Teddy: [To Alex in reference to talk show debut] “Break a leg.”

Anyone who is in theater is well aware that saying “Good Luck” is bad luck, so instead, meaning the same thing, “Break a leg”.

In this episode, Mitch resurrects the “Lobster Bouquet”. Since he’s in the seafood business, instead of bringing a dozen roses, or a more traditional gift for the love of his life - he bring them a lobster wrapped up.
