Dr. Goodwin Quote #10
Quote from Dr. Goodwin in The Convention
Frankie: So, where's my desk?
Dr. Goodwin: You won't have a desk. That's the whole Smile Superstars international concept. Everything is modern and open. You'll just float from chair to chair with a smile tablet.
Frankie: Really? Smile tablet? I'm sorry, Dr. Goodwin. I don't get why we have to do this. I thought what we had was going great. Long lunches, going online looking at bad celebrity plastic surgeries.
Dr. Goodwin: Frankie, I know all this new stuff is scary. I was the same way with Indian food, but now bring on the saag aloo. And don't worry, Dr. Samuelson will explain the whole deal.
Frankie: Wait, wait... who?
Dr. Goodwin: Dr. Sommer Samuelson, our fearless leader. Now that we're members of Smile Superstars, we're under her umbrella. Her story is capital "a" Amazing. She came from a bad family... her parents made pottery. And now she owns the 13th largest dental chain in the country. You'll hear it at the convention in Des Moines next week.
Frankie: What? No! I can't afford to go to Des Moines. I had to siphon gas out of the lawnmower to get here.
Dr. Goodwin: That's the best part. Y'all's expenses are paid. Sorry, Frankie. If you're opening a new branch, it's kind of mandatory. Actually, they call it "fundatory."

Quote from Dr. Goodwin
Frankie: Hey, Dr. Goodwin. Um, you said all expenses were being taken care of, right?
Dr. Goodwin: Yepperoonie.
Frankie: Oh, thank god. 'Cause we just got a bill by mistake for our room service and minibar charges.
Dr. Goodwin: Oh, no, now, they never pay for that. That's why I always bring my snack sack with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Frankie: But you said all expenses paid. That's what you said.
Dr. Goodwin: No, I distinctly remember saying y'all's expenses are paid. Not all y'all's.
Frankie: No, no, no, no, that can't be. I mean, how is anybody supposed to know that "all y'all's" is plural for "y'all's"?
Dr. Goodwin: Well, all y'all's would obviously be more than y'all's. I mean...
Mike: What is he saying? Do you speak hillbilly?
Frankie: Not well, but I think this hillbilly is telling us that we owe $674.
Dr. Goodwin: Ooh, y'all ordered a lot.
Quote from Mike
Mike: Oh, man. I ordered ribs, and I didn't like them, so I ordered a steak. I was living like Caesar up here. And, Frankie, seriously? Dry cleaning?
Frankie: They folded my underwear. It made me feel special. But what about you? Shoeshine? What are you, running for congress?
Mike: I thought all expenses were paid. It seemed nuts not to do it.
Frankie: Let's just run, Mike. Let's just grab the soap and Kleenex and run.
Mike: We can't. We gave them a credit card... the good one.
Dr. Goodwin: Ooh, boy, I got to say, y'all are in quite a pickle.
Mike: [Southern accent] Are we? Are we in a pickle? Have we done and done it? Are we long-tail cats in a room full of rockers?
Frankie: Mike, calm down. That is not helping anything. Now, look, I will think of something, but in the meantime, take the robe off, Hef. That costs 60 bucks. Take the other one out of my suitcase.
Quote from Axl
Axl: Okay, we'll start with the basic categories of lies. Number one... personal tragedy. You're dying, a friend's dying, Grandma's dying. You get the picture. It's old school, but it totally works. It does, however, require a certain shady moral compass.
Sue: I could never do that to Grandma. She just sent fudge.
Axl: Well, there's the "appeal to their humanity" lie. You call up the professor and say, "I could tell you a lie, but I respect you too much."
Sue: Wait, so am I lying or not lying?
Axl: That might be a little advanced for you. There is a new category that's very promising. The "I identify with the opposite gender and have issues" lie. The only downside is you have to live the next four years as a man. It's a big commitment.
