After Harold and his family enjoy some of her "groovy" brownies, he decides to "drop out" with her and become a hippie too.

- Ma.

- Where's the telephone?

There used to be a phone over here.

Did you see it?

- Where?

- Ma, don't do that. That's bad scene.

- Ma, what are you doing?

- What am I doing?

I'm calling the Veteran's Administration.

They'll know what to do about you.

It happened in Korea,

who am I kidding?

Information, give me the V.A.

I'm calling Section Eight.

- Don't do it, Ma, please!

- "Don't do it. Ma, please"?

Look at this place.

I never saw such a mess.

- It's a pigsty.

- No, Ma, listen...

That'll teach you

to run around barefoot.

What is this? Who is this?

What is this?

Is this one of your new friends?

Shame on you. Go on a diet.

All I eat is grass and acid.

- He eats grass and acid.

- Hi, Mom.

Oh, dear, Ma, that's very bad.

- Why did you hit Herbie like...?

- Don't argue with me!

Take these. I'm cleaning up.

- Great for you to visit...

- Cats, he's got in here.

Don't give me orders

in my own home.

- This is a stove, not a bed.

- This is a hip home, Ma. I don't like...

- Bad trip. Bad trip.

- Ma.

- Don't give me orders here.

- Oh, brownies!

Hey, don't eat those, Ma.

They're Alice B. Toklas brownies.

I love you, Alice B. Toklas.

Who is Alice B. Toklas?

- Gertrude Stein's friend.

- Oh, yeah, Gertrude Stein.

She used to live on Oakwood.

- Oh, hi, Mr. Rodriguez.

- Good morning, Senor Fine.

- We hate to bother you in your house...

- Come in, man. Come in.

Hello, hi, how are you?

Herbie, baby.

Come on.

- Have some brownies.

- That's okay.

"Blessed be you, Harold and Joyce,

who come in the name of the Lord.

We bless you

with the blessings of God.

We pray that these blessings may rest

gently and lovingly upon you both.

Praised be thou, O Lord, who has

blessed these children of Israel...

...through the covenant

of holy wedlock...

...and beneath this

chuppah canopy of marriage.

As by the wedding ring you symbolize

your marriage bond"...

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Ben!

- I knew it.

I knew it.

I knew it.

Hey, where are you going, man?

I don't know.

I don't know!

I don't know and I don't care!

I don't care!

But there's gotta be something

beautiful out there!

There's got to be.

I know it!

Hey! Hey, I know it!
