Dale,
My problem with the above post and the discussions that followed it on this board and other(s) has to do with "I can't provide further context". From this. we had no way of judging source or the accuracy of the quote. You could have overheard it at the water cooler, copied it from IMDB, or read it out of a transcript. The context in which you found the quote is often as important to solving the mystery as the context OF the quote.
Eventually, on WW, you admitted that you got the quote from watching the episode yourself but you don't remember a single detail or even generality about the program other than this supposedly "exact" quote. Yet when people had earlier suggested fare and fairy, you were resistent to the possiblity of a misquote.
I am now going to suggest that, for all you know, the poor guy could have been "afire".
