Plot[]
All the episode's dialogue is in rhyme.
Johnny is sunbathing by the pool, when he is interrupted by Suzy. She is selling cookies for Buttercup Scouts, and asks Johnny to buy a box. Johnny tells her that he can't eat sweets due to his diet, and tells her to go away. Suzy persists, so Johnny gets changed and leaves the pool. He heads inside the house to make lunch, but Suzy keeps pestering him. She asks if Johnny would eat cookies with a fox. Johnny says he would if the "fox" was Courtney Cox, but since the Friends actress isn't there, he refuses.
Johnny goes to get the mail, and is happy that his jumbo jug of hair gel arrived. Suzy says the money could be better spent on cookies. Johnny shoves Suzy in the mailbox and runs to the subway station. He boards a train and sits next to a seemingly lovely lady, but it's just Suzy with a wig and fake legs. Johnny refuses to buy her cookies and escapes to Dr. Goose Land, an amusement park. But no matter where he hides in the park, Suzy pops up to peddle her cookies.
A log flume ride spits Johnny and Suzy out into the street. Johnny is fed up and yells at Suzy. He refuses to buy any cookies under any condition, and gives her to the count of three to leave him alone. Before he reaches three, Suzy starts crying. Johnny begs her to calm down, and offers to buy 2 boxes. Suzy immediately stops crying and after accepting his money, a literal train full of cookies pulls up next to them. Johnny is confused, and Suzy explains that the Buttercup Scouts are "passing the savings" to him, getting him one million boxes of cookies for the price of two. Suzy skips away, and Johnny is left to ponder how he is going to deal with all the cookies.
