Now for the more important topic ------- "The Gilmore Girls"! And you two are still together? Hah. That's what I said the first time she told me that horror story. I think this just goes to show she is a much more forgiving person than I.

I think this just goes to show she is a much more forgiving person than I. Well, I sucked it up and got on with my life. And it definitely helped that you guys took control of the 'pre-release' copy distribution not too long after ;-)

Okay, another bit, this one's from 'School For Scandal' and I lifted it from the script complete with stage notes, 'cause I like them, too--
*** (at the party) H: This was a mistake, I knew it. You're gonna embarrass me, aren't yah?
M: Okay, twenty-five bucks says you make a donkey out of yourself before I do.
The waiter arrives with the tray and McCormick pauses over the huge selection as if he were contemplating a chess move. (LOL)
H: Just take one, McCormick. You don't have to handle them all. Fifty and you're on. ***
I love it, he's never too mortified to not take the side bet.
The writer was Tom Blomquist, who also penned Scared Stiff and The Day the Music Died

And you know, I don't much like the party scene, because McC comes across as a clod, but the next bit is good, too (again, with original stage directions):
*** M: Hey, Judge, what's eating you? I was just kidding around
H: I'm just trying to get ued to the idea of Judge Richards retiring.
M: Oh, I thought your cumberbund was too tight . . . Joke, ya know, ha, ha . . .
H: Around the courthouse we all used to call Judge Richards 'junior'.
M: Well, look at it this way, you're at an age where you can call everybody 'junior'.
Hardcastle shoots McCormick a hard, almost hurt look.
M: Okay, okay, that was the last one. I promise. Really . . . I just get nervous when I'm out of my element. It makes me regress.
H: Me too. ***
That's a helluva lot of insight to give Hardcastle, the last two words in particular. And McC, who just can't stop kidding around, and then apologizes for it.
And, hey, this show is set in the middle of the first season--four months into their partnership, and the guy who didn't want to be buddies, is dragging his yardman/sidekick to an old colleague's retirement party . . . what gives? (Besides the need to have McC present when the robbery is discovered, and a wonderful opportunity for give-and-take before that) Could it be that H wants McC along for some weird combination of moral support and entertainment value?

Oh, no, see -- he wants to expose McCormick to some real sophisticated, polished society. In a pig's eye! Hardcastle just didn't feel comfortable going by himself to that kinda shindig, so he dragged the kid along. And we all know how McCormick handles being unsure of himself, don't we? I'm still leaning toward the idea that the kid was enjoying making fun of all the stuffed shirts as well as using the lip as a defense mechanism. The after-dinner toast just clinches it. He _had_ to know he wasn't suppose to get up and speechify.

Ah, well, any excuse to watch an ep.

Ah, well, any excuse to watch an ep. You might be right about that. Once again, I need to do a line-by-line comparison. The scripts are aften quite different from the filmed version. I could definitely see the producers tossing that line. Likewise McCormick quoting Dylan Thomas. Too bad, those were both character-revealing bits. Amazing what can be done with one line of dialogue.

Without looking, I think the judge responds with a muttered, "Yeah, well . . ." or something of that ilk. Maybe just a grimace. Isn't our language wonderful? I love words like "ilk" and "grimace". But back on topic, it would've been not only revealing for Hardcastle to have said "Me, too"; it would also have been a bond between them, a shared insecurity which would bring them together a bit more in those early days. I think McCormick would've been a little less aggressively punko if he knew the judge was sharing his nervousness.

'Aggressively punko', by golly, you hit that nail right on the head.

That's from "Undercover McCormick" and the cop is now the Police Commisioner -- on the other hand, it could be a quote from pretty near every episode!
