It
is announced that kids have been hired to work at
the T.H.E. Television Network so the company can save
money. The kids meet Lois, the waitress at the Network
Canteen, who charges Kevin $12 in advance for a steak
that he doesn't even have time to eat!
When
the crew is ready to film the intro, Christine and
the link set are upside down (but Ross and Miss Time
are not) due to an engineering problem, which is later
corrected by bumbling network engineer, Seth Pool.
Meanwhile,
Marc tries to ask Moose out on a date, but, due to
his French background, says the wrong thing, and,
instead, gets a piece of fruit. When Christine says
that she likes "good rock"(music), Marc
misunderstands and tries to win her over by getting
her a great big boulder. Kevin
Somers charges him $20 (later reduced to $5) for a
lesson on how to win Christine over, telling him to
show her who's boss, and to "pounce." Marc
takes that literally and practices pouncing, accidently
pouncing on Jono. Jono gives him further advice, but
when Marc loses his courage, Jono pounces on Moose
... and it turns out she wanted Jono all along!
Kevin
Somers gets a letter from the M.A.F.I.A.(Members of
the Associated Federation of Independent Artists)
union, warning him that if he doesn't pay his dues
by Thursday, he'll be "fitted with concrete shoes."
Kevin pays up, and thinks he is able to yell at Ross,
being a paid member of the union, until he finds out
that Ross is a member of a different union ... the
D.E.V.I.L. (Division of Electrical and Visual Industries
League). At the end, Ross reveals that only the parts
of the show with Kevin Somers in them can be aired,
because he is the only one who belongs to the MAFIA,
and he convinces the rest of the kids to pay up and
join the union. When they don't get paid, the kids
get invade Mr. Dime's office and threaten him until
he pays up. |
