Man--nobody's posted in a bit! The last 2 episodes were GREAT!!!
First of all, Louis gets paid a visit the next day by the woman he *ALMOST* hooked up with and she returns his wallet. Meanwhile, Rockefeller Butts is using the alias Reginald Van Hoogstraaten and gets a job with the security firm that is guarding Mick's place.
The episode where Rockefeller gets the honesty test to deliver $150,000.00 to an address in Atlantic City, NJ was pretty funny. Squatch wants to split the money up, while Eugene wants to deliver it so they can live the dream. The team goes back and forth, the cab breaks down and they all stay the night in a motel (Louis sleeps in his undies next to Ezperanza and drools on her in his sleep!), and then when they finally deliver the money, it turns out to be fake $100 bills all with the Dump... ERRR... DONALD's face on them!!!
Last night's ep was even funnier--Rockefeller is a floater with the security firm and ends up doing security for SCREEECH (Dustin Diamond--who does a great PARODY of himself!). Meanwhile he befriends Ralph Carnucci, who is on Jagger's team. Under the premise of a poker game, Ralph gets brought into Glickman's and proceeds to take all the money of all the team, who are all using fake names (Eugene = Bernie, Gourishankar = Mike, Ezperanza = Madonna, Squatch = Lou, Louis = Eugene?!?!?). Well, except for Louis, who passes out under the table after a couple of shots of Tequila!
Anyhoo, Ralph is ticked about his and Rockefeller's boss at the security company, one Frank Courtland. Rockefeller got his ass chewed out because he asked for a permanent assignment. New guys are all "floaters" until a "permie" spot opens. Ralph had worked 3 years before he got his assignment with Mick, and he HATES Frank Courtland. Seeing an in-road, Eugene takes Ralph up on the top of the warehouse and talks about feeling a certain vibe from Ralph, meaning he thinks Ralph might want in on their heist. However, the vibe that ralph is getting from *Bernie* (Eugene) is that there is a romantic spark--yep, Ralph is gay--and he has just asked our fearless leader on a date.
Suffice it to say, hijinks ensue as Eugene has to overcome his extreme discomfort to try to see if he can seduce his way into getting info from Ralph. Ralph doesn't get the details, but insists he's a good Catholic boy and figures as long as he commits no other sins, Jesus will "let the whole Gay thing slide." Ralph also mentioned that he has to keep it on the down low because the last security employee that got outed was fired under suspiscious circumstances by one Frank Courtland, who is actually banging the hot secretary behind his wife's back.
After reconvening, the team is debating how to get Rockefeller a position at Mick's security detail. Gourishankar and Squatch want to "out the homosex" and get him fired, but Eugene refuses, saying "Ralph is one of us--he's working his ass off for his dreams and getting no respect." However, upon remembering what Ralph said about Frank Courtland, the team follows him around as he's out with the Secretary, snapping pictures and looking like a bunch of tourists. They then mail the pics to Frank Courtland with a letter stating "Resign NOW, or these get sent to your wife." Ralph later on gets Frank's old job and Rockefeller, alias Reginald Van Hoogstraaten is now on Mick Jagger's team! The final shot has our team marching down in their orange shirts with white lettering, all wearing these large, pink, furry, pimp hats that Gourishankar called "The Gay Hat"!
I felt a bit of a Grey's Anatomy vibe going on here as some folks wanted to out Ralph at work, something he didn't want. However, we see Eugene is not without compassion, and understands Ralph despite the fact that Eugene is straight, and instead does Ralph a big favor, in order to get the team what they needed--an inside man! While some of the usual homophobic discomfort ensues for Eugene Gurkin, overall he acts decently and with compassion--or as much as we can expect from a Blue Collar New York would-be heist ringleader!
We da Knights, baby!!!
