“- Dr. Mumford: Sofie, lie down. Most people do.
- Sofie Crisp: I'd better not. I'll fall right to sleep. I think it's a bit too soon for me to be sleeping with you.”“- Dr. Mumford: Skip, you know that it is improper, completely unethical for a licensed psychologist to carry on a romantic relationship with one of his patients.
- Skip Skipperton: I guess it makes sense.
- Dr. Mumford: Yes. Yes, it does.”“- Skip Skipperton: Do you know how I spend my every single solitary moment?
- Dr. Mumford: Jerking off?
- Skip Skipperton: No, that's a good guess though!”“I wish I could live in the shower. I'd take five a day if I had time. I went to this spa in Germany, a sanitarium practically, up on this mountain. The great thing: they just kept you wet, all day.”
“I may be young but, Doc, I can tell you that I'm very immature.”
“When I was in high school the thing I wanted most when I was stuck in class, the thing that I was desperately in pursuit of, was a hall pass. That's all I ever wanted. I loved moving freely around the school while everybody else was trapped in there. That's how I feel right now. Like I have some giant - all day - hall pass.”
- Jeremy Brockett: She's gone weird, is what's wrong with her. She's out of control. Probably from living out here in "Mayberry, RFD". But you're the doctor. What do you think?
- Dr. Mumford: She seems very unhappy.
- Jeremy Brockett: I think we all knew that, "professor". But the question - the real question - is: why?“I noticed something. For some reason, probably because I was too stoned to talk, everywhere I went people would talk to me. Tell me everything. Their problems, their inner most thoughts. Sometimes they needed advice, but most of the people just wanted someone to listen.”
“- Skip Skipperton: Are you telling me that your last job before becoming a psychologist was an investigator for the IRS?
- Dr. Mumford: Everybody has a story, Skip.
- Skip Skipperton: Seems like you got the variety pack.”“Are you positive your mother's a bitch?”
“Have you come across a bigger shithead than my stepfather?”
“I've had it with men. They are so fascinated by their own crap. It took me four years to get the last one out. These days my idea of a hot date is a long shower by myself before bed.”
“I want to live in the world that these people are in. No one ever says anything in there, have you noticed? They're all very cool. Like, they're all really deep. It's when people start talking that everything goes to shit.”
“In a free society you are what you say you are. If you screwed up on life, sometimes you can get another shot.”
“- Skip Skipperton: You've fallen in love with one of your patients? Doc! It's not me, is it?
- Dr. Mumford: What? No, Skip. It's not you, but I like you a lot.”“- Mrs. Crisp: What kind of doctor are you?
- Dr. Mumford: Ph.D. in psychology.
- Mrs. Crisp: Oh. Not a real doctor.
- Dr. Mumford: That's right, the fake kind.”“Do you know what I've been doing, all alone in my workshop, for almost two years? How I spend my every solitary hour? What I've been working on, what the world really needs and no one has been able to create: a virtually life-like humanoid, gender-specific, anatomically functional, sexual surrogate-slash-companion.”
