Upstairs at the bar, Rory grabs a Red Bull. I guess her WPM just ain't high enough yet, huh? Rory asks JessDean if he knows what those giant Q-Tips are called. He doesn't. He asks if that's going to count against him. Rory says it won't. Someone calls him, using a name that sounds like "Shellmack," which is about the unsexiest thing anybody has every shouted, and he leaves. There's a sound of disappointed boys as Paris stomps past: "Excuse me for thinking a banana-eating contest was about eating a banana!"
And now, like in the middle of a Young Ones episode, we just have The Shins play for, like, ever. Long enough for me to think, "That lead singer looks like if Glark were twenty years older." And then, "And the guy in the hoodie looks like Chris Parnell." Long enough for me to miss Rooney, and I don't even like Rooney, but The O.C. made us all think we loved Rooney for an hour, due to the constant repetition of the word "Rooney." It glommed on to our love of Ferris Bueller, and Principal Rooney. It made us forgive Andy Rooney, and give that Mickey Rooney another try. But with this scene, I don't even spend a nanosecond pondering the space between my knee and my foot, because they don't even tell us that we're watching The Shins. Is that classier? Perhaps. But it does seem terribly random. And this club, with its twenty kids dancing while wearing striped shirts, is the lamest place in Florida. And man, is that saying a lot. Anyway, let me take this nice recapping break, brought to me by The Shins. Thanks, guys. A little birdie with the initials C.C.C. just sent a copy of their latest album to the house. I do appreciate it, as does Stee, whom it was intended for. Do, dee, do, dee, doo. Shins are still playing. Second verse, same as the first.
Rory has a fake ID. I wish we'd gotten to see that scene. She gets in, as do Paris (whom I can't believe would ever carry a fake ID), Fraulein, and Louisa. Okay, this is confusing. Then Fraulein apparently wipes off the stamp that they got for being underage with like, the swish of a cocktail napkin, licks the back of the hand of some guy standing at the bar and presses her and Louisa's hands up to it. So this bar has one stamp for minors and one stamp for those of legal drinking age? What sense does that make? I guess for the ins and outs. Why do I spend so long pondering this stuff? Louisa and Fraulein leave to find drinks once Rory and Paris politely turn them down, and we go back to our regularly scheduled Shins concert.
