Franklin & Bash - 2.10 (650 To SLC)

[vic_amy_z]

And it just keeps getting better... Seriously, having cracked the 'getting the episode to download before work' issue (hello 5.00am, I never knew you existed from this side!) I then had to watch this episode while hiding behind my monitor with my fist shoved in my mouth, so I didn't accidentally yell, "OMG JARED'S FACE!!!" across the office! Although I did text it a lot to gingerpig...

Things I loved:

~ Oh god, Leonard is such an asshole, and Stanton obviously hates him. I've never heard so much venom delivered so politely.
~ Pindar having such a problem with Emily is kind of cute - I like that he wants to preserve their status quo.
~ Jared in his PJs! [dies a little]
~ Why does Peter and Jared commenting on each other's underwear make me so happy? Why must I be twelve about this?!
~ Jared can't stop kissing his girlfriend in the lift, and the look on Peter's face is all about the fact that he can't practice law for a week. Nothing to do with the fact that his boyfriend is kissing someone else. No. Not at all. [shakes head]
~ Jared wants to sexually harass Peter? How is this news?!
~ Peter and Jared on the bleachers - now why do I want to see them in exactly the same position, only at seventeen?!
~ I love their absolute and unwavering commitment to Stanton. And the fact that they never pass up an opportunity to have a stand off with Damien.
~ Jared's impression of his dad - it made me laugh but it was also kind of sad, the fact that Jared could say something so horrible and Leonard's secretary didn't even bat an eyelid.
~ Peter on the stand! Such a shame that Jared didn't get to cross-examine him...
~ JARED'S FACE!! Learning that Hanna was the one who betrayed them had to hurt.
~ Valentine's Day remote control sex toys?! And they didn't even try to pretend that there was a woman involved! [loves]
~ Oh god, why is "I'm sorry" such a beautiful phrase in Jared's mouth?
~ The 'phone slide' along the bar - awesome!
~ Park City? Is that the location of the summer house? How many 'places' do the Franklins have? And how many of them have Jared and Peter fucked in?
~ PETER'S FACE! JARED'S FACE! ALL THE FACES!! Oh lord, they're not taking this well...
~ I loved everything about Peter and Jared being so obnoxious - the fishing story, the inappropriate touching, auctioning first class seats, riding the hostess trolley - Everything!
~ Peter and Jared saving the day! [dances] And Damien's begrudging toast was lovely...
~ Pindar calling Emily 'Yoko'... Right there with you, Pindy!
~ Okay, so we didn't get a Peter/Jared hug this season, but we got Peter slapping Jared's ass - I'll take that!
~ Peter and Jared still being pissed at Stanton was perfect, as was their forgiveness.
~ "Daddy's home..."? Seriously?! So not helping my inappropriate Malcolm McDowall crush here!
~ "The only better boss would be us..." PLEASE tell me that's a set up for Season 3?!

Things I was less happy about:

~ In the opening three seconds, how fast was that fountain running?! Yeah, I know I'm being picky here, but it really freaked me out - I thought my download was sped up and I was going to have to spend the rest of the episode listening to Peter and Jared sound like Pinky and Perky on helium!
~ OMG, are Jared and Emily actually glued together?! Dude, be a grown up!
~ I'm sorry - Jared has a sister?! Way to throw in random family members we never knew existed! Unless its just one of those stupid jock jokes? [clings in hope]
~ 'Horse vagina'? Seriously?!
~ Stanton hired Peter and Jared because they were liabilities?! Not cool, Stanton. Not cool...
~ And Leonard really would have no trouble firing his son. Asshole.
~ Also, who's the other Franklin in 'Franklin & Franklin'?
~ Emily - You've been fun for a couple of episodes. Now it's time for you to go. Bye bye.

Here, have ALL THE QUOTES:

PETER: Nice underroos. Can we go? You gotta get dressed, I got a meeting with Tommy Dale.
JARED: Okay, keep your shorts on.

JARED: Sure you don't want me to go with you to help out? Y'know, what with me being licensed and all, and you not having a...
PETER: It's funny.
JARED: It is funny. 'Cause you know what it makes you? An Intern! And I need someone to sexually harass and get me coffee on the double.
PETER: Alright. If I let you come, will you shut up with the disbarment jokes?
JARED: [thinks] Not a chance.
PETER: Fine. Fine!
JARED: Fine. Get the door for me.
PETER: I hate you.
JARED: You are fine. See that? I'm harassing you already. Get the door...
PETER: HR!

TOMMY: What is anime porn anyway?
PETER: [looks away] I don't know...
JARED: [looks away] I don't know why you're looking at us, I don't know...

DAMIEN: Stanton never should have hired you two. You're bait for a scumbag like Leonard Franklin.
JARED: Hey! That's my crappy dad you're trashing.
PETER: And it's not like Stanton hiring his inbred nephew was brilliant leadership.
DAMIEN: Is it true you lost your bar card?
PETER: Is it true that your mom's on my speed dial?
JARED: Alright, leave my intern alone...

