Then Lucy notices that Mary is getting dressed up for dinner. Yeah, except that Mary is putting on a dowdy collared shirt. Mary claims that she is sweaty from shooting baskets, but Lucy and I both notice that her perfect make-up shows that she is lying. Lucy claims that Mary wants Gee. Mary says no, she wants to be clean. Lucy fires back with "Clean, shmean." Someone needs to take some comeback lessons from Mrs. Camden, I think. Then Lucy suggests taking the compatibility test in her magazine to figure out who is right for Gee. Mary also needs some comeback lessons, because she just says, "Maybe we shouldn't." At least she did it with a kind of funny Valley Girl accent. Lucy takes the test by herself, because she is pathetic.
Now we're in Simon's room, where Ruthie is brattily making fun of Simon for moving back to her room. For no apparent reason, Matt is there too. RevCam walks in with Gee and introduces him to the boys. Simon notices that Gee has a laptop and is way too impressed. Then he tries to claim that you can do "instant email across the ocean" with it, which is true, except you also need an ISP and modem just like all the other, less cool desktop computers. Simon and Eric leave, and Gee creepily approaches Matt and asks him about picking up women. Gee says that he knows some airline stewardesses he could call and set up a double date. Matt turns this down, because he already has a date tonight. Um, no, Matt, you don't. Stop lying. Gee asks about tomorrow night, and Matt approves. Then Matt says "Excellente!" except that, like an idiot, he says it the Spanish way and not the French way; the Accordion of Frenchness plays, and Matt thankfully leaves. Simon comes in and once again drills Gee about the laptop and all the rules in the house about laptops and internet use. Gee says he thinks the internet is too complicated for him, making Gee either stupid or old. And the old guy left long ago, so he's just stupid. He should fit right in at the CamPound. Simon tries to tell us how he knows all about the internet, saying it's a good way to "meet chicks." Right about now, I am hoping that Simon would go find one of those "chicks" he's been "meeting" online and get murdered so I don't have to see him in this episode anymore. Gee also feels this way, because he says he wants to wash up and eat Annie's sandwich, and he leaves.
Out in the hall, Gee flirtatiously waves at Mary and Lucy and then bumps into Ruthie, who again lectures him on the proper pronunciation of her name. And we all know that Ruthie is just the queen of pronouncing things the right way, so this is not at all hypocritical. Gee again chooses not to smack her, showing just how much more self-control he has than me. Then he goes into the bathroom. But wait a minute, he's not washing up at all! He's smoking! As he puffs out the window, he says "stupid americains." And yes, Gee, they are stupid, but so are you for thinking that opening a window and standing next to it will completely air out the cigarette smoke. Unless all the Camdens have sinus infections and can't smell anything, you are caught. The Guitar of Bad Foreigners plays us into a commercial.
