Such a hilarious episode!
Already the intro is great - absolutely gotta love Maddie/Cybill here! Now is she moving great or what?!
I really love the office talk leading to the fine/fun challenge! David's reaction to Maddie's idea ("The ballet?! The opera?!") cracks me up and reminds me very much of his reaction "Seafood?!" in "Bride Of Tupperman".
Anyway, I don't think we can judge who's been more comfortable in whose backyard, as they haven't had their fun evening yet, that boxing adventure doesn't count IMO! And, come on, didn't David just do
so well on the fine evening? The mishap with the tickets wasn't his fault, was it? I think he did everything quite right. OK, the program throwing wasn't too good an idea, but hey, he just wanted to apologize, right? And be honest -didn't that tux make up for a
lot of the bad stuff??
The connection between "Symphony" and "The Man Who..." is clearly the spontaneity/planning question, this time thus it's not spontaneity vs. rationality/weighing pros and cons (related to decisions) but spontaneity vs. planning (related to actions). I think both have their merit. Anyway, "let's see what happens" is definitely not "Maddietude" (there, witness! I borrowed your neologism again! Thanks for inventing!) - it could lead to danger, right?
Oh, another link to the previous ep I found at the end: "He'd hit a girl!!!" Clearly that drove Maddie mad! Nice she had the occasion to throw one of her notorious punches; definitely not a sissy-fighter! Of course the "Oh, baby!" ending is very nice...
Very funny the scene in the locker room when Maddie conks babbling Boogaloo in the head, and suddenly he starts talking clearly. Cracks me up!
Many of the good quotes have already been mentioned, here are another few:
D: "I've been known for delivering my own flora - and, on occasion, my own fauna!" you betcha! ;D
D: "I even wait till the second date before I suggest a seventh-inning-stretch!"
D: "I'll show you the sophistication beneath the rugged exterior."
M: "The what beneath the what?!"
M: "I can pull it off. Can you?"
D: "In my sleep. Or, at the very least, on my back." Uh-huh!
(in the limo) D: "There's even a bathtub, if we feel dirty later!"
M: "I love Beethoven!"
D: "I heard he puts on a pretty good show. Does he ever bite the heads off any small animals?"
D: "I'd know that slam anywhere!"
M: "This is oodles of fun for me - I've never stolen a car before!"
Aaaaand, this time, my favorite comes from Maddie, served chilled and dry as good bubbly champagne:
"If you wanna hold on to your hair, you don't spend the evening with Sitting Bull!"
