Here's the Visa Checkcard commercial with the guy who can only afford to get "I Love Don" tattooed on his arm. Yes, people who get totally unimaginative tattoos should always have ready cash. I fully believe that if there is a hell, Adam Sandler will be there, regardless of his participation in Little Nicky. Mandy Moore shills for the Neutrogena Acne Patch. Toddlers frolic operatically for Huggies diapers. Omigod, there's an ad for the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas on video and DVD. Oh, the irony.
In a school corridor, Richard is handing out flyers for free pizza and a town-hall meeting on Friday. Elena and Molly are reading their flyers, and Molly thinks it's a good idea. When Richard overhears her, he introduces himself. Molly explains that she's Elena's new housemate. The ever-tactful Richard replies, "Ooh, you're the redcoat that drove Julie away." Elena barks, "Richard!" to which he responds, "Hey, all I'm saying is she's here, Julie's gone." Molly says that she has to run to her "American rhetoric class." That comment flies directly over Richard's head, and he runs after Elena and declares, "Now that is a woman." Elena says, "As if you would know." Richard says, "Buxom, fashionably attired, passionate about politics. Can you make it happen?" Elena asks what he means, and he states that he wants to date Molly. It seems fairly improbable, given his love affair with Knoll and his general distaste for females. Elena must be thinking what I'm thinking because she says no.
