…talking about Eric setting up Dani with his brother David and being almost-in-laws.

QL: You are engaged to Eric’s Brother.
Dani. I am. David. He’s known as ‘Eric’s Brother’ but he has a name. It’s David.
QL: And he kinda hooked you guys up, right?
Dani: Eric, kinda tended to invite me to every place he knew his brother would be.
QL: Strategedly placing the brother.
Dani: I guess he got to know my taste when he joined the show because I’m not shy about what I appreciate in a man.
QL: What do you appreciate in a man?
Eric: Why don’t you go into that with some detail?
Dani: I’m just gonna say what you said… what did you say?
Eric: I just knew that what it is that you said you wanted and what it is that he said he wanted and you guys would be such a prefect pair.
Dani: He said ‘You should meet my brother because he’s what you like. He likes Brunettes with big shoulders.’ Is what you said. And I went ‘Ooh. That sounds liek a prefect match.’
Eric: And happily ever after they are.

…telling the Hilarious Story of How Dani’s Son was Born

Dani: Oh man, I wonder if my water broke. It’s three weeks early from the due date at this point. So, I get in my car and I drive to their house because we were going to lunch.
QL: This story is stressing me out.
Dani: I’m in no pain. I’m in no distress. What so ever. I’m probably in complete denial at this point so as I said I get in the car and I drive to his house. [gasp in the audience] I know, I know, I know…
Eric: So ladies when your water brakes just cruise on over. I got your back. I’m all gonna get you some nipple cream… tampon pads…
QL: And a widwife.
Dani: Well..
Eric: No. Tell the story.
Dani: Anyway. I go over to his house and the boys had gone motorcycle riding in the morning and Dave was already there so I go over there and I walk in and his wife Sarah says ‘Oh, I think your belly dropped.’ that tends to happen before the baby comes.
Eric: Cos she’s a doctor.
Dani: Well, no, but she had a baby four and half months before so she knew… and I was like ‘Ah, you think? Cos also my panties are wet.’ and she was like ‘Dani, I think maybe your water broke you should call the doctor.’ And I was in complete denial. Thought it can’t be it was three weeks early. As if that never happens. Anyway, I called a doctor, she confirmed it.
Eric: A disaster! In the meantime I’m buying Hot Sauce at Ralph’s.
Dani: I was like ‘Hey, Sarah, I didn’t bring a change with me. Do you have a pad or something I could use to protect myself with’ and she goes ‘No, I don’t I just had a baby and not using them right now.’ so she calls Eric and she goes ‘Eric, can you get Dani some pads. Some like heavy flow pads.
QL: Eric knows all about this stuff. He’s an expert now.
Dani: And he goes ‘Tampon Pads?’ and Sarah goes ‘No, no, those are distinctively two different things.’ in the meantime she’s standing outside the door of the bathroom where I’m sitting and I’m going ‘What is he asking?’ and she was ‘He thinks it’s the same thing. It’s ok. He’ll bring the right thing. Don’t worry.’ And that’s the story of my son being born.

…Talk About Stealing Lines on the Show

QL: You guys are really funny, going back and forth, taking jabs at each other. Do you go on each others nerves?
Dani: [surpresses a moan]
Eric: NO! [beat] Wait? Do we?
Dani: What? Noooo…
Eric: Yeah, we have this thing on the show a lot of the times they write the last line of a scene on NCIS and then it ends with like [imitates camera clicking] and that’s the end of the scene so it goes out with this nice black and white photo. And so what happens is that they write one for her, like she’ll have the last line, and then I’ll always improve something afterwards.
Dani: And it drives me nuts! Because – I’m vain. I like to have that last moment on camera, you know the last thing people see before you go into commercial or something. It’s always a positive thing I think a lot of people… you know what I’m talking about. HE obviously knows what I’m talking about.
Eric: There was one that actually aired last week and she had the last line… you remember what it was.
Dani: Yeah, it was somehting along the lines of… there stole five tubes of explosives and they only used one.
Eric: Let’s do our characters. I’ll squint.
Dani: And clinch. I’ll just eat like a pig. That’s what Kensi does.
Eric: Evidently. Keep going.
Dani: So I say… they’ve stole five tubes of explosives they’ve only used one. What are they gonna use on the other four?
Eric: And that’s the end of the scene. Except for I go: That’s a damn good question. And that it goes to me and it goes che-ching, che-ching, che-ching…. and you see me smiling like this and she goes – NAAAHH !!
Dani: The thing he says like after I… cos I’m suppossed to say it like ‘What are they gonna use the other four on?’ and then I walk away. And he goes ‘That’s a damn good question.’ Right in the camera. And I’m off camera going [insert fight gestures] You bastard. Dare you. Let me have the last one.
Eric: And because she reacts like that *of couse* I continue to do it.
Dani: There was another one. There was one line in the scene. We stopped the bad guy. We had out guns turned on him and then I’ll say ‘Federal Agents. Hands where we can see them.’ He takes a beat and goes ‘You heard the lady.’
