GPF Archive: Thursday, June 24, 2004 [[Justin returns to Fooker and Agent #12's hotel room]] / Justin: Maddie? I thought you should know... I wiped Sharon's memories, so she won't remember seeing us. It was hard, but necessary... / [[Agent #12 is sitting on her bed]] / Justin: MI6 gave us a tip that The German may be hitting the Chunnel. If we hurry, we might be able to head him off... / Justin: Um... I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't -- / Agent #12: You're not fooling me... Justin, isn't it? Jason's brother... / Justin: Er... how... could you tell? / Agent #12: There's just some things a woman knows...
GPF Archive: Friday, June 25, 2004 [[Justin and Agent #12 are in their hotel room]] / Agent #12: So... did you wipe their memories...? / Justin: No. He's my brother, and I just reconnected with him. I refuse to erase that. / [[Justin places the memory wiper on the bed, beside Agent #12]] / Justin: But they're staying next door. They're not leaving until tomorrow. You can easily go in and administer it yourself. I won't stop you. It's your duty... / [[Agent #12 picks up the memory wiper and looks at it]] / [[Agent #12 puts the memory wiper down and cries]] / Justin: You won't either. Why? / Agent #12: You have your reasons. I have mine.
GPF Archive: Saturday, June 26, 2004 [[Ki leans back on her chair to talk to Sharon.]] / Ki: So, Sharon, how was your trip to Paris? / Ki: Sharon? / [[Ki gives chase.]] / Nick: Did you see Sharon? / Ki: She walked past, but didn't say anything. / Nick: How odd. / [[Everyone follows.]] / Dexter: Where's everyone going? / Fred: I thought I saw Sharon go into the kitchen... / Dwayne: Did I see someone with her? / [[In another room...]] / Sharon: Let the gasps and shouts begin in five, four, three... / {{Fooker is back, YAY.}}
GPF Archive: Sunday, June 27, 2004 {{Beginning of parody of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". Note: every panel has the word "Bravado" in the lower-right corner.}} / [[A white van approaches on the road.]] / Dwayne: Okay, gang. We've got a very special assignment today... / [[Inside the van is Dwayne (driving), Ki, Nick, Fooker, and Dexter. To the left is a head shot of Michell.]] / Dwayne: Mitchell is an old family friend who just got back from spending twenty years studying parasitic worms in the rainforests of Cambodia. / Caption: Guy who really likes worms. / Dwayne: He now must give a web-based lecture on the topic. Considering his last computer was a TRS-80 model III, he's pretty far behind the times. / Fooker: Ooh. Classic amber on black. Sweet. / Dwayne: We have five hours to turn this pre-net throwback into a web-savvy proto-geek. / Dexter: This one's tough, Dwayne. Can we pull it off? / [[Outside, the van continues on its way.]] / Dwayne: Yes, it's definitely a challenge, but anything should be possible for the "Foo Five!" / [[Show Title]] / Geek Eye for the Luddite Guy
GPF Archive: Monday, June 28, 2004 [[Dwayne enters Mitchell's apartment]] / Dwayne: Hey, Mitchell! It's Dwayne! My crew is going to help make over your office in true geek chic! / [[Picture of Dwayne over his name with the words "office design" superimposed]] / [[Dwayne and Mitchell go to Mitchell's desk]] / Mitchell: B-but I don't need -- / Dwayne: This office is a disaster! We'll need all new furniture and storage units. / Dwayne: We'll start by organizing your papers, then sorting the paper clips by size, color, and material. Ooh! You still use liquid paper?
 
GPF Archive: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 [[Fooker looks at Mitchell's computer]] / Fooker: Mitch... / Mitchell: It's Mitchell. / Fooker: Mitch, we gotta ditch this old clunker and get you a screamin' new machine. / [[Picture of Fooker with the text "hardware guru" superimposed]] / [[Nick and Ki find Mitchell's floppies]] / Ki: Oh my gosh! Fooker, look at all these old 5.25" floppies! / Nick: Why, there's almost enough to fill a single CD-R! / [[Fooker throws Mitchell's computer out the window]] / Fooker: Then a DVD burner is first on the list. But first it's out with the old... / Mitchell: I paid $1200 for that in 1981!
