One Last 'Marbles on Television'

[kbobam]

This is a particularly good example of a moment which I think proves my marble 'theory'.
To wit, that marbles are a more significant part of the average person's psyche than one might expect.
This scene is from a dream-sequence, and the guy is spouting random nonsense.
As such, he could have said anything here.  I mean, the possibilities are essentially infinite.
And yet, a marble was mentioned.  The writers wrote it, the editors approved it, and if all these
people are good at their jobs, it could be assumed that it 'worked' for the television audience as well.
Did I say that right?  Do you see what I mean?  ( :

Nicely explicated.
