- Quotes
Lois Whelan: [to Ray] Let's be honest. You're so uncomfortable around me. You never say more than two words. And it seems like whenever we are together, you'll do just about anything to get away from me. I mean, ugh, what am I supposed to think? You-you don't like me, you don't like my ideas. I just wish it were different between us.
Featured review
One of the best
An excellent episode, great script, lots of really funny jokes and all of the cast is at their best. Ray is great here, whether he is trying to get out of doing anything, or being completely clueless in a fancy cafe. Debra being "surprised" was also great, and Frank's reaction to her is priceless. I find it really odd that a genuinely funny episode like this one has such a low rating, while other, much weaker episodes, that have no jokes and rely solely on characters being outrageous and annoying to the maximum, get rated highly. This episode has everything that is great about ELR - great dialogue, funny jokes, and characters being flawed in a funny way without being over the top.
