Just my luck. Work kept me away from the original 10 p.m. airing of the season finale of "Entourage" and now I have to spend the first hours of Monday morning sifting through the best written episode of the season for "Best Printable Line."
Great lines were flying in all directions in the season finale. Turtle had a few. Ari had a few. Even Lloyd and E came through with quotable material.
But, after careful analysis, Week 12's BPL goes to Drama.
He locked it up early in the episode when he was trying to explain to Vince and the guys that they should meet with other agents before firing Ari.
"Nobody appreciates their girlfriend til they get herpes from the next broad, know what I'm saying?" Drama said.
Just a brilliant line and delivered in classic Drama fashion. I immediately lost it when I first heard that line. Of course, I also immediately knew we'd have a tie for Big Knish Award, given to the season-long winner of Best Printable Line.
I tried to find a Turtle or Ari that could top Drama's just to avoid that awkward "Bud Selig I guess we have a tie" shoulder shrug. Turtle came close with his printable "I'll give them 10 for amenities . . . " but that would have been forcing the issue only to avoid a tie.
That's just not ethical. That would be like an 3-12 NFL team intentionally tanking the last game of the season just to ensure the No. 1 pick in the draft.
So, we're left with a tie as Turtle and Ari split the Big Knish Award. We'll have a ceremonial blog posting on Tuesday celebrating their co-victory.

Yes, Drama's line was good but I gotta give Turtle another nod for the reference to yet another Godfather line, "Leave the gun, take the cannoli". It doesn't get more NY than that!!
