[Scene: A Theater, the gang is in the audience waiting for a play of Hercules's to start.]

Eliza: (reading the program) Ooh! Look! Look! Look! Look, there's Hercules's picture! This is so exciting!

John: You can always spot someone who's never seen one of his plays before. Notice, no fear, no sense of impending doom...

Peggy: The exclamation point in the title scares me. (Gesturing) Y'know, it's not just Freud, it's Freud!

(The lights dim.)

Alexander: Oh, shhh, shh. Magic is about to happen.

(The lights go up on the stage, Hercules, as Freud, is talking to a female patient.)

Hercules: (tries to do a German accent but fails) Vell, eva, ve've dahne sahme excellAnt wahrk here, ahnd I vould hahve to say, your prahblem ees quiiite clear. (He goes into a song and dance number.)

ahll you wahnt ees a deengle,

or play weeth, or seemply let hahng...

[Scene: The Theater, the play has ended and everyone is applauding. As soon as the cast leaves, the gang all groan and sit down heavily.]

Eliza: God. I feel violated.

Angelica: Did anybody else feel they just wanted to peel the skin off their body, to have something else to do?

John: (staring at a woman across the room) Alexander, ten o'clock.

Alexander: Is it? Feels like two.

John: No, ten o'clock.

Alexander: What?

John: (sighs and gestures to explain) There's a beautiful woman at eight, nine, ten o'clock!

Alexander: Oh. Hel-lo!

John: She's amazing! She makes the women that I dream about look like short, fat, bald men!

Angelica: Well, go over to her! She's not with anyone.

John: Oh yeah, and what would my opening line be? 'Excuse me. Blarrglarrghh.'

Eliza: Oh, c'mon. She's a person, you can do it!

John: Oh please, could she be more out of my league? Alex, back me up here.

Alexander: He could never get a woman like that in a million years.

John: Thanks man.

Peggy: Oh, oh, but y'know, you always see these really beautiful women with these really nothing guys, you could be one of those guys.

Angelica: You could do that!

John: Y'think?

All: Yeah!

John: Oh God, I can't believe I'm even considering this... I'm very very aware of my tongue...

Alexander: C'mon! C'mon!

John: Here goes. (He walks over to her but just stands there and says nothing.)

Aurora: ...Yes?

John: Hi.... um... okay, next word... would be... John! John is my name, and, uh...(He clears his throat noisily)...hi..

Aurora: Yes, you said that.
