Anyway, apparently when your girlfriend's just had an abortion, what you need is a convertible. Silas loves it, and as he climbs into the driver's seat, the salesman points out that it's a two-seater: "No back seat, no trouble." Ha! Like Silas ever had to resort to a car. The salesman excuses himself, and Nancy leans in and says that the convertible is unsafe. Silas needles that, if Nancy has such concerns for his safety, she should have chosen a different line of work, but she tells him to pick out a four-door and be glad he's not on roller skates. He whines, but she says that if he doesn't cram it, she's going to take her "dirty drug money" and spent it on "giant diamond earrings and a gold tooth," and that he can buy a sports car when he's forty-seven and bald. I really hate to think of that happening to this dreamy kid, but I guess it's likely that he'll end up looking like Dean eventually.
In the library at Shane's school, the faculty head of the debate club is giving a pep talk about how they've become known as a second-rate debate school, and have lost cred since the glory days when Joel Garrity, Leon Krantzberg, and Larry Chin were debating. The camera pans across the three celebrities' photos as the teacher names them, and then to a fourth frame, in which is a sheet printed, "WILL YOU BE HERE?" Oh my God, the pressure! Anyway, Shane's not paying attention to the teacher, instead watching Gretchen as she plays with her hair, and then pulls out a pen cap to pick gunk out of her braces. Which apparently Shane finds irresistible.
Isabelle shows up at Doug's office. She wants to find a way to keep her money away from her parents. Doug asks whether Celia knows she's there, and Isabelle says no, and that she doesn't want Doug to tell her. Doug: "Oh, I don't speak to that cun--" Isabelle stares at him a moment, and since there's no real way to cover that (other than "country and western-loving lady," and Arrested Development already used that line), Doug just rephrases: "Your mother and I rarely speak." He hasn't heard that Isabelle has any money. She tells him about Huskeroos. Doug is aware of the brand, and Isabelle tells him it's going to be a lot of cheddar. He explains that he can set up a trust for her, but that she'll have to involve at least one parent. Isabelle says that's bullshit, since it's her money, but when Doug asks which parent she wants to name, he hasn't even gotten the entire sentence out before Isabelle's answered, "My dad." Doug confirms again that Celia doesn't know she's there, and Isabelle says she doesn't. Doug smiles, and offers Isabelle a Crunch bar. Girl, no! If he's going to be getting a percentage of your money for this work, hold out for something from Cadbury!
