"Yeah, I got that." "I've maybe met her twice, once on the show last year, and I bumped into her for, like, five minutes at an Outback Steakhouse." "And the lady loves a bloomin' onion." "They're so good." "Crikey." "They're delicious." "But it is strange that she considers you best friends." "Maybe she's confusing me with somebody else." "Lots of people do."

"Thank you so much, but, you know, it wasn't really a stretch playing a privileged white man as opposed to my work on "Dudley."" " "Dudley." - "Do-Right"?" " Recall?" " Mm." ""Dudley Do-Right."" "I spent seven months training with the real Canadian mounted policemen for that one in preparation." "Wow, I'm..." "I had no idea." "I didn't tell you about it." "So I spent seven months, and I still didn't feel like I'd really found what makes that guy tick, you know." "I didn't know what was inside of him." "I couldn't get into his skin." "So I created a back-story." "Oh." "Dudley was the youngest of seven siblings." "His mother Margaret, a homemaker, a good woman, very attractive, and his father was a blacksmith, hard worker, hot temper, and when he learned that Margaret had been having a... shall we say "flirtation"..." "with the town grocer, he snapped, and one Christmas Eve, he bludgeoned her to death, her blood splattering, turning the white snow red." "Dudley saw the whole thing." "He never saw his father again, save for the occasion when he was to be executed, the noose around his neck, threw the switch." "The trapdoor opened." ""Papa, pourquoi?"" "From that day forward," "Dudley vowed to live a life of virtue to only do right." "Um..." "I also liked "The Mummy" a lot." "[Lively Trumpet Music]" "[Lively Trumpet Music]" "Anyway, Brendan, I just wanted to see what you wanted to talk about on the couch tonight." "Oh, I'm not going to talk." "I'm gonna do a song."

"I mean, I told you about the time that... that he hit on me, right?" "I mean, I had just had an ovarian cyst rupture." "This was well before I had even met Scott." "I was dating the guy, Marc, the guy with the huge... brr." " "Brring.""

"He's some guy named John, who apparently is very handsy." " Staci." " Yeah." "I need you to do your Staci thing and convince Brendan Fraser not to sing on the show." "Brendan Fraser sings?" "Like William Shatner." "Oh, my God." "And he insists on doing a comedy song he wrote." "Well, is it any good?" "It's horrible." "And offensive." "At one point, he rhymes "contortion" with "abortion."" "Well, there's that viral clip you've always wanted." "That's not the viral we want." "Okay, Davis, you need to be more sensitive."

"I was just... very... frustrated, because I didn't like the things you were saying about John." "What?" "Why?" "Because back before he was with Liz, he and I were kind of a thing." "Wait, you were?" "Yes, Penny, don't you remember I told you?" "John, the one that got away." "But they all got away." "Oh, my God." "Staci, why didn't you tell me this before?" "I was humiliated, pure and simple."
