Diane confides in Sam that
she and a college student could very well be an item, despite their age
difference. He just happens to be good-looking on the level of a Greek god, so
much so that Sam doesn’t believe he exists. Enter Lance Apollonaire, dreamboat
extraordinaire – so real, in fact, that Carla passes out twice. He’s asked
Diane out for a weekend in Vermont, but she delays answering, mainly because
she’s hoping it will make Sam insanely jealous. Does it? After playing it cool,
he teaches Diane a lesson on how to make another man green with envy – by
planting a passionate smooch on her to indicate that perhaps he’s got some
longing for her after all. Subplot: Cliff gets Norm to join his lodge, the
Knights of the Scimitar. Reluctant at first, he starts warming up to his
“brothers,” until they pass a referendum… to ban beer at all meetings.
Despite its title, this
episode is really more about the Sam/Diane story, and it’s a good one. The
hitherto episodes about Diane still trying to reclaim Sam’s heart after
declining his marriage proposal may be over – what comes next could be anyone’s
guess. Funniest scenes involves Carla’s throbbing lust for Lance, especially
the final joke in which she kisses him to
show how to make someone jealous.
Cold open: one of Cliff’s
postal co-workers busts his chops for a uniform violation. Cliff gets back with
the old “peer through viewfinder and get inky eye” trick.
Norm’s opener: Woody: “What’s
the story, Mr. Peterson?” Norm: “Zsa Zsa marries a millionaire, Norm drinks a
beer. Film at 11.”
