A booty call?! / Well, I'm not crazy about the term, but...

7.36.8
S3E10

But, I volunteer to work here. / Because it's your job.

7.27.0
S3E10

Dot, you won't need the Swiffer. / I guess I'll be dancing with Ted.

7.07.0
S3E10

Although I did think that there would be more of them. / Yeah, well there used to be, but... you know.

6.56.5
S3E10

Does Dot have arthritis? Because it looks like she's giving me the finger. / Well, she has arthritis, but not in that hand.

S3E12

Like when your parents kiss their friends... on the mouth. Yes. Like kissing your parents.

7.27.2
S3E12

Back to work-o.

6.65.7
S3E12

Actually I was talking about you passing your exams.

6.86.3
S3E12

You picked up a stick. No, it's a pencil shaped like a twig.

7.16.8
S3E12

I hate it when they don't put price tags on things.

6.86.3
S3E12

I think maybe we should just avoid kisses for a while. Even adult ones.

S3E13

6.35.8
S4E01

I have a date tonight.

7.37.0
S4E01

7.07.0
S4E01

Um, I liked the guy with the glasses. Me too. Um, or the guy with cystic acne. Either or.

7.26.8
S4E04

Just joking, you've got Ted's voicemail. Don't you hate it when people do that? Me too, and yet I just did it.

7.26.7
S4E05

Yes, definitely not a War Vet. Damn these fallen arches.

7.06.5
S4E05

I know that David is looking for exclusivity on your products. / Ooh, she is good.

7.67.2
S4E07

I'm also glad I did. It's good to see you. It's also good to see you.

7.06.5
S4E11

it's kinda hard to guarantee fun.

6.86.2
S4E11

That's actually a he, and I think he might already be spoken for?

6.15.2

Yeah, I was just giving them a little pup talk.

6.66.2
S4E11

Oh, I just assumed that's how you always work.

7.26.7
S4E11

Um, but maybe I could take a puppy home for the night. You know I can't let you do that. Yeah, no. That's no problem.

6.86.8

You know how many off-road dirt bike tours I had to take, just to get her outta my head? Shockingly, never been on a dirt bike. Um... But I'm sure like a lot-a lot... A lot of tours, David

S4E12

That's a dog treat? Looks like a real treat. What am I gonna do now?

6.36.0
S4E13

I'm gonna take that as a compliment, even though everything inside me's telling me that it's not.

7.27.2
S4E13

6.45.8

What if I missed chest and back day?

7.06.8
S4E13

6.46.3
S4E13

6.56.3
S5E02

Like... that empty book that you gave me.

6.86.3
S5E02

Now, this appears to be a photo of Twyla? / Yes... I put that there. Because Twyla is an important friend. / And Twyla's mom? / Is her important friend.

7.37.2
S5E02

I was actually only one stamp away from a free sub, so.

7.67.5
S5E04

Old Shan out there. / Okay, first of all Alexis, she's not old, we went to vet school together.

6.76.0
S5E04

Yeah, it's funny because I actually am a doctor. / So am I... / No, you're not. Just-just Ted.

7.16.5
S5E04

Okay, let's remember this is still a place of work.

6.96.3
S5E04

fal-awful saying this over text

7.06.0
S5E04

I really... fal-awful saying this over text

7.36.8
S5E04

'Cool!' Exclamation mark. / And it looks like you ended up walking her dog for her? / Well, she seemed really upset.

7.46.8
S5E05

Snip, snip, Mr. Mullens!

6.35.7
S5E05

So I polished them off, and... it tasted like burnt plastic, and I regretted it instantly.

6.76.0
S5E05

Babe, did you rig this? / Maybe I did, and maybe I did!

6.55.8
S5E05

Man, come here, big guy!

6.67.0
S5E05

That was fun. / Yes / That was really fun. Did you have fun? / Yes, Ted. / Did everyone had fun? / Yes, Ted.

6.97.0
S5E05

You kissed my brother tonight, I'm not kissing you after you kissed my brother. / Pffft! Who kissed your brother?

