I love his description of the salad. Back in 1980, shortly before I went into the military my father had a ladyfriend (that's what we called her) who worked as a waitress. She was always making salads for us. We called them Backyard salads because she would put EVERYthing in them. Bean sprouts, alfalfa, eggs, bacon, ham, croutons, cheese. the usual greens, onions, tomatoes, and so on. Ironically that became how I discovered I liked my salads.
haha I never understood people proclaiming that they don’t like salads. there are no rules for making them! Throw some pork belly in there! A rubix-cube chunk of cheddar! Who cares?! Then the day comes that you learn that you actually do like arugula on its own and that you don’t have to eat like a maniac lol
Most moderate Republicans and Democrsts would vote for Bartlett because he has integrity, compassion and can lead. Something that is sorely lacking in most politicians.
In a series full of best scenes, this might be the best scene. “What the hell kind of sentence is this?!?” “Some have cheese, this isn’t that kind.” “You could cover this thing in BBQ sauce and it would still taste like the ground.” Packed with quotable lines…
I’ve watched all seasons twice over the years, but for some reason couldn’t recall this. My bad, because this scene is brilliant. Can’t put my finger on it - the timing, the natural give and take, the just suppressed then openly ribbing? Wish I could figure out how this alchemy happens, but I’ll just enjoy it in the meantime.
Yeah, it's a bowl of weeds, which is why when I have to have a chef salad, I load it up with cheese, ham or tuna, pasta salad and dressing. I get criticized for adding cheese; I say bite me, I'm eating a salad, next time I'll get pastrami and corned beef with Russian dressing on marbled rye and an egg cream.
That's why I don't eat salads. To make a salad edible you have to put enough dressing, cheese, bacon bits, etc. on it that it defeats the purpose of eating a salad in the first place.
No, it’s not deleted. It’s actually crucial to the rest of the episode (at least the part about the book) because it gets Matthew Perry’s character started on the investigation that leads to Hoynes’ downfall.
A black guy wants to watch TENNIS? A BLACK guy wants to watch TENNIS? This isn't even Serena or Venus. It would only be less believable if he were watching synchronized swimming.
