Ling and Nelle say a few things about "friends" and "talking" but they don't really have a conversation. Lucy didn't even have time to get her Charlie's Angels eye-liner off before her one line. D-Girl tells Richard that she lies in bed thinking about "that night" all the time. "Regretting it." MALE FANTASY ALERT: "When this is over? I was hoping you could give me a little something to regret again." What is with the women on this show? DEK: Women are not like what you see on American Pie.
Elaine is unpacking her new office as Ally walks in. She looks like Strawberry Shortcake's Ho Phase. Ally tells Elaine that John and Richard never knew about a paralegal job. She asks what Nelle "needed" from Elaine. Elaine realizes that she had the passwords. Ally says that she didn't just download the passwords, she deleted them from their computers. She stole the files.
John is pouring water. It never gets old, does it? John asks Nelle a few questions using the word "indicated" thirteen times. Nelle brings up the hairbrush AGAIN. Bulldog hears John's nose whistle. Creepy Teeth tries to get John to not insult Nelle, as Nelle says something that my cable company censored. That was weird. There is bickering until Bulldog tries to interrupt, and John says, "Oh, pipe down, Bulldog!" and then there's a shot of Bulldog while we hear a dog growling and whining for a while. Ally walks Elaine into the room. Ally says that Elaine "decided to switch...lawyers." The pause was there for her self-satisfied smirk. Sixteen blissful seconds of silence as the oboe ushers me to commerical.
Elaine tells Bulldog a recap of the past forty-five minutes. But without my wit. Ha. D-Girl says that if Elaine was duped by Nelle, how does she not know she's being duped by Ally right now. She says that Nelle offered her the job because she thinks she's the most qualified. "Really?" Elaine asks. Ally shakes her head. Bulldog says she's heard enough and is going to come back with her decision. Seven seconds of really good silence while people stare at each other.
John practices his dismount in the Unisex. Richard tells him that he doesn't want John in the room if there's any more testimony. He says that John is out of control with the "Balls" yelling and stuff. How come only John gets in trouble for acting this way when Ally continues to get a paycheck? They yell at each other about how this is all John's fault anyway. "The hairbrush. The clicker. The walking-around-calling-her-a-witch!" Richard tells John to go home and get some rest. John pushes Richard and says, "You go home." Third-graders outside my door shout, "That is so lame. Like, so kindergarten, man." Richard says, "John, I don't know your problem. But don't ever, ever push me again." John huffs and pushes Richard again. Richard pushes John. John pushes Richard. Richard pushes John. End of scene. Really. I don't know. No cap. Just the pushing, all slow and with build-up music for nothing.
