    Not sure what comedy fan is talking about. I didn't find anything about this episode boring. With the cleaver jokes and the great use of the different conversations in different places completing each other i can honestly say i have never seen a better show. I also believe that Chlamydia is a big deal. They used it in a clever way that lead to some funny lines and situations that help move the plot along but in any other situation i fell like Chlamydia is no laughing matter.

    My take on Will charter is he is a great charter and the young actor they casted to play his is spectacular. Mark my words that young man is going places.

    I that the spirit animal stuff was charming and fun, everything I have come to expect from The O.C. other the years.

      Kirsten Cohen: [answering company phone] NewMatch?

      Julie Cooper: Hi, Kiki! Don't hang up!

      Kirsten Cohen: [firmly] You turn our business into a prostitution ring and you get hung up on. Company policy.

      [puts down the phone, Julie is dismayed, but tries again, and the phone rings]

      Kirsten Cohen: NewMatch?

      Julie Cooper: Did you at least get my cookie bouquet?

      Kirsten Cohen: [sharply] I'm allergic to chocolates.

      Julie Cooper: No, you're not.

      Kirsten Cohen: Then I'm allergic to you.

      Julie Cooper: Just tell me how long you are going to be mad at me about this.

      Kirsten Cohen: You're kidding, right?

      Julie Cooper: Kirsten, our friendship can't just end like this. There must be something I can do.

      Kirsten Cohen: [impatiently] If you'll excuse me, I have a legitimate business to run that doesn't involve hookers.
