Episode Quotes
 
Josh: I'm holding ... your underwear ... in my hand ... right now. And the way I know it's your underwear is that your name sewn in the back, which is obviously something we'll spend some time talking about at a later date.
 
C.J.: Why were you holding women's underwear before?
Josh: Never needed a reason before.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Toby: I'm shocked, shocked, I say, to find there's gambling going on in this establishment.

Toby is quoting a line from the film Casablanca spoken by a police officer.
