Ah so.
Thanks, Cliffy.
Just saw this after taping it. That ‘W’ on Ben Stiller’s chin was priceless. Especially after Buster’s fake arm was chopped off.
Though the best line was (as mentioned): Wait, let him finish.
And then it was great when Michael said: I want the old doctor back.
“Better hit the brake, there’s a red light a half mile down the road”
Oh Tobias. I just hope we see more Mrs. Featherbottom in future episodes.
And I never caught the 22 to 18 houses joke! How brilliant!
I didn’t either, until reading it here.
Then I rewound the tape and watched again, and paid closer attention to the lines, and thought that Ron Howard’s response, as narrator, was a rather clever part of it, too:
Michael: “You initially told us to design and build 22 homes, and now you’re saying 18. That doesn’t give us enough capital to complete the job and… we’ve already got the blueprints drawn up and everything.”
Narrator (Ron Howard): “Well, that part wasn’t true. But they would have!”
