Colin Stinton: Dr. Buck Bukowski

Quotes 

• Dr. Buck Bukowski : Susan, all I've ever wanted to do is to help regular folks like you navigate life's fault lines. Like I say in the book: "Why be down and wear a frown..."

  Susan Harper : "... when all the while you can wear a smile?"

  Ben Harper : Oh, God! If only Gandhi had thought of that!

• Dr. Buck Bukowski : Ben?

  Ben Harper : Yes?

  Dr. Buck Bukowski : I love you, man!

  Ben Harper : Gotta go!

  Dr. Buck Bukowski : Oh, emotion frightens you, doesn't it?

  Ben Harper : Not as half as much as you do at the moment!

• Dr. Buck Bukowski : [to Ben]  My philosophy is 'calmness through kindness'. And if that makes me foolish in your mind, then I'm a fool! Sorry, gotta take this.

  Dr. Buck Bukowski : [On the phone to his lawyer]  Hello? Yeah, just a sec.

  [Angrily] 

  Dr. Buck Bukowski : Listen, numbnuts, you're the third lawyer my wife has had and I'm going to tell you what I told the other two schmucks: I would rather take my money and shove it up a dead donkey's tush than give her another dime!

  Dr. Buck Bukowski : [Hangs up, then talks to Ben calmly]  Now, where were we, Ben?
