How does guy not think of his Sue Ellen...


When he's crying to his sister, the girl shows up with the QED report and says clearly, give this to Sue Ellen. Then, his sister says TO Sue Ellen, can help you SUE ELLEN and he never thinks I wonder if this is my Sue Ellen. It's not exactly a common name. He just tuns back around and continues his whining.

I've wondered about this too. But at this point, I think he only knows her as Swell.

I don't know why he would think his high school girl would be working in an office building- especially just days after watching her scrub the disgusting chili pots at WonderWeiner or whatever the hell. It's quite a leap to make.

would have been better had Sue Ellen simply gone with the more adult name of "Susan" at the office.



Botany Bay? Bought on Ebay?!! Oh NO!!!

I always thought he did wonder. When Carolyn said "Can I help you Sue Ellen?" Brian gets this confused look on his face and turns around to see this other Sue Ellen.

Also, when Carolyn tells Brian to forget about her and that he can do better than her, do you think she said that because she had figured out that it was the same Sue Ellen that he was dating ?.
