Shane's domain — There's a knock at the door. It's a woman with flowers. She gives Shane the flowers and a hint or two, and the next thing we know, they're going at it in the kitchen. Can you imagine being Shane? Me neither. Well, there was that one time that I sort of confused the name of the woman I'd slept with the night before with the name of the one I'd slept with the night before that, but that was one time, not every damn week. And I was 19, not 25 or whatever Shane is.

So the flower delivery girl has a nametag that says "Betty," and I really really hope she doesn't start singing. Never mind; her mouth is full of Shane.

A gym — Charlotte Birch (my girlfriend Sandra Bernhard) is working out, sort of lazily, and giving Jenny some advice. She also hints that perhaps Jenny has drawn a bit too much on Charlotte's "rodeo days" stories. Jenny says she doesn't think she's imitating Charlotte's voice. Charlotte draws the line:

Charlotte: "I'm not into the whole student-teacher transference thing. I'd prefer to keep the boundaries between us crisp and clear."

Jenny smiles and is nice and tries to leave, but then another Birch student — I suppose he's sort of hunky, but I'm just not into that — shows up. He's there to spot Charlotte on the bench press. Aha — so it's not transference in itself, but the particular transferor who's at issue. I don't generally lust after Jenny, but I'd definitely choose her over this guy.

Charlotte stops Jenny and gives her an assignment: "Try not speaking for the rest of the day. Not a word. Try communicating all your needs without using audible language."

I love the way Jenny says "Why?" in reply. Yeah, I just used the words "love" and "Jenny" in the same sentence. Feel sorry for me.

The flower delivery — So it turns out that Mark paid the delivery girl to have sex with Shane. He and Gomey are watching the whole thing. Have I mentioned that I would like to stretch Gomey's tongue around his neck and strangle him with it?

Mark zooms in on Shane's face because he wants to "know what she's feeling." Want to know what I'm feeling, Mark? It starts with "n" and rhymes with "ausea."
