Episode Quotes |
| |
Charlie: I didn't know women could have heart attacks, you know? It's crazy.
| Dee: I just had a heart attack! Can we focus on me for two minutes here?
Charlie: I feel like we did talk about you.
Mac: Dee, your ship has sailed, OK? It's time to move on to us, the people who are going to live on.
| Charlie: Since when do you pay to stay in a hospital?
Doctor: Since always.
Charlie: Uh, no, I believe that is what taxes are for.
Mac: Yeah, you don't pay a fireman to put out a fire.
Charlie: Or a cop to shoot a guy.
Dennis: How do you not know how this works? You've been in a hospital before.
Charlie: I—I guess I must have slipped through the cracks. I do always give a fake name 'cause I like to stay off the grid. You know what I mean?
Mac: Yeah, they usually just give me a bunch of antibiotics, the sores go away, and I walk out.
| Mac: OK, OK, here we go. (reading a newspaper ad) "Position available; major sales corporation; motivated individuals; good interpersonal skills."
Charlie: You don't have to say any more, dude. That's us. That is us.
| Dennis: I don't wanna get too bulky.
Dee: Right.
Dennis: I wanna stay nice and lean and tight. I wanna get that Jesus on the cross look. You know what I mean?
Dee: I see what you're saying. I think that crucifixion must have been really good for your core because...
Dennis: Oh, absolutely. Jesus had, like, the best abs. He had the right idea. Hey, he knew: no pain, no gain.
Dee: He had good messages.
Dennis: I'm sure he started that.
| Dennis: Let's get some new outfits. That's a great idea. You decided to rock jeans, for instance. I'm confused by that.
Dee: Yeah, uh, I chose jeans. I'm not seeing a lot of other jeans, so, um...
Dennis: I've never seen jeans in a gym.
| HR Director: (to Mac and Charlie) Well, gentlemen, I've never seen two people share a resume before.
Mac: Well, we thought we'd save paper. You know, go green.
| Spin Class Instructor: Before we begin today, uh, are there any physical ailments that I should know about first?
Dee: (raises hand) Uh, yeah, I just had a heart attack.
| Spin Class Instructor: First of all, I don't think you should even be here if you just had a heart attack, ma'am.
Dee: Well, maybe you shouldn't dress like a bumblebee, bitch.
| Dennis: Spin class. Come on, a bunch of hamsters on a wheel.
Dee: Yeah, I'm gonna ride a bike hard, I'm gonna ride a bike fast, and, oh, yeah, I'm not gonna go anywhere.
Dennis: Yeah, and then when I walk out, I'm gonna put a bunch of metal onto a metal bar and lift that metal over and over like a metal jerk.
| Dee: I feel good, too, apart from the recent bouts of explosive diarrhea.
Dennis: Oh, you've been having diarrhea?
Dee: Oh, God, all over the place.
| Dennis: I, on the other hand, have not taken a shit in days.
Dee: Days?
Dennis: Days.
Dee: That doesn't sound good.
Dennis: Oh, no, it's good! My body's working at 100% efficiency, yeah. My body is absorbing every single nutrient, and it's not wasting a single thing.
Dee: Your body's taking its job very seriously.
| Charlie: (to Mac about the mail) All right, this is Felix's pile. He receives for Eric. He receives for Janet. Don't ever look Janet in the eye because she's a horrible devil woman.
| Mac: What's your system here, bro?
Charlie: Oh, it's pretty complicated. The mail goes into three sections according to how important I think the thing looks, OK? Now, the least important stuff, I'm gonna burn that. If it's important, they're gonna send it again, right? The middle important stuff, I put that back in the mail addressed to me, so I buy myself a couple more days. And the most important stuff, that gets delivered, although, you know something, Mac? I actually burn that, too, most of the time.
| Dennis: Uh, now, you're clear on these instructions, right?
Dee: Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Dennis: Yeah? You know what—you know what you're doing? They're in Spanish.
Dee: Uh, yeah, but you know, if you know Latin, you know, like, three languages, so...
Dennis: Oh. As far as I know, you don't speak Latin.
Dee: I don't speak Latin, but there's pictures in here, so I think we're good.
| Charlie: Mac, half the employees in this building are made up. This office is a goddamn ghost town.
Mac: OK, Charlie. I'm gonna have to stop you right there. Not only do all of these people exist, but they have been asking for their mail on a daily basis. It's all they're talking about up there!
| Charlie: Well, calm down, 'cause here's one thing that's not gonna happen.
Mac: What?
Charlie: We're not gonna get fired.
Mac: We're not?
Charlie: 'Cause we've already been fired.
Mac: We've lost our jobs?
Charlie: Yeah. About three days ago, a couple pink slips came in the mail—one for you, one for me—so what did I do? I mailed them halfway to Siberia!

Cultural References |
| |
Charlie: (referring to Frank) Uh, Cheech over here bought himself a bong.
This is a reference to actor and comedian Cheech Marin who starred in many films with his comedy partner Tommy Chong. The two were well-known for their frequent use of drugs.
| Mac: I'm gonna hang out in his office and pretend I'm the new guy.
Charlie: Uh, I don't think that's gonna work, dude.
Mac: Uh, have you seen The Secret of My Success?
Charlie: Uh, they're gonna catch on to you.
Mac: Uh, yeah, but before they do, I will come up with an idea that will save the company millions, and they'll be forced to promote me.
Charlie: Uh, are you sure? How's that movie end, dude?
Mac: Uh... I can't remember. Oh, yeah, he bangs that old lady, and then they play that song from the '80s. Uh, "Day Bow Bow."
Charlie: What the hell is "Day Bow Bow"?
The Secret of My Success is a 1987 comedy starring Michael J. Fox as Brantley Foster, a recent college graduate who lands a job working in the mail room of his uncle's company. Brantley soon learns that the business is making financial blunders, so he creates an alternate identity as an executive to save the company. Although Brantley's secret was discovered by the end of the movie, things did work out positively for him.
The song Mac and Charlie are referring to is "Oh Yeah" by Yello. The "old lady" is actually Brantley's not-related-by-blood Aunt Vera.
| Plot Point: Frank in the mental hospital
This is a parody of the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, starring Jack Nicholson as Randle McMurphy, a criminal who is transferred to a mental institution. McMurphy ends up forming friendships with the patients, including an over-sized Native American nicknamed Chief. The nurse that takes care of Frank is very similar to Nurse Ratched in the film. At the end of the movie, Chief follows through with McMurphy's plan for escape by picking up a large control panel and hurling it through the window.
Danny DeVito (Frank) also had a role in this movie as the card-playing Martini.
