EverQuest II: "You had me at Hail!"

For those of you that didn't catch the reference, it's a Jerry Maguire joke.
I was playing EQ2 last night. And I was working on a quest called "Tour of Antonica". In EQ2 Antonica is a HUGE zone outside the city gates of Qeynos. The quest requires you to find or visit a laundry list of tourists attractions scattered throughout the zone including Holly Windstalker's grave, Fippy's Hill, and the Hidden Valley (which is the equivalent of old Surefall... bears and all).
When you're done visiting all these locales you return to the librarian that gave you the quest and extole the virtues of your adventure.
The Joke, well, I'm not sure where it came from. It just hit me while I was running between a couple of the tour spots. At the time, I thought I remembered the librarian being a female. But, when I was done and realized it was a male, the joke seemed all the more humorous to me.
I could just picture the whole thing in my head: Vhah is babbling on an on (a la Tom Cruise) and the librarian stops him and lets him know that all the yammering was unnecessary (a la Renée Zellweger).
**shrugs and grins**
I thought it was funny.
