Quotes 

• Fitzy : Karen's brought it to my attention that you've been telling blond jokes in the workplace.

  [Davis stares back] 

  Fitzy : Did you tell the one about the blond and the ice cream cone?

  Karen Pelly : Fitzy!

  Fitzy : Well, if I'm gonna send him to a sensitivity course I have to know what it's for!

  Davis Quinton : Sensitivity course? It was just a couple of blond jokes!

  Fitzy : I know, but once someone registers a formal complaint then I have to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

  Karen Pelly : [sarcastically]  Thanks for your support, Fitzy.

  Fitzy : You bet!

  Karen Pelly : [to Davis]  Enjoy your sensitivity course! Oh, and bring me back something warm and fuzzy.

• Lacey Burrows : Hey guys, can I take your order?

  Davis Quinton : Well first of all, Officer Pelly is not a "guy". She's what I like to call, a human being. Secondly, taking an order... Sounds rather aggressive. Can we call it something like... a request or... a gentle reminder?

  Karen Pelly : Oh my God.

  Lacey Burrows : All right. Here's a gentle reminder, if you don't order something, you have to leave.

  Karen Pelly : We'll just get two coffees to go. Black.

  Davis Quinton : African-American.

• [Davis and Karen are at the Ruby again, after Davis' sensitivity training is complete] 

  Oscar Leroy : [entering]  Davis!

  Davis Quinton : Oh hello, respected elder!

  Oscar Leroy : ...That's a good one! I got some new jokes for you. Why did the two blondes cross the road?

  Davis Quinton : To get to the university to complete their PhDs?

  Oscar Leroy : What the hell happened to him?

  Karen Pelly : He's just... sensitive to other people's needs now.

  Oscar Leroy : Well, what about my needs? To make fun of people!

• [first lines] 

  [Davis, Karen, and Oscar are sitting at a booth in the Ruby] 

  Oscar Leroy : Hey, I got a new joke for you. Why did the blonde tie a magnet to her fishing line?

  Davis Quinton : I don't know, why?

  Oscar Leroy : She was trying to catch steel-head trout!

  Davis Quinton : [laughs]  Good one. Why can't blondes make ice cubes?

  Oscar Leroy : I don't know. Why?

  Davis Quinton : 'Cause they keep forgetting the recipe!

  [Davis and Oscar laugh, Karen stares at them] 

  Davis Quinton : [to Karen]  You don't seem to be enjoying the jokes.

  Karen Pelly : Maybe it's because I'm blonde?

  Oscar Leroy : Right... She doesn't get them!

  Karen Pelly : Here's one. Why did the blonde cop stiff her partner for the lunch bill?

  Davis Quinton : I don't know, why?

  [Karen gets up and leaves without saying another word] 

  Oscar Leroy : That wasn't a very funny joke.

  Davis Quinton : Still, not bad for a blonde.

• Davis Quinton : Sorry I'm late, I was helping a mentally challenged person get out of his truck.

  Karen Pelly : Hank?

  Davis Quinton : I prefer the term "mentally challenged".

• [when Davis' sensitivity training works too well, Oscar and Karen come up with a plan to "desensinate" him. The three of them are in the police station, Davis is hooked up to a polygraph test] 

  Oscar Leroy : Okay, I'm gonna ask you some questions. Why did the blonde stare at the frozen orange juice? It said "concentrate"! Heh, heh... You find that funny?

  Davis Quinton : No.

  Oscar Leroy : How can you tell if a blonde has been using your computer? Heh, heh, heh... There's white-out on the screen! You find that funny?

  Davis Quinton : No.

  Karen Pelly : That's because they're not funny, they're stupid jokes!

  Oscar Leroy : Here, you do this one.

  Karen Pelly : [reading]  How do you keep a blonde busy for hours? Turn over.

  Karen Pelly : [she turns the paper over]  How do you keep a blonde busy for hours? Turn over... . How do you keep a blonde busy... Okay, I don't get this!

  [Davis snorts] 

  Oscar Leroy : He snorted! Do you find that funny?

  Davis Quinton : No!

  [the polygraph tests responds to his answer] 

  Oscar Leroy : [to Karen]  Here, read him another one!

  Karen Pelly : What do you see if you look into a blonde's eyes? The back of her head.

  [Davis laughs] 

  Oscar Leroy : We got him! The old Davis is back!

  Karen Pelly : I still don't get the turn over joke, are we missing a page?

  [Oscar and Davis laugh at her once again]
