I'm sorry no I mean damn it you're great

aha I know it I'm right wait a minute

what are you trying to pull

oh no no I am right right mr. Conroy I

have to apologize for your last visit I

haven't been very focused lately you say

I've I've lost my passion for dentistry

but not today you'll be fine okay we're

just gonna replace this temporary crown

and you'll be out of here in no time

great okay dr. Gerber we have to talk

right now oh not again tuna can't this

wait no it's very important and I'm

sorry if it upset you but I have to say

what I have to say you know what nice to

meet you both but I've decided I don't

need a crown I'm gonna live with a bad

tooth I'll just two on the right and

with that so ends my dental career all

right Judy what is it don't told me

about you closing down the practice and

opening up the restaurant in it a great

idea do you have any idea what it takes

to run a successful restaurant you can

lose a lot of money no no bad ideas lose

money mine is a great idea oh no judy

judy i feel very passionate about this

well i guess if you're passionate about

it oh yeah it's a brilliant idea you

know how some restaurant should go and

you pick out your own lobster well my

restaurant is the same idea except with

duck okay that is it you are out of your

mind first you have an affair with your

office then you leave your wife and

you dump your dog at my house and now

you're passionate about the idea that

Chicago needs a restaurant where you can

get dressed up and go k*ll a duck well

they wouldn't be k*lling it themselves

Judy are you even hearing yourself

you're in the middle of a huge midlife

crisis and there's no reason to drag me

or poor little ducks into it now get on

the phone call your wife Becker

forgiveness and stop talking about

closing down the office but what if it

doesn't make me happy and buy a sports

car draw ponytail like every other

dentist your age

what kind of sports car anytime you want

but if you're gonna grow the ponytail

I'd go with convertible maybe you're

right you know I hate to admit it but I

really do miss Beverly I bet she misses

you too think so thank you Judy and you

know what I'm glad this happened because

now I I don't think of you was just an

employee I think of you as a friend

that's very sweet you're a good friend

and I'm so sorry I've been so crazy

lately it's just it's so overwhelming

but looking at us the separation and the

move and my mother hurt her back Oh

terrible yeah she slipped a disc because

she lives alone that's the last thing

you need well if there's anything I can

do bill observer gerber bill

hold your horses I'm going as fast as I

can boy you really can't get enough of

this liverwurst Kenya there you go

[Laughter]
