So anyway, fast forward to now.

Greg's quit his job at the U .S. Attorney's Office, and he's gone on a

self -discovery, which I suppose I'm partly responsible for, though this

just be him rebelling against his mother.

Kitty. Good for you.

So, this is not working, and surprise, surprise, won't take any money from his

parents. Things are a little tight, financially speaking.

Are we by any chance closing in on why you've come to an employment agency?

The thing is, I have a job. I teach yoga four times a week, and I trade dogs.

Whenever. You know, dog.

In the interest of moving this along, let's say I do.

But I need another job.

The eagle has landed.

But I don't want my husband to know about it because he shouldn't feel

about taking some time off. I mean, he certainly didn't make me feel guilty

I went to Stonehenge for the eclipse course. I didn't really have a choice

because my mom put me on the refreshments committee.

Abby. Right.

Anyway, here's my resume.

Blackjack dealer?

Mm -hmm.

NASCAR pit crew?

Well, I gave Richard Petty a jump start on the I -80. One thing led to another.

Mermaid? Not a real one.

At one of those places in Florida. But not Topla. Anyway.

Here's my situation.

I'm free from, like, 11 till about 2 .30, and I'd really like to work with

Is that all?

Why don't you have them throw in lunch?

That'd be perfect!

There you go, Red. Bon appetit.

I was thinking I'd take a walk in the park, you know, really experience the

park. Uh -huh, good.

I mean, for years I've been running through that park the same way I've been

running through life.

Oh, well, that sounds like a wonderful day.

Hey, where are you off to in such a hurry? Nowhere special.

Ah, been there.

You know what the best part about slowing down your life is?

What?

You finally get a sense of the rhythm of...

Life?

No.

Nature? No.

The natural world. I hate nature.

I guess you did. I'm sorry. Anyway, I'm finally feeling...

Too tired for heaven.

What are you doing, Manana, with sheetrock and a hammer?

Wouldn't you rather it be a surprise?

Are you going to tell me what's going on?

Greg, I took on a couple extra jobs to help make ends meet.

Thank you, but we can manage without your having to work four jobs. Five,

if I can fit in the chimney.

No, we will cut back, we'll simplify, you know, like the way you lived before

you met me.

We don't need fancy restaurants or cable TV or dry cleaning, fluff and fold. I

love fluff and fold, Greg. It's folded and still fluffy. It's a miracle.

But it's a needless expense.

How can you put a price on a miracle?

We can do our own laundry. I use a coupon.

And we don't have to eat out so much. We can make dinner at home. It doesn't

even have to be their coupon. They honor anyone's coupon.

This will be good.

Bradley Bay.

No, I meant at home.

Lentils and rice, mostly.

Uh -huh.

You know, I was thinking, Dom, I haven't been very supportive of Gregory and his

decision to quit his job and find himself.

Oh, well, you're his mother. I don't think he was expecting support.

Merlot.

Actually, I would like to do something to help Gregory on his little journey.

Don't be a stranger.

Dama, you are just so wrong.

I would never be able to give up, oh, vacation, the opera.

Oh, the opera. Greg used to take me to the opera. I dig the opera.

What's not to dig?

Um, in any event, I would like to give you this.

No, joggy, that's a lot of money.

I'm sure it must seem that way to you.

Well, I really appreciate this, Kitty, but we really don't want to take any

money from you guys.

Greg, mostly.

Well, then we won't tell Gregory.

Really tempting, but no thank.

Oh, come on, Dharma.

Now, if I were to come to you for a favor, you'd help me out, wouldn't you?

course. Well, think of this as me repaying you that favor.

But I haven't done you a favor yet.

Well, does it matter who goes first?

Idiot. All right.

Well, I tried. I tried as hard as I could.

What more can I do?

Try again.

Here.

Make sure no one sees you leave.

Oh, I've missed you.

Is it alright if we just hold each other?

What would you say to Chinese food?

Enjoy the ride.

I love your suit, Kitty. Oh, thank you.

Speaking of thank you, did I thank you for the money that you lent me that's

gone now?

All gone?

Mm -hmm.

One week? Uh -huh. I'm impressed.

Yeah, there's just a few unexpected expenses, like out of the blue, we

new washing machine.

How tiresome. Well, I mean, those warranties just don't cover the things

really happen to people.

I was wondering if you could see your way clear to... Yes?

Maybe I'll... You need some more money?

Well, I don't really need... Yes!

Not a problem. Thanks. And if you give part of it to me in cash, I'll spring

lunch. I'll handle lunch.

Oh, before I forget, an old friend of Edward's is moving his corporate

headquarters to San Francisco, and there's going to be a little reception.

It's going to be terribly dull, but it would be wonderful if you and Gregory

would join us.

Well, I can't really speak for Greg, but... Oh.

But what the heck is he doing these days? We'll be there.

London.

One other thing.

These corporate types are just not quite as with it as Edward and

I. Uh -huh.

So, I was wondering if you could perhaps get Gregory to clean up a bit.

Maybe shade.

Really? Don't you think that beard's so cute on him?

I'll see what I can do.

Who had the devil's food? That would be me.

Then this must be for you.

You're tickling me.

I thought you liked it. No, I do. I love it. I just don't like it touching me.

You want me to shave it off?

Oh, well, if you want to, but don't do it on my account. But you said you

like it.

No, I love it. It just turns me off a little.

All of a sudden it's wrong to do a favor for your mother?

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

Darling, you look different.

Have you lost weight?

I shaved my beard, Mother. No, that's not it.

Well, you look wonderful. But I do miss the beard. It was so cute.

Thank you.

Dharma didn't like it. It tickled.

Really?

Oh, look.

There's Lionel Wallace.

He's the big kahuna.

Oh, I knew him when he was just a guy with a couple of million dollars and an

idea.

Let me introduce you to him, darling.

Lionel.

Lionel, this is my son, Gregory, his wife, Dharma. Great party. So, Gregory,

your mother tells me that you quit the U .S. Attorney's Office to do a little

soul -searching.

Well, um, yes, I suppose so.

Well, you ought to know she's very proud of you.

My mother?

Greg's mother?

Greg, your mother can be very supportive.

Oh, this is embarrassing.

Why don't we go and freshen up? See that? I didn't even know I had to go.

So, Greg, I really admire a man like you that can think outside the box.

Oh, you should have seen him last week. He looked like he was living outside in

a box.

You shaved your beard.

I thought we were going to freshen up. We are.

Could you freshen this up?

It's good to meet a man who knows how to stop and smell the roses.

You know, I just did that.

They were nice.

Not great, but nice.

That's the kind of thinking we need around here.

When was the last time you smelled a rose?

What is that thing you always say about the universe telling you what to do?

Sometimes you should let the universe tell you what to do.

That's the one.

Well, look at what the universe just told me.

I have two tickets for the opera this evening. Completely slipped my mind.

Now, here's a thought.

Why don't the two of us just sneak out and go?

And leave?

Greg and Edward here.

Yes, we'll find out. Look at them. They're having fun. We're bored to

Besides, what's that other thing you say about not questioning the universe?

Don't question the universe?

Well put.

Shall we?

Well, I guess it'll be all right. Of course it will, dear.

Everything will be just fine.

Going down.

Do you know first?

No. Oh, it's my favorite opera. I've seen it a dozen times.

remember Dharma?
