"Good Time Girls"

Greg Antonacci returns as Hector, here unable to take a hint when the girls repeatedly reject him.  As revenge, he writes their names and number on the restroom wall of a pool hall.  This leads to them being attacked by two leering accountants.  Yet, they are unable to be honest with Hector and end up telling him that they don't want to lose him as a friend by going out with him.

The best part of this episode is of course when Laverne and Shirley dress in drag, in what turns out to be Lenny and Squiggy's clothes, to take their phone number off the wall.  I like the guys' guesses on who these two strangely familiar fellas are, and then Squiggy reacting as if he's been caught exposed by having women in a men's room.  Note that Lucille honks offscreen and we learn, one, she's divorced, and two, she's still planning to take Carmine to Europe.

Fred Willard this time plays the Man in Bathroom, with a fake mustache.  Bruce Kimmel, who's Scott, would have two later roles.  Stephen Nathan, who would write three later episodes, appears onscreen as Kevin.  Laura Levine would write one other episode.
