When You Assume...

Colin examines the flat, and Veronica lays it on thick with talk of tight nuts and lotion. I thought you were trying to prove he liked girls here, hon. He points out that you have to jack the car up before you take off the tire, and then gives her a handkerchief to wipe off some motor oil on her forehead. Boy, Julie's either more blind or more retarded than I thought before, because I wouldn't doubt that anyone who has a family crest embroidered on his handkerchief might have a few bucks in the bank. Veronica exaggeratedly sticks out her ass as she looks in the driver's-side mirror, and Colin isn't above checking it out, much to Wallace's delight. Colin offers to call Veronica a tow truck, but she gives him a song and dance about needing to use his computer to send a midterm within ten minutes. Colin relents, and Wallace films them going into the house.

Inside, Veronica babbles excitedly about lesbian college experimentation and how awesome the place is, and there's lots of art and wood floors and beautiful views and I don't even want to contemplate the price tag here. Veronica, who I now can see is wearing fishnets, hits on Colin blatantly, but Colin says he's got a girlfriend. He does not add, "Now go send your hackneyed little paper about how Hamlet was just misunderstood so you can get out of my house, you retarded bimbo," but every scene's got to have subtext. Veronica asks, on the scale of pretty to drop-dead gorgeous, where she falls. Colin skewers her act: "You'd fall under 'knows she's gorgeous but likes to hear it anyway.'" Heh. He gets up and, not unkindly, reminds her about the midterm. I wonder how long Wallace is going to tell the story about how supremely she was denied here. Of course, he could always double his fee to hush the matter up.

Speaking of Wallace, he looks at his watch and seems nervous and impatient.

Veronica gets to work on the computer. She surreptitiously slips a CD into the drive, and then, noting the posters on the walls, babbles about movies to cover the fact that she's copying a bunch of his files. She apparently thinks his name is spelled with two "L"s, even though that wasn't the case on the other TV sites I checked, bit if they're trying to give us another letter clue, I'll leave the detective work to someone else. Col(l)in tells Veronica that he's just housesitting for a friend. Veronica asks if the friend is a big Nic Cage fan, since the posters are all of his movies. Col(l)in: "My friend is Nic Cage." Veronica seems a little skeptical, probably because there's no way Nic Cage would keep a friend around who has that much hair on his head.
