History YMMV / Mom

-->'''Bonnie:''' ''ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!'' You are a lying SON OF A BITCH! You shouldn't even be aloud to practise in this country! ''[storms out of the clinic]'' "Menopause" my ass!!

-->'''Christy:''' ''(Thinking)'' Alright, here we go. Quiet the mind. Yepper-dee-doo. Why did I say that? That's not a quiet mind. Okay, here we go. Oh! Can't forget that eye appointment on Thursday. Grr, stop it! ''(beat)'' [[Music/MenAtWork I come from a land down under!]] Where the Hell did that come from?

In theory, Christy could have just stayed Steve's apprentice for seven years and she would have qualified to take the exam. Then again, she might have plans to leave the state, in which case the degree will come in handy.

On Patrick's part, it's also a little creepy that he's interested in someone literally introduced to him as his future sister-in-law's daughter.
