Popularity rank 1 #12. Into the sunset

December 6, 1993

NARRATOR: At the hospital, Johnny gets a bandage for his head and spills his proverbial guts to Monique.
JOHNNY: ...so that's the whole story, all I really wanted to do was ask you out...

MONIQUE: Johnny, don't you know that if you would've just asked me, I would've said yes in the first place?

JOHNNY: What a storybook romance! And all conveniently wrapped up in 24 panels!
MONIQUE: Yes, only walking off into the sunset could be more romantic...
JOHNNY: No problem! Cue sunset!

MONIQUE: Impressive.
JOHNNY: Yep, that's pretty much me, comic strip star, people jumping at my every word....

December 5, 1993

JAVON: Johnny! Are you all right? What happened?
JOHNNY: Yea, yea. I just bruised my ego a little...

JAVON: Do you need to go to the hospital or something?
JOHNNY: No, I don't think....

MONIQUE: Johnny, do you need me to go to the hospital with you?
JOHNNY: ... I could survive without going to the hospital.

Popularity rank 4 #9. Plan for Monique

December 3, 1993

JAVON: If that's how you're going to act in front of Monique, we're going to HAVE to have a plan.
JOHNNY: Yeah, I guess you're right.

JAVON: Okay! So, I have a great plan! You know how we're in the library in English next week?
JOHNNY: Yea...

JAVON: Bobby could change the computer list to get Monique working on it first, THEN I could rig the computers so it won't work right, THEN you rush in to help her, strike up a conversation and end up looking great in front of Monique.

JOHNNY: This is a full-fledged "caper" if I've ever heard one. You've been watching Scooby-Doo reruns again, haven't you?
JAVON: Well, TBS DID have a marathon last week...
