Las Vegas/Awesome
Awesome Moments in Las Vegas include:
- Ed Deline has several over the run of Las Vegas, but one of his best comes after an episode where a developer has falsely accused Danny McCoy of raping her, but secretly offered to drop the charges if Ed would help her get approval for a project in Burma. Near the end of the episode, Ed picks up the phone right after Danny leaves the room and says he needs a favor. Cut to Ed's meeting with the developer, where he calmly informs her that her project in Burma has been cancelled. And two others. And the condo in Jersey. And the board of her country club would probably like to have a word with her. And she'd better not use her credit cards. She agrees to drop the charges. When Danny asks Ed if he had anything to do with it, he reminds Danny he needs plausible deniability.
- There's one moment that perfectly combines this trope, Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, and Crowning Moment of Funny. A city inspector has shut down Delinda's restauraunt after she turned him down for a date. Ed and Dee go to his hotel room to "correct" him. Cue "Big Ed" Deline teaching his willowy daughter how to beat the crap out of the guy.
Delinda: Do I punch him like this, Daddy? |
- Then there's Sam kicking her would-be rapist out of his own airplane right after he belts her in securely so he can rape her.
- After an episode-long bomb threat, Nessa punches the bomber in the face the second she gets the all-clear.
- The team gets psychologically evaluated. When it's Delinda's turn, she asks the evaluator which of several psychological theories he's going to use, complete with pros and cons of each one, before telling the poor guy she used to be a psych major. "Are we done?"
