* ImaginaryFriend: The first thing Gene does when he realizes he's home alone and can't call his parents is to pretend to be getting a call from some guy named Ken, using a pair of salad tongs as an earpiece. Eventually the fantasy gets too real when "Ken" decides to hang up, leaving Gene alone with his thoughts.
