In Buck’s Last Straw, Rick tries to help his friend out by getting him back on the right track in his life.
RICK: You could be a celebrity by now but you’re too picky. You say no to everything, everything! Yeah, I get it, some aren’t the best roles in the best stories, but how are you ever going to get the best offers if you don’t start somewhere Buck? Everybody starts somewhere but you, you want to start from the top and that’s your problem. Always been your problem. Nothing is ever good enough, talk ’bout high maintenance! They’re out there asking for you but it just doesn’t register with you, does it? Come on, if you don’t realize it soon, you’re gonna exist in some middle of the road life because you’re not taking the risks, you don’t put your ego aside and all these roles that are waiting for you are passing you by, they’re going to someone else more deserving of them because you’re above it all and one day, one day there won’t be any more opportunities and what will you do then Buck? Time is running from you. Take this western and watch all the work it’ll lead to, it’ll grow your reputation, you can feel good about yourself again and not argue so much with that crazy ass woman you have back home.

Mr. Tandum is a multi-millionaire who calls in his butler Bennett to discuss the concept of building a rocket, in order to blast himself into outer-space. This is a comedy.
Enter Bennett.
Bennett: You asked to see me, sir?
Mr. Tandum: Sit down, Bennett. Make yourself comfortable. Would you like some brandy?
Bennett: Umm…
Mr. Tandum: It’s alright. Feel at ease. Brandy?
Bennett: Sure.
Mr. Tandum: Here you are…take a sip. Enjoy and feel relaxed. I need to ask you some questions and I would like you to have as clear a mind as possible for optimal thought.
Bennett: Yes. Brandy certainly helps one get optimized for optimum thought.
Mr. Tandum: Lovely. Now, if I was to build a rocket ship, what would be the very first thing I would do?
Bennett: A rocket ship, sir? For space?
Mr. Tandum: That’s right. I want to leave Earth at once and fly into the outer reaches of space, until I hit Mars. Kur-plunk!
Bennett: I see.
Mr. Tandum: Well?
Bennett: Well, what, sir?
Mr. Tandum: What do you think is the very first thing I should do to build my rocket?
Bennett: Well, I would have to say that you would need to reach out to experts in the field?
Mr. Tandum: Right.
Bennett: But, sir…why would you want to go to Mars, if you don’t mind me asking…you apparently have everything here.
Mr. Tandum: Death.
Bennett: Death, sir?
Mr. Tandum: That is correct.
Bennett: What do you mean by…death. sir?
Mr. Tandum: You do know the definition of the word?
Bennett: Yes, sir.
Mr. Tandum: There you have it. I wish to shoot myself into orbit by way of a rocket, in order to die. A much more exciting adventure than what dear old father had done.
Bennett: But why on Earth, sir?
Mr. Tandum: Is that a pun?
Bennett: What, sir?
Mr. Tandum: A pun my dear boy, a pun. And I’m asking you about rockets!
Bennett: Right.
(pause.)
Sir?
Mr. Tandum: Mmmm
Bennett: Are you feeling…well.
Mr. Tandum: I feel spectacular.
Bennett: Right. Sir, when do you plan on having your rocket built?
Mr. Tandum: Well, first there is a level of research, is there not? And then, then there will be time for construction and finally, a launch date. Which reminds me, I will need you to be solely responsible for the launch date.
Bennett: Launch date, sir?
Mr. Tandum. Launch date. I want you to make sure all arrangements are met according to this paper right here!
(Mr. Tandum hands Bennett a piece of paper. Bennett examines the paper.)
As you will note, there is a checklist box next to each number. There are a total of seven things I wish to be done by launch date in order for launch date to go off. Please read everything over on your own time, absorb it, begin collecting and be done with it. I do believe, realistically, I will be launching myself into space within four years time.
Bennett: Four years, sir?
Mr. Tandum: Four more miserable years of this asinine existence and P**F, off to space I go to meet my alien friends. Yippy!
(Bennett stares at Mr Tandum quizzically)
Bennett: Will that be all, sir?
Mr. Tandum: All? Why yes, all for now. Get to work! Oh, one must remain hush hush about my rocket. by all means.
Bennett: By all means, sir.
Mr. Tandum: By all means.
Bennett: Yes, by all means, sir.
Mr. Tandum: By all means.
Bennett: Yes.
Mr. Tandum: Yes! Be gone!

