Two moments from this episode
The Puck Who Never Left
During a staged reading of A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shatner played Theseus and Martin Short played Puck. Sent off to fetch the flower, Short promised to circle the world three times, declared "Watch how I go," and then simply stood there looking around while Shatner waited. Short spent the rest of the reading off script, cutting through the audience and doing whatever he liked.
“Watch how I go! And he just stands there. Just looking around.”
That's What The Last Joey Said
When Nathan Fillion first joined One Life to Live as Joey Buchanan, he told Phil Carey, who played his grandfather Asa, that life was incredible and he was doing great. Carey answered that the last Joey had said the same thing, then told him he was all right, kid. Fillion says Carey had a gruff persona but looked after him for years.
“He goes, yeah, that's what the last Joey said.”
