Now Kathy is taking Bette out to dessert somewhere. In the car, Kathy and Bette talk about their looks and plastic surgery. Kathy has taken Bette to a horrible little casino that appears to be completely empty. Kathy is having a deep-fried Twinkie and Bette's getting a deep-fried Oreo. Oh, and after they're deep-fried, it appears that they're sprinkled with powdered sugar. Well, thank god for that. Bette admits that the deep-fried Oreo is really good, and Kathy gloats a little about that. "I know I had all sorts of saturated fats and oils. But I can't name them. So how bad can they be? Doctor?," reflects Kathy.
As they leave the casino, Bette some loud drunk people ask Bette to sing Happy Birthday to them. Bette obliges, but the cameraman is more interested in a crazy lady who has wandered into the shot. The crazy woman sings along and fixes her hair while staring directly into the camera. Kathy describes it as "breaking the fourth wall".
Special midcommercial footage! Kathy and Bette poke at one of those really complicated video slot machines and Bette wins ten bucks or so. It looks like a lot when it's in nickels.
Kathy bids a tearful goodbye to Bette, who can't wait to take off her heels and relax. Kathy interviews that she's surprised how little Bette cares for vulgarity, considering the legendary bawdiness of her stage show. Kathy would like some credit for being on her best behavior. Kathy reels off a few bleep-filled phrases she didn't even say!
Later this season: LL Cool J! Don Rickles! Kathy's mom tries to call the Chemical Brothers! Paris Hilton! Kathy reels off George Carlin's Seven Words You Can't Say on Television! Although it turns out you can say one of them now. Rosie O'Donnell moons a boat! Lily Tomlin! End of show!
