Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • Ken Watanabe: Practically the entire Japanese community figures internment was wrong and unnecessary, but you're going to find a lot of others who find taking money for what they went through, is adding one disgrace to another. []
  • Mrs. Pynchon: I can handle Mr. Rossi with my brace on my leg and one hand tied behind my back. []
  • Adam: You play the ponies just like you play the stock market.
    Lou: Blue chips? The horse and jockey with the best combined record?
    Adam: Is that how you play the market?
    Lou: I don't play the market. I thought that's what you meant.
    Adam: No, no. You look for a jockey or horse with one or more of the letter X and then you lay a heavy bet.
    Lou: Thanks a lot, Adam!
    Adam: Hey, it worked with Xerox. []

  • Mrs. Pynchon: Swollen hands and dragging feet. It sounds like a Fats Waller lyric.

    Jazz pianist and singer Fats Waller (1904-1943) was famous for songs with unusual titles such as "Your Feet's Too Big" and "All That Meat And No Potatoes". []
