All of which come with Parents of Jr. HS/High Schoolers in the next room. Which should not matter one bit, but does for those who want to “Go Out” to get away from exactly that.
1. $18.65? I thought this story began with Michael being broke and needing to borrow $5 from Gordon just so he could go on the date. Math broke, not Mike.
2. Snort? It looks like Gordon is wiping his nose from crying about Allyson. Suddenly I get a feeling for the torture Mike and Martha went through watching that movie while having to listen to Gordon sob behind them the whole time.
3. Better off not having a girlfriend? Complaining about how awful it is to have a girlfriend to your friend who can’t get a date is a lot like complaining about how it stinks to go to work to a friend who’s unemployed. At least he doesn’t slam Martha until after she leaves for the washroom.
4. Freedom? Michael is able to leave his house at night to go on a date with his girlfriend and his parents are oblivious. That’s pretty free. How much more freedom does 14-year-old Michael want?
I remember when my first boyfriend, first name Bill, could take me to the $1 Friday night horror movie special on the other side of town (bus ride) and buy popcorn for 50 cents. I would eat just a few. I was crushed when he moved. PS. He kept had snakes in his house’s basements, that’s how I learned snakes were not slimy.
Was the movie they saw Gordon’s Big Adventure? Something like this:
Gordon and Allyson are riding a motorcycle in the forest while spy music plays
Gordon: Let us take a break Allyson, the Y-1 needs to cool off for a bit.
Allyson: I could cool off myself, Gordon.
Gordon and Allyson are about to kiss when suddenly a group of ninjas appears out of nowhere. Allyson struggles lamely while Gordon uses judo to fend them all off. However, one jumps on motorcycle and rides off
Gordon: I have got to get to a phone.
Hotel lobby. A bellboy is working at the front desk
Gordon: Any messages for me? The name is Mayes, Gordon Mayes.
Bellboy: No nothing right now, Mr. Mayes.
Gordon: OK, I will be in the bar.
Bellboy: Paging Mr. Mayes. Mr. Mayes, please pick up a white courtesy phone. Gordon grabs phone receiver from bellboy
Gordon: Hello? Oh no….Yes, sir, I understand.
Gordon hangs upAllyson: Who was that?
Gordon: That was the President of Canada. I have got to steal back the Y-1 before the Soviets find the secret microfiche hidden in the glove compartment. The future of the relatively-free world is dependent on my mission.
Allyson: I am going with you.
Gordon: No, it is too dangerous. You don’t want to get mixed up with the likes of me, Allyson. I am a loner, a rebel.
Allyson: I designed the Y-1. I am going with you, and that is final.
Three little words every girl wants to hear, but most guys cannot say it honestly, or are scared to do so, or may be wise not to say it entirely. Those three little words: “I’m a millionaire”.

Where is Martha after the first panel? Does she hear Michael’s comments? I hope not.

I hate it when the value of a person’s company is calculated in terms of money.
