"Forget it. Forget I ever even mentioned it. We'll just hang out, drink Pinky Fizz, eat cookies, and every once in a while, we'll go to your files, chase after some bad guy, and he'll try to kill us! I don't know what got into me. Why would I ever want to give that up?" -Mark ("When I Look Back On All the Things")
"Melinda, I went to Prison...Jail...El Slammer! I spent two years of my life - with my back against the wall - playing hall tag with guys named Crusher!" -Mark ("When I Look Back On All The Things")
Judge: "You know what your problem is?" Mark: "I live with Batman?" ("Something's Going On On This Train")
"The Hindenburg was an accident...The Titanic was an accident...You got locked in the can." -Hardcastle (to McCormick) - "Something's Going On On This Train"
"I'm just runnin' all over town, trying to get a retired Judge bail, and you're sittin' in here throwing legal clinics for gorillas? I thought you were going to be dead by now!" -Mark to Milt ("Hate the Picture...")
Judge: "Santa Claus...You know, the big fat guy with the belly and the white beard and the reindeer pulling the sled..." Mark: Yeah...with the gun-rack in the rear window of the pickup?...I know him!" Judge: "Ho Ho Ho!" ("Hate the Picture...")
"Alesha told me I wasn't good looking enough for her. What did you do in that situation? That must have happened a lot to you!" -Mark (to the Judge) "One of the Girls From Accounting"
Judge (to Mark): That was the finger bowl. Mark: I committed a fox pass. Judge: Faux pas. ("School for Scandal")

I watched "Too Rich, Too Thin" last night. I finally realized, after all these years, where I got one of my favorite quotes from. Whenever I see a strange or unusual person, or someone who is into strange and unusual things, I say "Some people are into stamps and coins". When I heard the judge utter these words, I just about fell to the floor laughing.

Hardcastle to the Mobster, Joe Cadillac, in 'Man in a Glass House': " I'm gonna sue you right down to your geriatric support socks."
And, same episode, in the lietenant's office, confession time:
McC:He couldn't pick the lock in a motel door in Iowa. I picked the lock. Hardcastle: There now doesn't that feel good? McC: No, it feels dumb.

Black Widow: And, I should really go look this up, because I'll probably get it slightly off, but the gist of it is:
HC: I don't know if you're dead, or worse. McC: What's worse than being dead?
And really, that whole scene, from the time McC pulls up in the Coyote all the way through to him delivering his exit lines about how Tina Gray couldn't possibly be a baddie, is one of my favorites in the whole series.

That'd be Rolling Thunder Part I, the scene in Hardcastle's chambers,

Okay, from The Crystal Duck:
Mark to the judge discussing the robbing of the poker game and its immediate aftermath--
"You know I don't believe you. We almost totaled the Coyote. We both could've been killed. And all you're worried about is a piece of tin foil and a lousy hand of cards . . . What'd you have?"
From there the scene goes on through a bunch of very funny riposts while McC gently clues Hardcastle into the identity of the robber, and then it concludes with Sarah saying, quite primly--
"I'd choose my friends a little more carefully, young man."
And Mark''s classic reply--" Well I didn't exactly choose him, Sarah. I mean I woke up in a jail cell one morning and he was sleeping in the next bunk."

So, if I haven't already said this a hundred times in one forum or another, that is my favorite scene (well, I suppose it's a sequence of scenes, really) anyway, my favorite scene in my very favorite episode, which obviously means that's like my favorite five minutes of the entire series. So, now no one's surprised by my avatar, right?

I think it was your avatar that put me in mind of that whole sequence. It really was one of the best stretches, every line popping off the one before it, very much establishing the relationship, very early in the series. *** Oh, dear, I just did a quick check, to refresh my memory. That was an episode written by Steven Katz (Flying Down to Rio, Killer B's, and Whistler's Pride). A further check on IMDB shows a probable match (who also wrote for 'The A Team'). It says he moved to Plano, Texas in '93, to teach writing, and that he passed away Oct. 18th, 2005.

Yeah, I like the way HC already recognizes a McC side-stepping scam when he sees one, starting with the way the kid wasn't driving flat out, and ending with pulling all the details from the reluctant ex-con. And this is sad news.

Okay, here's another sequence, from 'Hate the Picture . . ." McC, who was slightly frantic, finally finds the judge in the jail library and says:
"That's great--I'm running all over town, trying to bail out a retired judge--and you're running a legal workshop for gorillas. I thought you might have been dead by now."
H: "Sorry to disappoint you."
McC (refering to the baseball cap on Hardcastle's head): "Where'd you get this?"
H: "You gotta know the ropes around here--you've been in a while, you learn how to deal."
The writer is Erica Byrne. The role reversal is classic, and the delivery was deadpan perfect.

And, as goofy as the tag was in this ep, I've always thought McC's follow-up gift, "From one ex-con to another", was hysterical.
