{{TB|Dr. Hibbert, I’m doing a Black History report on the black person I look up to most.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, and Octavia Butler have all passed away, so can I interview you?}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Absolutely. It’s an honor to be fourth on such a short list.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Embarrassed}}
{{TB|You weren’t fourth, and it was a very long list.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Could you tell me about how you became a doctor?}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|Sure! It almost didn’t happen. I was dangerously close to flunking out of medical school.}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|My grades were perfect, but I kept laughing at inappropriate times, like the skinny fellow in that Joker movie. I forget the name of the character he played.}}

{{TB|The year was 1975. Or 1995. Depending on what season this is, and how old I am as a character.}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon|Confused}}
{{TB|Huh?}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Happy}}
{{TB|I had a proud, round, well-moisturized Afro. Which was either current or retro at the time.}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|And so did this beautiful woman who walked into my life.}}

{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|An angel that fell from heaven, dislocated her shoulder, and now needs me to reset it?}}
{{Tapped Out Bernice Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|Close. I’m here to hand you these documents.}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Documents?}}
{{Tapped Out Bernice Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|Julius Hibbert, consider yourself a mildly successful urban dance battle movie, because You Got Served!}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|Served? Wait, who are you? And what year is this exactly?! The movie You Got Served won’t come out until 2004!}}

{{TB|So I went to drown my sorrows at Moe’s Tavern, which was a hit with all the med students back then.}}

{{TB|You got served? By, like, a waitress in a sit down restaurant? {{*}}sigh{{*}} Maybe that’ll be me one day.}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No, you borderline hobo. I’m getting sued! {{*}}sigh{{*}} I’m not even licensed to practice medicine yet. This could ruin me!}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon|Sneaky}}
{{TB|You want my dangerously unqualified opinion?}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|Not when you preface it like that.}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon|Hopeful}}
{{TB|You gotta win this woman’s heart. If you charm her, then maybe she can convince her client not to sue you.}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|Hmm. That’s just crazy…}}
{{Tapped Out Moe Icon|Pleased}}
{{TB|…enough to work?}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon|Annoyed}}
{{TB|No, I had completed my sentence. But perhaps some unseen dialogue will convince me.}}

{{TB|Both!}}
{{Tapped Out Dr. Hibbert Icon}}
{{TB|Understood. You wouldn’t happen to sell flowers here too, would you?}}
