Not that things are any less heave-inducing back at Casa Camden. Ruthie is super-perky for no discernible reason as she solicits money for her science experiment again, this time from Nigel. He pays up and tells her the project is good. Simon, for once in his life, makes a wise decision and won't fork over any money to Ruthie, claiming Nigel will tell him what it is. Nigel says he will not. Simon doesn't seem to care much. Hey, finally, I have something in common with a character from 7th Heaven!
We head back to "Flicks," where Robbie interrupts Lucy and Rick's action. How long have they been going at it anyway? At least an hour and a half, I reckon. Lucy's looking a little disheveled after her marathon make-out session. At least it's messed up those weird curls she had stuck on the top of her head before. Lucy asks where Mary is. Robbie says she "stopped by the restroom." He pauses to give Lucy the once-over, then continues with a heavily emphasized: ". . . to comb her hair." Lucy's glowing too hard to pick up on the hint. Robbie pulls Rick aside and lectures him about the formidable RevCam. Rick claims he and Lucy were "experimenting with what happens when friends kiss friends." When Robbie tries to warn him that "friends don't kiss friends," Rick responds like a billboard with, "No, friends don't let friends drive drunk." I'm assuming the only real purpose for this dialogue is to give Rick a chance to have some easy-to-memorize dialogue when he's not busy looking pretty. Mary comes out and hints that Lucy should visit the restroom "to freshen up." Lucy ignores her advice and gets up to leave. As she stands up, you can see that her hooker costume has a fairly deep slit up one thigh. Well, it can't be really deep because there's not much fabric there to work with.
Oh, yuck -- one of the foxy neighbours has started feeding Dopey some lasagna on a fork. Finally, when the other fox tells Dopey that "a girl would have to be crazy not to find a way to make a relationship work with you," John just about loses it. He's making fist-in-palm hitting motions as he asks Dopey to step outside for a moment. This leads me to hope that he'll clock the Dopester and send him flying down the stairs. No such luck. John just chews him out and tells him to leave. Inside the apartment, the phone rings, and the perky blonde answers it. It's Chickenhead on the line! Are you surprised? No, I didn't think so. Chickenhead is surprised, though, especially when the blonde asks her if she is Shana. Matt runs in and grabs the phone, which blonde girl hands over with a bubbly, "It's Shana!" Chickenhead starts clucking about the girl who answered the phone. Dopey stands around looking, uh, dopey.
