. Now say it again, and drop the "different" part. That's a given.

  Al : I love Tina.

  Dr. Ruth : Now go tell her.

  Al : Okay. Gee, thanks, Doc.

  [he leaves] 

  Dr. Ruth : Next!

• Dr. Ruth : I'm sorry to say, I'm very disappointed in you, Al.

  Al : You're disappointed in me?

  Dr. Ruth : You say this is the future. I thought by now, people like you would have a healthier attitude towards sex.

  Al : I have a very healthy attitude towards sex.

  Dr. Ruth : I think you have a problem.

  Al : With all due respect, Dr. Ruth, when it comes to women, Al Calavicci doesn't have any problems.

  Dr. Ruth : I think you are afraid of something.

  Al : You're right: alimony.

• Dr. Ruth : [whenever Dr Ruth's mind merges with Sam's]  Now, we are getting somewhere.
