I love it! You are brilliant. And the summary is great too. Tennis, though? Horse racing is the sport of kings, I thought.

Any number of sports have been known at one time or another as the sport of kings - racing is the most recent, but see also bowls and, of course, falconry. Casey is talking of real tennis, which was the sport of kings in France, at least, and to which Henry VIII was addicted; he's popularly said to have been playing a game at the time of Anne Boleyn's execution. Dana is not as smart as she would like to think she is. Nor, for that matter, is Casey (who thinks that Napoleon died on Elba). Or Jeremy (who can't pronounce 'Marquis'). Or any Sorkin character, since Sorkin evidently thinks that research is something that happens to other people.

Who needs research when you've got charm? Oh, Aaron.

I really enjoyed this! :)

I'm very happy to hear that. Thank you!

So much funny in this!

I love that curling would send viewers running, but bridge, if read by Dan and Casey, would have no effect on the ratings. Poor misunderstood Canadian sport. Although, I don't blame people for tuning in to see Dan and Casey regardless of subject matter.

Danny makes a good hero. And if he gets a little beat up along the way and is a little bit of a woobie too, you won't see me complaining. Especially not if Casey's properly appreciative and willing to help a poor concussed boy out. Which he is because he is lovely in this.

Loved all the bits involving characters not Dan and Casey too.
