Tim Daly: Joe Montgomery Hackett
Quotes
-
Joe Montgomery Hackett : [Brian is dressed in pajamas in the office. Joe kids him] What are you doing up at this time of night? Did you have another accident?
Brian Michael Hackett : I needed pajamas. I wanted to see if they would fit. I can't very well walk around Alex's parents' house in my underwear, can I?
Joe Montgomery Hackett : [mockingly] No, that would look silly. Unlike a grown man with little kitties on his jammies.
Brian Michael Hackett : It's Christmas. The pickings were really slim. It was either these or, these with feet.
Joe Montgomery Hackett : Those are definitely you.

Helen Chapel : [Helen approaches Joe and his sickly Christmas tree] Change of plans, Joe. Rudolph the red-nosed nutcase wants the tree downstairs.
Joe Montgomery Hackett : [choked up] I don't think it's well enough to make the trip.
Helen Chapel : Wow, what happened to it? It looked so good yesterday.
Joe Montgomery Hackett : I don't know. It took a turn for the worse during the night.
Helen Chapel : Guess we should get a new tree.
Joe Montgomery Hackett : No. No, it'll be fine.
Helen Chapel : Joe, I think it's time.
Joe Montgomery Hackett : Time for what?
Helen Chapel : To pull the plug.
Joe Montgomery Hackett : ...Yeah, you're right. It's probably for the best.
Roy Biggins : [Joe unplugs the Christmas tree lights. They hang their heads solemnly] You did the right thing, Hackett. If it had lived, it would have been a total vegetable. I'll go notify its next of kindling.
