   Not sure if it's an exact quote but:   
      
   Doc:  Oh!   
      
   Blonde gal:  What is it, Doctor?   
      
   Doc:  I just pissed myself.  Not much.  Just a squirt.

   I think he'd had other treatments done to him over the years as well.

   I think it became obvious as soon as he mentioned the guy who'd shared   
   his lab an we found out who the guy was.   
      
   I thought that too about the cop and the son, but I didn't expect the   
   way the boyfriend was written out.

   I was wondering if she'd been given something else to come down from   
   whatever state she was in when she was talking to her boyfriend's mind.