In The Face of a Great Actress, Amber tells her husband Cody that he needs to stop spoiling their three year old child.
AMBER: Because you spoil her rotten. She has more stuffed dolls than I’ve ever seen. We could open up a toy store at this point Cody. All she needs to do is point and you buy it for her. How is that setting a good example? I am yet to see you say no to her. Instead you let me do all the dirty work. She has her fits with me when I want her to go to bed, when I want her to take a nap, when I want her to eat. She’s getting worse all on account that you give her everything. So when I tell her no, she goes head to head with me and she’s only three years old! You are building a monster and you don’t even realize it.
Learn to tell her no. Let her stew in her own mess. One day when things get rough for her and we’re not around, what is she going to do then? Who will she depend on? She needs to have backbone. She needs to depend on herself. Or else she’ll never amount to anything in this life. She’ll always be looking for the easy way out or just become some lazy, whiny person who moans about every little insignificant thing…can’t stand people like that.
Please, don’t make my daughter become anything less than what she can be. I want her strong, fierce, determined…I want her to do things on her own so she can learn to live in this world, it’ll eat her alive if she doesn’t.

PEDRO: You know, I’ve been dealing with enough s**t in my life and now I gotta think about you killing yourself one day. Like I needed this tonight, added to my long list of f’d up thoughts I have circulating on a rotating basis. I can’t even go to the bar here just for a drink to get my mind off my troubles and I got you staring me in the face telling me you’re thinking about killing yourself. That’s gonna make me feel better? I’m not saying coming to the bar is the cure for misery but I don’t expect to be brought down to the gutter and have the living s**t kicked outta me either. I already got enough scar tissue to last me a lifetime. Do me a favor, don’t talk to me about blowing your brains out and all this bulls**t cause I disagree. You’re not gonna get no sympathy vote from me either. Not gonna agree to you offing yourself cause you know, you’ve reached the pinnacle of your life or some s**t like that. There’s millions of people, maybe billions who are less fortunate than you and me and they go through life’s slings and arrows, right? What makes you so much better that you can’t face life? (beat) Know what? Do me a favor, fk off. Alright? Take your beer and go to the other side of the bar and leave me be.

In Searching for Bubble Butt, Margot tries to ease her boyfriend into understanding that he will never have the butt of his dreams.
MARGOT: Because Matthew dear, you never had an ass worth saving. The cold, hard-hitting truth is that you come from a long line of assless men, each having good height, broad shoulders, thick hands but lack of ass. There have been times, I must confess, where I have reached out for it during the middle of the night and there was absolutely nothing to hold on to. Taking it one step further, since we’re on the subject, I have reflected upon it on my lonesome and tried to figure out why such a perfect man had a singular deficiency. You truly are absolutely, perfectly proportioned in every other physical facet, but there’s that one minor, tiny detail that forbids you true Greek God status and instead humanizes you, which is good because your ego does have a tendency to climb out of the self-control box every so often and if acknowledging the fact that you don’t have a Michelangelo painted rear end of any great significance, well, then I consider that a good thing because it will keep you in check and provide for you a more humble attitude in life. I’m sorry honey, but you need to know the truth of your own anatomy. But everything else is wonderful…I’m only saying.

In Drenched to the Bone, Miles visits his ex-girlfriend because he misses her and would like to see her again.
MILES: I came over cause I wanted to look at you. Being in my mind wasn’t good enough and so I took a bus over to see you in person because it makes me feel better, makes things feel more real for me is all. The mind can be a limiting place if we allow it to be. There’s something about the physical sense that makes things feel, I don’t know, like they matter. I know I may not mean anything to you anymore and I totally get that and it’s a real, uh, I really appreciate you letting me in your apartment and allowing me to see you cause I don’t think I’d be as good to me as you are to me if I were you looking at me…am I making sense? So; I was watching you from outside, but that wasn’t enough, I wanted to hear you talk, see you behave, have you look back at me, just so I can feel something again…been hard to feel anything anymore; I’m sorry, I had to tell you the truth. I wasn’t going to knock but every time I was about to walk away my heart started to pound; and I, I, I wanted more..of you..even if it’s momentarily, this way I can keep breathing a little bit longer, at least until I can learn to breathe on my own again.
