Teach Your Children Well…

Over at the Deckers', Roger appears to be having the same reaction, as The Unicorn backs him into a barstool and begins what she clearly thinks is an erotic dance. Perhaps in her world it is. Janet rounds the corner, just in time to see The Unicorn pointing out that she's got breasts, stares for a moment, and heads out to the back yard. Tom notices all of this. A second later, he comes out to ask if Janet's okay, explaining, "Roger's just having a good time. Don't make this something bigger than it is." Janet says haltingly, "I used to think I knew what he needed, but, this .,.. [points] ... if what's happening in there is what he needs --" "Whatever's going on in there with him can include you! And it's better if it does," Tom says. Janet gives him a Bitch, please look and says, "People might see Roger that way. I, on the other hand, am not the kind of person any of your friends would ... want like that." Tom rebuts that argument by sweeping in and kissing Janet. I unabashedly admit that the first time I saw this, I shrieked. Tom pulls back and tells the shocked Janet, "You are a beautiful woman. Don't you ever forget that. Roger is a very lucky man, and he would be a fool to forget that. A little attention from someone else is only going to bring it all back to you." Having dispensed his sexy, soothing words of wisdom, Tom leaves. A shocked Janet silently watches him go.

When she comes back inside, Janet sees that The Unicorn has draped herself on Roger in an effort to do a little show-and-tell: I have a rear end! It's at the top of my legs! Janet stiffly asks if she can talk to Roger for a moment, and he gratefully flees. Janet says, with elaborate politeness, "I'm, ah, going to go home. So, ahm, I'm going to need the keys if you're going to stay." Roger asks, "You mean, without you?" Now, Janet's cracking a little: "I don't think I can follow you into this. I tried, but --" Roger cuts her off right there to disabuse her of the notion that what he really wants is to frolic with the unicorns. They hug, and it's very sweet, and holy cow, until Roger loomed over her, I hadn't realized how much bigger he actually is. The Thompsons head home for the night.
