"Superb"

By VGFreak8, Oct 25, 2007 Report Abuse

Justin and his friends made up a fake "rocket club." It's their only chance to get away from everything. When Franny suggests that Raja join, things get complicated. Justin has made up a lot of lies like how the most popular guy in school was in it and that there were so many members that Raja might not be able to join and also that his guidance counselor, Mr. Matthews, is the supervisor. Claire tries out for cheerleading.

This was a good episode! It shows how lies can keep getting worse. This episode gets a 9.0 out of 10 from me.moreless

- Raja: Sir, you should know that you are not going to find any evidence of terrorism. But you are going to find some very bad things on there. And that is because I used my computer to visit naughty websites of naked women. Franny: You look at pornography? Raja: Oh yes! It is very exciting to me to see women being made to flaunt themselves. And sometimes, I imagine that it is I who am taking the pictures. That is, of course, after I've tricked them into believing that I am M Night Shyamalan. Edit
- Justin: (voiceover) Raja, meanwhile, had decided that if he actually built a model rocket, he wouldn't be lying. Salesman: Can I help you, son? Raja: Yes please. I need some flame-resistant wadding, reinforced cylinders, a really long fuse, detonation caps, and a radio-controlled timing device or simple alarm clock. Salesman: Can you, uh, wait right here? (Runs away in a panic) Raja: Certainly, sir. Edit
- Justin: (voiceover) The only real freedom I ever got was once a week at Rocket Club, which didn't even exist. You see, Craig, Dooley, and me just made it up as a cover one time 'cause we wanted to see Charlize Theron naked in the movie North Country. Dooley: Who told you there was nudity in this? Craig: Look at her, she's filthy. I mean, eventually she has to shower. Justin: (voiceover) Turns out, strip mining was not what we thought it was... Edit