GPF Archive: Wednesday, June 30, 2004 [[Mitchell looks out his window as Nick walks up to him]] / Nick: Now that Fooker's cleared out the old desktop, let's update your arsenal of portable gadgets. / [[Picture of Nick with the words "personal electronics" superimposed]] / [[Nick pulls out an iPod and a USB key]] / Nick: This flash thumbdrive will be handy for transporting data to and from work. And this iPod can double as storage when you aren't listening to your MP3 collection. / Mitchell: MP-what? / [[Nick picks up Mitchell's datebook and ancient cell phone]] / Nick: This datebook is far to cumbersome. We'll substitute this PDA. And what's this? / Mitchell: My cell phone... / Nick: Yeowza!
GPF Archive: Thursday, July 1, 2004 [[Ki grabs Mitchell by the arm]] / Ki: While the boys trash and recycle your hardware, let's upgrade your software. That is, your wardrobe. / [[Picture of Ki with the words "geek fashion" superimposed]] / [[Ki takes a close look at Mitchell]] / [[Ki walks away]] / Ki: On second thought, you've already got that covered...
GPF Archive: Friday, July 2, 2004 [[Dexter walks up to Mitchell]] / Dexter: No time to rest now, pal! You've got 20 years of geekdom to digest, and I've only got a couple hours to cram it all down your throat! / [[Picture of Dexter with the words "geek culture" superimposed]] / [[Dexter pulls out some DVDs]] / Dexter: Let's see. You've missed four Star Trek series, two Star Wars films (not counting special editions), Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future... good thing I brought the DVDs. / Mitchell: DVDs? / Dexter: Of course, we can't let you skimp on the 'net. Usenet's mostly flame wars, and half the web is porn, but the good thing is you don't have any spam yet... / Mitchell: I'm not hungry...
GPF Archive: Saturday, July 3, 2004 [[Mitchell approaches the GPF geeks]] / Mitchell: That's it! I don't know who you people are, but get out of my apartment! / [[Mitchell chases them out of his apartment]] / Mitchell: Get out! Get out! Get out! / [[Mitchell closes the door]] / <> / [[Dwayne looks at a piece of paper and Nick looks at the door]] / Nick: Hey, this name plate says Mitchell Jones. / Dwayne: We wanted Mitchell Smith. Oh, this is 123 Westbrook Drive, not Street. / Dexter: Stupid Mapquest.
 
GPF Archive: Sunday, July 4, 2004 [[Sharon is clothes shopping]] / Sharon: (Thinking) You know... It's so wonderful having Fooker back. It feels like life is finally returning to normal... / [[To Sharon's surprise, the article of clothing she just picked up is also being held by none other than Trish]] / Sharon: (Thinking) You know, I should have learned my lesson with Ki's party plans and Nick and that trip to Paris... / Trish: S-Sorry... / Sharon: Oh, um, hi, Trish. We haven't seen you around much lately... / Trish: Sharon, isn't it? Sorry, I've been busy with work. / Trish: I... don't get out much, not knowing many people in this town. So I either pour myself into my work, or go home and sit all alone... / Sharon: (Thinking) Oh, man... This is so awkward. I hate being in these situations. I feel sorry for her, but if I do what I'm thinking of, the rest of the gang will kill me... / Sharon: Um, my friend are throwing a welcome home party for my boyfriend. Would... you like to come? / Trish: Really? I'd love to! / Sharon and Trish: (Both thinking, but for different reasons) Sucker...
