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.
