Also, because I can, I'm going to point out the continued genius of Wilhelmina Slater with this little exchange with her assistant:
Willy: ''Brilliant move getting a Vermont cell phone.''
Marc: ''But you told me to.''
Willy: ''Like I said, brilliant.''
And now to the best sound bites of the night. It was a sharply written episode (kudos to writer Brian Tanen!), so there are lots:
• Justin, admiring his ensemble before the school dance: ''It's an homage to Grease. Danny Zuko meets couture. If I'm going to this tacky thing, I'll at least make a splash.''
• Justin, commenting on the decorations at the school dance: ''Yeah, it's still the gym. It's like putting lipstick on a pig.''
• Gio, taunting Betty about their kiss while at the school dance: ''You Frenched me, Suarez. You Frenched me good.''
• Fashion TV reporter Suzuki St. Pierre, about Willy's baby: ''Wilhelmina: A mother again? She's certainly been called one.''
• Willy, after her grand return to Mode: ''Now that was fun. Am I smiling? I can't tell.''
• Marc, kissing Willy's ass: ''You are a horror movie I wish would never end.''
• Marc, after finding out that Amanda is starring in a reality show with her dad, Gene Simmons: ''Mandy! You're going to be a reality TV star. It's what every pretty girl with no specific talent dreams of!''
• Amanda, after Marc expresses interest in being on her reality show: ''Okay, there's no other way to tell you this. You know how in real life you're always so jumpy and bopping your head and moving around? [She pants like a dog.] Well, that makes you blurry. And on TV, people can actually see your face. You're cute, but not TV cute.''
• Marc, commenting on the photo of Betty kissing Gio: ''She does realize that's the sandwich guy and not an actual sandwich, right?''
• Amanda, trying to be a Hollywood insider on the set of her reality show: ''Crafty is for talent only. That's short for ''craft services,'' which is long for ''food.'' I'm sorry, it's industry lingo.''
• Marc, poking fun at Amanda's insistence that she's a celebrity: ''Well if it isn't Miss Fancy Pants Celebrity, back amongst the Muggles. Hey, if you're really such a celebrity, then where's your posse? Where's your hybrid? Where's your inappropriately named baby?''
• Marc, talking about Henry (before pulling out the cell-phone photo he actually did take): ''One time, I saw him changing his shirt in the bathroom, and I wasn't staring and I definitely did not take a picture, but for a nerd accountant, he has body karate.''
Sorry for the long-winded post, TV Watchers, but now it's your turn: Which favorite sound bite did I miss? Would you watch Amanda's reality TV show with Gene Simmons if it were real? Are you missing Henry or — shudder — Charlie yet? And what are your thoughts about seeing La Lohan and Naomi Campbell in next week's season finale?
