Quotes
Dee Reynolds: I had the craziest dream last night that I was in Cleveland, Ohio - which is really weird because I've never been to Ohio. And this guy was wearing a bunny suit, and he was coming out of...
Dennis Reynolds: [interrupting her] You know what Dee, I don't want to hear about your dream, okay? I hate listening to people's dreams. It's like flipping through a stack of photographs. If I'm not in any of them, and nobody's having sex, I just... don't care.

Good pilot

This is my first review. This episode is a good strong pilot and the first episode of sunny I've seen. It's offensive to people who don't get the shows comedy, for me I'm not offended but be warned that this episode contains racism and homophobia but this episode to me is the funniest pilot for a show I've ever seen.
