Warren comes back to Dennis’s apartment the next morning, where a table is prepared to mix the cocaine with Mannitol to make a higher profit. Warren is pleased with himself as he enters and admits that he slept with Jessica the night before. He also admits to spending $1,000 on the evening but says Jessica seemed skittish and even regretful the morning after. Dennis still considers it an accomplishment; at least Warren got a girl to spend time with him. Dennis starts to panic and insists that the cocaine has to be sold right away. Warren calls Stuey, who isn’t home.

Afterward, Dennis’s girlfriend calls and yells at him about breaking the sculpture, and Dennis yells back at her before hanging up. In desperation, Dennis suggests that Warren sell his toy and record collection again. Warren finally relents, unsure how else to amend the situation. Dennis manages to find someone who’s interested, and Warren is confident that the whole collection is worth about $2,500. He keeps his grandfather’s baseball cap and allows Dennis to take the rest.
