Mike (to Ed, on the $10 bet): When the gauntlet is dropped, you must accept the challenge. (edit) Warren: Yeah, I was just wondering... um... when you invite a client over to your office for the first time, and they see that it's like, in a bowling alley, or whatever, um... well, are they ever like, "Thanks, but I think I'm gonna find a lawyer whose office is not in a bowling alley?" (edit) Ed (about the mailman): Neither rain nor sleet nor gloom of night could stop him from having sex with my wife. (edit) Warren (to Molly, about Carol): Your friend here is a tough nut to crack, and I am one hungry squirrel. (edit) Ed: It was the inflatable guitar, right? You don't see Keith Richards with an inflatable guitar. (edit)

Phil nicknames Kenny "Gigantor". Kenny calls Ed "Chief". (edit) $10 Bet: Mike bets Ed that he cannot drink a bottle of pancake syrup. (edit)

Nick Stanton: Sometimes I look in the mirror and see Holden Caulfield staring back at me.

Holden Caulfield is the protagonist in the J.D. Salinger novel Catcher in the Rye. (edit) Ed says that his law firm in NYC was "Farmer and Sheehan"; this is a reference to Pat Farmer and Kenny Sheehan, two staff members on Letterman's Late Show. (edit)
