Being as it's set in a
World of Pun, just about everything in
Doc Rat is a funny moment. These are the
crowning moments of funny:
- At the end of their dinner date at Mondo Venezio as arranged (and paid for) by Lord Lockley, Ben frets
about not having paid for it himself. Monty even had a salve for that particular quandry planned.Daniella: Oh, Ben, love, the meal was beautiful, just heavenly. What's wrong?
Ben: It's all been paid for, even to the tip.
Daniella: So?
Ben: I'm not my own man... so, Monty's gift was everything except the dignity of spending my honestly-earned money on you, to make you happy.
Waiter: In that case, Sir, it's fortunate his lordship bids you buy yourself a nightcap...
Daniella: *
Gasp!* Guest passes...
Ben: ...to
The Midnight Ruby Club! Oh... wow!
- One of the more infamous Spit Takes involves Ben and a Goat pharmaceuticals salesman here:
Goat Salesman: Lo-Fatta is now proudly the number one seller in the statin class of cholesterol drugs. And to show our appreciation, our company is going to offer a weekend of
workshopping statin.
Ben: (
Spit Take) ..."worshipping"...?!!
Goat Salesman: (
now irate)
WORKSHOPPING!
Ben: "Sa... Sa..."
Goat Salesman: STATIN! Ben: Sorry. My bad.
Thank heaven. - For context to the Trope Image of this page...