GPF Archive: Monday, July 5, 2004 [[Nicole, Persephone, Nick and Ki are in the kitchen]] / Nick: Is everything almost ready? / Nicole: Just a few things left to cook and we're done! / [[Dwayne answers the door to let in Fooker and Sharon]] / Dwayne: And here's the man himself! Come on in, Fooker! Welcome home! / Fooker: Sheesh, guys. I told you all not to do this... / Dwayne: Nonsense! We missed you, and we wanted to celebrate your return. / Sharon: Here's the dip, the salad's in the car, and, um, I invited Trish. / [[Sharon runs off]] / <>
GPF Archive: Tuesday, July 6, 2004 Ki: What's going on? / Dexter: Did she just say...? / Nick: Sharon... invited... Trish... / Fooker: Who's Trish? / Dwayne: You don't mean THE Trish, do you? / Sharon: One and the same. I didn't have a choice! She was so pitiful... she wore down my defenses. / Ki: Sharon, you DIDN'T?! / Fooker (angry looking): But WHO is this Trish? / Ki: Tell the molds to hide. She doesn't know. / Nick: Cover the MUTEX. She shouldn't see that. / Dexter: I'll hide all the sharp implements. / Fooker (Angry): Will someone PLEASE tell me who the heck this Trish person is? / Trish (In the open door next to Fooker, looking nervous): Hi! I brought some mixed nuts, since they're just like me... heh...
GPF Archive: Wednesday, July 7, 2004 [[Trish looks sheepishly at the others, who stare blankly back at her]] / Trish: Heh... / Trish: Look, I'm... I'm sorry. I'm making everyone feel awkward. That wasn't my intention. Thank you for inviting me, Sharon, but I shouldn't have come... / Nick: Trish, we're the ones who should be sorry. We all agreed to be friendly with you and help you fit in around here. So come in and I'll introduce you to those you don't already know. / Fooker: Something tells me I've got a lot of catching up to do... / Ki: We'll tutor you along the way.
GPF Archive: Thursday, July 8, 2004 Nick: Trish, this is our friend Jason, but everyone calls him Fooker. Fooker, this is Trish. She's... um... new in town. / Fooker: Howdy. / Trish: So your Sharon's boyfriend? The one this party's for? I'm sorry, but I didn't know if I should have gotten you a present. / Fooker: Nah, being home is enough for me. / [[Nick leaves.]] / Trish: So you do a lot of traveling? / Fooker: I used to. But I'm settling back down. I missed my pals too much to stay away. / Trish: You look vaguely familiar somehow. Did I see you on the news a while back? / Fooker: Er, no. And you didn't see me on a post office wanted poster either...
 
GPF Archive: Friday, July 9, 2004 Trish: I'm sure Nick and Ki will fill you in on our little escapades later. Hopefully, I've made a better first impression on you than I did with everyone else. Ha ha! / Trish: You know, I actually knew a Barker once, back when I lived in Seattle. He wasn't a relative of yours...? / Fooker: Doubt it. Don't know of any family out there. / Trish: Oh well. Better get these on the table and see if there's anything I can help out with. Hope we can talk more later! / Sharon: Forming your guess about our Trish horror stories yet? / Fooker: No... but I AM noticing that neither I nor Nick mentioned my last name...
GPF Archive: Saturday, July 10, 2004 Ki: So what do we want to do after we eat? Play some games? Watch some movies? / Fooker: Movies? Gosh, I don't know what all I've missed. / [[Ki is browsing through Nick's DVD collection.]] / Ki: Well, it's almost been two years, three if you count... um, before you went abroad. Let's look at Nick's DVDs and see what you've missed... / [[Ki is holding up a DVD case in each hand.]] / Ki: There's the last two "Matrix" movies, "X-Men 2," the first "Spider-Man," probably "Star Wars: Episode II," the entire "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, although the special extended version of "Return of the King" isn't out yet... / Sharon (concerned): Fooker, are you okay? You look like you're going to be sick... / [[Sharon reaches towards Fooker to comfort him.]] / Fooker: I feel like my geek credentials have been revoked...
