Dave: Welcome to Celebrity Poker Showdown. We are the show that has taught America phrases like "Big Blind", "Flop the Flush", and "Ben Affleck lost to that gay guy from Sex and the City". (edit) Dave: Matthew Perry, you're here. You're playing for charity even if you recently lost your job.
Matthew: I know.
Dave: That says something about heart people. That says something about this industry. (edit) Dave: And Lauren we worked together on NewsRadio many years ago and now you're a big star and you won't answer my calls.
Lauren: I'm sorry.
Dave: It's alright.
Lauren: I'm busy.
Dave: No, the mistake was answering them when you were working on NewsRadio. (edit) Matthew: Can we just take a moment and just caress the felt? Is that alright? (edit) (after Sean Astin checked when he needed to either fold or call)
Matthew: That's the most elaborate bluff I've ever seen in my life.
Sean: Yeah, fold.
Matthew: I was wrong. (edit)

Sean: I'm particularly proud of how clever I was to get a member of the Friends cast to agree to be my friend.
Matthew: We can't really be Lord of the Rings, can we?

The Lord of the Rings is the Peter Jackson film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel of the same name. The movie starred Sean Astin as a hobbit. (edit) Audience Members: Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
Sean: They were better prepped than I thought they were.

Rudy was a 1993 film wherein Sean Astin starred as the title character. In the film, football fans were egging him on during the game by chanting his name. (edit) (after seeing Matthew's king-queen and Lauren's pair of queens)
Phil: Pocket queens! Two queens short of the Fab Five.

The Fab Five is the collective nickname of the hosts of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy which is also being shown on Bravo. (edit)
