Aaron: Aww! I can't believe you actually used "Get out. Now." That's so sweet. Thank you.
Alan Ball: Actually, it was really more of an instruction than a shout-out.
Aaron: Damn. Do you always have to be so hostile? Why not feel the love, just this once?
Alan Ball: Well, I don't know…
Aaron: Come on! Can I get a hug?
Alan Ball: Don't touch me.
Aaron: Sorry.
[Awkward silence.]
Aaron: So does this mean we can hang out sometime? You know, I could come over like three or four times a week, and we could fire up the bong and…
Alan Ball: Get out. Now.
Aaron: But why? And what about Saturdays?
Alan Ball: Get out!
Aaron: Geez. All right, already. We. Get. It. You don't have to be such a bitch about it.
Cut to a lawyer's office, where Rico and Vanessa have just been informed that the MMDLD left them $149,000 in her will. They're shocked by this news, although not as shocked as I am that she was apparently able to find a much better lawyer than David did last week. When the lawyer gets up to fetch some papers for them to sign, Vanessa turns to Rico and utters the immortal line, "$149,000? That's like a hundred and fifty thousand dollars!" Heh. Also, shut up, Vanessa. She and Rico are so excited over the inheritance that they actually start arguing over who did more to help the MMDLD, and since I've now gone three scenes in a row without once telling Rico to shut up, I'm going to move on while my good karma is still intact.
The Body Shop. Claire sets up some lights and her camera, and proceeds to take a number of incredibly cute self-portraits for her LAC-Arts application. The little "That Girl" pose she strikes for one of them is just totally fucking adorable. Sigh. Rewind and repeat. Rewind and repeat.
Alan Ball: Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you, okay?
Aaron: You should be. Although I do appreciate your putting in the cute Lauren scene to make up for it.
Alan Ball: Even so, I shouldn't have overreacted like that. I mean, we're only chatting a couple of times a week over the computer. I guess there's no real harm in that.
Aaron: Exactly. It's not like I'm running around being clingy and saying, "Marry me, Alan" all the time.
Alan Ball: You're still not coming over to my house, though.
Aaron: Ew. Who says I even want to? That place smells funny.
