Ben and Sean are in a grocery store. Ben tells Sean he was wrong. Sean is dejectedly looking at condiments and agrees that he was wrong because "Smoothaise was a pipe dream." Ben says that he meant Sean was wrong about Ben and Felicity, and he gave Ben poor advice when he told him to dump her. Sean can't believe Ben thinks it wasn't great advice, because Sean thinks it was the greatest advice he's ever given. Ben says Sean doesn't know what he's talking about "as usual," and that since he listened to Sean, his life has gotten worse. Sean points out that Ben was the one who got involved with a married woman, which Sean would have "advised against had [Ben] bothered to ask [him]." Ben says he tried to ask but Sean was "too busy drooling over Julie." Thank God someone finally called him on that! Sean acts like he doesn't know what Ben is talking about, but he also won't let it drop. Ben says that Sean is in love with Julie and he won't tell her, so Ben feels like "an idiot for listening to your advice." Ben grabs a box of cereal and stalks off, and Sean grabs a different box of cereal and follows him.
Felicity is walking down the hall in slow motion, while we hear her start a new tape to Sally. I hope she picked up some extra hours at Dean and Deluca to cover the cost of all these tapes. She tells Sally about how she auditioned for The Wizard of Oz as a child and blah blah wanted to be Dorothy blah blah Mia Bono got the part blah blah Flying Monkey Cakes. Felicity stops and reads something posted on the wall and then looks disappointed, so we are to understand that she didn't get into that oil painting class. The professor of the course just happens to be walking out of the classroom right then, and Felicity stops him. I guess she thinks he will take one look at her hairstyle and outfit and somehow perceive her innate artistic talent and just let her into the class. He doesn't. Instead, he tells her to get on the waiting list. You know, most colleges and universities these days have electronic registration that automatically shuts you out if the class has reached maximum enrollment. And if there was some sort of screening or audition process, it seems like they would have let the potential students know before or during the break, whether they got in or not, instead of waiting for the first day of classes.
Remember a few years back, when there was that big brouhaha over the movie Three Men and A Baby? And the rumor was that some little boy had died or been killed on the set where they filmed the movie, and that during one scene, his ghost appears outside the window? Well, ever since then, I have called anyone who hovers over other people and always seems to be hanging around the Three Men and A Baby Boy. I promise this will be relevant in a moment.
