Some things in life just are not even close to staying inside the foul pole at the wall in left field. That list includes writing about a well-written show on cable television for a newspaper-based Web site. The show's writers are bound by nothing.
Oh what a world we'd live in if Best Printable Line was actually Best Line Regardless of Content. Of course, Ari Gold would win every week and he would have won about 11 times over during this past episode.
Alas, we are bound by honor and reprintability. So, after writing down every line from the show on a separate piece of paper and putting them in the cursing colander to filter out the unusable ones, we here at "Entourage, the blog" (OK, it's really "I" here at "Entourage, the blog" but I am both of and for the people) are still left with Ari Gold standing tall.
Barbara Miller (you may remember her from the Mandy Moore episodes last season), the sultry yet mighty super agent played by Beverly D'Angelo, cons Ari into a lunch meeting that includes his ex-boss Terrance. Ari is enraged by the Miller double-cross.
She then shows up at the Ari Gold emergency crisis summit lunch at the Hamburger Hamlet. Ari, in true Ari Gold fashion says, "Hey, Babs, the Traitorous Skanks Anonymous meeting is next door."
Wow. And printable!

hey
in either a 2nd or 3rd season episode ends with a hip hop tune with the refrain "victory is mine" - who is this?
