ep 2

robin is working the counter at scoops. she hands two customers their ice cream cones, "have a nice day." she says to the customers. "thank you." they reply with. the two customers walk away, behind them stand a young boy with no front teeth smiling at her.

he says, "hi." "hi." she responds with. "i'm dustin." he says to her still smiling. "i'm robin." she says with a small smile. "pleasure to meet you. uh, is he here?" he says pointing to behind the counter. "is who here?" she says pretending to be confused.

steve bursts through the door that leads to the break room. he gasps and smiles, "henderson." he says. they both break out laughing as steve runs over to him. "henderson! he's back!" steve says jumping around like a little kid. "i'm back! you got the job!" dustin says smiling.

they start to do a weird handshake causing robin to look at them confused. "how many children are you friends with?" robin says leaning over the counter. "too many to count robin." kayla says leaning on the door behind them all. steve gives her look that says 'are you okay?' she fakes a smile at him and he nods at her.

dustin is digging into his banana split ice cream sitting in a booth with steve and kayla. "no, no. no way. hotter than phoebe cates? no." steve says to dustin. steve is sitting next to kayla with his arm behind her around her waist. "mm-hmm." dustin hums while eating his ice cream.

"brilliant, too. and she doesn't even care that my real pearls are still coming in. she says kissing is way better without teeth." he says looking at steve. "wow that's great. proud of you man." steve says to him a little confused. "that was too much information." kayla says a little grossed out.

"can you believe my friends ditched me yesterday?" dustin says angry. "those knuckleheads ditched you?" kayla says. "they're gonna regret it though, big time, when they don't get to share in my glory." dustin says pointing. "glory? what glory?" steve asks.

"so last night i was trying to get in contact with suzie, and uh, i intercepted a secret russian communication." dustin says whispering the last part. "what?" steve says not hearing him. "i, uh, i intercepted a secret russian communication." he whispers a little louder. "just speak louder." kayla says. "i intercepted a secret russian communication!" dustin yells as everyone in the ice cream shop looks at him.

"shh jeez yeah that's what i thought you said." steve says looking around. "wait what does that mean?" kayla asks confused. "it means, we could be heroes. true american heroes. just think you can have all the ladies you want. and more." dustin says sitting closer to steve. "and more? i like more." steve says shaking his head.

kayla's smile drops as she scoots farther away from steve making his arm fall from her waist. he notices but doesn't do anything.

"so what's the catch?" kayla asks. "no catch, i just need your help." dustin says. "with what?" steve asks. "translation." dustin says as he holds up a russian to english translation book.

robin takes a small spoon and scoops some ice cream and hands it to the little girl in front of her, erica. "can i try the peppermint stick?" she says. "haven't you already tried the peppermint stick?" robin says annoyed. "yes, and i'd like to try it again." she says. "steve! kayla!" she yells turning to the back room window.

steve, dustin, and kayla are listening to the tape for the hundredth time. kayla is half awake and steve is snacking on everything to stay awake.

"so, what do you think?" dustin says. "it sounded familiar." steve says eating a banana. "probably because we've listening to it 800 times." she groans getting annoyed. "what sounds familiar?" dustin asks steve ignoring kayla. "the music at the end." steve says. "why are you listening to the music steve? listen to the russian! we're translating russian!" dustin yells. "it's not like he can understand russian!" kayla yells back. "he should still listen to it rather than the music in the background." dustin says getting impatient.
