Quotes 

• Dr. Hugo Pine : I can drink any amount of alcohol I like and it doesn't bother me a bit.

  James Gannon : Well it doesn't bither me a bot either!

• James Gannon : Morning. Hangover?

  Dr. Hugo Pine : Calling what I have a 'hangover' is like referring to the Johnstown flood as a slight drizzle.

• Dr. Hugo Pine : To me, journalism is, ah, like a hangover. You can read about it for years, but until you've actually experienced it, you have no conception of what it's really like.

• Dr. Hugo Pine : You're confusing education with schooling. Education is the acquisition of knowledge. If you care to look it up, you'll find that the definition of knowledge is "knowing, familiarity gained by experience." You'll also find that wisdom is defined as "the possession of experience and knowledge." Now, being experienced, you therefore have education, you have knowledge, and you have wisdom. You're brilliant... and you make a good martini.

• Dr. Hugo Pine : Experience is the jockey. Education is the horse.

• Dr. Hugo Pine : Nonsense. First she'll go through the typical feminine reaction of indignation, then indifference, then indigestion, then insomnia. Then she'll accept your apologies retroactively.

• James Gannon : I may look like a scholar on the outside but inside I'm still an idiot.

  Dr. Hugo Pine : No!

  James Gannon : An experienced idiot, but I'm still an idiot.
