Dr. Leonard Miller Quotes in Serial (1980)

Dr. Leonard Miller: Well, hey, Stokely, what's happening, babe?

Stokely: Nothing.

Martha: Darling, will you excuse Leonard and I for a minute? We're going to have a private rap which doesn't concern you.

Stokely: Bullshit.

Dr. Leonard Miller: Good! That's cool, Martha. Stokely's a patient, I'm his therapist, he knows why he's here. Why don't we informally dialog about it, then Stokely and I can go inside and rap in a more structured manner.

Martha: Right. This morning I caught Stokely, not in a sense of spying, you know how I feel about violating a child's space.

Dr. Leonard Miller: I hear ya.

Martha: This morning I caught Stokely dealing with the maid as a sex object. Of course, for her own protection, I had to let her go.
