When we return, Marc rushes to Betty and says that if they're going to have dinner with his mother, they'll have to know everything about one another so as to make a convincing couple. Didn't this happen once on The Nanny? Or was Fran Drescher not actually from another country? Marc guesses that Betty is from the Philippines, and Betty corrects him by saying she's from Queens. He says that they both end in "eens." Maybe next he'll guess that she was born in the dressing room of Filene's. He then says that the story of their meeting is that he bet his friends he could turn Betty from an ugly ducking into a beautiful swan. Betty says that that's the plot of She's All That, and Marc says that in that movie the girl actually became beautiful, while in this case, he fell in love with her because of the "inner beauty crap." The two go through flashcards of facts about each other. Marc asks who his favorite boy band is, and Betty correctly guesses N'Sync. He asks what his favorite musical is, and she once again knows that it's High School Musical. Finally, Marc asks where he gets his Mystic Tan, and Betty knows it's Sunset Tan on 48th. Betty asks if these are the questions that will convince his mother that he's straight, and he says, "Uh, straight guys Mystic Tan -- hello, Tom Cruise!" Ah, Tom Cruise -- Marc and Betty's stiffest competition on The Newlybeard Game. Now it's time for the Betty questions. She asks who Justin is, and Marc has to pass. Betty says that he's her nephew, whom Marc has met. Marc says that he'll never remember that. The next question is Betty's age, and Marc guesses thirty-two. She is actually twenty-two, and offended. Next she asks him what her favorite flowers are. We hear a voice say, "Pink gerbera daisies." It's Henry, who knows this fact because they are soulmates. The two have an awkward moment, where Henry asks Betty how she is, and Betty asks him how Charlie is. Marc pulls her attention back to the quiz, and she asks what her favorite kind of pizza is. He guesses goat cheese and capers, but Henry knows that the correct answer is pepperoni and mushroom. Mmm, I want pizza. Marc says, "Whose girlfriend is she?" Well, certainly not Henry's! Marc tells Henry to beat it. Betty asks Marc who her favorite Disney princess is, and he answers "Mulan." Henry walks away and mumbles that it's Cinderella, because her mother always read that to her before bed. Oh, dump the doormat and get yourself a nice little jalapeño, Henry.
