Episode Dialogue


Alan Shore: Congratulations. I saw you were the lucky one who caught Bev’s garter.
Paul Lewiston: Yes. I’m going for a full battery of tests first thing in the morning.
__

Denny Crane: I love you.
Bev: I love you more.
Denny Crane: I love you more more.


Female server at the wedding, carrying a tray of filled champagne glasses: Smiles, flirty. Nice night.
Denny Crane: *A beat, then* Suddenly it is.

Joel Landson: There could be more investigations. And all the partners will be liable. We’re talking Arthur Anderson headlines.

Alan Shore: You know how I love the spectacle of fireworks. And when one attaches one’s coat tails to another and that person makes a decision no matter how big or small, and this case big, one must pay the price of that attachment.
Shirley Schmidt: It would have been easier just to have sex with you.
__

Bev: Actually, Denny, once you see the Kona Coast, you may even be thinking of first homes.
Denny Crane: Good natured. What am I supposed to do, beam myself to Boston every morning?

Six Degrees of the Guest Star
Corbin Bernsen as Attorney Eli Granger -  Bernsen has been appearing on film and TV since the mid-70s and had his first major role in 1983 on the daytime drama Ryan's Hope. But it was his 8-year turn as sleazy lawyer Arnie Becker on LA Law which proved to be the defining role of his career. Bernsen received two Emmy and two Golden Globe nominations for this role, while working with young writer David E. Kelley. Since then, Bernsen has remained active without quite achieving the same stature - appearing in the three Major League films, for example - although he did have a memorable guest appearance as "Q2" in an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1990). In recent years, Bernsen has returned to his daytime roots and currently has a recurring role on General Hospital.
