He explains that he can date, but he can't watch dirty movies. Helen refuses to go out with him again, and then walks away. She then tells Audrey that Pastor Dan just asked her out on a date. They start talking about how weird that it is, although he can hear every word they are saying because he is right behind them.

A few seconds later, they arrive at Saint Barbara's Lutheran Church. Helen tries to convince Pastor Dan that they are Lutheran. Pastor Dan tells them, "you'll be all set I just need their transcripts and a blood test to make sure they are really Lutheran." Helen then tries to tell him that they are all hemophiliacs.
