Episode Report Card Niki: A+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Acting Out
By Niki | Season 3 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.18.2001
Meanwhile, the sheets are finally cooling off over at Judy's. She and Sam are lying in bed, musing about Jimmy Carter. Whatever. Judy asks whether Sam likes pancakes. "Why, are you going to make some?" he asks. "No, but I could order some," she says. Wow, that is lazy. Sam asks what the time is, and Judy sleepily says she doesn't know. She asks whether he has to be somewhere. He points out that he has to work, and wonders whether she doesn't have to, too. "Eventually," she murmurs, adding that he's "free to go, obviously." "You won't be mad at me?" he asks. Judy props herself up to look him in the eye and says, "You know that I'm undeniably attracted to you, and I can't help myself. Why can't we just have this? Enjoy each other without making so much out of it? Because that's where we seem to run into trouble." Nice pitch, Judy, but I'm not buying it. Sam, of course, is thrilled at the thought of sex without expectations. "So why can't we do that?" Judy asks, smiling widely. Because no other couple in history has been able to pull it off? Sam's penis turns cartwheels under the covers. He says, "We can, and I think we should." They seal the deal with a kiss. Sam's cell phone interrupts the celebration of their new non-union.
From his truck, Rick asks where Sam is. Sam bullshits that he's on his way. Judy's phone rings. Of course it's Lily.
Lily: Good morning sleepyhead.
Judy: What's that supposed to mean?
Rick: I just pulled into Judy's.
Sam: Judy's house?
Lily: You want to have lunch?
Judy: Mmm, I'm not sure.
Rick: No, Phil's. Booklovers.
Sam: Oh.
Lily: Is someone there?
Judy: No.
Rick: Are you at Judy's house?
Sam: Uh, no.
Lily: Well, it sounds like someone's there.
Judy: Anything's possible.
Rick: You are at Judy's house, aren't you?
Sam: Oh-hoh. Maybe.
Lily: [sigh]
Rick: [sigh]
Judy: Don't.
Sam: Don't do that!
Lily: What?
Rick: Don't do what?
Judy: You sighed!
Sam: That judgmental breathing thing. It's really annoying.
Judy: It's annoying.
Lily: Fine.
Rick: Fine. I'll try not to breathe.
Lily: Are you going to work today?
Judy: Yes!
Rick: Are you going to the office today?
