Clay Graham wrote this story where Tony and Angela meet a couple who got together 46 years ago, and they imagine themselves as the couple's younger selves.  As with Angela dreaming she's Tony's Brooklyn wife, Light and Danza are able to be more physically and emotionally demonstrative than usual.  T & A decide that their slow pace is all right for them because they're happy.  (More than once, the script says they've been together seven years, when it's more like six and a half.)  We get another surreal tag, where slow-dancing in the living room makes everything turn to black & white, like in the older couple's story.

Brenda Varda, who plays the airheaded checker Lizzie, would be a Lawyer on Ellen a few years later.  Note that in the flashback, Ernie plays Ralph, the actor's real name.
