No, no, no, no, no. No, no.
You have potential, George.

- lt was a bad joke, l know.
You know, you ruined my chance
of romance today...
with that obscene stunt
in the window.
- lt was an outrage.
lt was a disgrace.
- lt was a criminal act.
Okay, there was a beautiful girl
who walked right away from me.
lt was so embarrassing.
George, you talkin' about
the woman with the chairs?
Yeah.
Man, they are not
all that comfortable.
Well, l think they're perfect.
You gotta learn how to sit in 'em.
Ah, here you go.
On the house, everybody.

There's no smoking section
in heaven.
Ah, don't start, Doc.
