I just saw a story about the new craze in China being dying your dog to look like a panda or a tiger. Made me think of Toby's last line from this video. Google up the pictures... they're disturbing.

If you watch the whole episode, look out for two panda bears in CJ's fishbowl. You can see them really clearly at one point -- the props people having their little joke.

[Technosquid]

Wow -- I had no idea. Is there also a banana bar on CJ's desk?

"Bonnie, you are dedicated and you are beautiful, and Ginger, you are other nice things." LMAO

I like the common device in the show of the assistant holding a stack of papers dropping her arms to her sides when she's pissed. Adds comedic effect somehow.

"Then get us two regular bears. A bucket of black paint, a bucket of white paint, bam-bam. Next case."

My favorite Toby line from season one. :) Laugh every time!

"I am smiling, I am laughing, I've gotta snap out of this. What's on your mind?"

"I want you to help me to get the Chinese to get us a new panda bear to replace Lum-lum."

(long, long pause)

"Well, that did the trick."

[Nerd Ferguson]

Happy Toby is scaring me.

[Paul Abreu]

"Did I kill her?" "No." "Then what are you talking to me for?"

[pierzy11]

"I think we should get a panda bear."

"You say that now but I'm the one who's going to end up feeding him and walking him."

...." for some who hasn't quite mastered the alphabet ".........lol

There was some great dialogue in this storyline, but there's no way in hell someone of Josh's intelligence wouldn't know what a panda is. Especially considering that he lives in DC, where references to pandas are all over the place because of the national zoo. And especially considering that someone with his job would be following the news all the time - and the last panda at the national zoo dying would be all over the news. Still a funny scene, though.

"you say that now, but I'm the one who's gonna end up feeding him and walking him".....they must have laughed their asses off!
