...so why not head over to a cheerier vehicle, as Bethany and Don are making out in the back seat of a cab. After an appraising look the driver's way, Bethany lowers herself, um, out of frame, and DVO offers, "She's a sweet girl. And she wants me to know her. But I already do." If that's true, it's pretty clear that he already knows she's not for him, but if that's what's on his mind during this situation I'm going to guess her technique could use some work too. As we cut to him in his bathrobe late at night, he writes, "People tell you who they are, but we ignore it, because we want them to be who we want them to be." Still not two hundred and fifty words, but he's getting somewhere, especially since he's echoing a side of the season's theme that Faye has been trumpeting ever since she arrived. Of course, he's also finding that it cuts both ways, and given that people expect him to be a total lush, the difficulty in quitting or even cutting down on his drinking won't be limited to his own desires. I mean, can you imagine the Greek tragedy of Roger's reaction were Don to become a teetotaler?
Bethany gets out of the cab as she says, "To be continued," which is pretty much a promise that Don will have an all-access pass soon if only he calls to pick it up, but as if we already didn't know that wasn't going to happen, DVO speculates, "I bet she was thinking of that line all night." Ouch. Probably true, but still. DVO continues that he looked up at the Barbizon and thought of all the women pleasuring themselves on the way to Sleepytown, and later, in bed, he admits that he enjoys sleeping alone, as you can stretch out like a skydiver and hit cool patches when you need to. "I just appreciate it more." The good news on that is that it's easily arranged. Although it would be even easier if he were a fugster.
