You’re right – in Korean, “Annyong” is “Hello”. However, his Korean name is Hel-loh, which means “one day”.

ETA: And what other sitcom (apart possibly from MASH) has a joke in Korean?

The first time I saw this episode, I had tears pouring down my face.

I know what an erection feels like, Michael. No, it’s the opposite. It’s… it’s like my heart is getting hard.

I was already a big fan of Portia DiRossi before that episode. That scene made me a big hard fan.

I’m going to go see if I can’t get a wrench to strip my nuts. _[beat]_ I thought it sounded sexy.

…Despite the shirt, did Lindsay actually have sex with anyone besides Tobias?

From my memory of the series, no – she was as incompetent at everything as the rest of the family was, including having affairs with the men she tried to get it on with.

And I think she only had sex with Tobias once.

Wasn’t there a scene where Tobias needed to get into character for his role as Prisoner #2, and asked Lindsay to say something scary to him?

Lindsay: F\*\*\* me.

Tobias: No, that’s not working.

I never really understood that part. She should have no trouble at all finding a guy. Mr. F even got closer to having sex than she did.

That’s the thing. She _should_ be able to get any guy she wants but she managed to screw that up.
