The Gods Must Be Crazy

Claire drags out the cold, wet blanket she usually keeps in the pit of her soul, and drops it right on Trevor's head. "I'm sorry, that might be romantic, but it's not love...." She tries to compromise on the term "infatuation" with Trevor, so he accuses her of teaching people to reach for the copper ring. Heh. She wants people to be smart.

Couldn't they have found a more current reference, like say, "Hosting The Bachelor"? Claire pretends to indulge Trevor's Cupid claims, and then berates his methodology of randomly shooting people with arrows. She thinks it's time for a new person to do the job. He tells her to have at it. She warns him off of "feeding Dave's fantasy," because she doesn't want him to get hurt and reminds him of her promise to the hospital that he'd "be no danger to [himself] or others. Don't make me regret that." Um... Claire, I don't think they're worried mental patient will break someone's heart. Call me crazy, but I think the board's "danger" concerns are of a more concrete nature. And we jump to...
