Stiff lawyers watch Pickle's videotape. I wonder if Emmett did the ventriloquist show with them like he did for us. That's really impressive. Emmett! Show them how you and Pickle can do the "Who's On First?" routine! That'll show them that you two were really in love! The main lawyer accuses Emmett of faking the tape by having a demented Pickle read lines Emmett had written out for him. They compliment the quality of the tape. How is this a better quality version than the one we saw last week? It really is a much clearer copy. Emmett, for some reason, feels the need to tell the lawyers that Pickle was "of sound body" when he died. So not helping, Em. The lawyers call Emmett an "ambitious young hustler" from a gay porn site. You know, that's all kind of true. The lawyer asks why Emmett would persuade a man of Pickle's age to take Emmett around the world when the strain of the trip could harm Pickle physically. They say that Pickle made the deposit before he and Emmett left on the trip. Really? It took months for the $10 million check to clear and Emmett never heard about...Porn Theory! Stick with the Porn Theory! Otherwise my ears are going to start bleeding from how impossible it all is. Mel knows that Emmett's screwed, so she threatens to leak the tape to the press. Emmett may not get a dime, but everyone would know that Pickle was gay, and how horrible that would be! She says that nobody would think of "Schickle's Pickle" the same way. This show constantly takes two steps backward. I know the show's tagline is: "It Sucks to be Gay," but I really hate it when it adds, "Because straight people are terrified of us."
