Posted: 11/23/04 at 3:59pmhow it begins? first penny and tracy walk in after school, tracy had detention. they start to watch the corny collins show. then penny leaves. as penny leaves wilbur walks in. then tracy tells wilbur shes gonna audition for the show, afer her mother says no. and then enda says to wilbur, talk to her honey, people like us are only put on tv to get laughed at.

I think it's something like:
TRACY: "But Mama, I wanna be famous!"
EDNA: "You want to be famous? Learn to get blood out of car upholstery. That's a talent you can take straight to the bank!"
I love the scene, but I don't quite get that joke. Anyone care to explain it? (Is it about how many girls lose their virginity in the back of a car?)
