"How Not to Make a First Impression"


Mr. Franklin opens his front door to see Adam, who has a date arranged with his daughter Amy. Mr. Franklin invites Adam to sit down and asks him what he thinks of Amy. Adam describes Amy as "really hot" and talks about how much he wants to smack her butt. An unamused Mr. Franklin calls Adam a disrespectful example of his generation and asks Adam what is wrong with him when Adam displays signs of illness. Adam explains that he had recently eating Mexican food, which gives him bad gas.

Adam goes to reach for some Tums in his pocket but spills out a couple dozen packets of condoms. An incredulous Mr. Franklin sternly asks what he had planned with his daughter. Adam casually talks about how Amy might have STDs or not be on birth control and wanted to ensure safety.

Mr. Franklin, now angry, is in the middle of calling Adam "the biggest jackass" he had ever met before the teenager gives off more gas, the smell of which forces him to recoil. Not helping the matters, he orders Adam to leave. Adam tries to apologize but is thrown out of the house.
