Mark then tries to educate the kid in the history of science fiction pre-1977, but finally gives up when the kid says "I like Men in Black."
Mark and Dan are discussing their relationships. Dan says, "I think between me and Cheryl things are different." Mark replies, "No. No different." Dan says, "Now you sound like Yoda." "That's 'cause it's the only way I can get your attention," says Mark. ("No. No different" was Yoda's reply to Luke when he protested that lifting his X-wing fighter was "totally different" from lifting small stones, as he had been doing.)
Dan has made an awkward, embarrassing attempt to ask out a waitress and give her his number. Sensing failure, he says to Mark, "Maybe she's a lesbian." "That's the spirit," says Mark. "After you've asked the waitress out and she's said no, the next words out of your mouth must always be, 'Maybe she's a lesbian.' I'm proud of you, man, really."

After Mark has been totally taken by a surprise thirtieth birthday party, including a William Shatner rap of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar and a dancing Orion slave girl, he comments to Mark, "I don't believe it." Robert pats him on the shoulder and says, "And that... is why you fail," once again quoting Yoda.
