This week, we’ve got some great stuff from The Celebrity Apprentice, Happy Endings and even, at the bequest of fellow Clacker Michael Noble, something from last week’s CBS Sunday Morning. I’m not kidding, boys and girls, that is just how far the Clique will go to bring you the funny, poignant or shocking.

Alcatraz (Review)
“I’m waiting for Dandruff Guy to show up.” – Soto
“Dandruff guy?” – Madsen
“Hauser’s think tank dudes behind the door. He doesn’t tell me their names so … there’s Dandruff Guy, Two-Shirts, Glasses and the Whistler.” – Soto
“Oh my God, did you hear him last week? He did the entire score of Les Mis.” – Madsen
“Chet, either you pull the manual in the next ten seconds, or I’ll tell Rebecca you own the Twlight movies on Bluray!” – Soto
“You’ve got confirmation Hauser’s human? I’ve met a lot of human. I’ve gotta say, I don’t see it.” – Soto, beating me to the punch as I was writing down a similar comment
“From now I want them all alive! [walks away]” – Hauser
“He does realize he’s the only one who shoots them, right?” – Soto

Happy Endings (Review)
“Oh my God, did you play the valet guy in Ferris Bueller’s?” — Penny
“I didn’t play the valet guy. I am a valet guy. I did that as a personal favor to John Hughes because I used to park his car. Parking cars is my passion. Showbiz is for the birds.” — Guest cameo, Richard Edson
“Neat.” — Penny
“Did not hear that on the DVD commentary.” — Max
“All those summers interning at the John Hughes museum are finally going to pay off!” — Penny
“Penny, I don’t know how many times I have to tell you this – there is no such thing as the John Hughes museum.” — Max
“Ok, Max, then I guess I just went to my softball coach’s basement every day for three summers to watch movies and … oh my God!” – Penny
“Max, look, with every failed relationship, at least you learn something new about yourself. Like when I went out with that male nurse, I learned that I still have a soft spot for dating gay guys. And an actual soft spot. My plates never grew together.” – Penny

“But she’s like a member of our family.” — Colton
“A paid member.” — Jeff
30 Rock (Review)
“None of these little condom accidents could actually make me cry, so I’m gonna rub this under my eyes to help me fake it. It’s an old acting trick I learned from Glenn Beck’s prostitute.” — Jenna
“Jack vs Kaylie round 2, colon, no subtitle necessary.” — Jack
“I misread my calendar. Tomorrow is my colonoscopy. Today was my meeting with Colin O’Scopy.” — Tracy
“My brain is working over time. I finally understand the end of The Sixth Sense; those names are the people who worked on the movie!” – Tracy

“I’d make fun of Sheldon for having girl problems, if I wasn’t shocked that Sheldon has girl problems.” – Leonard
“We’re always the good guys. In D&D, we’re lawful good. In City of Heroes we’re the heroes. In Grand Theft Auto we pay the prostitutes promptly and never hit them with a bat.” – Leonard

Psych (Review)
“Shawn has bent the truth on occasion, but he’s as decent as they come. In fact, he’s the type of guy I’d want my daughter to bring home. Provided he was mostly black. And God-fearing. And she wasn’t really my daughter.” – Gus
