Oh, if you're taking it somewhere else, that's more difficult. Frank's a pretty strange puppy. It's hard for me to imagine him taking anything that has to do with sex calmly.

Frank's a pretty strange puppy. It's hard for me to imagine him taking anything that has to do with sex calmly.
I think the calm is an exterior based on wanting to win the bet-- partly because of the money, but more to do with beating the Insufferable Hawkeye for once. I've edited the last line, you might want to take another look.
Yes, much better, though maybe getting and putting the earplugs in could be quite ostentatious? and maybe they don't really go in?

It's a thought. I shall think about it.
An extra line on the end, something like: "If they didn’t quite fit, nobody needed to know. Frank certainly wasn’t going to tell them."
?
I think they're pretty universal, just little things in the ears that you squish to fit. Maybe palming them, with some rationalization that he wasn't going to let THEM know he was listening, but that he had to have all the details to make a full report, after he won the bet?
Well, the little earplugs (sonics) don't block out sound completely; they're designed to muffle the higher registers and cut the db levels down . So the plugs would really have been more symbolic than anything else; he'd still hear them.
"If he didn't put them in his ears, there was no reason for anyone to know that. And besides, facts made for a full report. Listening wasn't wrong, or dirty. It was his duty."
Now, that definitely sounds like Frank.
