Meeting the Ex
By Mark La Monica
It may very have been the most perfectly acted scene in the history of "Entourage." Not the funniest, just so we're clear, but the most perfectly acted.
E runs into Sloan at the pool at the W Hotel in Westwood while he's flirting with Heather the hot British chick.
He approached Sloan to say hello. It was awkward. Always is. The dialogue went like this:
E: "Sloan, this is Juliette."Heather: "Heather."
E: "Wow. Really."
It continued from there, but you get the point. It always happens that way. You never get anything right the first time you run into an ex, except of course for the ex's name.
Why?

Where do we start this week?
By Mark La Monica
It had been a crazy seven-day, 489-hour week of work for me, one of those weeks where you know on Tuesday that the only time you'll have to relax is on Sunday night at 10 p.m.
Praying for a memorable 30-minute break from reality (OK, 25-27 minutes) the past six days, the good people of "Entourage" answered those prayers.
They delivered with one of those random plotline episodes (except for Ari Gold and the private school) that maximizes the escapism I was seeking.
So, here we go with random thoughts from this episode, the title of which does not agree with Best Printable Line guidelines.

Entourage 4/7: Best Printable Line
By Mark La Monica
With great dialogue being spewn every other line in this episode, the Sunday night Best Printable Line judges had to sift through and find words that were actually printable.
After a brief consult with the BPL magistrate, we decided that Drama produced the line that was both the best and printable.
As the guys debate E's ability to have non-emotional sex, Drama finally put his foot down and staked his claim to this week's BPL, his first of Season 4.
"All people need to get laid, except that whackjob who only needs a good book, a cup of tea and a nice long hug."
Well done, Drama.
Entourage 4/7: Writer Props

Will the person or persons who sat in on the creation of this episode and said, "Let's put Turtle in a giant pink bunny outfit" please show yourself immediately?
You are in need of being interviewed. And we are in need of paying postage to send you your Writer Props for this week.

Saigon returns, sort of
Saigon, everyone's favorite rapper from "Entourage," will be part of the Black August Hip-Hop Project 10th Anniversary party at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square on August 26.
Worth looking into tickets, just to say you did.
Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Dead Prez will also be there.
That is worth purchasing tickets, which are $30 and go on sale July 26 through Ticketmaster, 631-888-9000.
No word on whether Drama will be dangled from the top floor of the Nokia.

Our savior Ari Gold
By Mark La Monica
He makes things happen. Some bad, some good, all hilarious.
He says a lot of things. Some bad, some good, all hilarious.
He shows emotion. Some bad, some good, all hilarious.
He's Ari Gold, our Sunday night savior.

Entourage 4/6: Best Printable Line
By Mark La Monica
The next time you broker a deal at work or negotiate a truce with your wife or mediate a dispute between friends, you will use this line.
That is the essence of Best Printable Line. And for the third time in four weeks, Ari Gold embodies the true spirit of the BPL.
After getting Heath Ledger off the "Lost in the Clouds" project and replacing him with Vincent Chase and the "Medellin Dream Team," he tells E to go meet with Dana Gordon.
E balks at working with Walsh again. Ari is having none of that lip from E when he ends the conversation with, "I parted the Red Sea for you, E. Don't piss on the sand."
Footnote Mr. Gold accordingly upon your frequent usage of that line this week. And that dude at cafepress who keeps creating new shirts based off "Entourage" each week, feel free to print my URL on the left sleeve of that shirt.

Entourage 4/6: Writer Props I

Ranking high among Ari Gold's many brilliant acts of lunacy, anger and tyranny is his firing of the mailroom kid in Season 2.

Entourage 4/6: Writer Props II
By Mark La Monica
I had been hypothesizing this week that Harvey somehow copied the "Medellin" trailer during his screening with E and leaked it on YouTube to get back at the boys for shafting him yet again.
The Entourage writers had a better idea. That's why they write the show and I write about the show.
