My Favorite Line

I know no one's going to respond to this, or probably even read it, but here goes. Molly and the David Straithern character are being seated in a sushi restaurant.

"How do you do your squid?" Strathern asks the waiter.
"Fine, thank you," the waiter replies, then exits.
"Did he just think I called him 'Your Squid'?" Straithern asks Molly.

Well, maybe you had to be there.

Molly, to Nate:
"I could cook, if my oven would just heat up"

I know, an ancient post on a basically deserted board, but,

"Did he just think I called him 'Your Squid'?" Straithern asks Molly.

I LOVED that line! Hadn't thought of it for years. As funny now as it was back then. Maybe not if you didn't see the show. The writing was brilliant, better than anything else I'd seen up until that point, and for many years to come.

A throwaway line I always remembered and loved was Molly mentioning watching "the 24-hour cable hair show." Not as funny now as it was then. For all I know, there really is one now.

It's nice to know there are still a few Days and Nights of Molly Dodd fans out there.
