Loretta sadly dreams of upward mobility and joining the pony set while strolling along some ubiquitous Long Island strip mall; a compelling indictment of the American Dream. If you think about it, Loretta and her manic shopping tendencies can be seen as her desperate attempts at conspicuous consumption. Her husband may be broke and she may be drowning in debt, but she hopes to project an image of wealth through her lavish spending. I can only imagine the heartbreaking dose of reality she'll receive when Leroy tells her that he doesn't even have a spare quarter for the ride. It's a push. Official Count:
Leroy - 67
Loretta - 83
Push - 75
Loretta - 83
Push - 75
