Featured Music:
"A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson (edit) Rob Burnett received five consecutive Emmy awards (1998-2002) and Jon Beckerman received one (1998) for working on Late Show with David Letterman, so the set dresser probably didn't have to go far to get the Emmys that were used as props in the scenes with Phil.

Ed (to Carol): Welcome to my humble abode... or as the plains Indians would say, my humble adobe.
(edit)
Warren (on his and Carol's history): We just... POW... you know, it was just this intense attraction that wouldn't, nay couldn't, be denied.
(edit)
Carol: I recognize the full irony in what I'm about to say, but do you think there's any way I can interest you in screwing the top back on the toothpaste?
(edit)
Mr. Mazula (about Ed's passion for life): You can see it in his eyes. "Rules? What rules?" That's what he's thinking right there.
(edit)
Nancy (when Mike tries on a knight suit): Now you look like a big, stupid Jiffy Pop.
(edit)
In Season Two episode "Memory Lane" when Carol and Dennis move in together, Carol jokes to Dennis that he left the toothpaste cap off that morning. In this episode, she reminds Ed to always keep the toothpaste cap on.
(edit)
Ed and Mr. Mazula blow through a clearly visible stop sign during their drive.
