Kiss And Tell

Terri walks up. Lena is instantly interested. Verve starts with, "Jake, this is..." Lena offers her hand and her name instantly. As Verve stammers Lena's credentials, Terri gives her a firm handshake. Lena tells Terri that they are going to the drive-in tomorrow night "to see a movie." She asks if Terri wants to come. Cue Steel Drums of Non-Gay Love as Terri looks at Verve. Verve looks back at Terri. Terri looks back at Lena and says yes. Verve bits his lip and says, "Great." Terri smiles. Lena tells Terri that she looks exactly like her ex-boyfriend. Terri says she hopes that's a compliment. Lena says that it is. Verve leans into Terri and says that a lot of people say they look alike. Lena says she doesn't notice a similarity. But I do. Suddenly they look exactly alike. Verve starts to walk back to the Girls' School. Lena makes Terri promise to go out with them tomorrow night. As Lena tells Verve that Terri really looks like her ex-boyfriend, Terri walks away uncomfortably. I really don't understand why Terri still hasn't told Verve that she's a girl. Clearly they are in love and it's not like Verve would tell his parents. I mean, your girlfriend has her own private dorm room right down the hall from you and you're locked in a school together? How sweet is that?

Ah, the Friendly's. Pan across some whipped cream in a bag or something. I can't tell what we're looking at. Will picks up the can and says, "This is why I don't give whipped cream cans to kids." Oh, Will. Lighten the fuck up for a moment. Scout tells Will to leave and he'll close up. Scout looks out the window at Bella. She's putting windshield-wiper fluid in a bucket and holds a hose in her other hand. Whatever. She, of course, can feel him looking, and looks over at him. Close-up smile. Close-up smile. Pinkie wave. I'm so sick of this shit. Scout's smile fades, as it always does when he realizes that he can't screw his sister. Yet. Will asks if Scout is going to go out with Paige. He says that if he's not going to because of Bella, "that's pretty lame." Scout says that he grew up with Paige and that she's like (say it with me) "a sister." Bah-dum-bum. "Life's so weird," young astute Will says with a squint, and he finally leaves. Scout walks to the door and flips the sign. Close-up on Will looking sad. He sees Bella and Sean playing in the water from the bucket. She turns a hose on him. Sean hasn't gotten off his bike yet. By the way, it's fully lit outside. Friendly's must be closing early to save the cost of food for dinners. Sean dumps the bucket of wiper fluid all over Bella. ["Wouldn't that sting her eyes and skin? Just wondering." -- Wing Chun] Surprisingly, she doesn't kick his ass. She just giggles and has the time of her life. Townie. Close-up on the disappointed Scout. Close-up on the "Closed" sign. For like, thirty seconds. Closed. Like his heart, y'all. So damn sad.
