Dr. Norma Hoeffering: I'd rather not discuss it.
Phil Donahue: Oh come on now, doctor, isn't this the kind of ivory tower, arm chair analysis you sociologists are always handing us? Now surely you can tell us a little about your personal experience with men.
Dr. Norma Hoeffering: My personal experience simply is not relevant to the topic, I'm a clinical psychologists, this is my field of expertise, I'm willing to enlighten you on the subject of why women stay in degrading relationships but I will not discuss my personal life.

Excellent tribute

The Best of Phil Hartman is a great tribute to one of SNL's best alumni. His greatest stuff from his years on the show is here, including but not limited to Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer, Bill Clinton and Frank Sinatra. Phil Hartman was without a doubt one of the most talented and funny of the SNL cast. This is an excellent tribute to him.
