Lucky: [narrating] You know, they say the great thing about being a kids is, it's so easy to pretend. You can have a conversation with your dog, or a baseball, or a banana. Well, what if it wasn't pretend? What if you could have a conversation? I mean, not with a baseball or a banana, that's ridiculous. But with your dog? Prologue Dog: I mean, we don't have the same concept of time that, uh--that for instance, people do, because, uh, you have watches and clocks. But we do know that you go away, and it's not like we don't know that you're gone. So, we don't know exactly how long, no. Young John: Why do dogs sniff each other's butts? Prologue Dog: Well, this is kinda our way of shaking hands. If you really wanna get a sense of who somebody really is, you gotta sniff their butt. Archer: Son! Stop talking to the dog. She doesn't understand a word that you're saying. Lucky: [narrating] At first his dad thought, "Hey, it's just harmless kid stuff," but as time went on, John crossed that fine

Oh, look, she's got a giant egg. John: Good morning, Charisse. Charisse: My name isn't Charisse. I have changed my name to Paprika. John: Paprika? Paprika Dolittle. That has a nice ring to it. Charisse: Not Dolittle, just Paprika. John: Well, I don't understand it. What is that about? What's Paprika about? Lisa: You know, salt and pepper? Paprika? John: Oh, oh, Okay. Paprika. I get it.

Mark: Johnny. John, Gene has got some qualms about the new proposal. I'd like you to talk to him about it. John: No room for qualms, Gene. Mark: No room for qualms. John: No qualms. Gene: No, there's just one or two-- John: Qualms are bad. Mark: No, qualms are bad. Listen to Johnny. Qualms are bad. Gene: I have qualms I'd like to discuss. You know what it is?

Hey, Nutmeg, let's go! You better wipe that look off your face. Yeah, that's a little better. Your daughter's turning into a little wise-a**. Lisa: She's turning into a little you. You know, there's more to this HMO deal than money. You sell, they own you. John: Lisa, this is gonna will be good for us. Watch. Lisa: I am so tired of that rap. It's always for us, John, but sometimes I don't know who us is. John: What do you mean, you don't know who us is? Us is us. Me and you and Maya and Charisse, Lisa. Lisa, the more money you have, the more time you can spend with your family. That's the way it boils down. That's true.

Probably grab your naps curled up in the break room on that little cot back there. Little occasional nooky with one of the interns in the closet of something. Well, I have a real life, okay? And I'd appreciate it if you only call me down here when it was a real emergency. If one of my patients comes in here carrying his own head, call me. Somebody comes in with a bicycle up their a**, call me. You understand? Intern: Yeah, I understand. So, you