PETER: They're gonna ask about the marriage.
JARED: Yes they are, and as your attorney, I recommend you answer their questions to the best of your recollection.
PETER: I'm not gonna pay you for that advice.
JARED: You're gonna pay me for this.
PETER: You're terrible...

LAWYER: Please answer the question.
PETER: And if I don't?
JUDGE: You know exactly what I'll do to you, Mr Bash.
PETER: I've never been held in contempt as a witness before. Have at it!

PETER: Hey! Karp! You kept a file on us?
DAMIEN: So?
JARED: So, besides stabbing us in the back and being a total douche, you were also going to put this whole firm in jeopardy?
DAMIEN: To be clear, I was only stabbing you in the back because I ran out of room in the front. And actually, it's your behaviour that puts this firm in jeopardy, not someone taking notes.

STANTON: Unfortunately, digital files that are dragged into the trash go through a security filter. The server flags key words like 'leveraged judge' or 'tele-dildo-onics'.
DAMIEN: Tele-dildo-onics?
PETER: Remote control sex toys.
STANTON: [looks]
PETER: Valentine's Day gift.
JARED: [nods]

STEWARDESS: Sir, please raise your seat.
PETER: Actually, I'm curious - why is that?
STEWARDESS: Because the pilot asked you to.
PETER: The pilot? But what's so dangerous about flying while napping?
STEWARD: Sir, if you won't co-operate, I'm going to have to get the co-pilot
JARED: Woah, he's going to tell on us, Peter. We'll be in co-trouble from the co-pilot, right?
LEONARD: Jared, grow up. He's just doing his job.
JARED: Sorry, pop.
STEWARD: [reaching for Jared's belt] Buckle your seatbelt!
JARED: Whoa!
PETER: Whoa!
JARED: Just grazed my penis. He just touched me inappropriately.
STEWARD: I didn't - I didn't touch his penis.
PETER: I witnessed.
STEWARD: I didn't graze his...
JARED: He did, he did...
PETER: You okay?
JARED: I'm not okay. Dad?!
LEONARD: Jared! Do I have to come back there?
JARED: Dad, he touched little Jared!

LEONARD: Don’t worry, I have no problem firing my son.
BROCK: Actually, you will. They're equity partners, they can't be fired.
LEONARD: Huh?

ROGERS: You wanna join me in the hot tub? There's women in there.
DAMIEN: Um, not if I was on fire.
JARED: There were women in there...

PINDAR: We're all very happy here, Yoko.

And now we just have to wait for news on Season 3. 'Cause there has to be a Season 3, right? I mean, come on - Season 2 was epic. We had water tanks, guns, short jokes, flashbacks, Bear, costumes, eyeliner, Douglas, singing, daddy issues, plane sex, matching tattoos... How could they not give us a Season 3?! [clings to the interwebs in hope]

The Franklins have lots of places and Jared and Peter have fucked in all of them.

Actually, that sounds like one of those fic things - Four Franklin houses Jared and Peter wanted/tried to fuck in, and the one they actually did...

I have so much love for this epi. I'm going to find it hard not to re watch again before we do tomorrow. But I must resist. Four times before we get to it might be a tad excessive...

[vic-amy-z.livejournal.com]

See, I knew you could reassure me that Peter and Jared have totally done it in every place imaginable!

Actually, that sounds like one of those fic things - Four Franklin houses Jared and Peter wanted/tried to fuck in, and the one they actually did...

Dude! First refusal as it's your idea, but if you don't take it - I will! That's an awesome fic idea... And I've been *this* close to watching the episode again today, but I'm trying to hold out until tonight. There will be A LOT of squee!

[gingerpig.livejournal.com]

I will play with it and see what happens. I've never really done a '5 Times fic' but always fancied it...

There will be a stupid amount of squee. I have warned the men appropriately *g*

[fobmarwi.livejournal.com]

who's the other Franklin in 'Franklin & Franklin'?
Maybe is Jared's sister? OMG, sibling rivalry, I need that episode...there could be pranks included!

I don't know why I heard Peter say 'Is it true that my mom's in your speed dial?' Maybe because I desperately want Damien/Colleen fic...and Hanna being jealous

Now that we know Pindy and Carmen hate Emily too, I'm kinda expecting some sort of Parent Trap thing where they scare her away so Jared and Peter can get back together...

[vic-amy-z.livejournal.com]

Wow, finding out Jared might have a sister was crazy enough, but one that is happy to practice law with Leonard?! Now that would be a complete mindfuck!!

I loved that Peter made a comment about Damien's mom, when we know that it's highly possible that Damien *has* actually slept with Peter's mom!

And why do I think that Carmen and Pindar trying to get rid of Emily 'Parent Trap' style could be an amazing episode?!

[vic-amy-z.livejournal.com]

If Emily ends up being the cause of Jared being a bit sad and broken next season, I may almost be pursuaded to overlook the fact that she was dull and boring and so clearly not deserving of the amount of adoration that Jared seemed to be bestowing upon her. Which would so clearly be better directed towards Peter! Because sad and broken Jared is always a beautiful thing.

Obviously, right now I'd just settle for there *being* a next season... [frets]