GPF Archive: Sunday, July 11, 2004 Trish: Excuse me, but is this the bathroom? / Dwayne: Truth be told, I'm not sure. This is my first time to Nick's apartment. / [[Trish walks into Nick's laboratory]] / Trish: I guess it won't hurt to-- Oh my! Look at all this incredible stuff! / Sharon: Did I just hear Trish say something? / Dexter: I think she just accidentally stumbled into Nick's--- / <> / Dexter: --lab. / Nick: [[startled]] Trish! There's nothing interesting to see in there! / Trish: Are you kidding? These are amazing! Are you an inventor, Nick? / Nick: Um... Sort of... / Trish: I'm fascinated by science! Especially mad science! Get it? Mad? Like me? Heh heh...
GPF Archive: Monday, July 12, 2004 Trish: I always wanted to be an inventor, but never had the skill to carry it out. Is this a sub-harmonic alpha wave inducer? / Nick: Er, yeah. / Trish: I knew you were intelligent and creative, but I didn't know you expressed it this way. Ooh! A parabolic neutrino plasma amplifier! / Nick: Um, sure. / Trish: This hypersonic theta particle accelerator is awesome! Someday you'll have to share your notes with me so I can bask fully in your genius! / Dexter: So does the hyperwhatsit kaddodlebopper really do what she thinks it does? / Nick: Beats me. I still haven't figured out what half this stuff does.
GPF Archive: Tuesday, July 13, 2004 Trish: Is there anything I can do to help? / Nicole: Not really, unless you want to try and help Ki. / [[A rapidly deflating cake dissolves in front of Ki as she scowls]] / Ki: Me and cakes do not mix... / Trish: Can I help? I grew up in a bakery that my parents owned. / Ki: No, thank you, Trish. I can just-- / Trish: But, Ki, please listen... / Trish: I want to help. I... feel I owe it to you. I want to make it up to you, for all the trouble I've caused.
 
GPF Archive: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 Trish: I've been so strange to you and Nick. I know. And while I've explained why I acted so oddly, I feel I owe you more, to make it up to you somehow. / Trish: I like you and your friends, and even with all that's happened, you've still been the nicest of anyone I've met in this town, and I want to repay that. / Trish: I want to be your friend, Ki, and I'll do anything I can to prove it. So if you'll let me whip up some more cake batter, we can decorate it together! / Ki: I want to dislike her... I really do... / Nicole: I wonder if she's free to baby-sit Sydney next Friday...
GPF Archive: Thursday, July 15, 2004 Persephone: Oh, Nick! Can we finally see Fooker now? We've been dying to see him again! / Nick: Not while Trish is here, Pers, for your safety. / Fred: So I take it this Trish chick is the newest auxiliary member of your motley crew? / Nick: Not quite. And I'm not sure I really trust her yet. / Fred: You? Not trust someone? Since when? / Nick: At least we're seeing the better of her personalities tonight. / Fred: Wait... Is she the "schizophrenic?" You do know that and dissociative identity disorder aren't the same thing, right? / Nick: Not everyone is a walking medical dictionary... / Fred: Hey, you've got that wireless PDA. You know how to Google...
GPF Archive: Friday, July 16, 2004 Trish: I always wanted to be an inventor, but never had the skill to carry it out. Is this a sub-harmonic alpha wave inducer? / Nick: Er, yeah. / Trish: I knew you were intelligent and creative, but I didn't know you expressed it this way. Ooh! A parabolic neutrino plasma amplifier! / Nick: Um, sure. / Trish: This hypersonic theta particle accelerator is awesome! Someday you'll have to share your notes with me so I can bask fully in your genius! / Dexter: So does the hyperwhatsit kaddodlebopper really do what she thinks it does? / Nick: Beats me. I still haven't figured out what half this stuff does.
GPF Archive: Saturday, July 17, 2004 Fooker: I haven't had the chance to say it yet, Ki, but I dig the return of the long do. / Ki: Thanks, Fooker. / Fooker: In fact, in the few days I've been back, I've noticed your entire look has changed. / Ki: No, it hasn't. What are you getting at? / Fooker: You used to be all about comfort, with the sweatpants and sandals. But you've gradually gotten a sexier look. Actually, it started a lot earlier. But when? Oh, I remember... / Fooker: It started when you secretly wanted to bag Nick, and it's progressed to the "when's he finally gonna do me?" stage. / Ki: The stupid comments I didn't miss, but you obviously missed the beatings....
