Dr. Buddy Rydell: Now then we need to go over some ground rules. You are to refrain from any any acts of violence including verbal assault and vulgar hand gestures. You may not use rage enhancing substances, such as caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, crack cocaine, slippy-flippy's, jelly stingers, trick sticks, bing bangs or flying willards.
Dave Buznik: How about fiddle-faddles?
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Under my supervision. Also, if you are unable to stop masturbating, please do so without the use of any pornographic images depicting quote, unquote 'angry sex.' That having been said, I'm a pretty good guy and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised how much fun we can have together.
Dave Buznik: Geez, without slippy-flippies or angry masturbating I don't see how that's possible.
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin, Dave. From now on, unacceptable.

Dr. Buddy Rydell: Alright, I'm going to need for you to retard your anger level a few notches and listen to me, can you do that?

Dr. Buddy Rydell: You kicked some serious monk-ass there, baby!
-
Lou: So my boss, he was talking to me about how many sick days I've taken. And I was like, you know 'Don't go there,' you know. But he kept on about wanting to see some kind of a doctor's note or something. And I said 'Look, I'm seriously serious. You *don't* want to go there. He kept talking and talking and being such a nag, and I just *blacked out.* I blacked out. And I woke up, and I was standing over him and I was screaming "I told you not to go there! I told you not to go there!"
-
Lou: Eskimos seem nice.
-
Dr. Buddy Rydell: She said she was going out with a friend named Andrea.

Bobby Knight: Anger? Isn't this sexaholics anonymous?
Dave Buznik: Oh. No I think that's down the hall.
Bobby Knight: [throws his book down] Well to HELL WITH THIS! I'm going home!
-
Chuck: I think Eskimos are smug.
-
Dave Buznik: I'm sorry I was so rude before... but... it's difficult for me... to... express myself... when I am on the verge of... exploding in my pants.
Kendra: You are too cute.
Dave Buznik: Get the fuck out of here.
-
Dr. Buddy Rydell: I want you to approach Miss Thing again...
Dave Buznik: No!
Dr. Buddy Rydell: ...with confidence! And if she says no this time, I will admit that I am a failure as a therapist and I will release you from my program.
Dave Buznik: You'll release me from your program
[Buddy nods]
Dave Buznik: Okay...
Dr. Buddy Rydell: [They stand up] Just go over there and repeat the following verbatim. "I'm sorry I was so rude before but it's difficult for me to express myself when I am on the verge of exploding in my pants."
Dave Buznik: Huh?
[They sit down]
Dave Buznik: Get outta here.
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Trust me Dave. If you were calm as well as witty, she will respond.
Dave Buznik: I think witty went out the window with that whole pants-explosion thing.

Dave Buznik: Oh, yeah?

-
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Jibber jabber jibber jabbering, mumbo jumbo, denial, key-key-key-key-key-key!
-
Buddy: Take off your clothes, I have a relaxing technique I want to show you, it will be good for you.
David: You wanna see me naked Buddy?
Buddy: Are you a homophobe Dave?
David: No, I'm a pulling-out-my-penis-in-front-of-you-aphobe.
-
Dave Buznik: [about to be shot by angry man] Let me just ask you one question.

Gina: And we're lovers.
Stacy: Yeah. One day, Gina was having sex with this Filipino guy Milo which was totally cool cause it was in the script.
Gina: And then I asked Milo back to the house with us, which is cool cause we like a little variety...
Stacy: So in the middle of our session, I look up and I see Gina kissing Milo on the mouth which is totally NOT cool because it violates our threesome code of ethics!
Gina: So Stacy bit my toe off.
Stacy: Then Milo freaks out and calls me a crazy skank...
Gina: And nobody talks to my bitch that way.
Stacy: That's right.
Gina: So I stapled his lip shut.
Stacy: And here we are.
Dave Buznik: Well, we've all been there.

Dr. Buddy Rydell: Nate, didn't we decide that you shouldn't listen to the ballgame?
Nate: Don't worry, Doctor B. It's just a regular season game. Not that important. See, Iverson just missed a layup at the buzzer, Sixers lose. Who gives a crap, huh? I mean it's just a silly game anyways.
[his face scrunches up]
Nate: Ooooohhhh the anger sharks are swimming in my head! YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT! YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT SHIT!

Dr. Buddy Rydell: Let me explain something to you, Dave. There are two kinds of angry people in this world: explosive and implosive. Explosive is the kind of individual you see screaming at the cashier for not taking their coupons. Implosive is the cashier who remains quiet day after day and finally shoots everyone in the store. You're the cashier.
Dave Buznik: No, no, no. I'm the guy hiding in the frozen food section dialling 911. I swear.
-
Chuck: After I got back, I went through a rough time. Drinkin' booze, shootin' holes in the ceilin', screamin' myself to sleep... Finally, my parents said I had to move out.
Dave Buznik: So I'm guessing that's when you decided to shack up with your aunt.
Chuck: Don't get cute, wise ass... But, yes.
-
Blind Man: Happy now, asswipe?
-

Dr. Buddy Rydell: Dave said, "How does a guy who weighs over six hundred pounds have the balls to teach people about self-discipline?"

Dave Buznik: Well, I'm an executive assistant for a major pet products company.
Dr. Buddy Rydell: [interupts him] Dave, I don't want you to tell us what you do. I want you to tell us who you are.
Dave Buznik: Oh, alright, um... I'm a pretty good guy. I like playing tennis on occasion.
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Also, not your hobbies Dave. Just tell us who you are.
Dave Buznik: [stumped] Maybe you could give me an example of what a good answer would be? Um...
[to Lou]
Dave Buznik: What did you say?
[the group laughs]
Dr. Buddy Rydell: You want Lou to tell you who you are?
Dave Buznik: No, I just, uh... I'm a nice, easy going man, I might be a little indecisive at times...
Dr. Buddy Rydell: Dave, you're describing your personality. I just want to know... who you are.
Dave Buznik: [snaps] I don't know what the hell you want me to say!
[the room falls silent]

Dave Buznik: Kendra, even though I'd love to see you take that bra off because it represents a team I've hated my entire life, you gotta keep it on.
Kendra: Why?
Dave Buznik: Because I've got a girlfriend.
Kendra: [she becomes angry] I'm not a child Dave. If you think I'm a porker, then just come right out and say it.
Dave Buznik: No no no, I don't think you're a porker.
Kendra: Well then why when the idea of sleeping with me comes up, you all of a sudden have "a girlfriend."
Dave Buznik: Because I do, I do. I do have a girlfriend.
Kendra: Said the liar to the beached whale!
Dave Buznik: You're not a beached whale! If anything, you could even afford to gain a few pounds.
Kendra: Oh, so now I'm too skinny for you?
Dave Buznik: No, no, no, no I didn't mean that.
Kendra: Is this what you want, Dave?
[stuffs her face with brownies]
Kendra: If I put on a few pounds, would you be able to stifle your vomit long enough to have sex with me?
Dave Buznik: Holy shit.
-

Nancy: Not after I'm through with them.

Dr. Buddy Rydell: First it was a 5-second kiss, and then a little break because my beard gave her a tickle. She's cute, and then a 10-second frenchie.

[cut to the TV showing three topless men in a sauna]
-
Dave Buznik: Let me ask you guys something. Because of your profession, you probably have seen a lot of them. Does size count at all, or is that just some weird thing guys think about?
Stacy: Alright you see this is where Gina and I always get into a heated debate. I like them when they're really big.
Gina: And I think it's better when they're enormous.
