Dharma & Greg s02e02 Episode Script

Wait a minute.
With all the confusion of being born and being adopted no one has formally welcomed you to Earth.
So on behalf of the planet, welcome.
If this is your first time here, I can give you a few pointers.
Let's see.
Well, just remember, your body is your temple.
But it is also your dance hall and your bowling alley.
You' find that everything tastes better chunky.
And if you ever feel that the world is a horrible place and you' never have a reason to smile again just hide a tiny little harmonica in your nose and get into a crowded elevator.

- Honey, pease don't ca him itte man.
Because it' give him a compex about his size and lock him into a gender role.
Excuse me, but I checked his diaper.
He's ocked into a gender roe.
Having a penis does not lock you in.

They can go.
Wait a minute.
Does this make you uncomfortable? Yes.
- You were raised the same way.
- No, wasn't.
What about the nanny, the tutor, the maid? That's not the same thing.
They were all paid to take care of me.
Hey, good news, everybody.
Greg wants to pay you.
- No.
- Oh, that's great.
Listen, you two are gonna want some time aone, so why don't you pick a date night, and we' cover for you once a week.
Okay.
Well, that does actually sound helpful.
See? If you give this a shot, you might like it.
Come on, everybody.
Let's decide on a feeding rotation so our new parents can get some sleep.
Wait a minute.
Why do you get to decide the feeding rotation? Well, somebody has to do it, Lar.
- Maybe we should vote on it.
- We should draw straws.
Maybe we should vote as to whether or not we should draw straws.
God, this brings back so many memories.
You know, maybe we should hold all votes unti Greg's parents join the viage.
Abby, don't know.
My parents aren't reay viage peope.
They've gotta be part of this.
I should go talk to them.
Dharma, think my mother's having a hard time with the whole adoption thing.
I think we should just give her some space.
Don't know.
I think I should go talk to them.
Okay.
All in favor of giving Kitty some space, say aye.
Aye.
You can go.
'M sorry she can't see you, but she's taken to her bed.
Why? Is she sick? No, but if anyone asks Oh, wait.
Yes.
- T's about us adopting the baby, isn't it? - Don't care if he's back.
This is your grandpa.
He's gonna tak about you being black a lot, so just bear with him.
He processes things out loud.
Would you mind? - What? What should I do with him? - Just talk to him.
He loves to listen to people talk.
Hi.
You know, 've never tod anyone this but 've aways had this thing for Lena Horne.
Hey.
- Oh, no.
- Incoming.
I just came by to say hey.
Hey.
- Guess who put on a bra for you? - Very nice.
T's got underwire.
T hurts.
- Wonderful.
- Come on, Kitty.
What's wrong? Nothing is wrong, Dharma.
You win.
- What? - You win.
You are in charge of the family now.
So, what's next? We all move to the moon and farm broccoli under some big glass bubble? Fine, fine.
Just tell me what to wear.
Don't understand.
Dharma, I do not have the strength to try to make everything appear normal anymore.
Kitty, everything is normal.
Oh, yes.
Of course it is.
My son marries a woman he's known for one day moves into a building woudn't store my coats in.
His mother-in-law talks to plants.
His father-in-law hears them talk back.
And now, without any notice without any warning, I am a grandmother.
And I am not like Edward I do not care that this baby is black.
Oh, you poor thing.
Come here.
Oh, dear God, what is she going to do to me now? Okay, that settles the feeding rotation.
Let's tak about where the baby's gonna seep.
Well, my ancestors constructed hammocks for infants from the stomach linings of elephants.
Why would I make that up? Vote for a crib because it's a boy, and it needs to be behind bars.
That is so sexist.
Can't be sexist.
'm oppressed.
You're teing me about oppression? What do either of you know about oppression? After 5000 years, my people know some Guys! Guys! Wait a minute.
Let's Let's Let's just a remember that when we try our best we're never oppressed.
I have to go to work, so guess ' see everybody ater.
Oh, Greg, here's some stuff we need for the baby.
Okay, thanks.
And if you're near a forist or a wooded area, we need moss.
Moss? And a fifth of Jack Danie's? Naomi, you are so close to your 90-day chip.
Great reverb in the bathroom.
- Abby, who's this? - This is Sean.
He's ike our viage troubadour.
Play him what you got already, Sean.
My name's Greg.
Greg, huh? Okay, now that is gonna be tough.
Do you have a wooden leg or drink from a keg? I gotta go.
You know, don't understand.
If she adopted the baby why does she need him? Anyway, I was turned down by Juilliard because my left leg was ever so slightly shorter than my right.
