[edit] Ending Epilogue

"Don't you hate 'to be continued' on TV. It's horrible when you sense the 'to be continued' coming. You know, you're watching the show. You're into the story. There's like five minutes left and suddenly you realize, 'Hey, they can't make it. Timmy's still stuck in the cave. There's no way they wrap this up in five minutes.' I mean, the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I want a long boring story with no point to it, I have my life. A comedian can't do that, see. I can't go, 'A man walks into a bar with a pig under his arm... Can you come back next week?"
