If you had ever smelled her hair, you would know she is worth at least one more try. She is an angel. She is a goddess. And she's waiting for you in the bathroom./I've been rehearsing this for months. Daphne, there's something we need to talk about. It's a matter of - Daphne, for a long time now I, uh, you and I - we - exactly how's the brandy getting here, by St Bernard??/Well, my muffin's stuck!

The tango danced in this episode it's quite different from the tango we dance here(Argentina and Uruguay) sadly I don't know how to do it. I don't recognize the songs I mean it's not a famous tango song
I find this in wikipedia tha explains a little the difference between tango styles: Argentine, Uruguayan and Ballroom Tango use very different techniques and vocabularies, to the point where some consider them related in name only. In Argentine tango, the body's center moves first, then the feet reach to support it. In ballroom tango, the body is initially set in motion across the floor through the flexing of the lower joints (hip, knee, ankle) while the feet are delayed, then the feet move quickly to catch the body, resulting in snatching or striking action that reflects the staccato nature of this style's preferred music. In Argentine Tango, the "close embrace" involves continuous contact at the full upper body, but not the legs. In American Ballroom tango, the "close embrace" involves close contact in the pelvis or upper thighs, but not the upper body. Followers are instructed to thrust their hips forward, but pull their upper body away, and shyly look over their left shoulder when they are led into a "corte."In Argentine tango open position, the legs may be intertwined and hooked together, in the style of Pulpo (the Octopus). In Pulpo's style, these hooks are not sharp, stacco ganchos, but smooth ganchos. In Argentine Tango, the ball or toe of the foot may be placed first. Alternately, the dancer may take the floor with the entire foot in a cat-like manner. In the International style of Tango, "heel leads" (stepping first onto the heel, then the whole foot) are used for forward steps. Ballroom tango steps stay close to the floor, while the Argentine Tango includes moves such as the boleo (allowing momentum to carry one's leg into the air) and gancho (hooking one's leg around one's partner's leg or body) in which the feet travel off the ground. Argentine Tango features other vocabulary foreign to ballroom, such as the parada (in which the leader puts his foot against the follower's foot), the arrastre (in which the leader appears to drag or be dragged by the follower's foot), and several kinds of sacada (in which the leader displaces the follower's leg by stepping into her space). So the way we dance it's the argentine tango that is also dance here in Uruguay and the way danced in Moondance is the ballroom tango I also think the tune is different the ballroom tanfgo it's 4/4 measure and the other one is 2/4 (this means the speed of the music) I hope this was helpful

^Wow! Thanks. I never knew there was such a difference it really does sound like different dances). I really want to learn the Argentine tango now. Looks like I'll have to practice my Spanish and head down there!
Anyway, this is one of my favorite episodes ever. The story is wonderful and it's so quote-heavy. I like to pretend Daphne isn't really acting at the end, but that she's to scared to admit it. I love how she actually asks him out in this one.
