One Thing I really liked from "Mel's Recession"... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

...the continuinity! When Flo was trying to smooze Mel, she reminded him about their little tryst at the football game from a few episodes back. I really liked that.

That was good. I really like it when the writers keep track of past episodes and don't just "forget" situations ever existed. Gives the characters more depth and is more realistic.

Gotta agree with you there Brian. I love that as well. I hate when things like that are forgotten. It made for a good scene as well. It would have been stupid for Flo to tell Mel that she has worked for him for 8 years and NOT mention that tryst they had. A desperate person would say something like that to keep their job.

Also, I loved how Alice told Flo how she was trying to get Mel drunk to see how beautiful she was in order to keep the job.

Basically saying, you need to get him drunk to see you as beautiful because if he isn't drunk, than you aren't beautiful in his eyes. Can anyone tell me exactly the phrase that was said...it had me

LOL-
Irene, it went like this:

ALICE: Pretty sneaky, Flo. Gettin' Mel drunk so he'll think you're ATTRACTIVE.

FLO: (Mad as hell) Well WHAT were YOU doing in there, trying to steal his secret recipe for GREASE?

Thank you sweetie!

God, when she said that line I was laughing so hard. I had forgotten abt that line and when Alice said it, it was like hearing it for the first time. Man, seeing Alice again and hearing these funny ass lines makes for great television.
