Night Court1984
Harry T. Stone:
Bull, you look depressed.
Bull Shannon:
I am. My word of the month is so obscure I can't find an opportunity to use it in conversation.
Harry T. Stone:
What word is that?
Bull Shannon:
"Pentimento."
Harry T. Stone:
[after a beat, turns to Dan] So how about that Jets game last night, huh?
Billie Young:
Bull, what exactly does pentimento mean?
Bull Shannon:
It's an artistic term, referring to the reappearance of original elements that had been obliterated by a new outer appearance.
Dan Fielding:
You mean like that little brown shadow on top of your head that you affectionately refer to as hair?
Bull Shannon:
Good example!
