TV Girls Recap: You're From the Seventies, But I'm a Nineties Bitch

And then we see Marnie, at her awful waitressing job that involves old men grabbing her ass and ordering Sauvignon Blanc, wearing her "slutty Von Trapp family" uniform. And who should Marnie run into but Booth Jonathan? He asks her when the last time she had sex was and because that is such an effective line, Marnie immediately leaves work to go to his house so that she can be completely tortured by a Duncan Sheik song and videos of babies crying and maggots squirming. The combination of 90s music and images of suffering dogs really get Marnie going, so after Booth finishes making espresso and checking his email on an AOL ACCOUNT, they fuck. And Marnie laughs when it's over. And if I had any faith in Marnie as a person, I would think she was laughing at him, because he had her describe a doll's mood to him during sex, but I think Marnie is horrible and I think she liked the sex and I think she enjoyed the whole doll thing because she got to call the doll sassy even though she meant that it was she, Marnie, who was sassy. Again, Marnie is the worst.
So, now it's time for Hannah and Elijah to do all the coke and first Hannah needs to put on a horrible outfit that Elijah selects because it reminds him of a girl he knew in middle school who had fucked "her uncle and her step-dad." And since nothing prevents Hannah and Elijah from doing coke in the middle of the afternoon, or at least "no rule but human decency" which does not exist for them, they get to it. And this begins a strange coke experience that seems a little more touchy-feely, a little more MDMA-y than most coke experiences, but what do I know? I mean, they definitely talk a lot. So, that's real enough. And Hannah writes on her wall, like it's a big canvas, which is really only something that 20-somethings do when they're high. So, that was real? I guess I was disappointed in this mostly because good drug scenes, like the best coke scene ever in "Boogie Nights", just put you right there in the scene and make you want to do massive amounts of drugs yourself. Hannah and Elijah did not make me feel like doing that. At all.
And in terms of the best part of being coked up, which is the awkward, therapeutic confessions you make to your friends, Hannah really has only one, clearly supposed to be revelatory moment, when she and Elijah are dancing at Greenhouse. Hannah proclaims, "It is my greatest dream to have sex with myself, but also my biggest nightmare." Which, I guess that's supposed to be be indicative of her narcissism, but that is one of the least narcissistic things about her. That's just normal sexual curiosity. I think?
