Annie leaves, only to be replaced by Simon, who asks his dad for fifty dollars for dinner. "Taking the whole family out?" RevCam asks. "No!" Simon says, as if he can't believe RevCam would even suggest such a thing. He says he's only taking Georgia. RevCam thinks this would be a good time to ask Simon if he's having sex with Georgia. Simon asks for money again. "Are you having sex?" RevCam replies. Once RevCam's mind is on sex, you just can't change it to anything else, Simon, which you should know by now. "I just want to take her to dinner!" Simon says. "So you can have sex?" RevCam asks. Simon says that these days, unlike in "the twenties," you don't need to buy a woman dinner to have sex with her. You can have sex for free! And, Simon adds, he and Georgia are going dutch on the meal anyway. RevCam gets all jealous because his son gets to take women on hundred-dollar dinners and he can't even afford to take his wife to Bennigan's. One of the reasons why the CamRents are so low on funds, says RevCam, is that they have to pay for Simon's school. Simon responds that he helps pay for college, and he got a "partial scholarship." Oops! RevCam didn't know about this before. Simon says he just got it. RevCam asks if Simon was planning on just pocketing the money his parents were sending him. Simon gets angry and says he'll just go and pay for his dinner from the money in his savings -- "like the last time." Oops again! It turns out that Simon's been driving down to Glenoak with Georgia all throughout the school year. Adding insult to injury, Simon's already met Georgia's parents. RevCam says he doesn't remember Simon being in town during the school year. Simon says that's because he didn't tell them. Simon says he can't introduce RevCam to all his conquests. RevCam can't believe that Simon would drive hours from school and not say hello to his family. I can believe it, and I think it might have something to do with the fact that his family couldn't even be bothered to drive him to school; they sent him on a bus. And then, right after he left, they replaced him with Martin. And I don't recall anyone going to visit Simon up at school. I can see why Simon was maybe a little resentful.
RevCam asks Simon his real question: "What about Asslee?" Simon doesn't want to answer. RevCam says he wants to talk to Simon and catch up with him after not really seeing much of him this summer. There are a couple of things RevCam wants to ask him. Simon just glares at him. The standoff ends when RevCam has to answer the phone. It's Ruthie, and RevCam has to pick her up from school. He tells Simon to bring Georgia over for dinner, and after she leaves, they can talk about Asslee. And some other stuff.
