Episode Report Card Pamie: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT "No! Jess! What About PROM?!"
By Pamie | Season 3 | Episode 19 | Aired on 04.28.2003
The band is setting up. Jung Chu watches. Kyle, the kid with the house, packs away all breakables. Rory tries to tell them they look like a real band, but for some reason she doesn't know the phrase "#1 with a Bullet." Rory tries it more times than my neighbor kid just adjusted her rearview mirror. Todd Lowe tells Brian to move back more so his double-jump-kick with slashing windmills off the amp won't hit him. Dave calls the move too "Milli Vanilli." Because if there was one thing the Vanilli did, it was play the guitar with slashing windmills. Todd Lowe then chastises Brian for calling a plant by its genus and species, saying it's "very not rock and roll." Dave decides to finalize the set list.
Rory watches Kyle and his friend pack up the Hummels. She asks if he needs help. Kyle's mouth is so full of metal that I don't understand the first sentence after after three listenings. It sounds like, "Nope. Stashes snuggle up sin the art trial. Now, packin' up the Hummels." Kyle freaks when his mom's favorite -- Boy with Toothache-- is handled so recklessly by his friend Marshall, who promptly apologizes. Kyle asks about the double-jump-kick. Rory promises to put a stop to it. Marshall audibly appreciates the detail on one of the Hummels.
Rory walks back over to Jess, who's ultra-grumpy. The band discusses how starting off with a slow song won't work. Todd Lowe thinks it's way too "emo." Brian says he's just playing devil's advocate. Dave thinks that's a great band name. Uh, hello? MamaLane's gonna be told about this band eventually. Think maybe your band could be not named after Satan?
The door bursts open to the sound of the scream, "KEG!" It's two boys with a keg. Kyle tells us that the screaming kid is his cousin Rick, who just turned twenty-one. "Pretty awesome," he says. "TWENTY-ONE!" Rick screams. Rick is clearly TWENTY-EIGHT. He has a moustache, people. Lane asks if that's beer they're carrying. Todd Lowe says it's a milk keg. Lane is worried about whether it's legal to have a keg. Everyone is reminded that Rick is TWENTY-ONE! "Or he's just really into that particular integer." Lane is quite uncomfortable with the booze factor. She who loves boozy musicians more than she loves Jesus. Todd Lowe teases Lane for being such a prude: "What were you expecting? Tang?" Kyle yells at Rick for putting the keg on the carpet. He tells Marshall to run upstairs and get the pool towels, not the good towels.
Jung Chu runs up to the band and asks if he can do anything to help. Dave thanks him and says they've got it covered. Jung Chu asks Lane if she needs anything, like water. Dave tells Jung Chu to stay away from the band area, since they have a lot of cords: "I don't want you to get electrocuted and die." Jung Chu gives a shaky "Oh, okay" and leaves. Dave, near tears, asks Lane if Jung Chu's staying for the whole thing. Lane looks away and says Jung Chu has nowhere else to go. Dave flashes her a two-handed gang sign and walks away as Kyle chastises Marshall for bringing down the good towels.
