DO YOU JUST HAVE A TEENY, TINY SECOND? SCOTT: WELL, MAKE IT SNAPPY. LUCY: OK. YOU KNOW BORDISSO TOLD US ABOUT HIS WAR-TORN ROMANCE IN ALGERIA, RIGHT? SCOTT: RIGHT. LUCY: OK. PICTURE THIS THE 1950s, THE 1960s YOU KNOW, WAR-TORN ALGERIA, THE FRENCH-ALGERIAN WAR. TWO LOVERS BOMBS BURSTING BEHIND THEM, BLASTING IN THE AIR. THE COLORS, THE SMELLS. DO YOU LOVE IT? SCOTT: YEAH. THEN ONE LOVER SAYS, "TAKE ME TO THE CASBAH." LUCY: WHY DO I DO THIS? WHY DO I EVEN RUN THIS STUFF BY YOU AT ALL? SCOTT: BECAUSE I'M AN IDEA MAN, ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL BE. AND THIS IS A GOOD IDEA. LUCY: OH, GOOD. SO YOU LIKE IT? OK. I'M GOING TO RUN WITH IT. GO. OK. TELL KAREN HI, OK? OK. TA! HAVE FUN! SERENA: OK, BYE! LUCY: BYE! [TELEPHONE RINGS] VICTOR: HELLO? LUCY: HELLO.

FRANK: THE PROSPECT OF SENDING RAMSEY DOWN IN FLAMES IS A LOT MORE INTERESTING TO ME THAN WATCHING KAREN AND MY BROTHER PLAY OZZIE AND HARRIET ALL NIGHT. COURTNEY: WELL, NOW THAT CHRIS IS BUYING MY INHERITANCE STORY, IT'S TIME TO MOVE TO PHASE TWO. ONE LOOK AT HIS CONTRACT WITH LANCE, AND WE'LL KNOW WHERE ALL THE BODIES ARE BURIED.

I'M TRYING TO MOVE THIS THING. CHRIS: YOU KNOW, NO OFFENSE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE KNOW EACH OTHER WELL ENOUGH FOR YOU TO BE REARRANGING MY FURNITURE NOW. COURTNEY: OH, WATCH IT. YOUR EGO IS SHOWING. I'M NOT TRYING TO MOVE IN ON YOU. I TOOK OFF MY RING TO COOK, AND IT ROLLED BEHIND THE CABINET HERE. CHRIS: OH.
