Episode Report Card Mr. Stupidhead: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT The Tattle Tale Heart
By Mr. Stupidhead | Season 4 | Episode 1 | Aired on 09.19.1999
Living room. George (of Nappy Head): "Don't worry." Simon: "I am worried." RevCam: "Worried about what?" Simon: "D'oh!" Actually: "Uh, about starting school again. Are you alright? You look a little funny." RevCam: "I'm fine." Enter THE COLONEL, who wants to know if RevCam and Simon want to "put in some time" at the hardware store (whatever). Simon can't because he's moving rooms (whatever). RevCam can't because he has to go tell a police officer's wife that her husband got stabbed, and he has to run. But before he does, he makes sure to tell the Grandfolks that their daughter, Julie, will be joining them for dinner with her new, uh, boyfriend. Yeah, that's it. Boyfriend.
Matt and John. The apartment. Piece of crap. They love it. More talk about Matt needing a job and John needing a car. Onward.
Back to Camden Manor, where Jeeves is pulling the car...I mean, where SuperMom is singing to the babies with impromptu lyrics to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." The phone rings (thank God, no more singing), and it's none other than...the Almighty RevCam! He's just calling to check in and see if Annie needs anything. She needs ground beef. They establish that RevCam hasn't eaten yet today, and SuperMom wants him to. She's worried about him. RevCam then gets beeped (?) and has to go. Close in on RevCam in the phone booth. Sweating profusely, he speaks to a woman on the phone about picking up and dropping off her medication. He then dials Annie again, because he forgot what she wanted. Annie: "Hamburger meat. And don't worry about dinner tonight. It'll be just fine." RevCam: "Right. It'll all be just fine." He hangs up, and once again the Telltale Heartbeat takes us into commercial. Boy oh boy.
It seems as though Dr. Jekyll thinks that THIS IS THE MOMENT. I disagree.
Matt: "Where's [sic] Mom and Dad? I have something to tell them." Dynamic Duo (in unison, yet again): "You got a job!" Matt: "I got an apartment!" Dynamic Duo (unison): "An apartment and a job! (everybody now!) We're movin' on up, to the East Side. To a. Deluxe apartment. In the sky-uy-uy-uy." Enough already with this unison crap. Shut up, the botha youse! Matt asks, "What job?" but before the DD can answer (in unison, no doubt), Simon enters and asks what all the screaming is about. Mr. Stupidhead suggests that perhaps Simon's new hairdo may have something to do with it, but since Simon can't hear me, Matt tells him that he found an apartment.
Simon becomes perplexed, then angry, then sad, then pensive, then a little hungry, then back to perplexed, and says "So you're just taking off, just like that? I mean, no warning? Nothing? You're just abandoning me?" To this, Matt replies, "Yes, you little schmap! Now THRECK OFF!" (tm Sars) No, he doesn't really say that. Instead, he tells Simon that he isn't abandoning anyone, and that he's moving right across town. Simon says something that pretty much amounts to "whatever," and takes off, seemingly pretty pissed. Whatever.
