Quo Vadimus

Quo Vadimus - Isaac tells Dana they'll know more by the end of the day and tells her not to start a "brushfire," which refers either to her loose lips or her tendency to throw lit cigarettes into wastebaskets.

La Forza Del Destino

La Forza Del Destino - Casey reminds the viewers that it's "Day 6" of the CSC "fire sale" and is offering the network to any viewers with four or five billion dollars, and that's kind of funny.

Bells And A Siren

Bells And A Siren - Dan wants to know who else is going to be at the restaurant, and Katherine lists a bunch of nobodies, including "the other girl who used to be married to Donald Trump" except she can't remember her name, and I don't think Sports Night is so deluged with viewers that they can afford to casually take swipes at Marla Maples.

April Is The Cruelest Month

April Is The Cruelest Month - The full-grown adult's name is Bert, and Dana is saying something about the Olympics and that whatever Bert thinks of her decorum, she's doing her job, and I am glad that for once in Isaac's office, Dana is yakking about something work-related.

Celebrities

Celebrities - Dan pats his stomach and says, "this is Yehudi Menuhin" like he just ate Yehudi Menuhin or something. But what he means is that patting his stomach is the signal for Yehudi Menuhin, which clears nothing up for me. Casey wonders why they need a signal for Yehudi Menuhin, but Dan says Casey would be amazed at how many times it will come up.

And The Crowd Goes Wild

And The Crowd Goes Wild - Dan says, "Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Reid's head should contact the proper authorities." It's not a bad line, but delivery is everything and Dan sounds like he's been novocained. However, Dana still goes into paroxysms of laughter in the control room.
