It's hard to pick favorite examples of Dave n' Maddie Banter, but this episode has got some of the very best.
It's late on a Friday afternoon, and nothing much is going on around the office. David is watching The Bride of Frankenstein on television, and Maddie wants to leave early. David suggests that they go do something together, but it turns out they can't agree on what to do: they can't agree on a restaurant, they can't agree on a film, and they can't agree on a nightclub, so they cancel the whole idea.
Then, a client walks in, Mr. Alan Tupperman. He's looking for a wife. He says he's never met the right woman, but he has a list of qualities that he's looking for. He gives the list to David and Maddie and offers to hire them to find the woman who meets his description.
Again Maddie and David disagree, first on whether to take the case at all, and then, after they take the case, they disagree on what Tupperman's list means. Finally, they agree to disagree: each of them goes separately in search of someone who will match the list, and let Mr. Tupperman decide between the two candidates.
When the dust settles, Maddie and David are each sure that theirs is Tupperman's perfect woman, and of course the two women are completely different. Maddie and David gloat at each other, sure that Tupperman will pick the woman that each of them has found … until they learn that Tupperman has picked them both, and was already married when he came to see them.
