At Mr. Philips' birthday party, guests fawn over his elegant companion and joke that he pursued her for years. The host proposes a party game: Mr. and Mrs. Philips must share a three-minute kiss; the crowd chants "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Mr. Philips says he can't refuse so as not to ruin the mood but insists he'll 'act a little shy' to keep balance. Mr. Schroeder pushes to sit beside his own girlfriend and watches. The suggestion is repeated and social pressure rises; the episode ends with the couple forced to decide whether to perform the three-minute kiss.
