Let's pretend that we're camping in the Redwoods making love under the harvest moon.
Oh, man, I gotta pee.

That was just totally freaky.
- Hello, hello.
- What are you doing here? Don't you have something you want to tell me? Stop by anytime.
No need to call.
Gregory, when were you planning to tell us about this baby? That? Don't know.
Why would you even care? Oh, Edward, do you hear what your son is saying? Don't know.
You te me.
Oh, mama, that was a big one.
What is going on up there? What do you think? A woman's having a baby.

Hey, Greg, don't you wanna get in there and see your child being born? Your child? What are you talking about? Dharma and Greg are adopting Donna's baby.
The baby's ooking at me, Mama.
Heads up, head's out.
'M the photographer.
You are going to adopt that gir's baby? Donna.
We thought about it, but we decided not to.
Well, thank God.
- This was Dharma's idea, wasn't it? - Yeah.
Well, sort of.
At least you have some sense, Gregory.
That girl would take in every stray cat if it weren't for you.
- T's not a cat, Mother, it's a chid.
- Of course, of course.
But there are organizations that help girls when they get into this condition.
- That's what tod her.
- Good.
As a matter of fact, I am hosting a benefit for unwed mothers next month.
A wine-tasting cruise.
Think it's gonna be a lot of fun.
Everybody's dressing as wenches and pirates.
There's something to be said for getting in there and helping someone who's right in front of you.
Oh, for God's sakes, Gregory, that's what nuns are for.
Believe me, you did the right thing.
You don't make a decision on the spur of the moment that' turn your ife upside-down.
I did when I met Dharma.
We've got a big, heathy baby boy.
Five, five, five, five and one.
Dharma, wait.
- What? - I changed my mind.
I want us to adopt the baby.
What? - Really? - Yes, really.
- Are you sure? - Absolutely.
I want to do this.
I love you.
Hey, you guys, we're gonna do it.
We're gonna adopt the baby.
Dharma, that's wonderfu.
No, no, no.
We decided on the wine-tasting cruise, didn't we? We changed our mind.
Come on, everybody.
Meet the newest member of our family.
That's a back chid.
Abby, I hate this.
Saving the planet was your idea, Larry.
- We' give up the washing machine.
- No.
And let go of my fender.
Can't peda anymore.
You can't just stay on the bridge.
You're right.
' Wait here.
You ride home and get the van.
Yeah.
You wait right here, Larry.
Abby? You're coming back, right? Abby?
