Recap
The team is having a late-night meeting about brain surgery to cure dieting. When Veronica mentions her driver died, Linda offers to give her a ride home. Veronica is confused by the concept of an offer made out of kindness, much less one done for free. As she goes, Linda admits to Lem and Phil she thought it would be a good idea to have some one-on-one time with their boss. In the lab, Ted suggests to Phil and Lem they go out for beer because Rose is with her mother. Lem explains they had plans and hastily shuts up Phil when he tries to invite Phil. Lem has a private conversation with Phil and warns that being friends with a boss can cause problems...Read the full recap
Episode Quotes
Ted: The implications for weight loss are enormous. And while elective brain surgery doesn't test that great, it still tests better than dieting and exercise.
Lem: I always thought Veronica lived here.
Phil: Me, too. You know, she just finds a comfortable chair and powers down for the night.
Phil: Me, too. You know, she just finds a comfortable chair and powers down for the night.
Phil: Besides, Ted could bring us a lot of street crud.
Lem: It's street cred. You know, "credibility"?
Phil: Oh... now that finally makes sense.
Lem: It's street cred. You know, "credibility"?
Phil: Oh... now that finally makes sense.
Veronica: Don't be silly. Let's talk. Would you like some wine?
Linda: I would like a whole bunch of wine, yes.
Linda: I would like a whole bunch of wine, yes.
Commercial: Veridian Dynamics. Bosses. Everybody has one. Without bosses, we’d be like these worms. Disgusting. Bosses make everything better. So listen to your boss. And don’t question them. Otherwise you’re no better than a worm. Veridian Dynamics. Bosses. Necessary.
Lem: Bosses and employees just shouldn't hang out. It's like a ventriloquist trying to be friends with his dummy. At the end of the day, you know who's sleeping in a suitcase.
Phil: The dummy.
Ted: All right, I was the one who pushed for us to hang out, so I should endure this. I mean suffer through... I mean support you. Because that's what friends do.
Phil: The dummy.
Ted: All right, I was the one who pushed for us to hang out, so I should endure this. I mean suffer through... I mean support you. Because that's what friends do.
Veronica: My grandfather... I never liked him. He smelled of onions and once cheated on my grandmother with Eleanor Roosevelt, who hated men but loved onions.
Gil: I declare Ted the victor, and Victor the loser.
Phil: Medieval Fight Night two nights in a row? Man, my codpiece just got tighter.
Linda: I don't know why I drink. I always either get laid or fired.
Lem: I have to start drinking. I like those odds.
Lem: I have to start drinking. I like those odds.
Veronica: I'll take you to breakfast--somewhere where the meals don't end with the word "slam."
Linda: I don't know. I've got a lot of work to do on the Doppler Project.
Veronica: You're with the boss. Relax. Besides, I can give the Doppler Project to Joe.
Linda: Really? Because I do hate the Doppler Project.
Veronica: And I hate Joe. So everybody wins.
Linda: I don't know. I've got a lot of work to do on the Doppler Project.
Veronica: You're with the boss. Relax. Besides, I can give the Doppler Project to Joe.
Linda: Really? Because I do hate the Doppler Project.
Veronica: And I hate Joe. So everybody wins.
Gil: Ted, in order to advance to Squire, there is but one knave standing in your way.
Phil: I propose a mutual surrender.
Gil: Valiant try, you giant ball of wuss.
Phil: I propose a mutual surrender.
Gil: Valiant try, you giant ball of wuss.
Veronica: I once slept with my boyfriend's therapist to find out if he was cheating with me. He wasn't.
Veronica: And then I accused Omar Sharif of being a terrorist so he'd get kicked off a plane and I could take his first-class seat.
Francis Groth: I don't think so, fellas. I'm done with Medieval Fight Club. I have a girlfriend now.
Veronica: Linda, I feel like you've been wanting to get our relationship back to the way it was.
Linda: What gave you that idea--the fact that you shrunk my cubicle into a hobbit hole?
Veronica: Now let's not get into "who shrunk whose office" or "who canceled whose dental plan."
Linda: What gave you that idea--the fact that you shrunk my cubicle into a hobbit hole?
Veronica: Now let's not get into "who shrunk whose office" or "who canceled whose dental plan."
Ted: I'm a little preoccupied. I almost killed a man in the basement.
Linda: Huh. Last week a story like that would've surprised me. So who'd you almost kill? Was it Joe? I hate that guy. He took half my cubicle.
Linda: Huh. Last week a story like that would've surprised me. So who'd you almost kill? Was it Joe? I hate that guy. He took half my cubicle.
Linda: There's a single dads club that meets on the fifth floor every week. Maybe you should check it out.
Ted: Eh, I guess I could go beat up some single dads.
Ted: Eh, I guess I could go beat up some single dads.
