Mimi takes Jimmy on whirlwind rampage through the city on her request for black market chocolate, a decent meal at the tragically hip Independent Cafe (which is populated by characters from well-known independent films) and perhaps most calamitously, a stop at the Quickie Mart, where it's "Taco Tuesday." From there, the pair become unwittingly entangled in the diabolical plan a group of Montello's strippers, posing as nuns, have orchestrated to rip off their employer. On their boss's eating-obsessed girlfriend Mimi to make sure she stays away from Mexican food.
