REGIS: Shes gone. Well, in this particular scene, here he is trying to have
an intimate moment with this whirlwind, OK? "What About Joan?"
[Film clip from second episode "Sex Talk" is shown. Jake is half sitting up,
on one elbow, in bed. He has no shirt on. He is mostly covered by the
comforter, etc. over his chest, but when he moves, at times, his bare back &
/or aureoles can be briefly seen. This seems to imply that he is nude under
the covers. But we fans who attended the tapings know that he is not. He
always has boxers or sweatpants on underneath those covers.] Joan is standing
beside the bed, wearing a very reserved-looking lavender nightgown, and she
is looking down at him as she speaks]
JOAN: I want to know. Did, did the time itit was so great Was it
chemistry or was it her?
JAKE: You know, IIjust know whatever I say is gonna be the wrong answer.
