Scene:
Say What? At the beginning of the episode, Mack continues his joke with “and what did the
cop say?”, but when Sam doesn't know what to say, Mack changes his wording to “so, what did you say?” Is Sam the cop? Mack points at
the drummer for a comedic drum sound, but both times the
drummer has already done it. Timing! Al once leaves using the relocation
sound rather than the Imaging Chamber door effect.
Quotable Quotes: "That’s it. I’m killing you." "You’re on a real roller coaster here." "The three of us. The Three Stooges. That’s not funny." Mack:
"You think you can blackmail me." "That’s the way my mind works." Mack:
"Hit me." "He’s lizard food." "Two big ugly guys with noses for faces."
