"You mean, drive me and Elmira around in the van?"
"Yeah."
"OK," says Merv.
You hang around Merv's apartment watching old Webster episodes for a few hours while Merv gets ready for his date.
He takes a shower, shaves, showers again, and then applies about fifteen different lotions to his body. He dresses up in black spandex pants, a white t-shirt, and a black blazer. Then he spends nearly an hour on his hair.
Finally Merv is ready to go.
The two of you drive into Boston, then across the river to the Howard Johnson's in Cambridge where Elmira is staying.
"OK," says Merv. "I'm gonna go score. You hang here. We may go to dinner if things don't work out right away."
Merv enters the
hotel and is in there for five hours.
Go
in after him.
