Jim, back me up this time!
Hey! You DA MAN again.

I only hope you're not toying with me this time.

Sounds like reality to me. You know, variety is the spice of life, and all that...

That's one of my fondest memories of AOD - having a DD roll right up to your position, have you in the palm of his hand...and then keep right on rolling because he didn't realize you were there. Of course the next one might be the proverbial Dead-Eye Dick, and not only know your exact location but your depth down to the precise millimeter.