6.96.3
S5E05

But first just give your brother a kiss. / Ew, Ted, Ew!

6.16.0
S5E07

maybe we can start telling some stories about someone else who was naked and crying?

6.66.0
S5E07

she's just going after whatever she wants, no holds barred! - Oh, well hopefully, some holds barred.

6.56.0
S5E07

maybe I should start calling you 'Uncle Johnny,' then, huh?

6.56.3
S5E10

But I didn't pay for that. / I know, I got it at the flea market.

6.55.8
S5E10

seems that the strap has fallen off of your shoulder. I'd offer to put it back for you, but as a delivery guy, I don't know if it's my place.

7.06.8
S5E10

my... grandmother passed this morning. / Ew! Oh my God, Ted! / Sorry, I wasn't prepared for an improv.

7.17.2
S5E10

You pulled some new tricks out. / New to you.

7.37.3
S5E10

the door was unlocked the entire time! / They would've gotten quite the show!

6.36.2
S5E10

A few years ago. And it just been real tough to get over.

6.76.3
S5E12

We just need to figure out where. / And what page is that? / Well, we both agree that we wanna get away, and we both agree that we're gonna land on somewhere so good

6.56.0
S5E12

[Awkward silence as Ted realizes Alexis hasn't understood his Galapagos hint at all]

7.37.3
S5E12

You mean, other than wanting to study some of the rarest and most diverse forms of plant and animal life on the planet?

7.06.7
S5E12

You know, Emmett, the tortoise is 180-years-old, So I'm sure he'll still be around in another few years

7.47.0
S5E12

once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity

7.17.0
S5E12

Yes, Ted Mullens, I will go to the Cayman Islands with you. / Uh, you mean the Galapagos?

7.37.3
S5E12

Yes! Let's celebrate! / Uh, no, no, no, I meant like, vaccinations

7.88.0
S5E13

Those are actually an insane safety hazard. If they catch fire, you're basically trapped in a burning cage, so. But, totally.

7.67.3
S5E13

what you're describing is missing someone, and it is a totally normal feeling.

6.86.2
S6E03

we discovered a new breed of fly that mates with itself. Yummm! Mm.

6.86.7
S6E03

Ted! Stop making me jealous of turtles. Tortoises, but I do have tur-tell you

5.55.3
S6E03

Oh my God, David! Knock much?! / Hi, David! / Hi. Is he dressed?

6.46.3
S6E03

You and Alexis were about to engage in cyber-sex. / Hi, Ted. / Hi, Mr. Rose.

7.27.0
S6E03

And you're wearing the little tie with your short-sleeved shirt. My little Galapo-guy. / Yeah, it's actually really hot here, so the bottom half is just my bathing suit and flip-flops.

7.16.5
S6E03

Ted! More about your bottom half, please! / Twyla's not standing right behind you, is she? / Hi, Ted.

6.76.3
S6E03

In fact, they actually named the new fly 'Alexis.' / The fly that mates with itself?

7.47.5
S6E06

It was a real 'Fyre Fest.' (Chuckles)

5.65.0
S6E06

Well, I put some screens on the windows. I wouldn't really call it a renovation

6.75.8
S6E06

the screens that I installed are actually attracting more bugs somehow

7.16.5
S6E06

the ants are back and, uh, I think what we're about to do probably wouldn't end very well if a fire ant was involved

6.86.0
S6E08

Hi, uh sorry there were limited options at the airport gift shop. 'Have a great flight', so sweet.

6.35.3
S6E08

Yeah, yeah, no need to milk it.

5.54.8
S6E08

I'd rather not walk in on her and her zumba instructor, don't wanna have to zoom back here.

6.05.3
S6E08

I think that you are the most beautiful girl this town's ever seen.

6.56.3
S6E08

Actually, those flies are an invaluable piece of the puzzle in the study of evolution, but... yes we do have our fingers crossed that there are still a few more out there.

6.76.0
