Emily and Physical Phil in “Unfinished Business”

Emily

I can't believe I don't get to meet your parents tonight.

Physical Phil

And I can't believe you made a reindeer out of a soda can. He's beautiful.

Emily

"He"?

Physical Phil

Santa's reindeer are all male.

Emily

Are not.

Physical Phil

They have strong, masculine names like Dancer, Dasher, Prancer, Comet.

Emily

Nope. No sale, bub. Male reindeer lose their antlers long before December 25th, while females retain theirs until January.

Emily

So the reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh are always shown with antlers, which makes them female.

Physical Phil

See, now, I could argue that, and we could get into this whole disputation on gender bias in caribou, or I could simply rejoice in the fact that my girlfriend possesses that kind of arcane knowledge.

Emily

And I could rejoice in the fact that you just called me your girlfriend.

Physical Phil

Well, you are. You are the wind beneath my hooves.
