Footnotes

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 originally aired in Soul Mate
  2. 2.0 2.1 originally aired in Emerald Isle
  3. originally aired in Soul Mate except he's John there.
  4. originally aired in Emerald Isle as 2 separate segments, 31:10 and 45:10
  5. the voice is faint; I think it's she.
  6. This is an extended version of the speech originally aired in Pretender
  7. This segment would fit best into this show if Fionnula Flanagan is the speaker; it's most of a piece with her coming on to Joe at the beginning and the prior segment. It'd be simplest if it were recorded the same time as Emerald Isle, but that was 1988, Pretender was 1986. Maybe it doesn't fit; I don't see how this segment fit in Pretender.
  8. I think it's the same as used in Just Get Me Out Of Here - the theme, how much she loves the person she's speaking to, would fit.
