Quotes 

• Ben Harper : And then my grandfather decided to expand the family business and move on from ties and handkerchiefs into gentleman's knick-knacks. Oh, yeah, yeah! Hairbrushes were a very big item at the time! Mr Winslow?

  [Mr Winslow snores] 

  Mr. Winslow : Mr Winslow?

  Dental Assistant : Wow! That gas works really fast!

  Ben Harper : I haven't given him any yet! Evidently, I've bored him to death!

• Dental Assistant : Are you a religious man, Mr Harper?

  Ben Harper : In what sense?

  Dental Assistant : Well, do you believe in God? A higher power?

  Ben Harper : I have faith... that someone, somewhere is... is punishing me and it may as well be God.

  Dental Assistant : And I believe we're all special in God's eyes. He smiles down upon us all.

  Ben Harper : In my case, he seems to be laughing, doesn't he?
