Flushed with his first successful thwacking in a very long time Grey has decided to do what he always does, which is to overreach himself.
This is going to be too painful to watch.
Which is why I'm going to sit over here with the sidekicks.
And now, somewhere in Canada . . .

One thwacking and he thinks he's Casanova.
Give him a chance, how long has it been since he last hit on a girl?
Is not the disaster quotient of such events prohibitively high?
Yeah, but that doesn't mean Grey shouldn't at least try. He's had some luck.
With Kirsten Dunst.
Yeah.
Who you scared away.
That was never deliberate on my part.
You never exactly made it easy.
And who shoved me into a barrel to make it easy?
It was Gates' idea.
I didn't hear anyone object.
It was to save the world from an out of control regenerating Starbucks franchise that was being demolished by an equally out of control Ozzy Osbourne.
You could have just told me to hide. It's what I did in all the Spiderman movies.
I believe Grey is trying to make his move.
Oh yeah, there he is, stuttering and spluttering.
What is he trying to say?
Look's like Battlestar.
Trouble is he's getting stuck on the second syllable.
She appears to be very patient.
She's an object of nerdly desire, I think she's got some experience with short fat guys giving her frightening amounts of attention.
At least Grey's not spraying her with spit.
That mask is good for something.
You know I've seen this sort of thing before. A funny little guy tries to hit on a girl then a slightly better looking guy swoops in and manages to pick her up by being just a little more charming and a lot less obnoxious.
Yeah, I've seen that too. It's not nearly so amusing when it's only half the act.
Do you think she's amused?
I think she's being incredibly patient.
He is still struggling to say Battlestar.
And she's still smiling.
I don't think that's helping, it's just encouraging him. Sort of.
He's not stopping.
He's still not getting past Battlestar.
Shesh, Tricia Helfer. Who even knew Grey was a fan of Battlestar Galactica.
I think it has less to do with being a fan of a TV show and more to do with a hot blonde he's seen a lot of.
He doesn't know she's married?
She's married?
I think so.
Perfect.
I don't think Grey knows.
Clearly he does not know. Grey is many things however he would not knowingly attempt to chat up a married woman.
Yeah. Actually, shouldn't you have told him that earlier?
Grey didn't exactly clear this with anyone. Besides, I might be wrong, she might not be married.
Grey.
Asking out a beautiful woman.
You're right, she's married or a nun.
And he's just managed to start up on the word Galactica.
Has she done anything other than smile politely yet?
No. This may go relatively well.
Just tripped over his own tongue.
He's down.
She is speaking.
She's patting him on the head.
Wait, this is new. She's pulling out a cap.
A Battlestar Galactica cap.
She's signing it.
Okay. Guess this isn't a total loss. He's getting a souvenir.
Something else to hang in the Troutcave.
Wonderful.
There is another pat on the head.
And we're done. Well, Grey's done.
Here he comes. Remember, he knows nothing of the running commentary.
We're going to get ice cream. Oh so much ice cream.
Sure.
No problem.
Nice hat.
It's a stupid hat.
Come on, it's a Battlestar Galactica hat. It's cool.
It's a stupid hat. All I ever get is the hat.
<Intro Voice>
Flushed with confidence indeed.
And so Grey sulks off into the sunset, followed by his entourage, sure to make the same damn mistake again!
