An Oyster Stew - Page Two
A trip to the jewelry store leaves Zack depressed as he had no idea that pearl earrings were so expensive. Dejectedly Zack walks through Angel Grove park. Dang, what am I going to do? A man sitting on a picnic table calls out to Zack - psst, young man over here. Zack reluctantly walks over. Can I help you, sir? The man replies, no, but I think I can help you with your dilemma. I happen to have a pair of pearl earrings I'm sure you can afford. The man opened his overcoat and the inside was lined with various pieces of jewelry as the man picked out the pearls. Zack is impressed. Those are beautiful. Uh, they're not stolen, are they? The man laughs. No, no. Far from it. In fact, these used to belong to my dearly departed wife, Edna. When I gave these to her she fell in love with me. I always thought of them as a love charm. Zack gets excited. I could really use a love charm. Zack pulls out some money. Uh, will this do? The man replies perfectly, as he takes the money and gives Zack the pearl earrings. Zack thanks him. He can't wait to show them to his friends. This is awesome. Thanks again! Zack leaves the park and does not see the man turn back into a Putty.
The following day Zack and Angela go on their double date with Tommy and Kimberly. They arrive at the French restaurant. Zack lets Angela and Kimberly walk ahead of them as they make their way to the table. The teens pick up their menus and note that it is all in French. Zack reassures them. Don't worry. I got it covered. Zack calls for their waiter. Garcon! The waiter walks over. Oui, Monsieur. We are ready to order? Zack replies oui. He suggests to his friends that he take the liberty of ordering for all of them. Zack tries to impress Angela by ordering in French.
Meanwhile, Billy, Jason, and Trini are walking through the Angel Grove park. Trini wonders how Zack's date is going. Jason is the first to spot the Putties heading their way. The three teens battle and defeat the Putties.
