• There are currently no notes. Add notes!

• Bobbie: (laughing) Oh, God.
  Martin: Hey, could you keep it down?
  Bobbie: I am not gonna keep it down. That’s my client. He’s the funniest thing in this. [edit]
• Alex: We just went shopping for our outfits for the premiere. We’re so excited.
  Gina: You gotta see these dresses me and Alex got. (pulls her dress out of the bag) Tell him what you said about mine.
  Alex: I said “That is the sluttiest thing I’ve ever seen.”
  Gina: And, out came the credit card! [edit]
• Michael: I got my tux. How are you doing on the tickets?
  Joey: Uh, not so good. I was gonna call my boss a while ago, but I started playing Tetris and I couldn’t put it down. Ooh, check it out though. I got to level two.
  Michael: Well, that’s not very good.
  Joey: Yeah, I don’t understand the game. [edit]

• Brent Spiner tells Bobbie that she knows he doesn't like to talk about Data. Then she calls him Mr. Roboto.
  
  Mr. Roboto is a 1983 song by Styx that reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. A lyric in the song is 'Domo arigato misuta Robotto' which translates to 'Thank you very much Mr. Roboto'. [edit]
• Brent Spiner says that he was too busy hitting on Klingon extras. When the girl walks away from Michael, he says that she was like a Deltan and a Betazoid all roled into one.
  Michael also asks Brent what the Ferengi were like.
  
  These are all aliens from the Star Trek franchise. Klingons are the warrior race with the forehead ridges, considered one of the most popular aliens in the series. Deltans are bald and emit pheremones that make them irresistible to humans. Betazoids are a race of empathic and telepathic people who look similar to humans.
  The Ferengi are a race of merchants distinguished by their large ears and sharp teeth. [edit]
• It is mentioned that Brent Spiner was in Independance Day.
  
  Independance Day was a hit film starring Will Smith about an alien invasion of Earth. Brent Spiner played a scientist in the film. [edit]
