Peter Krause: Casey McCall

Quotes 

• Dan Rydell : Eli's Coming.

  Casey McCall : Eli?

  Dan Rydell : From the Three Dog Night song.

  Casey McCall : Yes?

  Dan Rydell : Eli is something bad, a darkness.

  Casey McCall : "Eli's coming. Hide your heart, girl." Eli is a inveterate womanizer. I think you're getting the song wrong.

  Dan Rydell : I know I'm getting the song wrong. But, when I first heard it, that's what I thought it meant. Things stick with you that way.

• Dana Whitaker : Isaac's gonna want to show us pictures from his vacation so I'm going to get a welcome back cake and we'll have a little party in his office tomorrow.

  Casey McCall : What kind of cake?

  Dana Whitaker : What kind of cake?

  Casey McCall : Yes.

  Dana Whitaker : I don't know Casey - why do you ask?

  Casey McCall : I'm particular about cake. And I have to say it's been my experience that men buy better cake than women. I've found that women tend to get these yogurt-frosted low-cal things laced with a rum and fruit concoction that make eating cake into something you do to be polite. So that's why I was asking what kind of cake you were planning on getting to celebrate Isaac returning from vacation.

  Dana Whitaker : Wow, I didn't know you felt so strongly about, but now that I do I guess the answer is - whatever cake I damn please.

  Casey McCall : Excellent.
