The West Coast Delay

Down in the S60 cast's Den of Iniquity, Simon practices his new lines: "America's gulf coast is gearing up for another hurricane season. This year's storms threaten to be worse than last year's, when tens of thousands of African-American families were forced to flee their homes. A spokesman for the Army Corps of Engineers is guaranteeing that the new levee will be ready in time to protect the new building projects from surges of water and black people." Jesus. Someone hanging around remarks that it's too long. Someone recapping it would like to add that it's also not funny. Harriet breezes in and tells the gang to feel free to use her dressing room any time for rehearsal. They're all, "Great, thanks." An unnamed (to me, anyway) cast member who bears a striking resemblance to Ming-Na (because all Asians look alike) asks Harriet if she gave Matt the bat, and if he liked it. Harriet: "I'm not sure. It was hard to tell from the way he was shoving it up my ass." See? Now that's funny. She explains to Ming-Na the sadness about Darren's number being on the bat, and how he's coming to the show on Friday, and that it's not the same as Matt sleeping with someone she works with every day. Jeannie is like, "Sitting right here!" Harriet ignores this and goes back to complaining to Ming-Na. She complains for such an annoyingly long amount of time that Matt has the opportunity to walk downstairs, exit the building, get hit by a bus, recuperate in the hospital, go to physical therapy to learn to walk again, walk back into the building and into Harriet's dressing room, and tell Simon that he wants him to do his bit as an editorial. Lord have mercy. At this point Harriet is telling Ming-Na that the reason Harriet and Darren get along so well is that Darren knows how to both talk AND listen. Matt snarks that maybe the reason they get along so well is because they both have about the same chance of getting a hit in a major league baseball game. Harriet: "I loathe you." Hee. Simon hints around that he kind of maybe wants to do some of his own stuff instead of what he's holding in his hand. Matt insists that he do this material; it's from Ricky and Ron. Ricky pipes up that it was actually "the room." Matt says that he'll be in his office, which gives Nate Corddry the perfect chance to jump up and follow him and probably be adorable.
