Lesson Ten: Girls R Just Dum

"In Our Time," by Burt Bacharach and Some Dorks

Oh what a time
What a time it was
We were young
We were strong
We were true
We held on
We had faith
And we grew
As one
For the dawn that would last
Through the years
Those years
.

Isn't that pretty? Dumb? Burt tells them they did a "very good" job, and Allie goes, "Awww."

American flags! Flags upon flags! Scary cool music! New camera tricks! Up in the suite, Lee asks Charmaine what she's thinking, and she says nothing, except for how he's going to throw her under the bus. He says he's not going to unless she attacks him directly, which I wish she would do but she's clearly too smart to do. She interviews that she's "not prepared to go head-to-head with Lee," but that she "won't have to." Why? Because she and Lee are BFF. He tells her that they have it in their power to "steer this whole situation" wherever the two of them "want to go." Lee tells her -- no self-interest at all in play -- that she'd be better off going in one-on-one with Tarek, because Trump doesn't like Tarek, doesn't think he's doing a good job, and thinks Charmaine's great. All true. Charmaine: "If I could call anyone an ally, it would be [Lee]," because though he's not vocal about supporting her, he won't speak negatively about her either. "So he's as good as it gets," she admits grimly. And she's right about that too. He wishes her luck, "darlin'," and she thanks him kindly.

Lee runs straight to Tarek: "We're both going to say she needs to be fired." They practice their complaints about how Charmaine and Michael were at the store the entire day, but sold no products, and Lee, still trying to impress Tarek with how much of a freakin' player he is, is all, "Not only that...we have a lot of stuff, obviously..." And they talk about how the spent the whole first day screwing around with the boxes of product, and that in the time it took them to screw that up completely for no reason except being vapid idiots and whiny bitches, they could have given flyers and marketed to like a hundred people. If they'd gotten just "six more ladies" into the salon, they could have clinched it. But again, the thing Lee is missing is that standing around bitching for that entire time doesn't exempt him from the fact that they didn't get that done. Tarek interviews that Lee's on his side, and Lee continues listing the things they had no control over whatsoever, because Susan B. Anthony had them all handcuffed to their mommies' madeleines or whatever stupid shit, like how she wouldn't let them brainstorm about "the products or whatever," because she was so concerned about value-add stuff like cost of services and the system of discounts. Tarek interviews that Lee is a "good guy," "religious" to the point where he "doesn't want to lie," and Tarek respects him for that. Two down!
