- Quotes
Lisa: You're Canadian?
Jimmy: I am?
Lisa: Not you, sir. Him.
Jimmy: Oh, no. Dave? He's from the Midwest, the heart of America where the real Americans live. You're as American as apple pie, aren't you, Dave?
Dave: Yeah.
Lisa: [holds up Dave's birth certificate] Well, then what is this all about?
Dave: What is what all abo... ab... uh, what's what?
Lisa: You're afraid to say it, aren't you?
Dave: No.
Lisa: Yes, you are.
Dave: No.
Lisa: Yes, you are. If you have nothing to hide, Dave, say "about."
Dave: No.
Lisa: Say it!
Dave: No.
Lisa: Say "out."
Dave: No.
Lisa: "House."
Dave: No.
Lisa: "Couch."
Dave: Your honor, I plead the fifth.
Lisa: I don't know if you have that right, Dave.
Dave: I do too, eh!
[Lisa gasps]
Jimmy: Oh my God...

This is a departure from the standard format of the show. Never before has there been any aspect of the paranormal presented in the program. The "ghost" could have been an interesting and fun part of this story if only Dave (or Matthew!) had remarked on his presence and disappearance.
Anyway, great job as usual.
