Not to distract attention from your main point, but those of us who are
big fans of the show need (not merely want) to know: which episode?
Where in the episode was this bit of dialog?
You know that big fans have every episode on DVD, so we can go right to
it (and you also know that there are more of us than you think).
Metta,
Ivan
