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]

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?!
