Dave: Welcome to Celebrity Poker Showdown! This is where you get to see famous people lie, bully, and steal their way to a big pay-off. So pretty much like any working day in Hollywood. (edit) Dave: (pointing to Maura) You look so familiar.
Maura: You too.
Dave: You look like someone. I don't know who it is. (edit) Dave: The thing is I like to point out my connections with everyone so it seems like I'm still in show business. (edit) Maura: (to Jon) Dave actually doesn't like you. He told me.
Jon: Oh, he doesn't?
Maura: Yeah, but it's okay.
Dave: Maura, there are things that are said in confidence.
Andy: Foley not liking you is career suicide. You're cooked. (edit) Dave: The players that get knocked out... they're gonna have to join us here in the Losers' Lounge, which is really quite a delightful place. It's a place of healing. It's a place of relaxation and drinking. And you can watch television. (edit)
