Betty says it shouldn't be too hard to come up with the $15,000 by the end of the month if they combine everyone's savings. Because Hilda's salon is now a brothel? Also, I immediately did the math and if $15,000 is 5% of the price of the home, the home is $300,000 and there is absolutely no way you could get a single-family home in Jackson Heights for that amount. I even did a quick check online and saw a house that looked like theirs for close to a million (although it did have parking which probably adds $200K to a house price in New York). Oh reality, if you don't hit Betty's wardrobe I guess you won't hit the New York real estate prices either.
Normally the voice of reason, Justin tells Betty to ask Daniel for the money, which hello, are you familiar with the current Meade family situation? Although honestly, Daniel could probably do it from the change he throws away! (I am never going to get over that). Plus, don't you think Betty has earned at least that in a bonus for keeping things together?
I hope that isn't human flesh you're ingesting.
Back on the bus, people are in Wilhelmina's "personal space" and some guy offers Daniel tuna from a can. Well, at least they aren't near one of those twitchy people that you get nervous sitting near, but don't want to move because you'll look like a jerk if the person has some sort of handicap, but you also don't want to be on the news last night because that person was actually crazy and took a bite of your cheek, you know? So many difficult choices face us on public transportation.
Marc and Amanda are coming back from shopping because they aren't getting paid to work either, and Marc is complaining how expensive babies are. And they are messy! "I know, " Amanda says, " 'I need food, I need diapers'...babies are so selfish!" Again, that is why I have dogs. Marc says, "If I never see another baby it will be too soon." It's like I'm soul mates with these two today.
Suddenly Marc and Amanda up and see Daddy McHottie who stops them to talk about the baby shopping they have clearly just completed. "Cello here just loves her little organic cotton onesies," McHottie says. Cello!?! Well, there's always room for Cello I guess.
Hot, except for the huge pink tumor on his chest.
McHottie introduces himself to Marc and Marc indicates he's not with Amanda, that she's just his "hag." I'll say! Marc pretends he has a baby "at home," and McHottie asks if the baby is with his partner. Marc says he's a single dad and so is McHottie! He suggests getting together for a play date and gives Marc his number. Amanda complains McHottie didn't introduce himself to her and Marc says, "Cute and rude. I'm in love." Yeah, but with a guy with a baby. Ick!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Scarier than the clown in Poltergeist
Back at Mode, scary Betty face meets Marc and Amanda right off the elevator, begging for her security deposit which neither has, of course. What ever happened to Marc's Hummer? No, people, the one Willie got him a season or two ago. Probably cashed that baby in already.
Over at Beautilities, Hilda tries charging $200 for a haircut. Yeah, I don't think you can do that after the haircut, you should probably tell them upfront. Also, your work isn't that great. Justin is street-performing for money and will probably be the only one who brings in any cash today.
Next stop, gay porn.
Ah, the government bailout hearing for crappy magazines. Daniel starts out that they are humbled by the economic crisis and I'm thinking no, you are screwed by the CFO crisis. Should have better checks and balances in place next time. Daniel says Meade is an American company founded by an American family, although I would probably push the minority female ownership side of things to get the money.
The chairman says that their flagship magazine is a fashion magazine, and why should the government care about something so frivolous? Yeah, because all of the government's choices are so wise. Also? This guy's southern accent is so heavy my captioning showed his sentence as "sorinthinisso fvolo?" Haha. Willie has a pretty good comeback saying it's part of the backbone of the New York economy and employs thousands of people. They'll take it under advisement.

Matt is sort of a super rich slacker version of henry. I actually like matt for betty, he would introduce her to new things that would cause some great situations for tv (betty in the hamptons??)
Just saw the Matt actor in a mcdonalds 'what can I get for a dollar?' ad, it was odd.

Thanks for writing, Carol. Matt is adorable, meaning he must be hiding the freak somewhere (as we found out on the latest episode). I'll keep an eye out for that ad!
