Unfortunately, these are the syndicated versions, which to avoid having to
pay licensing fees took out all the familiar songs and replaced them with
generic library music, which means that some episodes -- especially the one
where the Russian defects, which uses Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" as a plot
point -- don't make nearly as much sense anymore. I think the dubs on that
episode in particular are done David Mamet-style: they must have
deliberately used the most nonsensical phrases they could to make it
obvious that it was a dub. I mean, "Hold my order, terrible dresser?" The
hell?
