"And the best part about eloping on a cruise is that we were already in Cancun!" She doesn't add how it made it easier for her to be filmed for Girls Gone Wild Cancun Style, Spring Break 2008. "We honeymooned in his timeshare." He has a timeshare on the ship?
"That is so great," Hilda says through gritted teeth. "And you shouldn't feel bad, everyone gains weight on a cruise." Hilda, you are my new hero, I can't wait to use some iteration of that on someone soon.
"You're probably not used to seeing designer clothes," Gina says. Well, not all of them heaped on one person at the same time, Glamour Don't. "Roomier is a look you pay for." I don't remember seeing that article in Vogue. Gina says she just wanted to come back to the neighborhood to see her old friends. "And I wanted to know how you're doing, of course."
Hey, it takes money to look this trashy
Hilda gives her the so-busy comment. "You were lucky I could fit you in today." Yes, you are swamped and the phone is just ringing off the hook. Gina tells her the "salon" a.k.a. "back porch" is adorable.
"It kind of reminds me of my closet up in Mount Kisco." What, no cedar? Hilda plays the Santos card, calling it a difficult year. "I was sorry to hear about Santos. But if I have learned anything (from the fortune teller on the cruise?), is that there is a higher power that has a plan for all of us. Maybe you're just meant to be alone." Yes, that's why God killed Santos, to punish Hilda. Money really does buy class. Hilda pokes her in the nail. Well, at least the anger management classes are coming in handy, otherwise she would have stabbed the nail all the way through.
"You are so good at this," Gina says, adding, "Maybe I should come back later so you can do my feet." Too bad Hilda prefers strawberry to your toe jam. "Oh, and I can bring Larry, it'll be fun...ciao," she says and walks out. Hilda really should start charging her customers if she wants this business to work. Again, probably why she should be in a salon where most of the time people remember to do that.
Betty comes around the corner to see Renee at her desk messing with The Schedule! "WTF?" Betty asks, just more politely.
"Oh, I'm concerned about Daniel's posture and I found this great Alexander Technique teacher, but he can only see him this afternoon." Seriously, I need a pre-cancerous mole looked at and I have to wait two months for an appointment. I should fly to NY because clearly the doctors have taken a page from the Appointment Book of Hilda. Renee makes the mistake of moving one of Betty's post-its to another section of the calendar. Oh, hell no!
"Daniel's schedule is my job, so please don't touch his calendar." Again, Betty, use the one in Outlook. So much easier than colorful post-its and less chance someone will molest it. No means no! Betty moves the post-it back.
"Daniel's my boyfriend, so if I want him to do something, you can't stop him missy." Post-it moved. Did she really just call Betty missy?
"Well he's not available this afternoon." Isn't it ironic that the laziest person in this show is the busiest out of all of them? Odd. Betty checkmates the post-it and pulls the schedule away from Renee. Bad move, Betty. They start pulling on either end of the schedule and suddenly the book burst and more post-its than were on the calendar fall from the ceiling like confetti, and someone at 3M gets fired for shoddy sticky-back work.
Is it New Year's already?
Daniel, ever the doof, happens upon this scene and says, "What's going on?" It's surprising he doesn't carry a drool cup around with him.
Betty finds her backbone, walks over to Daniel, and under her breath spats, "Daniel, I tried. It's not working. I know you really like this girl, but when it comes to this office, it's her or me." Let's see...Betty saves your ass all the time, Renee just wants your ass. It's gonna be a draw for Daniel.
"What the hell was that?" He asks Renee.

Good recall, Crabby, maybe too good. 11 pages to do one episode of Ugly Betty? You wrote down all the lines in the dialog. Too much information! Your earnestness wins you a hearty thank you, but I found myself skipping through after page 3. Brevity, my friend, brevity!

Thanks for recapping, Crabby (with Cancer as my star sign, I love the nickname). Talma is right, though...the recap is quite long.

I hope you keep the recaps, though - just in case I stop watching the show, which nis becoming more and more likely as the show does on. F'ing Charlie. I promise to look the other way if you wanna go back to hitting pregnant women just this once.
