- Don't know.

Price check.



- Hey, Dharma.



- Hey.

Look at you.

Oh, it's hard to beieve.

Do we know her?



- Honey, it's Donna from the express ane.



- Oh, express lane Donna.

So you and Jimmy must be getting pretty excited, huh?

I guess.

What's wrong?

Jimmy left.

What?

What happened?

He told me that he was being transferred to New Zealand.

But I saw him yesterday at 7

-Eleven.

What did he say?

He pretended he wasn't him.

I hate it when guys do that.

What guys do that?



- Honey, we're here to be supportive.



- I thought we were here to shop.

You just let it out.

Come, come, come.

This lane is closed.

She can't do that.

Hey, 've seen her cose an interstate so ducks can cross.

Oh, don't know what to do.

Can't raise this baby by mysef.

Can't your parents hep you?

Dharma, you know my parents.

Yeah, right.

You know her parents?

Honey, she is our checkout girl.

Think ' have to give this baby up for adoption.

'M just not ready to do this aone.

But, Donna, you are not alone.

You have me and Greg.

Thanks, but it's not the same thing.

I want this baby to have two parents.

You know, a mother and a father, like you guys.

Hey, maybe you could adopt my baby.



- Yeah!

- Yeah! Okay, she's nice and comfy.

That's because our bed is nice and comfy.

Greg, you can't expect a pregnant woman to sleep on a ratty old air mattress.

No, I expect her to sleep in her home.

That's my itte system for the word.

At the end of the day, everyone returns to their own home.

Come on, it' be fun.

T's just ike camping.

Yes, except we're not outside, and you vounteered us to adopt a stranger's baby.

Donna is not a stranger.

She is our checkout girl.

Dharma, I understand when you go to the supermarket you might pick up an impulse item.

Gum, nail clippers, a horoscope if you're feeing nutty.

But come on, not a baby.

You know what?

You might be right.

Let's get some seep and talk about it in the morning.

Fine.

But reay don't think

- In the morning.



- Okay.

But I still We're not gonna sove this now, so et's just give it some time.

Dharma, this is a huge decision.



- We should both agree on it.



- Of course.

So if I give it time, and I still Forget about it for now.

Let's pretend that we're camping in the Redwoods making love under the harvest moon.

Oh, man, I gotta pee.

Next to a big waterfall.

So is this checkout girl cute?

What's that got to do with it?

We, if she's not seeing that guy anymore maybe you could introduce me.

Pete, she's having a baby.

Yeah, but she's giving it to you.

No, she's not.

How long after they have the kid do they keep making milk?

Seek professional help.

You are ill.



- That was about the

- Hello.



- Hi, you're here.

Come on in.



- Hi.

Yeah, sorry we're ate.



- Strong headwind on the bridge.



- You biked here?



- Yeah.



- Yeah, yeah.

We, we, we We Yeah, we don't wanna participate in the fossil fuel addiction foisted upon us by multinational corporations.

Yeah.

And, and, and And so from now on, we will use the energy of our bodies to transport us instead of exploiting the planet we live on.

And what planet would that be, Larry?

What was so important that we coudn't tak over the phone?

Dharma and I are having a problem, and I could really use your help.

Is it about sex?

No, no, no.

Because Dharma understands when you're tired.

Good.

No, this is about a baby.



- You're having a baby.



- No, no, we're not having a baby.

There's a gir who works at our supermarket and she's pregnant, and Dharma wants us to adopt her baby.



- The girl who works at your supermarket?



- Yes.



- Do you know her?



- No, not at all.

Like, just taking a stranger's baby into your home and raising it as your own.

I know.

Greg, it's your first random act of kindness.

We're so proud of you.

Oh, man.

So do you think being adopted had a negative effect on you?

Heck, no.

I turned out fine.

Get out of this fish, you stupid bracelet!

- Hey.



- Hey.

Daddy's home.

Yeah.

Where's Dharma?

Wasn't feeing so good so she took over my shift at the supermarket.

She's working as a checkout gir?

We, what's wrong with being a checkout girl?

No, nothing.

Then how come you went to lawyer school instead of checkout

-girl school?

- But can't.



- We, then you shoudn't make a decision.



- No.

The answer is no.

"The answer is no?

" 'M sorry, Dharma, but you can't hep every human being on the planet.

But you can help the ones that are right in front of you.

We should put her in touch with one of those organizations that are set up to handle this thing.

- No.



- Oh, man.



- What's wrong?

Okay, listen, Donna.

I know I said that we'd adopt your baby.

But I messed up, and I really should have talked to Greg first.

He doesn't want the baby?

It was totally unfair.

Oh, well, thanks.

You've a right to fee the way you do.

Shoudn't have forced you into it.

No, that's okay.

I just have to remember

- that you and I do things differently.

That's true.

Dharma, I have a friend from law school who specializes in adoptions.

'M sure he can find a terrific coupe to adopt the baby.

Greg, that's great.

Hey, that's my charm braceet.

I thought I lent that to Jane.

That's weird.

Dharma, thanks for understanding.

'M sorry was so about it.

We, mean, you can't make a decision that's gonna change your ife on the spur of the moment.

I did when I met you.

Yeah, but that's different

- Gotta go.



- Is there anything I can do?



- Just answer the door.



- How'd you do that?



- I heard the elevator.



- Hope that's your mother.



- No, it's your mother.

Gregory, it's your mother.

Don't know.

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.

How long were we in Europe?

Gregory, this is not making any sense whatsoever.

T's reay very simpe.

Our checkout girl, Donna, is having a baby, we're heping her.



- 'M sorry, what was that name?



- Donna.



- Donna.



- Oh, bully for you, Edward.

I like to read in there until I get prune

-y.

Edward, we're surrounded.

Don't abandon me now.

Oh, cramp.

Cramp.

Cramp.

Cramp.

Larry.

Larry, that is very annoying.

The bell in general or just this song?

Edward, don't beieve etiquette requires we be present at the birth of a child whose mother works in our daughter

-in

-aw's supermarket.



- We can see the baby.



- Push.



- It looks just like this:

- Push, two, three, four, come on.

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?
