As Jen and her blue-spectrum slim-skirt sashay out of the shot, Andie "Dexatrim" McPhee cruises into the frame and across the sidewalk and smiles a weird smile sort of in the direction of Billy Budd and walks into the video store. Behind the counter, Pacey "Only My Hairdresser Knows For Sure" Witter is watching a porno, which we deduce from the squealing coming from the TV and the smirk of appreciation on Pacey's face, but when he sees Andie he shuts off the porno in a hurry and says oh-so nonchalantly, "Well, if it isn't Little Miss McPhee," and asks if he can help her, and Andie says no thanks, she can help herself, so "why don't you go back to your 'Debbie Does Dallas.'" Pacey corrects her, "It's 'Jacuzzi Floozies,' actually," and they have a so-called witty exchange about porn movie titles, and Andie insults Pacey, and Pacey says, "You know, McPhee, we really should just bite the bullet." Andie: "Meaning?" Pacey: "All this verbal sparring we've been doing is getting a little dangerous, so we should just go out on a date before somebody gets hurt." Andie: "Forget it." Pacey: "Come on -- you know you want to." Andie: "Well, maybe if I was asked politely." Pacey, squirming and trying not to laugh: "Okay. Andie, would you like to go on a date with me tonight?" Andie, oh-so nonchalantly: "Okay." Pacey: "Try not to sound too enthused." Andie, perkily: "I'll try to restrain myself. So where are we going?" Pacey suggests the movies because they won't have to interact with each other as much, Andie agrees, Pacey says he'll pick her up at 7:30 and asks where she lives, Andie gets flustered and suggests meeting at the movies, Pacey says it's okay, he can pick her up, Andie gets more flustered and suggests meeting at the Icehouse on "neutral ground," Pacey tells her that her house is on his way, Andie says, "Maybe we shouldn't do this," Pacey tells her not to "wuss out on [him] now," and Andie reluctantly gives in and says, "Okay, um, 7:30, see you there, don't be late," and books on out of the video store with her ponytail flipping back and forth, and okay, Andie has something to hide, I THINK WE GET IT, and Pacey looks puzzled and then smiles and says to himself, "Cool," and Andie emerges onto the street with a big old grin on her face. Aw.
Cut to Jen in front of a product-placed display of Urban Decay make-up, trying on lip-liner. Abby "Single Entendre [tm Wing]" Morgan galumphs through the door and up to Jen and she seems almost coked up as she booms, "Hey! You're not still mad at me, are you?" and Jen doesn't notice Abby sniffling and wiping her nose, and Jen says sarcastically, "Why, for calling me a desperate loser? Gee, why should I be?" and puts the lip-liner back and starts to walk away. Apparently the truth still smarts a little bit. Abby gushes, "I didn't mean that I'm sorry I always get a little wiggy around this time of the month," as she grabs an eye pencil, holds up her bag, and drops it in while saying, "Oops," and if I recall my dos and don'ts of shoplifting correctly, making a big old David-Copperfield-at-Harrah's production of your petty theft falls into the "don'ts" section.
