Trevor sets up Claire's friend Riley with a social activist... who unfortunately turns out to be married. The cynical private investigator who exposed the activist's married state seems an unlikely successor, except to Trevor. Trevor also hooks up his boss/roommate Felix with a woman who turns out to be the mother of Lita's new boyfriend.

Episode Quotes |
| |
(At a shelter, having just put some glop onto a woman's plate)
Riley: I know, it looks like the inside of a Beanie Baby, but it's jammed with protein.
| Riley: Trevor met him at Tres Equis and knew we'd hit it off, it's been this three week whirlwind!
Claire: Three weeks? I've never even heard you mention him!
Riley: Because every time I bring up my love life you point out that I'm re-enacting a co-dependent relationship with a narcissistic father figure, or, or exposing deep-seated trust issues.
Trevor: That does sound like you.
Riley: It's like trying to go to dinner with your Weight Watchers' group leader.
Trevor: This is why you don't have girlfriends.
| (After the hookup he just made turned out to involve a married man)
Claire: Remind me again, you believe you're the God of what?
| (Claire is furious with Trevor for meddling in her friend's love life and getting her involved with a married man)
Claire: How can you do that, it's completely irresponsible?!?
Trevor: You don't understand how horrible I feel! I mean, I couldn't feel worse if I were... impaled on something!?!
Claire: I say let's test that theory!!
| Trevor: I know this is going to come as a shock, but the other people in the world, who are not you, make mistakes!
| Riley: You knew I had no idea he was married, and you just, you watched me get reeled in? You could've given me a heads up!
Kevin: What do you think that 'Hi' was -- you think I make a habit of introducing myself to people I'm photographing?
Riley: Ah, so you waited until you got your money shot to be a decent human being.
Kevin: What, are we girlfriends? It's not really the nature of my job to protect the mistress.
Riley: 'Oh, I was just doing my job' -- is that what you tell yourself when you try to sleep at night?
Kevin: No, to get to sleep I use the same tools every other PI uses: bourbon and phone sex.
| Riley: That is repulsive!
Kevin: Really? Great. Does that mean you're leaving?
Riley: God! Did you get beat up like every day in high school? I swear the second your mouth opens my fists clench!
(drops open his mouth in wiseass fashion)
Riley: (angrily, at his impertinence)Oh, my God!
Kevin: Shouldn't you go roll your little anger ball over to the guy who actually screwed you over?
Riley: I don't actually know what the hell an 'anger ball' is, but I want to throw it at you!
| (Holding a baseball that Trevor "borrowed" from Kevin, the PI, signed by Thurmon Munson)
Felix: You know, my dad proposed to my mom at a Yankees game. How much would you take for this?
Trevor: I thought you, throwing your parents an anniversary party was the anniversary gift?
Felix: Yeah, but I feel like I've got to give them something on top of that, it's their Fortieth Anniversary.
Trevor: Fortieth is 'ruby', not 'baseball'.
| Riley: I don't often get a post-screwover play-by-play about what a jackass I am.
Kevin: I think we can agree that he was the jackass.
| Claire: We need to have a little chat.
Trevor: Why don't you just say 'I need to yell at you' so I don't get my hopes up?
| Trevor: I thought you'd approve. Look, two people who don't trust in love? That's a thing in common -- a 'relationship marker', if you will. And I consider their 'combative initial encounter' subliminal sabotage indicating a latent attraction.
Claire: You've been reading my book?
Trevor: (pulls up book) I'm on chapter four. It's good.
| (Standing up on the stage, making a toast)
Felix: Ahh, boy. I catch a lot of flack. Just a few days ago one of my employees asked, why, given the parade of attractive young ladies that comes in here, and, given that I have such a positive example in my life, my parents, married forty years, today, why, am I still single?
Heckler: (offscreen) 'Cause you don't like girls!
(laughter from crowd)
Felix: Yeah, thank you. Thanks for the support.

Riley: It's like trying to go to dinner with your Weight Watchers' group leader.
Weight Watchers is a group-help program to help people select effective diets and sustain their efforts to lose weight in the face of various social pressures and personal inclinations to violate the diet. While somewhat commonly (and incorrectly) associated with overly obese people it actually reaches out to everyone who would like to eat more healthy and appropriately, and who would like help doing so. It maintains a wide variety of programs including pre-prepared foods meeting specific dietary guidelines available in many grocery stores.
| Felix: Yeah, but I feel like I've got to give them something on top of that, it's their Fortieth Anniversary.
Trevor: Fortieth is 'ruby', not 'baseball'.
In American and British culture, there are "official" themes historically associated with wedding anniversaries (and with anniversaries in general by extension), with increasing valuation on the length of the marriage. For the first anniversary, for example, the theme is paper, and gifts should in some fashion be made of paper or associate with it. The sixth is Iron, the ninth pottery or china, the 25th is silver, the 50th gold, and the 60th is diamond. (There are "traditional" and "modern" variants of this list). While originating with weddings, it also has been extended to other types of anniversaries, too -- for example, the 60th year of Queen Victoria's reign in England was referred to as a "Diamond Jubilee" (this practice can be confusing when referring to an institution such as a university, however, which celebrates its "Diamond Jubilee" in its 75th year in existence)
| Kevin: Hey! I want my baseball!
Trevor: It's Thurmon Munson's baseball. He wrote his name on it.
An obvious reference to the practice of having athletes sign an object from the sport they play. 'Thurmon Munson' was an outstanding baseball player, a catcher, for ten years with the New York Yankees. He died suddenly in 1979 in a private plane crash at age 32, while still an active, successful player and a team captain. The news of his death shocked the nation. The Yankees retired his uniform number, 15.
