I know it’s not exactly in most people’s top tens, but
it’s just so good. The humour and all the exchanges are spot-on funny, it’s
well written, and I kind of love the cameo of the information window guy from
“Feud for Thought.” Because that’s totally him. “YEEEES, may I help
you?” XD
But I love this episode most because it’s about two of
my favourite characters and it demonstrates so brilliantly the friendship
between them.
They’re completely different, of course, and have
opposing views on just about everything. And the episode shows you that in
literally every exchange. Yet despite all this, they actually do care about
each other. Eugene left his bus to help Bernard when he saw he was in trouble
(although it didn’t help much). And then Bernard came back for him. He came
back to make sure he was okay, and he offered to let him ride with him, and
Eugene never would’ve known except for the policeman. Bernard just doesn’t want
to admit that he kind of likes this kid. Eugene, however, has no such problems.
Eugene: I
will heartily confess that I did learn something.
Bernard:
Oh, you did, huh. Like what?
Eugene: That sometimes, you don’t know who your
friends are, until you need them.
Bernard:
Yeah? Well… don’t let it get around.
Ahh, these two. Their friendship is one of the best
parts of the show to me. And it’s what puts “First-Hand Experience” in my top
ten.