GPF Archive: Sunday, July 18, 2004 Fooker thinking: I think I'll hide--er, wander over here until Ki blows off some steam. Last thing I want is a confrontation... / Dexter: I've got a bone or three to pick with you, Fooker... / Fooker thinking: Nuts. / Dexter: I know all about your secret agent stuff. Your memory wipe wore off, so there's no point in denying it. / Fooker: Well, Trish doesn't know, so keep your voice down. / Dexter: Now, I can understand wiping my memory to protect your cover and national security, although I'm a bit hurt that you did it to me and none of your other friends... / Dexter: But the atrocity you pulled is inexcusable! You violated my mind for your own selfish motives! / Fooker: Um, what are you talking about? / Dexter: YOU DELETED MY MEMORIES OF SHARON AND PROGRAMMED ME TO LOVE MEGAN MORRONE! / Fooker: Oh, that.
 
GPF Archive: Monday, July 19, 2004 Dexter: You wiped all my memories of Sharon from my head to keep me from hitting on her, and implanted that infatuation with Megan Morrone to keep me away! / Fooker: Okay, okay! / Fooker: Dex, buddy, pal... I'm sorry I toyed with your noggin. Part of it was official, but I'll admit the Sharon part was selfish and unfair. I was jealous that you could stay here with her and I couldn't. / Fooker: But let me try to put it another way: Do you really believe that if I hadn't wiped your memories that Sharon would have run back into your arms? / Dexter: Well... No... / Fooker: Then see? I not only did it for myself, but to protect you from embarrassing and humiliating rejection! / Dexter: Somehow, the logic of that argument escapes me....
GPF Archive: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 Dexter: I've forgiven you, Fooker, but only because Sharon and I discussed this a long time ago. / Fooker: Thanks... I think. / Dexter: Right now, I'm more concerned about my job. Now that you're back, I'll bet Dwayne will want to hire you again. / Fooker: Why does that bother you? / Dexter: What if he can't afford to hire another person? I'm the most recent hire, so I'll be on the street! / Dwayne: Um, Dex, you're right that I can't afford another employee... / Dwayne: Which is why I won't be hiring Fooker back. / Dexter and Fooker: Say what?
GPF Archive: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 Dexter: You won't be hiring Fooker back? / Dwayne: Not right away, at least. In a few months, maybe. / Dwayne: We don't have the budget to support another employee yet, although I'm looking into expanding our projects, which would warrant hiring a few more people. / Dwayne: Besides, if Fooker were to replace anyone, it would have to be Sharon, since she's sys admin. And I don't think any of us would want to see that. / Fooker: Definitely not. / Dexter: Yes! Job security! / Fooker: Can you curb your enthusiasm until they brace the support beams in this building?
GPF Archive: Thursday, July 22, 2004 Dwayne: I'm sorry, Fooker. I want to hire you back full time. I really do. / Fooker: No sweat, big D. I understand. / Dwayne: I meant what I said about expanding. If the deals Trent and I are working on come through, we'll be able to double our staff. And we'll need at least two sys admins. I can bring you back as the senior admin. / Dwayne: Until then, I have a friend across town who heads the I/T department for a local telecom firm. He's looking for a sys admin, and I told him about you as soon as we found out you were back. / Dwayne: I'll set up an interview, but with the glowing reference I've given, it'll only be a formality. / Fooker: A telecom, huh? Never tried my hand at phone phreaking...
GPF Archive: Friday, July 23, 2004 Fooker: Thanks for the party, guys. It's great to be back / Nick: It's great to have you back, Fooker / Trish: Thank you again for letting me stay, even if I wasn't expected. I had a great time, and you made me feel so welcome. / Ki: You're welcome, Trish / [[Trish hugging Nick and Ki]] / Trish: Thank you. / Ki: Maybe we'll run into you sometime soon. / Trish: Count on it.
