- I said heads up.



- So I did.

Well

- Thank you for a night ' never forget.



- Wait, Dharma.

Enough's enough.

Why don't you just get your stuff and come home with me.

Maybe a midnight swim in sewage and medical waste works on some girls, but not Dharma Finkelstein.

Game's over.

We now know that if we dated it woudn't have gone so we.

Hey, now, don't give up.

Maybe the third date's a charm.



- No, no

- 'm free tomorrow night.

Tomorrow is the museum fundraiser at my parents'.

Good, 've been dying to meet your parents.



- Dharma

- And especially your mother.

I bet we have so much in common.

We can't pretend we're dating there.



- Why not?



- Why not?

Because it's weird.

No, it's not.

Oh, come on, of all the weird stuff you do, this is right up there.

All the weird stuff I do?

You know what, et's just forget it and go home.

No, no, no, no, I wanna hear more about all the weird stuff I do.

You know, that sometimes, you know, you can be a little embarrassing.

You know that.



- Oh, so I embarrass you.



- Sometimes, yes.

But it's not your faut.

T's just who you are.

So 'm an embarrassment, ike, oh, my fy's open I have a booger in my nose and have you met my wife?



- That's not what meant.



- I know what you meant.

So ' ca you?

Operator, 've been trying to dia that number all night.

Can you break in?

Greg Montgomery.

What do you mean, she woudn't take the call?

All right, all right.

Break in again and tell her that I love her and that 'm reay, reay sorry.

We, say it so it doesn't sound pathetic.

Never mind!

- Hi, Jane.



- T's Greg.



- Is that Dharma?



- He wants to know if it's you.

No.



- Can I please speak to her?



- He wants to know if he can talk to you.

Well, what do you want me to say?

Bite me.



- We, that's what you shoud've said.



- Jane, Jane.

Jane.

Look, buddy, you're a bit worked up.

Maybe you should walk it off, huh?

Yeah, yeah, you're right, okay.

We, 'm gonna go get a beer, you wanna come?

Can't.

She's got me on kind of a short leash.



- Hey.



- Gotta go.

He called you weird?

Man.

Heo, pot.

T's me kette.

Come on, Larry, before we judge Greg maybe we should put on his head and look through his eyes.

Have put on his head unti 'm bue in the face.

Can't see anything.

Maybe you had it on backwards.

Sn't it possibe, Dharma, that there are some things you do that are a little outside of his cultural context?

Abby, I have made so many compromises for Greg.

Eat eggs from chickens, everyone has their own toothbrush.

I have had sex in the bed more times than I care to count.

Well, I hate to take sides, Dharma, but it does seem you've gone that extra mie.

Thank you.

Where does he get off calling me weird?

Oh, man, who let the goat out of its pen?



- Hi, Larry.



- Greg.

Your baoons say 'm sorry.

Yeah.

What did they do?

Can you please just tell Dharma that 'm here?

Yes, can te Dharma that you're here.

But can't te you that Dharma's here.

Just go in and tell her.

How did you find out she was here?

Some old stoner told me.

We, just as ong as you didn't hear it from me.

Hi.

Oh, hi.



- What you doing?



- Crocheting a poncho for the goat.

Weird, huh?

Okay, okay, look.

I was cold and wet and I said some things that shoudn't have.

Come on, let me make it up to you.



- Let me take you on another date.



- Nope.

Brought you "'m Sorry" baoons.

Oh, were they all out of "My ditzy wife embarrasses me" baoons?

Dharma, you're buiding a dam where you should be building a bridge.

Wait a minute.

Am I the old stoner?

Sorry.

Let's face it, Greg.

Embarrass you.

In front of your parents, at the country cub, that thing with your boss's wife.



- What happened with my boss's wife?



- Nothing.

The point is, it's a probem and don't see a soution.



- What are you saying?



- Just don't know.

Maybe we need some time.

Maybe we shoudn't see each other for a whie.



- Come on, Dharma, game's over.



- No, this is not a game, Greg.

F you want, ' te her you dropped by.

So Dharma found out about this woman you were dating.

No, no, no.

Dharma was the woman I was dating.

They're both named Dharma?

What are the odds of that?

Never mind.

Gregory, let me give you some advice.

Crawl back to your wife on your hands and knees with a fur coat between your teeth.

She doesn't ike fur.

Oh, what about the other gal?

What are you two doing in here?

The guests are arriving.

Where's Dharma?

We had a bad fight.

I made a huge mess of things.



- Oh, Gregory.



- Don't know what to do.

Oh, daring, don't worry.

There's aways a soution.

I know.

The Buckley girl arrived without a date.

You can sit next to her.

Sometimes a guy just needs his mom.

Now listen.

She had a little too much collagen injected into her lips so she cannot pronounce the letters M or P.

So if she starts to mumble play it safe and just pass the mashed potatoes.

Edward, come, come, come.

Oh, good.

We're having mashed potatoes.



- 'M sorry, Greg, she's not here.



- Larry.

Larry?

Dharma?

Know you're in there.

F you don't wanna come out, fine.

But please listen to me.

Know hurt you and 'm sorry.

And And to tell you the truth, yes sometimes you do embarrass me, but that's my probem.

You're an amazing, incredibe woman and I am so lucky to have you in my life.

And I want you to keep on doing those things that embarrass me because they're part of why ove you.

They They're the things that teach me not to be self

-conscious and care what people think.

Here.

' Show you.



- What's he doing?



- He's taking off his cothes.

Oh, look how he folds everything up so nice and neat.

Dharma, 'm naked and 'm on my knees.

Please forgive me.

Hey, hey.

Hey, Greg, don't want to interrupt you here.

But when I said before that Dharma wasn't home wasn't covering up for her.

She's reay not here?

Anyway, stay as long as you like.

But if you're gonna pay with the goat, be careful.

He can get a little curious.

Stupid goat.



- Hi.



- That was the most beautiful thing you ever did.

All those things you said, taking your clothes off, being so vulnerable.



- Thought you weren't there.



- Wasn't but Larry has surveillance cameras.

T's on tape?

And when I watched it, I realized how lucky I am to be married to you.



- Oh, my God, this is so romantic.



- Didn't te you?



- Give me the tape, Jane.



- Oh, no.

Pete has to see this.

He has to learn.

Nice package.

Told you.



- Oh, God.



- Are you embarrassed?

No.

No.

L I did what I did to show the world that I love you.

And there's nothing on that tape to be embarrassed about.

- Let's go get the tape.

- Thank you.

- Jane.

Jane!

- Jane.

Jane!
