How Expected - Formal

This episode of How Expected has been filmed in front of a live studio audience.

Scene 1:
(Ext. Palisades Mall. It is Friday, RICK and MOM are talking about TARA's formal which is taking place Saturday night)
Mom - So what color is Tara's Dress?
Rick - Green.
Mom - So you got her a white corsage?
Rick - (Long Pause) F.
Mom - You didn't get her a corsage?
Rick - I don't know what happened! How the hell did I manage to do that?
Mom - I don't know
Rick - Bah, I'm retarded

Scene 2:
(Int. Rick's Car driving to his cousins Bat Mitzvah. It is Saturday morning and RICK and his MOM are lost somewhere in Jersey due to terrible directions.)
Rick - Hey look! A florist!
(Swerves across one lane into the parking lot. Reads the sign on the door)
Rick - Bah, they don't open for another half an hour
(Starts backing out of the parking lot when he sees a bouquet of flowers moving in the window)
Rick - Hey is someone in there!
(MOM jumps out of the car while it is still moving and bangs on the door. The storekeep opens up)
Mom - Hi, we have a minor emergency, my son is retarded and forgot to get a corsage for his girlfriend and he needs one for today. And it would need to be done by 12.
Storekeep - Ok.
(Back in the car)
Mom - One day we'll have to tell Tara this story.
Rick - Who are you kidding, I'm gonna tell her as soon as I get there.

Post Script: Ostrowe, who knew of the situation, left this message on Rick's phone Friday Night:
"Hey yo Copernicus, why don't you and your shirt get off the phone with 1800-FLOWERS because your never going to find a corsage, and navigate your way over to Fitzys with your feet. You are really pissing off the Captain and Moro is going to lose his shit."
