Thieves Like Us

Episode Number: 2    Season Num: 1    First Aired: Friday September 29, 2000    Prod Code: 3701001
Marcy continues to fret over Johnny's attraction to Courtney, although Courtney mostly finds him disgusting. Hunter suggests that Marcy forget about Johnny, as he was never interested in her. Rob and Hope obtain security camera footage of Hunter shoplifting at a nearby clothing store. They threaten to fire her unless she cleans up her act, and admit that Courtney was hired as her potential replacement. An outraged Hunter urges Marcy to fight for Johnny by helping her force Courtney from the show. They try to get her to screw up by making faces from off-camera during her scenes. Courtney confronts the guilt-ridden Marcy, who is thrilled to learn that Courtney already has a boyfriend back in her hometown. Marcy apologizes and offers to be her friend. Hunter invites herself along on their shopping excursion and shoves merchandise into Courtney's bag. Courtney gets busted, but Marcy takes the rap. Johnny agrees to let the homeless Dave crash in his trailer. Quentin dotes over his pet pig, Brando, which gets loose on the set.

Hunter: Marcy, this is only day one. We're gonna make her life a living hell until she buys herself a one-way ticket back to Cat Piss, Arizona. (edit)
Hunter: Okay, I'm not really in the mood for the good cop/chubby cop routine. (edit)
Hunter: Look Marcy, I'm your best friend. This may be hard for you to hear, but I have to say it. You need help. You're completely out of control. You're obsessed with this guy. Courtney is not the problem. If it wasn't her, it would be someone else. Get over it. Now for the last time, does this or does this not make my ass look fat? (edit)
Marcy: Why didn't he ask ME to squeeze his zit? Doesn't he realize how much I care about him? (edit)
Marcy: Why does have his shirt off?
Courtney: He wanted me to squeeze a zit. It was so gross! (edit)
