    "Perfect"
    By mangofish26, Nov 30, 2008
    One of the funniest and most beautifully shot episodes. I love the when Joel and Chris go head to head on a philosophical debate of truth in the 1 room church/school while the rest of Cicely watches. The body found by Chris leads to an explosion of questions and secrets to be revealed including Holling's own infamous family line leading Shelly to the wrong conclusion. The Frenchman comes in tow with a diary that the Maggie and Holling are attempting to translate which could change history and Joel tries all he can to refute it. Watching him struggle with this information is funny. And let's not forget about the Teleteaunics !moreless

    • (Joel is dreaming that Elijah shows up at seder) "Elijah": You fill up this cup every year, you open the door, but you don't expect Elijah to walk in?

    • Joel: So you put two and two together and came up with 22? Shelly: Yeah.

    • Chris: History is powerful stuff. One day your world is fine. The next day it's knocked for a metaphysical loop. Was Napoleon really at Waterloo? Would that change what I had for breakfast? Thoughts turn to our refrigerated friend Pierre Le Moulin, Pierre the Windmill, stepchild of history. If those chapped lips could speak, what would they say? Bonjour?
