[last lines]
Toby Hauser: Y'know, in a way it's nice to be a repentant sinner. This is the second party I've had this week.
Cathy Hauser: Toby had his one-month celebration as a member of Gamblers Anonymous. They made him a cake. He had to blow out the candles and everything.
Toby Hauser: Yeah. I had to make an oath I'd never bet again. It's corny but it's effective.
Frank Cannon: [notices flames leaping in the grill] Oops, there go those coals again!
[picks up squirt gun]
Toby Hauser: Here, let me do that.
Frank Cannon: What?
Toby Hauser: Let me try.
Frank Cannon: Eight to five you can make it.
Toby Hauser: Okay, you're on.
[realizing he's been tricked, squirts Cannon with the squirt gun]
Frank Cannon, Toby Hauser, Cathy Hauser: [laughter, roll end credits]
This is an irritating episode because the writer didn't seem to know much about addictions and the characters behaved weirdly. Considering that Cannon is a detective and ex-cop, you'd think he wouldn't just blindly assume that his client has gotten over his addiction--but he does. And, you wouldn't think that Cannon would promise that this addict would pay back loans--but he does. And, you'd think when he has a client THIS obnoxious and unwilling to help that he'd just walk away--but he doesn't. Overall, a weak episode with an entertaining ending.
By the way, this episode features quite a few familiar faces in addition to Skerrit--John Marley, Geoffrey Lewis and Paul Michael Glaser.
