Episode Guide-A Truly Fractured Fairy Tale


      Original Air date:October 17, 1998

      Plot

      Claire begins receiving mystery gifts at her door. She gets more and more curious as time goes by, until she finally installs a video camera at the door. The prince Charming of her imagination turns out to be a wrong caller. In the meantime, Trevor tries to match up a girl with the love of her fantasies, straight off of a billboard. Sometimes the fantasy is better than the truth. Champ also learns a lot about the ad business. Very little goes right in this episode, but lessons are learned all the way around.

      Quotes

      Mike: This was... (trying to find the words) It was magical. It never happened like this before. Our eyes met, we knew we were destined to be together. We lived a whole lifetime in one night. Then the next day she called and cancelled our date to go to a wedding.
      Claire: Well, it sounds like a legitimate excuse.
      Mike: Her own wedding!

      Claire:Note to self. Have Trevor speak at my "alienating your peers" seminar.

      Trevor: It must be heavy.
      Claire: What?
      Trevor: Carrying that soapbox around with you.

      Trevor: I need re-enforcements. This is recon into unfamiliar territory. What will it take to get you out there with me?
      Champ: Chloroform.

      Claire: He's a man in a picture, Trevor, okay. She doesn't know him. She's gonna get hurt.
      Trevor: He promised no more sticking women on slave ships and selling them in foreign ports.

      Trevor, on the phone with Claire.
      Oh, I love it when you talk like that. All breathy schoolgirl, I can practically smell the knee socks.

      Trevor: Yeah, that's me. I put the "screw" in "scrupulous".
