Playboy Club 01x02 - "The Scarlett Bunny"
the scarlett bunny:
"The difference between bunnies and playmates--bunnies stay clothed." THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION FOR ALICE and the primary reason she's cool with doing the bunny thing.
"Either way my husband will kill me." WHAT A HANDY EXCUSE.
To Janie: "You're always naked." 1. she notices. >> 2. it's helpful to come off as a prude in general. 3. she might just not like janie much.
...unrelated side note: I'm so glad she sings the phrase "flat-foot floozy," because trolololol.
okay, nick's running for state's attorney. got it.
ACTUALLY I'M NOT A THING is probably my favourite line that Maureen says, because it's spirited, if stupid.
Sean Maher's hands are elegant, I will give him that. such an exciting job, speechwriting.
"Do you want me to come?" this is a question she throws out a lot more than he does--I imagine she plays up the "well, my husband doesn't really approve, but..." image as much as possible at work, considering none of the bunnies have seen him in a year.
OH THEY'RE EATING CHICKEN KIEV IN THAT SCENE. why the fuck would sean decide that in advance, is she really good at making it or something
rewatching this scene, the "my parents are coming for dinner" scene, I feel absolutely no guilt making sean kind of catty in private and both of them apt to tease each other, because it's obviously true. sean gets sarcastic, and alice sighs, and they hug. and probably vice versa. this is probably my single favourite scene in the entire three episodes, because it's most of where I'm taking my characterization of their relationship. because they're just so cute, and they just--they like each other way too much to fight for long on small things and just try to weather them. because they have grand times together.
(I also like it because it's such a sitcom staple, plotwise--the dreaded inlaws are coming over--and they've successfully put a new spin on it. so good job, them.)
OH. "my dad's business trip" means they're visiting chicago. he isn't actually from chicago. so I'll need to rethink that entire bit.
the fact that part of the deal was that alice was supposed to play at being a houswife really sucks for her.
I GUESS IT'S...EVERY BUNNY FOR HERSELF. *puts on sunglasses* YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH. thanks, Brenda.
bunny training @2pm. that sucks to have to come in during the middle of the day.
"the bunny dip" is the thing they're doing with the cocktails, I guess.
I do like janie and her beau. they're adorable together. I wish they could have gotten their shit together.
yep, Alice wants everyone to think she's a prude. but maureen is just so ~*~pretty~*~. and they're going to take the pictures after work, which means ass-late at night, poor things.
...I really need to figure out what last call is in this case. because I'm getting the sense that it's 2am, which means that it takes Alice an hour to get home? idk, I have to rewatch the first episode, because she clearly gets home a little after 3am, and I don't get the sense that they got off at 3am--after all, they're at the party a little while before they drag Maureen down to it. maybe they get off at 2am and it takes about half an hour, forty-five minutes to get changed and ready to go, and then it's fifteen minutes to half an hour to get home. I think that's what I'm going to say, because otherwise they live way out in the suburbs, and I just plain don't want them to.
the best part about taking pictures of Maureen is that she can just blame her flutteriness with...being fluttery and prudish. rather than the exact opposite of that, lol. apparently that was a difficult thing to do--man, she's got to be pretty much completely gone for Maureen. that is the big downside to working there, even if she plays it off as a benefit to Sean--she's surrounded by terribly pretty women, and if she's attracted to any of them, she sees them scantily clad all the time. I imagine she has to start trying to shut all that out, because what a hideous, frustrating distraction.
Alice's job is to smooth things over at family dinners and fail to think of quick responses about grandchildren.
awww, so. Sean's parents hold hands on top of the table and then, after a moment, Alice puts her hand out and Sean takes it. They probably play the "let's just do what the other couple is doing and hope that looks right" game fairly often.
"I agree, it sounds awful." she probably gets pretty used to playing the prude, lol, since she has to on all sides.
This is also the first time anyone's ever seen Sean at the playboy club. God, I want the dressing room conversation about Alice's ~*~husband~*~.
SEAN'S DAD IS RACIST~
...I love the implication that Nick just knows implicitly who Alice is. but I suppose he would, since Alice and Carol-Lynne know each other pretty well at this point, being contemporaries of a sort, and she's probably told Sean about Nick. so yeah, makes sense.
...that's an interesting little irony, that Alice has worked there probably longer than any of the other non-Carol-Lynne bunnies, and she's got the most prudish cover.
Sean's conversation with Nick is great, because it just basically delineates everything about his ~*~feelings~*~ about politics. fun~!
I don't think I'm going to bother writing out clothing descriptions--at least, not right now, because the TV screen is terrible right now for cable and I think Alice dresses pretty generally fashionably.
