Friedman, noticing Luke behind them, hushes her, saying in Pig Latin, "Spy in the room." At least, I think that's what he says. Glynis can't tell what he's on about, either. Luke assures them he's not there to spy. In a choked-up voice, he says he's not even in the Science Fair anymore: "FBI confiscated my project." Okay, I can't totally blame Friedman for snorting, I guess. Luke says he's not kidding. Glynis says obsequiously, "I always knew you had what it takes to contravene national security." Oh, settle down, girlie. Luke doesn't even try to milk this, as you just know Iedman-fray would. He mentions the arrest of the mayor and dissolution of city council. They haven't heard about it. Luke can barely be bothered to disguise his contempt: "Wow, you guys are really...anyway, my dad did it. So the FBI seized my computer." Now Jumpsuit Boy's worried: "Wait...they're examining your hard drive? That means --" Luke: "I'm just here to warn you, I'm not taking the fall for your latex fetish." Holy TMI. I remember when high school boys were pretty impressed with plain old naked breasts. Things certainly have changed when they routinely have latex fetishes. Friedman says, "Excuse me," and then to Glynis, who is looking at him uncomfortably, "Scientific interest." You know, for all we know, Glynis could rock a latex catsuit if she ever gets out of the pinafore stage. Not that Friedman deserves it, and not that Luke would take notice. Yeah, stick with the Holly Hobbie wardrobe. Also, I nearly forgot: Shut it, Friedman. Glynis takes one last shot at getting to work with Luke: "We could use another team member for final tweaks..." Luke: "I don't know, Grace wants to build something..." Glynis, skeptically: "Overnight?" Friedman declares, "All we need to win first place is for the frequency of the light flashes to be more stable than the rated frequency of the oscillator." Luke, instantly seduced, asks, "Well, have you tried modulating the drive amplitude?" Frink: "Go, Scotty!" Glynis admits they haven't. Luke straps on some safety glasses as Friedman's testicles shrink into...ew, I'm talking about Friedman's testicles. How did that happen? I think I need to lie down until I stop shuddering. I notice that Friedman takes one last stab at holding Glynis's attention by reaching behind Luke and waving his hand around in front of her face or something. Stop it, Friedman.
Back at the gym, Kevin's playing basketball with the other guys. He gets the ball and whizzes along. Frink cracks, "Travelling!" I don't know what that means but I'm hoping it was funny, since I decided to chance it and put it in here. He sinks a basket. They play for a bit more, and Kevin gets the ball again. Heading for the net, his wheels get snarled with another guy's, and he falls out of the chair again, face first onto the floor. Frink's cringing all over the place, thinking he must have broken his jaw.
