Quotes 

• Joseph : What's going on? Whose dog is this?

  Grace : Mom's. She saved his life.

  Beth : He's not mine. I'm just gonna find him a home.

  Joseph : Why is he here?

  Beth : I just couldn't let them take him to the pound. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna call a few rescue societies tomorrow and somebody's gonna want him.

  Joseph : Yeah, but not us, right? We're not getting a dog, right?

  Grace : I think you should keep him. I'll help.

  Joseph : You're at school. She's not gonna come back every morning and walk the dog and neither am I.

  Beth : I wouldn't mind doing that.

  Joseph : Beth, I don't want a dog.

  Beth : I told you, I'm gonna find him a home.

  Joseph : Yeah, I know you.

  Beth : And what's that supposed to mean?

  Grace : That was Dr. Bhoola.

  Joseph : Who?

  Grace : The veterinarian. He's gonna stop by.

  Beth : What is he... He's coming here now?

  Grace : Yeah, he has some medicine or something. I'm gonna use your shower 'cause it's filthy in here.

  Joseph : The veterinarian makes house calls?

  Beth : He's very attractive.

• Joseph : We haven't lost a person. We lost a dog.

  Beth : Love is love. It doesn't matter if it's a dog.

• Beth : I'm not talking about Doctors, I'm talking about you.

  Joseph : Have I ever put my work before you or the girls?

  [pause] 

  Joseph : Ok, sometimes. When I'm doing surgery on someone's spine to relieve them of a life of pain, I have put my work first! The girls always understood and they never complained.

  Beth : Were we living in the same house?

• [first lines] 

  Patient : This is the best my back has felt in three years. Joseph, you're a genius.

  Joseph : That's my job. I'm a surgeon. But I'm no genius.

• Joseph : This is - this is a difficult time for you; for both of us. And especially for a woman, there are physical changes that affect everything.

  Beth : Oh, tell me about being a woman.

  Joseph : I think that the anger you're feeling is not about me. It's hormonal.

  Beth : No. It's not menopause. It actually is about you.

• Beth : Ellie called. They got your mother on her plane. And you know what Ethan asked about you? You know what he said? He's so cute. He said 'Where's pee pee?'

  [Beth and Joseph laugh] 

  Beth : Honey, what are we gonna do about the Partridge and the Plough?

  Joseph : What are we gonna do about Russell? Has Freeway been in here?

  Beth : Huh? I thought he was with you.

  Joseph : He was but he took off on me.

  Beth : What? Wait a minute. Where's the dog?

  Joseph : I told you, he took off.

  Beth : When was this?

  Joseph : 'Bout 20 minutes ago. He chased a deer and wouldn't come back.

  Beth : Did you use the whistle?

  Joseph : I whistled. I didn't have the whistle per say.

  Beth : You were on the phone, right? Hmm?

  Joseph : It was an emergency. He's probably right outside.

• Carmen : When I realized Django was my spirit-mate, the animal world became so visible to me.

  Joseph : As opposed to the vegetable and mineral worlds?

  Penny : Now, who's' Django?

  Bryan : Oh, that was Carmen's dog. He lived to be 24.

  Penny : Oh.

  Carmen : It was then that the gift blossomed in me. My third eye truly opened. What Django felt, I felt. I traveled through the world with him, seeing what he saw.

  Russell : And what did he see?

  Carmen : He saw things for what they are. He was connected to the prana.

  Joseph : Oh, the prana.

  Penny : Shut up, Joseph. You're such a tight ass. Do you have to be so one-dimensional?

  Joseph : Excuse me for living in this dimension.

• Beth : Carmen, do you see him? Is he alright?

  Joseph : Beth, are you kidding me?

  Beth : Can you see what he sees?

  Carmen : Yes.

  Russell : What do you see?

  Carmen : I see trees and the shed with construction equipment in it and mountains.

  Joseph : Wow. That really pinpoints it.

• Joseph : [on the phone]  Tell me about Bora Bora.

  Grace : Amazing. You gotta come here someday. Dad, Sam and I can't stop talking about the wedding. It was just what we hoped. And I know you didn't want Freeway in the ceremony, but you have to admit it was sweet.

• Joseph : [Last lines] 

  [answers his phone] 

  Joseph : Gracie?

  Grace : Dad. Are you guys still up on the mountains? What's going on?

  Joseph : Oh, well, we were having so much fun.

  Grace : I'm so glad you guys took a few days to unwind. We've been having the best time. I love being married. Oh and dad, how's Freeway?

  Joseph : Freeway? Freeway's fine.
