"First you leave me in the waiting room for two hours before I can see you... then you tell me I've got to watch my blood pressure!"

"I wish he'd slow the hell down." "I wish he'd hurry the hell up."

"Coffee?! After 20 minutes of waiting, I'm FULLY awake without one."

"Don't rush me, I've got to get it right!"

'If you shoot your foot off don't coming running to me.'

"I've got a lot of stuff, a ton of coupons, and I pay by check, so all you behind me...get comfortable!"

"My dad doesn't nag me enough about going to college."

'The fish only bite twice a day here, once before we get here and again after we leave.'