When I spin, I tend to drift.
Oh, you must have been heartbroken.
Heartbroken doesn't begin to describe it.
I meandered aimlessly about Europe for a couple of years just shopping, having pointless affairs with exotic foreign men.
Go, Kitty.
Then one morning, I was sitting on the beach at Cannes at the Hotel Carlton - Do you know it? - No.
T's wonderfu.
- And I realized that my true destiny was to be the matriarch of a large, powerful family.
Like the Kennedys, but not Catholic.
- So why didn't you have a ot of kids? - Coudn't have any more after Gregory.
Reay? 'm sorry.
Why? It hurt too bad.
Don't care what they say.
Smart women never forget that kind of pain.
This could work out pretty good for you, Kitty.
Because 'm gonna have a buttload of kids and you could matriarch them.
Really? Don't have deusions of grandeur.
That' be what you teach them.
Of course.
It would be sort of like with the horses.
You'd be the breeder, 'd be the trainer.
Something like that.
Well, exactly like that.
Well, listen we have a lot to do, my dear.
Where is the baby? - I left him with Edward.
- Oh, are you out of your mind? Haven't you ever fet that divot in Gregory's forehead? Oh, for God's sakes.
- Hey.
- What's up? Nothing.
What are you doing here? Waiting.
- Waiting for what? - Mr.
Montgomery, your village is here.
I rode up with them in the elevator.
Marlene, Mr.
Montgomery will see his village now.
- Come on, right in here.
- Greg.
You remember everybody.
T's Kim and Naomi and Prospero.
- Hi, Pete.
- Hi.
- Sean.
- Hi.
- What's going on? Why is everybody here? - A lot of important stuff came up.
What are you doing here? I joined your village.
Your village is growing.
Yeah, and there's an opening for an idiot.
Now, Greg, everyone feels that you and Dharma need to move to a bigger apartment.
Yeah, we all feel that, Greg.
Shut up, Pete.
Why? Well, because you could use the room.
And because Naomi sensed some unsettled spirits tethered around the place.
Unsettled spirits? "Or it coud just be drafty.
" You know, 'm gonna go check the obby because you seem to be short a cowboy and a construction worker.
Listen, everybody, can we not do this now? - Anyone second his motion to postpone? - I second.
- All in favor? - Aye.
'M sorry, Greg.
The motion doesn't carry.
Okay.
So where were we? - What about the refrigerator? - The apartment No, no, no.
You don't understand.
My grandchild is going to have his first exam from the head of Pediatric Medicine.
What do you mean impossible? Would you grant me a favor? Would you lean out the window and look at the name on the side of the buiding that you're sitting? Yes, that Montgomery.
Two o'cock woud be fine.
Thank you.
All right.
Look.
- Yes? - Kitty, it's very sweet of you to bully people for us but we have a doctor.
But woudn't you be more comfortabe with someone who's treated the children of four presidents? - Well, our guy treated the Zappa kids.
- What are Zappa kids? You know, Dweezil, Moon Unit Kitty, he doesn't need to go to a hospital.
Excuse me, Dharma, darling, but you asked me to get involved here.
Now, do you want my help or don't you? - Yeah, but I just - Splendid.
Then we're going to ca the decorator because we really must get the nursery for For heaven's sakes, we must name this child.
Just thought we'd get to know him for a while and then let his spirit guide us to his true name.
Well, let me give you a little hint.
F we name him after Edward's favorite Uncle Fergus he might just inherit a tobacco company.
Sebastian.
Daring, it's Kitty.
Oh, I have wonderful news.
Yes.
I am so sorry.
All right.
No, I got it.
The motion, as modified, reads: "The new refrigerator wi be side-by-side, no icemaker, but icemaker-ready.
" ' Say it ti the day die.
You can't put a dei patter in a side-by-side refrigerator.
- But, Larry, the vote was four to three.
- Yeah, but your vote shoudn't count.
- You're Canadian.
- What? That is so racist.
- How is that racist? - Heo, she's from Canada.
- Do you not see the injustice? - What do you know about injustice? - Hello.
Can I say something here? - You want injustice? - You try getting a record contract.
- That's not injustice, you suck.
All right, just knock it off! Thank you.
Okay, now, Abby know you're doing this out of love.
And the rest of you taking time out of your lives just can't thank you enough.
But 've got to te you, 'm having a reay hard time with the whole village thing.
That is so honest and open and straight from the heart.
And I think we all know what he's saying, don't we? - Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
A in favor of Greg's motion to disband, say aye.
A right, so we're back to the Does little Fergus like his new clothes? Kitty, his name isn't Fergus and pease don't tak baby tak to him.
