For this entire season, Thomas Jane ("Ray") was nominated for the 2010 Golden Globe Award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series-Comedy or Musical", and Jane Adams ("Tanya") was nominated for "Best Performance by an Actress In a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made For Television".
Episode Title: "A dick and a dream" is what Ray thinks he has left as he contemplates on his life by the lake. "Fight the honey" refers to the honey and beehives Ray finds inside the wall of his house.
When Ray and Tanya are having hotdogs at a diner, you can see that some of the items on the table change in each shot.
• The wrapping paper in front of Ray goes from crumpled to folded out.
• When we first see Tanya's glass, we can see the words "Pepsi-Cola" on it, with the "P" barely visible. In the next shot, the glass has been turned so that only the word "Pepsi" can be seen. In the next shot, the full "Pepsi-Cola" sign can be seen (the "P" is clearly visible).
• When Tanya first puts the mustard bottle down on the table, we can see neither the front nor the back label. In the next shot, the bottle has been turned so that most of the front label can be seen. In the next shot, when we can see the bottle from behind Tanya, it has been turned back to the first position (none of the labels is visible). In the next shot, from Ray's perspective, the bottle has been turned so that all of the back label can be seen.
The book Tanya is reading while lying on the sofa is The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale.
The movies playing at 8PM and midnight on Horror Night at the Redford Cinema are 10,000 Corpses and Die, Maggots, Die!.
The book Tanya is reading before she used it to swat a fly on her table is Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
Ray: (voice-over, after agreeing to see one of Lenore's clients) So there I was, in a fancy hotel bar, wearing a suit I hated even more than the last one. Did I make the right call? What would Ernie Banks have done?
Ray: (voice-over) I wanted the house, but I had a tent. I wanted to stay married, but my wife ran off. I wanted to play ball, but I taught history. I wanted to teach, but I was gonna lose my job. I wanted electricity, and I got honey.
Lenore: (referring to Tanya) So did you dump her?
Ray: No. I tried, but uh...look Lenore, last time I checked, capitalism was about supply and demand. Now I've got the supply, and I've got a demand. We're gonna do this my way. Take it or leave it.
Ray: (voice-over) Why did I feel so guilty about Tanya? I tried to just focus on the house. I almost had the whole place ready to get rewired, and then... (finds honey in the wall) Who knows where the bees went. I felt like the butt of a cosmic joke.
Lenore: Look around you, Ray. Most of these women have more money than they know what to do with. And their husbands are either too old or or too busy to get erections.
Ray: (referring to Tanya) The pimp job, it means a lot to her.
Lenore: Well, winning Miss Michigan meant a lot to me, but I had to realize it wasn't my destiny. God, you're so loyal, Ray. You're like a golden retriever.
Ray: Look, I know you think Tanya's minor leagues, but okay, she has some flaws, but we can't just cut her loose.
Lenore: Sure we can, this it capitalism.
Lenore: Your vagina is like a car battery, Jessica. You've got to keep it charged. The battery dies, you become weak...and whiny.
Jessica: Okay, really? I don't know what you're talking about.
Lenore: I'm saying you could use a jump.
Lenore: How often do you screw your husband?
Jessica: Um...it varies.
Lenore: How many times was he inside you last week?
Jessica: Last week, uh...zero?
Lenore: Zero? All right, that's a f*cking shame. You need a husband who wants to f*ck you. No, you need a professional. A sex therapist.
Jessica: You're right. I do. I, I, I need a, uh, a person to talk to about all of my issues.
Lenore: And by sex therapist, I mean someone who will fuck you so good, you don't care what your husband does...or doesn't do.
Lenore: We all bring strengths to the table. For example, I bring a business head. You, Tanya, bring a strong sense of ethics and Ray brings a big dick. We can be like the Three Musketeers.
Tanya: Lenore, Ray is my prostitute!!
Yael: You know, Ray, sometimes in life, it's best to forget the big problems and just fuck for a little while.
(talking about letting Lenore join Happiness Consultants)
Ray: You've got a good soul. But I need a professional on board. It'll be okay...kinda like a threesome.
Tanya: Kind like a threesome? You ever been in a threesome? Everyone I've ever been in, the other two people screw while all I do is bring them water.
Ray: (voice-over) There are moments in your life when you realize God is joking. He's up there. Hell, maybe She's up there, laughing her head off. Either way, you're fucked.
Ray: (voice-over) I used to have a family. I used to have a wife, kids, a house, a job. Now, well, now I have my dick. A dick and a dream. If that's not the American way, what is?
