JJ: Lover! I got a gig! Mike: A gig? You mean, a gallery? JJ: Better! A commission! I met a guy who wants me to do the bathrooms in a club he's opening on 9th Street! He can't pay me, but he'll throw me an opening when I'm done! It's an incredible opportunity! In fact, I can only think of one down side... Mike: A down side? To painting a total stranger's toilets for free? JJ: Yeah. It could come off as a blatant career move.

If memory serves me right, this sequence has a lot of bathroom humor in it, especially the grand opening of the exhibit. (Or was that Kim’s gig?) Re the picture posted by Missanyssa, the Vermont Marble exhibit in Proctor displays a lot of toilets, all in the open and none connected up. Nevertheless, at one point they had to put up a sign: DO NOT USE.

Reminds me of the “Fawlty Towers” episode where a customer asked Polly if she earns much money selling her drawings. She replied, “Just enough to keep me in waitressing.”
