“Soon Brooke and Elaine come back from downtown with a number of Century 21
bags”

Not the realtor; founded in 1961, chapter 11 in 2020, but they say they’re
coming back.

P’tcha originally was a kind of aspic made from calves’ feet.

Vegan p’tcha - ?

Aspic - just sounds nasty…but it’s not bad…

“In its simplest form, aspic is essentially a gelatinous version of
conventional soup”



Maxine lobs an easy one to Brooke:

Hey, Brooke?” Maxine eventually. “Pick your brain a minute?”

         A shrug, like, I’ve got a choice?

         “I was out on a date with a guy who says he’s ex-Mossad. I
couldn’t tell if he was
            bullshitting me or what.”


         “Did he take off his right shoe and sock and—”

“Hey, how’d you know?”

         “Any given night in any singles bar in Haifa, you can always find
some loser who’s
            taken a Sharpie and put three dots on the bottom of his heel.
Some old folklore about
            a secret tattoo, total bullshit.”

    “And there are still girls who fall for it?”

         “Didn’t you ever?”

         “Come on, Jews and tattoos? I’m desperate, but not unobservant.”

Yeah, they really are anti-tat - at least, there’s a Curb Your Enthusiasm
episode about that.
