Quotes:
[Susan swipes Katherine's pearls to pay MJ's tuition, and Katherine chases her into the street wearing only a towel]
Katherine Mayfair: Susan Mayer for God's sake, give me back my pearls.
Susan Mayer: [Susan grabs hold of the towel] Pearls or towel, you decide.
Katherine Mayfair: You wouldn't dare!
Susan Mayer: I have been naked once on this street. It would be nice to take the heat off that story.
Katherine Mayfair: Have you lost your mind?
Susan Mayer: Mike said he can't afford to pay for MJ's private school, now I know why! He wants to see his girlfriend wearing pearls when she flashes him!
Katherine Mayfair: He wouldn't pay for MJ's school?
Susan Mayer: No. So, I was gonna take these and sell them to try to pay for it and now that I'm saying it out loud, I hear how stupid that sounds.
Katherine Mayfair: I can't believe Mike would do that.

Although DH is consistently the best written show on TV, this episode was exceptional. This episode deserves an Emmy. It is hard to believe that DH has never won an Emmy for writing. I don't understand why it is in the comedy category, although it is hilarious and I laughed out loud at this episode many times. It does not feel like a comedy to me. The only nomination for writing was the pilot, which was competing against "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Arrested Development". I like these shows, but are they comparable to DH? Hey Emmy people- find or create an appropriate writing category for the best written show on TV and then give them an Emmy.
