The kids are running around as Don films them; when we cut to the camera-view, we hear "Marriage Of Figaro" playing on the soundtrack. Helen comes in and shields her face from the camera, prompting Don to ask, "What are you, Frank Sinatra?" Given their larger-than-life status, I doubt any member of the Rat Pack would have been caught dead driving a Beetle. Helen says she's looking for Glen, and Carlton offers that a bunch of the kids just ran through. He accompanies her on her search as Don somewhat unsteadily shoots the other two guys. By the stairs, Carlton smooves that he knows Helen's situation, and if she ever needs someone to throw the ball around with Glen or take him to the beach, he's her man. Helen gets this awesome "Yeah, I've heard this one before" look on her face and says that's very nice, and speculates that soon, she'd start joining him at the beach, and before you know it...Carlton, unamused, says he doesn't want her telling Francine that he suggested something he didn't, and Helen says she's sorry if she misunderstood. Since she's a woman, she has to say that, even though she didn't misunderstand and she wouldn't be sorry even if she did. Don then appears with the camera again, and Carlton and Helen desperately try to outdo each other on who can give the faker smile and wave. Too close to call, I'd say. Don keeps filming, but when he sees one of the couples exchange a kiss, he looks pensive...
