What was your favorite Becker Line? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tiger32 · 02-20-2007, 09:59 AM

I have so many favorite Becker lines, but I would have to say my favorite line is when Bob is leaving the Diner as Becker is coming in. Bob says "I'm going to get some poison". Becker responds "Don't give up Bob, there's always Night School".

Too many to name, but one that's fresh in my mind from the other day is when Becker is on a blind date with an airhead. They're in a restaurant, and she suggests going to a Karaoke bar after dinner. Becker said to her, in a serious tone, and I'm paraphrasing here, "You know, everytime I hear a Frank Sinatra song, I get this incredible urge to remove his voice from the song and replace it with the off-key singing of an out-of-control drunk."

The line was even funnier because when he said the part about taking Sinatra's voice out, he made a hand gesture, moving it from side to side...as if he was moving something out of the way.

Becker then paid the bill and left his date in the restaurant, and told her, "You may think I'm being a jerk now, but trust me on this. If you think I'm nasty now, you can't even imagine the way I'd be in Karaoke bar."

That was a great line Janice, I can't remember exactly what he said before he walked out on his blind date, but it something like if you think things are bad now, then you would not want to be around me for five minutes in a Karaoke bar.

Sitting at the diner once, Becker called Bob, "Short and shiny".

[Linda wants to rename the exam rooms A, B and C and put the patients in them according to the letter of their ailment]
Dr. John Becker: There are three exams rooms, that's only A, B and C. What if someone comes in with, oh, I don't know, "M" for "migraine"?
Linda: Headache, "A" for ache.
Dr. John Becker: Pregnancy?
Dr. John Becker: "B" for baby.
Dr. John Becker: X-ray?
Linda: "C" for see-through.

--------------------------------------------------------

Margaret: So someone finally shot you.
Dr. John Becker: I always thought it would be you, Margaret.
Margaret: So did I.

--------------------------------------------------------

Margaret: Jake, you've got to see this.
Jake Malinak: I'm blind.

(Paraphrasing)
Real Estate Agent: Wow Jake, you're so brave in handling your ailment.
Jake: Well, I must say it is the kindness of others that keeps me in good spirits.
(They leave as Becker enters)
Becker: Knockin' off early Jake? What is it, Ray Charles's birthday?

(During a dinner party)
Becker: Good friends, good food, good conversation . . . I'd settle for one of those right now.

Becker: Where's my credit card?!? Dammit! Margaret, when's the last time I used my credit card?
Margaret: 1982.

Linda accidentally sends Becker on a gay cruise and he returns upset.

Linda: Someday you'll look back on this and laugh.
Dr. John Becker: Maybe I will. But before then, I will kill you. And then I'll use my powers as a physician to bring you back to life. And then, I will kill you again

Linda: What kind of person would steal something from someone who got it from someone who loved someone enough to steal it for them in the first place?
Margaret: You know what scares me? I understood exactly what you just said.

Linda: I had a thought.
Margaret: Prove it.

John: "My subconscious is none of my business."

Ohio8 · 02-03-2014, 09:25 PM

Linda (to John): "When you assume you make an ass out of me."

Jason75 · 09-13-2021, 10:35 PM

Mine is where Becker was trying to call a family on the telephone but got the answering machine.

Becker says, "Will you all please shut up;I'm trying to tell these people their fathers dead".

Becker: You gotta accept it, Jake; as soon as you get involved with a woman, it's only a matter of time before you're the next contestant on "Guess Why I'm Mad".
Jake: Yeah, that's on right before "All I Do For You And This Is The Thanks I Get".

wayfarer · 09-27-2021, 01:29 AM
