"Girlfriends" is the eighth episode of the HBO comedy series Flight of the Conchords. This episode first aired in the United States on Sunday, August 5, 2007.
Jemaine has his eye on a woman that works at the bakery. He wants Bret to go in the shop with him but Bret is reluctant because he doesn't like croissants. Eventually Jemaine convinces him to be his 'wingman'. While speaking to the woman and her colleague, Jemaine tries speaking a bit of French and they launch into a 1960s French style music video singing "Foux Du Fafa".
Later, on a double date at a nightclub, Jemaine is having trouble getting Lisa, the woman he liked at the croissant shop, interested in him. He convinces Bret to swap partners, but has no better luck with Felicia. Meanwhile Bret is uncomfortable with Lisa's aggressive advances.
At a band meeting Jemaine tells Murray about their new 'girlfriends'. At first a concerned Murray tells them that he thinks bands shouldn't have girlfriends, citing Wham! as an example of a successful band that followed that principle. But then he interrogates the guys for the juicy details. He then tells them that he has some good news. He has met A.J. Jones, supposedly the brother of Quincy Jones, who has sold him a high-end stereo system for $50.
Back at the apartment, Bret finds a message from Lisa on the answerphone. At first he is reluctant to go out with her again, but Jemaine and Eugene convince him to go. Eugene suggests that he show less skin.
Murray meets with A.J. to pick up the stereo. The very dodgy-looking A.J. is clearly no relation to Quincy Jones, but Murray is oblivious to the clues. Murray asks A.J. if he can arrange a meeting with Quincy to play him a demo of the band. After hearing the track A.J. offers to use his contacts to get some CDs made and Murray eagerly accepts the offer.
On another double date, Lisa aggressively comes onto Bret once again while Jemaine tries awkwardly to make headway with a clearly uninterested Felicia. When Bret tries to leave, Lisa goes with him and invites herself up to the apartment. Lisa demands sex, but Bret refuses. Another music video begins, and Bret sings "A Kiss Is Not A Contract".
