By Kim | Season 4 | Episode 12 | Aired on 03.19.2002
Ben and Trevor talk to Professor Snark after class. Trevor asks if it's a particular lab, but Professor Snark says that it is not. Prof. Snark explains that he wants Ben and Trevor to be his research assistants on a study for publication. Trevor asks if their names would be on the publication and Prof. Snark says that they would. Trevor thinks that this will look great on their med-school applications. Way to think of only yourself there, Trevor. I still don't like this guy. Prof. Snark tries to impress upon them the importance of this research by explaining that they can't make any mistakes. The boys understand. Prof. Snark gives them both some papers and tells them to come to the lab at 8 PM, then exits. Trevor is excited.
Sean and Noel sit in a lobby, waiting to give their big pitch. They argue over whether they should use "revitalize" or "reenergize." I vote for "revitalize" -- "reenergize" makes it sound like the company is tired. Noel agrees with me. Sean sighs and talks about how nervous he is, and how he is sweaty. Thankfully, Zoe Webb walks into the room and says hello to Noel before we can hear more about Sean's glandular issues. Noel stands and says that he's there to pitch the CGG account. Zoe is there for the same reason. Zoe says that she's been thinking about Noel, who says that he's started his own firm. Zoe talks a lot like Ruby, so I guess it makes sense that Noel is attracted to her. Zoe wishes Noel luck and walks off with her father and co-workers. Noel sits back down and explains to Sean who Zoe is. Noel is discouraged, because he doesn't think that he and Sean can get the account if they are competing against Webb Graphics. Sean is more interested in how cute Zoe is. Noel says that it could never work with Zoe, and points out the dirty look her father just gave him. Sean says that he noticed the dirty (in a different way) look that Zoe just gave Noel. Noel reiterates that he's trying to get his "ducks in a row." Sean relents, but not before stating that Zoe is "incredible." Down, Sean! Don't you have a wife at home?
Speaking of Sean's wife, Meghan is standing at the front of a classroom, trying to bribe her professor into letting her out of class. The professor isn't having it. Meghan does not want to take this acting class, but she needs it to graduate. As she is pleading her case, Javier walks in behind her. Javier is excited because Meghan can be his new scene partner, playing the role of Margo Channing in All About Eve. I'm just going to confess right now that I've never seen that movie, although I am familiar with it due to the "Fasten your seatbelts; it's going to be a bumpy night" line. Meghan comments that All About Eve sounds like a porno, and Javier tells her to bite her tongue and that this will be "the role of a lifetime." Meghan sighs. The professor indicates that she should take a seat.
