Best Memory


One of the partners wanted to get rid of a hideous painting. Gave it to someone in the office who took it home and then brought it back the next morning. This happened three times. The last time, the Matt Frewer character saw the painting being returned and exclaimed, "If we find the nest, we can kill the queen!"

Don't know why, but that made me laugh for months afterward.

The episode is 2.13 "No Free Lunch" Abe Butterfield paints an awful painting and in the end of the episode the supposed artist dies and they sell the painting to Grant for $10,000

Mike originally took the painting home and threw it in the trash and his brother Richard brings the painting back to the office.

Mike took it home, Dierdre took it home and Fay took it home and it always wound up turning up back at the office

Hilarious!!

My favorite moment was when Mike had a phone call from the hospital, listened to what the nurse had to say, and then replied, "Okay. Call me if his conditon changes." The other character asks Mike how the guy is doing. His reply - "Oh, he is dead." Perfect.

Always loved when Deirdre's boyfriend left her for a younger woman. Cruel yes, but the line delivery was perfect: "Younger woman? Deirdre, she'd have to be in high school." "SHE IS! She's a JUNIOR!"
Also when Frewer and Gravitte came bopping in to the room and Abe simply said, "You guys are soooo white."
My all time favorite Matt Frewer quote though has to be "I am not a kook, but I do like it in the kitchen."

The one that has stayed with me was the time Dr. S. was hitting on a woman who had just gotten on the elevator. He apparently did pretty well because I remember her saying "I get off in an hour." From outside the elevator and as the doors were closing, Matt Frewer's character replied "That's OK, I've been working out!"...may not be verbatim but I think that's close. At the time, I couldn't believe they got away with that on network TV. Still cracks me up whenever I think of it.

I do not recall the context but it was Matt Frewer's character who first said the line "Bring me another boy, this one's burst" in reply to the female lead in the show saying something like "guess what I said" or words to that effect. '

The show was amusing but I will never forget that line because I laughed myself breathless over it.
