So, because all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, I’ve decided to start doing something a little different on Fridays (at least, that’ll be the goal). These posts will give you a little insight into my off-beat (or what my wife calls “weird”) sense of humor…
The other night, I was watching one of my favorite shows, Law & Order, and I realized that at the end of most of the episodes, one of the characters (typically one of the attorneys) will deliver the last line of dialog before Dick Wolf’s name appears. Sometimes the lines are funny, sometimes ironic, or even poignant or ominous. Whichever it happens to be, it’s typically very well-suited to the plot that’s just been played out. So I thought to myself “I wonder if I could come up with some ending lines to L&O that – if the viewer didn’t see the whole episode and just heard the one line – would cause the viewer to wonder ‘what the hell was this episode about?!’”. Here’s what I came up with:
- “Well, just wait until he sees his raincoat…”
- “That’ll be the last time he orders it medium-rare…”
- “I’d still love to know where he got those balloons…”
- “That’s why we’re lawyers and not massage therapists…”
- “Still, it’s a shame about the Camaro…”
There you go – hope none of you are scared off by any of this 
Have a great weekend!
