| Quotes |
Pills Davis:
I started dinner last night with some ice cream, then I had a steak, then soup... Dr. Steven Bishop: You started with ice cream and finished with soup? Pills Davis: Yeah. Dr. Steven Bishop: Just as I thought, you've got an upside down stomach. Pills Davis: Is that bad? Dr. Steven Bishop: It's not good. Because of eating backwards and taking all those vitamins you've overtaxed your vital organs. Your tissues will shrivel up like that. Pills Davis: I guess you're right Doc, all of a sudden I feel awful. See more » |
