Gordon
What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?
Phil
You mean aside from coming to work for you?... Well, I would have to say introducing Hank to Amy. That was pretty **** stupid. I'd like to have that one back.

It says here that 19 were committed due to disappointed expectations, Hank, they're talkin' about you.

This is where they'd keep the extreme patients. The psychotics... You know what they called Ward A? "The snake pit."... Either of you guys scared of the dark? Come on, over here.
Mary Hobbes
[Bill and Phil walk away together] [voice of Simon]
Hello... Gordon.
Phil
[calling from a distance]
Gordy? [shining flashlight] It's me, man! Come on!
Phil
You think I'm doing a bad job, Mike?
Mike
[indifferently, reading an old asylum journal]
No, you're doing fine.
Phil
This used to be a great deal. Steady gigs, joking around, beers after work...
Mike
Hey, look, it says here that eight were committed for "uncontrolled passion."
Phil
[irritably]
Then Emma came... Don't look at me like that, man. You know that's why we lost the last two gigs. He's tired, and he overbid.
Mike
[defensively]
Gordon loves being a father.
Phil
Yeah, now he does. Now he loves it. But it was never in his heart. This was all Wendy's idea.
Mike
Look, Phil. Just because you say you don't want something doesn't mean you don't want it. Six years ago, I didn't want to be a lawyer, but now I'm thinking...
Phil
Wait. Who the **** are you kidding? You shuck fiber with us, in there, okay? But that's - that's not what I am talking about. I am talking about fatherhood. It's screwing this guy's head up, and it's **** his job up. At the very least, he should've canned Hank's ass six months ago, and you know it!
Gordon
I hit Wendy.
Phil
What?
Gordon
It was Friday night. I wanted to celebrate gettin' this job. I had the flowers, I had the champagne. I went into the kitchen. She was cookin' pasta. I wanted to kiss her. She turned around and before I knew it, there was a pot of boiling water all over my leg. And I don't know if it was the dog barkin', I don't know if it was Emma cryin', but I slapped her. I hit my wife. I love my wife. It was an accident. But I slapped her for it.
Phil
He was a liability. I mean, he brought it on himself... Didn't he? I mean, it's typical. Typical Henry: The wrong place, at the wrong time.
Gordon
You did this?
Phil
Gordon! I need you to wake up, and take a really, really good look at him... You know what I wouldn't do? I wouldn't tell anybody about this, because if they find out about Hank, they're going to find out about the others.
