And here's another belated answer to Lee's "Do you ever laugh when 
you're alone?" Walking along an empty street by myself this 
afternoon, I replayed the following in my head, and was reduced to 
helpless, envious laughter:


POEHLER AS COURIC: "But again, and not to belabor the point. One 
specific thing."

(several seconds of FEY and POEHLER staring at each other)

FEY AS PALIN: "Katie, I'd like to use one of my lifelines."

POEHLER AS COURIC: "I'm sorry?"

FEY AS PALIN: "I want to phone a friend."

POEHLER AS COURIC: "You don't have any lifelines."

FEY AS PALIN: "Well in that case... I'm gonna just hafta get back t'ya!"
