Don: “What’s in it?”
Dr Feelgood: “It’s proprietary, but all you need to know is it’s a complex vitamin superdose. It’s basically my own combination of B vitamins and a mild stimulant. You have a heart condition?
Don: “No I thought you said it was mild. What does it do?”

Dr Feelgood: “Don’t worry about it”
Ken: “It’s my job…
It’s my job. To take them to dinner at 80 miles per hour.
It’s my job. To stop a mile from the restaurant so they can have 5 pounds of crabs legs and three bottles of beer a piece, and then go get prime rib.
It’s my job. To go hunting so they can fire off their guns an inch from my ear and laugh when I get startled because…
It’s my job.”
