One good thing about It's Not Easy Being Mean was the constant humor, even when Massie was worried sick about the key.

Of course Claire said "no," and Massie asked "Then why are you all covered up?" Later, when they were deciding how the key would be given to the clique, or "...you must be poor....cuz you're not making any cents."
