Writer's Note:

Not a huge amount to say about this episode other than I really do hate beer. Who on earth wants to drink that stuff?! Anyway, I like that the whole scene is built around the beer that she doesn't even want to drink. It pretty much epitomizes the two different planes this couple is living in. He doesn't expect much. She expects too much. Part of the story with Hank and Beth was that he is working nights as a security guard to make some cash and she was working days, so he was always coming in when she was waking up for work. Now, you don't know any of this because all of that is actually in a scene we cut. (Yes, I cut myself, gotta be brutal when you're a producer!) But the sentiment of THIS scene-- that Beth is bummed that she's getting gypped on the American Dream at the point when she should be reaping its rewards-- I think can be felt by many in my generation right now.
