J.J.: Have you spoken to him yet, Mike? J.J.: Um...no. Not yet. J.J.: Why not? Mike: He's been terribly busy, J.J. Zonker: C'mon, Mike, spit it out, what's on your mind? Mike: Zonker, J.J. and I have had a long talk.... Zonker: And she's turned you against me. Mike: Against you? Zonker, J.J. loves you. She's just not sure she wants to live with you for the rest of her life. Zonker: Well, she won't have to Mike. In a few weeks, I'll be packing up and leaving Walden for good! Mike: You...what? What do you mean? Zonker: I've applied to medical school and I have every reason to believe I'll be accepted. Mike: Uh-huh. What medical school is this, Zonk? Zonker; The Baby Doc college of physicians if you must know, in Port Au-Prince. It's not that old, but it's very reputable. Honey: It's the kitchen staff again, sir. They want the cadavers out of the freezer. Duke: No way, we need those stiffs for mid-terms.
It’s amazing how, against all odds, Duke manages to wriggle away from consequences and restart everything again and again. Last time we saw him he was being busted for a big coke purchase attempt.
