Aaron's classic attack of flop sweats when anchoring the news.

Producer: This is more than Nixon ever sweated.

- When Aaron tells Jane about how bad he was, getting calls from viewers.

Jane: People called in complaining about your sweating?
Aaron: No, nice calls, worried that I was having a heart attack.

- Tom, who taped the show, doesn't help.

Jane: It wasn't unprecedented, was it?!
Tom: (chuckling) Not unless you count Singin' in the Rain.

Aaron's 'Devil' speech to Jane. You know the one.

Aaron Altman: I know you care about him. I've never seen you like this about anyone, so please don't take it wrong when I tell you that I believe that Tom, while a very nice guy, is the Devil.
Jane Craig: This isn't friendship.
Aaron Altman: What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women.

This exchange:

Aaron: Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If needy were a turn-on?
Jane: Call me if you get weird.

Big finish!
