  [He tosses an apple to a "blind" man, who catches it reflexively, then retreats, embarrassed] 

  Harry T. Stone : ...*transparent* display, I have ever witnessed!

• Dan Fielding : [about Mary Jo]  She makes Squiggy look like Buckminster Fuller.

  Bailiff Selma Hacker : I had a husband that dumb once. They fool you by walking upright, don't they?

• Harry T. Stone : Bull, you look depressed.

  Bull Shannon : I am. My word of the month is so obscure I can't find an opportunity to use it in conversation.

  Harry T. Stone : What word is that?

  Bull Shannon : "Pentimento."

  Harry T. Stone : [after a beat, turns to Dan]  So how about that Jets game last night, huh?

  Billie Young : Bull, what exactly does pentimento mean?

  Bull Shannon : It's an artistic term, referring to the reappearance of original elements that had been obliterated by a new outer appearance.

  Dan Fielding : You mean like that little brown shadow on top of your head that you affectionately refer to as hair?

  Bull Shannon : Good example!
