SUMMARY
PLOT Bill and Dave are stuck in an airport in St. Louis , waiting for a flight back to New York after a three day conference they attended. While Dave is willing to wait patiently, Bill wants none of it, and starts exerting his demands to the airport staff, who seem to be more than happy to keep Bill happy. First they offer Bill and Dave free drinks in the bar, then a free steak dinner. Dave tries to get Bill to act more friendly towards the airport staff. Bill decides to go the opposite tack, being overly gracious, which prompt the airport staff to serve them even more free things. Eventually, the airport staff manage to get Bill drunk enough to the point where they are able to punch Bill in the stomach for his haranguing them. They also intone that they're prepared to do much worse to Bill (having gotten someone from Los Angeles so drunk, they were able to leave him stranded alone, 'walking back' to L.A.). Much to Dave's relief, the staff don't do anything further, and they allow Bill and Dave to get on the plane. Back at the office, Lisa is still enjoying being the temporary boss of everyone. However, when Jimmy overhears Joe and Catherine making plans to see a movie together later that night, he eventually tells Lisa that she has to stop them (Jimmy mentions that he wants Dave to handle this problem, as he's used to Jimmy's weird sense of logic, but eventually relents when Lisa mentions she can do anything that Dave does). Lisa half-heartedly attempts to stop Joe and Catherine from going out together (Catherine doesn't even consider their going out together as a date), knowing that she's not in any position to preach inter-office abstinence. Eventually, she gets so frustrated, that she hands them $50 and a pack of condoms and sends them off. Jimmy smiles, telling Lisa "This job is tougher than you thought, eh?" before Lisa kicks Jimmy out of the office. Beth, meanwhile, was asked by Bill to water his plants, which she hasn't done yet. She goes with Matthew to Bill's apartment, and is shocked to see all the various sexual apparatuses and toys in the apartment (including a revolving bed and Body Paint ). Matthew thinks that Bill's apartment is cool, until Beth clues him in that Bill is not someone to be idolized for having so many sex paraphenalia. The end of the episode has her listening as Bill calls the answering machine, asking 'Ted' to please water his plants, as he doesn't have faith that Beth has done so. Beth looks at her hand, where she wrote the address down, realizes she's in the wrong apartment, and runs out. The scene then shifts back to the airport, where Bill tells Dave that Ted is a male prostitute. SEE ALSO List Of NewsRadio Episodes |
