Docuventary clip: out on the street, Ben and Javier are heading off to the library to cram for the INS test, which is in a few days. Ben asks Javier who the pilgrims were, and Javier answers correctly. They happen upon a table that is set up on the street for voter registration. The woman at the table, who is the long, lost daughter of Bernie from Room 222 -- complete with the massive red 'fro -- asks Javier whether he's registered to vote. Javier explains that he's just about to take his citizenship test and won't be able to vote in this election. She wishes him luck and Javier gushes that he loves her. The woman asks Ben whether he is planning to vote. When Ben says he isn't, Javier gives him hell. Ben tries to drop the subject, but Javier calls him a "pineapple head" and says that if Ben does vote, he should vote "hippocrat." I'm with Javier on this one. It's the eve of the American presidential election and the Canadian federal election. All you readers who are eligible to vote, please make sure you vote this year. Both countries are facing horrible futures if either of them elect right-wing candidates, specifically George W. Bush and Stockwell Day. Do me a solid and exercise your right to vote, while you still have it.
At Felicity's French exam, which is oral, the professor calls on her to come to the front of the room. She goes up and says: "J'ai choissis Le Vagabonde de Nicollet. Ce livre parle d'une actrice qui veut, uh, qui veut son independence...uh, I'm sorry, I'm just not prepared." The professor calls the next student and Felicity sits down.
At the dorm apartment, Meghan is on the phone and simultaneously highlighting a book. Sean arrives and bemoans the fact that he doesn't have a hook for this week's Docuventary installment. Meghan listens to him, then starts moaning into the phone. Apparently, she's hard at work. Sean grabs the phone and yells, "Hey, slimey, weasel!" Meghan protests that he is not in his apartment. Sean says that performing phone sex is like cheating on him and he can't deal with it anymore. Meghan screams, "Talking to these guys is like having sex with you -- it's over real fast and I do all the work!" Sean yells back, "Good luck with your career," and stomps out the door.
Docuventary clip: At Dean & Deluca, Javier admits to being nervous about the test. The interview is interrupted by Sean's phone. It's a phone sex client and Javier convinces Sean to let him take the phone. Javier says in a falsetto, "Hello, this is Amber, a luscious blonde [strokes Ben's hair] with a 44DDD." He then tells Sean that he thinks he used to be roommates with the client. Ben wants to get back to work and he asks Javier when the Civil War began. Javier asks, "What civil war?"
