Pacey's Mustang. Audrey and Pacey are circling the block, looking for a parking spot. Audrey wonders why Joey got dropped off at the door and she has to drive all over creation with him. "It's all part of the deal," Pacey shrugs. "What deal would that be?" Pacey blushes and stutters that "it's all part of our arrangement we got going." Nice grammar, Pace. Blah blah blah, Pacey wants to start thinking about whether or not Audrey wants to wear his pin and be his steady girl. "Twenty-seven. Twenty-seven men," Audrey blurts out. "What?" Pacey spits, and promptly rear-ends the car in front of them. I don't think I even knew twenty-seven boys when I was eighteen.
Grams's. Jen opens the front door to reveal a dapper older black man. "Can I help you?" she asks. "You must be Jennifah," the man says. "I'm Clifton." ["That's my grandfather's name. Shout-out? No, probably not." -- Sars] Jen furrows her brow. "Your grandmother told me you were very beautiful, but I guess words can't convey a thing like that," Clifton says. This convinces Jen to let him inside, just as Jack is bounding downstairs. "Dawson?" Clifton wonders. Jack vomits, and then corrects him. "Jack? The homo-sexual? Nice to meet you," Clifton offers. Hee. Clifton explains that Grams invited him to join them for the screening. Speaking of, Grams sails into the frame and right into Clifton's arms. "Ah, Mr. Smalls," she purrs. "I see introductions have been made." And then she kisses him! On the lips! Go Grams! Jen looks shocked and horrified at the sight of Grams kissing anyone. Jack surreptitiously smacks her shoulder and plasters a fake smile on his face. "Get a hold of yourself, Jennifah," Grams advises. Oh, dear Grams. I adore you. Clifton Smalls stands there and looks pleased to have landed such a honey. Jen is gobsmacked. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry," she stutters. "What…what was that? That you were doing with…the kissing? Why would…? You did -- did you? Young lady, do you have a boyfriend? Clifton, are you my Grams's boyfriend?" Heh. Clifton is smoooooth. "Yes, I am," he says. "I think. Aren't I?" Grams coos that he is. "Oh my goodness!" Jen says. "What? Why? Did this just slip your mind? Is this something that you just forgot to mention to me?" Jack wonders if he and Cliff ought to leave the two of them alone. "Because we can do that." Heh, part deux. Jen elbows him, and then turns to Clifton. "Clifton, what do you do?" she asks. "You have got to be kidding me," Grams mutters. Clifton tells Jen that he's a geometry teacher, and a widower. "All right! All right! Do you approve? May we leave now?" Grams asks. Jen reluctantly agrees to go.
