[Dan is told to "apologize" on the air for belonging to an organization that supports the legalization of marijuana]

Dan Rydell:
You think I should apologize?

Isaac:
No. But you're going to anyway.

Dan Rydell:
Why?

Isaac:
Because this is television and this is how it's done.

Dan Rydell:
Yeah, well, sitting in the back of the bus was how it was done until a forty-two year old lady moved up front. I'm not very impressed with how things are done, Isaac.

Isaac:
Be that as it may. We'll do it tonight. That's all, we're done.

Gilbert:
You know, you might...

Isaac:
We're done, Stanley.

Dan Rydell:
Well that was a lot of fun huh?

Isaac:
Yeah. Take thirty seconds before the second commercial break, then get us right back into the show.

Dan Rydell:
You know, I don't have any idea what I'm gonna say.

Isaac:
You'll think of something.

Dan Rydell:
I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

Isaac:
Apologize.

Dan Rydell:
To who?

Isaac:
Who cares? [pauses] Danny?

Dan Rydell:
Yeah?

Isaac:
You know I love you, don't you?

Dan Rydell:
Yeah.

Isaac:
And because I love you I can say this: no rich young white guy has ever gotten anywhere with me comparing himself to Rosa Parks. Got it?

Dan Rydell:
Yes sir.

Isaac:
Good.
