一天晚上，露西和亨利一起过夜。早晨醒来，健忘的露西发现一男子睡在自己旁边，大为吃惊，她使出全身功夫把亨利狠狠揍了一顿。

Lucy's brother: I may not be able to kick your ass, but my sister can.

Henry: Thanks, buddy.

Doctor: Little Sammy Sosa's a bit shook up, but she'll be okay. She's watching the tape as we speak.

Henry: How's my temporal lobe looking there, doc?

Doctor: Don't worry. You're not gonna suffer any short-term memory loss. But was your head shaped like an egg before she hit you?

Lucy's brother: Don't make fun of Henry. It's not his fault it's shaped like that.

Doctor: Note the intense overreaction. That's the "roids" talking. Doug, once again, off the juice.

Lucy's brother: It 's not juice. It's a protein shake.

Doctor: Henry, the boys tell me you're setting sail for Alaska to study walruses. When does that adventure begin?

Henry: That actually began...ten years ago. That's when I started planning and building my boat.

Doctor: All I know is, out of all mammals, they have the second-largest penis. I have the first.

Henry: That's my joke.

Lucy's brother: Did you tell Lucy about this trip?

Henry: Well...actually, there's nothing to tell because I decided not to go. I mean, Lucy needs me here. I'm just worried about going away for a year...and ruining all the progress she's made. I know you think I' m crazy...but I think deep down inside...she's starting to remember me.

Doctor: No, Henry. That's what you want to believe. It's what we all want to believe. But it's never gonna happen.

Henry: Okay. I gotta go to work. Will you tell her I' II be back later to pick her up? See you, guys. Don't tell anyone your sister beat me up.

Lucy's dad: He could go to the moon and back and Lucy would never even know he left.

Doctor: Sometimes I wish my wife had Goldfield Syndrome. That way she wouldn't remember when I called her mother...a loud, obnoxious drunk with a face like J. Edgar Hoover's ass.
