Testimonials

Of course the whole moment is ruined when Buddy Garrity, who was apparently watching from behind some bushes, pops out to have a small talk with Coach. Tami is priceless here, telling Buddy not to take too long because Coach JUST GOT HOME, doing that hilarious thing where she vehemently tries to yell at someone while also being as polite as humanly possible. Classic. Buddy tells him that Coach Asshat got a lawyer and that he's not signing anything yet. An emergency board meeting has been called, so Coach doesn't technically have the job yet. Coach becomes irked, yelling that he signed a no compete form that says he can't take another college coaching job for two years. Again, yay! Buddy reassures him that everything will be fine, And how can you not trust a used car salesman with a PANTHR license plate?

Lyla is trying to convince her older sister, I mean mother, to let James Franco do some chores around the house, since having a job will help with his probation. Pam is not too comfortable with having an ex-convict running around with her younger kids present, so the answer is no. Oh, come on, Pam. You'll let that tofu-loving hippy in your house but not an ex-con? I call hypocrisy. And bad parenting.

Julie is in a practice driving session with her father. He asks about The Swede, and she predictably freaks out and starts yelling and not watching the road. He calms her down, and then asks about the two of them "carrying on in the driveway". Haha. I love when Coach busts out with old-timey language. He continues to needle her, forgetting that at the slightest provocation Julie goes into can't-do-anything-but-screech mode. She forgets to watch the road and almost swerves into another car, prompting the other driver to give her...the index finger? Guess they do things a little differently down in Texas.

Jason finally gets his appointment with Dr. McSleazy. He tells Jason that he's a perfect candidate, that they can do the surgery on Thursday, and that it will involve injecting shark stem cells into his spine. Come AGAIN? Tim, the wheels slowly, sloooowwwly turning in his head that this might just be a bad idea, asks McSleazy why this isn't legal in the US. "Because the FDA are a bunch of crybabies," he replies. Well why didn't you say so! Sign me up!

Landry and Tyra are hanging out at the other restaurant in Dillon that is not the Arctic Freeze or Applebees. But they're not with each other. Landry is telling Matt that he needs a new girl as a rebound from Julie, and Tyra is with her sister and her stripper friends, discussing some sort of business venture that involves girls walking around people's lawns naked. No, really. The two young murderers watch in horror as a couple of uniformed and serious-looking police officers walk over to Landry's table. It is tense for a moment, then they demand to know why the Panthers are losing. Close call. Landry quickly puts away his revolver, and Tyra hides her...rope. There. That's all the Clue weapons. Where's my complimentary game, Parker Brothers?

Over at the board meeting, Buddy is running down his laundry list of reasons why they fired Coach Asshat. Asshat has a shrill attorney at his side, and while she makes a couple decent points, she is no match for the hurricane that is Buddy Garrity. She asks if he speaks for everyone on the board. "You bet your ass I do," he says.

Buddy Garrity: Purveyor of Smug Smirks

Tami and Coach call Julie into their room to have a talk. They have decided to tentatively (very very VERY tentatively) revoke her grounding, as long as she agrees to behave like a normal human being from now on. She says thank you and flies out of the house, congratulating her father as he goes. Confused, he grabs the newspaper to read the headline "MacGregor Fired - Taylor To Replace Him." The multitudes rejoice.

Later on, it's poor Tami's turn to teach her little hellion how to drive. They're practicing parking, and, as expected, it's not going well. She makes Julie turn the car off and just sit for a minute. Then she decides it's time for a Talk. She tells Julie about a guy she liked when she was a teenager. He was older than her, she had a big crush on him, she proceeded to lose her virginity to him, and the next morning he barely remembered who she was. She voices some concern about The Swede, saying that Julie may like him but he might not like her. Julie insists that he does. "Well, he doesn't love you. And that's the difference," Tami says. LOVE. HER.
