They go to their usual restaurant, Riff's, then they start talking about the time when they went to to the Jersey shore, had a great time and the clams were the best, only they can't remember the name of the place. Jamie suggests that they should go back to the Jersey shore and find the clam place because this could be their last chance for fun, since this is the last week of summer; She will be going back to school, Paul should have new film projects, so they should do this now, while they have the time, instead of waiting for next summer like Paul says. Paul agrees and they borrow Fran's car. Jamie tries to get Fran to join them, but she declines and is acting strangely. Jamie finds out Fran has taken her old job and had it for awhile. Jamie is upset over this and feels like she stabbed her in the back. Soon Paul and Jamie find heading on out on their road trip is easier said than done. Paul's Mom calls them and she wants Paul to help move a couch and take it to Lisa's apartment. Paul finds out that Ricky Gold, Paul's old assistant, directed a big movie, that everyone says they love it. Paul is upset, since his old gofer is doing a big thing and he isn't. More problems arise. when Fran's car is being towed away, with Murray in the back seat, since it's double parked. Now Murrary is mad at Paul, when he and Jamie get the car out of impound. While getting a burger for Murrary at Riff's, to make it up for him, Paul gets locked into the car and when they finally get to the Jersey Shore, they can't find the place and they are very hungry. When they finally remember the name of the place and they get there, it's closed. Sadly, they return home, but in the end, all is not lost. Written by goleafs84 See less
