Sometimes penny can, and sometimes penny can't. This time, it's penny undecided, when the whole gang is at Jules' living room slash kitchen. While Jules is going through her lists with the girls, we discover that if Travis was girl, Jules would have called him Jay-jay (I guess Coco was already taken), that Jules is the hottest one of the group and that Penny Can is the most boring game in the planet.
In order to make Penny Can less boring, Laurie comes up with an alternate game, “Truth or Penny Can”. In this game, when someone misses the can they are asked a personal question. Although his many hours of practice, Bobby misses it, making Ellie jump on the opportunity like a gangsta' lion onto his redneck pray. She asks him if he feels ashamed to be taking money from Jules every month. This makes him storm out and to decide to stop accepting Jules' money and help.
This makes Jules so extremely happy, that she is forced to torture Grayson by stealing his fries (he is a battered, poor, man), but in order to actually make it happen Bobby has to make some sacrifices: he'll need to give more golf lessons, sell dog Travis' sperm (who the hell buys dogs sperm, and what does he use it for?! Forget it. I don't want to know. Really), and give up his health insurance. Which is stupid. Because he is Bobby. Not long after, and Jules' is having a party to celebrate her “new found money” (by drinking margaritas with crushed aspirin. Does it even taste good?), and Bobby goes and pretends he is a dog. He tries to catch a frisbee with his teeth, but naturally and necessary for the dramatic continuity, he fails, falls and dislocates his shoulder. Leaving Jules to pick up the pieces, literally, and put them back into place. More on that later.
Meanwhile, Laurie who was broken up with, by Smith, seems to be taking the breakup well. Maybe too well. So well that Grayson and Andy suspect she might be a robot. Okay, they don't actually think that, but they do think it's weird. At first Laurie goes to Smith' place to pick up her stuff, and meets his exuberantly happy father there (who seem to have gone more senile and insane since we first met him). Then they both trick Grayson and Andy to think she is attacking Smith violently. Then they hang out. Then they sleep together. Then Smith tells Laurie they shouldn't act like a couple anymore. She is fine with it all. Nothing takes her down. Eventually, and after agreeing that both Andy and Travis are the women in their relationships, Andy gets Laurie to admit she will miss her special moments with Smith. She was probably just faking it to get those women (Andy and Grayson, obviously) off her masculine, yet delicate back.
As we move to the Ellie island, we meet her as she realizes that there are other people who are stupid apart from Laurie. They are called Jules and Bobby, and (together with Laurie) they declare Mexico an island, because it has beaches. Even though Florida has beaches too, and it is not an island. Ellie puts on her condescending hat, and too, declares everyone but herself and Travis as stupid. After a while of superior bitchiness, Jules is tired from Ellie's attitude and proves to her that she is just like them. This, actually works – and Ellie is depressed by this news. She takes the time off being evil or condescending, to perfect her penny can skills, and although it makes her sad, she becomes the most skillful of the group. She gets so amazing, she can actually perform penny can tricks. Travis notices them, and notices she is not herself. He brings her up again, by telling her that they are both still better than everyone else, because they are so smart, they can fool everyone to think that they are smarter than they actually are.
At last, we are back to Bobby. He is still in pain, but refuses to get help from Jules (but using everyone else as his extra hands is fine). Jules though, really wants to be in control of Bobby, so she asks him to come and help her in the office, so to get health insurance. He agrees, but after Jules leaves him in the office to sharpen the pencils (which isn't a euphemism) and think of ways to get more customers, Bobby actually does that. He proves to be a pretty good advertising man, and gets a lot more customers in. Too bad most of them are homeless who just came in because of the free Jules' beer Bobby gave away. Jules is mad at Bobby for messing up her office, but they make up. Jules admits that she takes care of Bobby as a way of revenge of his cheating on her, and ruining the relationship.
If this is revenge, i'd like to order one too, Jules Cobb.
Also, I'd like to ask Ellie to marry me. This is all.
