Rowby: "Oh, I hear it! I hear it, it's the bowling alley! We recorded it at Murray's work."Robyn: "Yeah, and they re-recorded it after the fact, but not before this little bit got out. That theft was theft."
Rowby gives her a million little hugs, and there is an incredibly beautiful, adorable moment where Cary pats Marshall on his shoulder in a spontaneous expression of affection and Marshall responds by awkwardly almost-hugging him in a way that is hard to describe but the cutest thing. Everybody is so cute I can't believe it. I knew Matthew Lillard was a good egg after SLC Punk!, which is a movie you would like if you had seen it, but man he is unstoppable now. He really grew into his Lillardness in the most appealing way. I want to just spend a little time with this scene before we move on.
KALINDA
Gets pulled over by Jenna, having been tricked a million times into thinking she was being sincere only to have it bounce back on her, and so she's now avoiding her. With no choice but to be there in that moment with her, Kalinda comes -- for her -- fairly clean. Also, Jenna seems so guileless in this scene, in particular, that I realized I was getting attached to her. There's something very compelling to me about liars telling the truth, but especially when it's to other liars.
Kalinda: "I don't know if I like you."
Jenna: "You like me."
Kalinda: "Maybe, but I don't like your loose-lippin' with that Mob fella. He has it out for me, even if you do not."
Jenna: "You are honestly demanding that I choose between you? You, the Cat Who Walks On Her Own, are gonna pull that shit?"
Kalinda: "Nope, because that's how it sounded to me too, which is why I'm just avoiding you altogether."
Jenna: "I don't have many friends. I can't lose my friends. Lovers leave, friends come through. If you make me pick, I will pick him. But those are not our only options."
Kalinda: "Bleh. I'll think about it. Obviously."
ROWBY
We listen to the song yet one more hundred times, and everybody agrees that this is solid proof. Preston tries to bluff, Alicia calls out Will's ego, and Alicia tells Burl to get his hand out of the cookie jar and admit defeat. They leave, and everybody hands out even more hugs. A quantity of Davids, having whooped up on Goliath from a rat-stinking t-shirt factory somewhere north of hell. Today is their day, today they are champions.
