Alex, who hails from the Chicago area, wants everyone to know that Chicago is "no freakin' hick town." Will, who comes from Springfield, wants to add that Springfield is the capital of Illinois, and is therefore an important center of commerce and politics. We do not go cow tipping on weekends.

...hero!

Although there is obvious tension between August and Delia and obvious lust between Chad and Jean, everything is subtle. And for the most part, everyone gets along quite nicely...so nicely, in fact, that the audience is in danger of falling asleep...
