So, Marcy's giving the fan a tour of the wardrobe department. The fan, Leslie, immediately grasps onto Johnny's hockey jersey and inhales deeply. The actor who's playing this part is mincing it up something fierce. In fact, he's so on the edge of "femme" that at times I wonder if it's actually a GIRL playing the part of a boy. So Hilary Swank of them.
On the set, Marcy and Leslie run into Courtney, and Marcy invites Courtney and Señor Stinky to come along on the "Date with Johnny" dinner later that night. Courtney jumps at the chance to allow everyone to completely understand what a buttlick her boyfriend is.
At the restaurant, Leslie's taking pictures of everyone and expounding upon how cool this all is. He takes his seat and Johnny, ripping a page out of the Book of the Dementedly Idiotic and Hopelessly Retarded, asks Leslie if he's got a girlfriend at home. "Well, I used to," says Leslie. "But whenever I'd kiss her, I'd think of you." BWA HA HA. Marcy then asks Leslie to show Johnny his Becky imitation. Leslie performs admirably enough, I guess. But then, I rarely ever see enough of the Becky character for me to make a proper assessment.
Señor Stinky shows up and immediately launches into what a lousy day he had peddling third-rate Little League trophies. Courtney tries to be supportive. Johnny contemplates his empty plate. Hairless jumps in and says, "You should set your sights higher. This town is trophy crazy. I mean, every week it's another award show." Señor Stinky doesn't like this idea. It would appear that sports trophies are their bedrock. Courtney pipes up that change is good, and that if Señor Stinky moved out to L.A., he could really expand the business. Hairless then delivers the funniest line of the evening: "Hey, I bet you could even spill over into the commemorative ribbon business. You know, AIDS awareness, breast cancer awareness." I just love how he's giving Señor Stinky the "I'm all interested" treatment when he's so obviously just making subtle fun of him. Almost makes the sticky-sleazy aspect of Hairless's personality melt away. Almost.
