pretty fierce gun battles,

and I think it

twisted him up a bit,

and after

a couple of failures,

he actually

hit the jackpot

with one of the top five

toys of all time,

-the g.I. Joe.

-Now that is cool.

You have one message.

Message one--

hello, Anthony,

it's rose.

Thanks for taking care

of the bills and

the dry cleaning.

-Let's just forget--

-uncle a, there's a man.

-Shh.

-I had a really busy

first part of the day,

so I was unable

to call you back,

but the day slowed

and camilian came in

to surprise me,

so I'm taking the rest

of the day off.

Camilian wants to give me

a free session in exchange

for dinner,

so we should be getting there

a little earlier for dinner

than I thought,

maybe around 7:
00?

- Okay, honey.

- See you soon.

Trouble in

the rose garden?

Yeah, you could

say that again.

This camilian guy,

he likes aunt rose?

No, it's not--

i don't think so,

not like that.

No, he's a

homeopathic healer.

You mean like

a witch doctor?

Yeah, kinda like that,

you know?

He's-- but he's not all

wacky and tripped out,

at least not

on the surface.

He's more like a new

generation-type weirdo,

like a Wal-Mart cult leader

under cover or something?

He looks...

More like a math teacher

than, uh, than a healer dude.

-Sounds odd.

-Yeah, well,

he is a bit fruitcake-y,

but, you know, again,

it's pretty well hidden.

I mean, after all,

he did help cure

aunt rose's

thyroid problem,

which made her

completely depressed

and pardon my French,

a b*tch.

But the sessions worked.

She was really

sweet to me,

and things were

really nice, for a while.

I mean, it's probably

been six months

since we've been

nice to each other.

What the hell?

Why is she getting

a free session

for the dinner I'm making?

Shouldn't i

get the session?

I'm making

the damn dinner.

Sounds like you've

put a lot of thought

into this.

Yeah, it's too much.

Are you jealous?

No, I'm pissed off,

or over it, maybe.

I don't know.

I feel like a jerk.

It's just--

it's complicated.

Seems very complicated.

Yeah, well, some of his

spiritual philosophies

are a bit odd and rose

is starting to take to them.

And I don't think that I can

subscribe to these ideals.

-She asking you to?

-Not yet.

But things have changed

between us.

-How so?

-Well, she doesn't--

she doesn't call me

the cute names she used

to call me,

and she doesn't

look at me the same.

And every time she brings up

her new outlook on life,

if I have anything

to say about it,

she gets all

bent out of shape,

and I become

the a-hole.

I don't know, if--

if she asks me to join

the camilian daily cult,

it would be over

between us.

I would have to

walk away.

Walk away?

Are you saying

it would be over?

No more aunt rose?

Absolutely.

I couldn't do it.

Do you love her?

Yeah.

I do.

But...

It's gotta be

a two-way street,

you know?

There's a line and I just--

i can't cross it.

Rough.

The rat can only

run the wheel

in motion

for only so long

before it will

die of exhaustion.

Ahem.

Take my mom and dad.

They have no business

being together.

They fight so much,

it's good they separated.

That's cold.

I'm not being cold

but they just don't fit.

Never did.

They make each other stupid.

-Yeah, but--

-at least you know

where the line is

drawn in the sand,

and which side

you stand on,

as long as

you follow your heart.

I've grown sick of

people who say one thing

and then do another.

That's not you, uncle a.

I believe you will do

what's best for you.

I will.

I promise.

A promise it is.

Barbra.

Barbra.

Barbra.

Babs.

Get up!

Barbra.

Babs.

Pops is a very

deep sleeper.

Yeah, always has been.

Barbra.

Get up, Barbra.

Get up, Barbra.

Barbra. Barbra.

Get up, Barbra.

Barbra, come on, buddy.

Get up.

Barbra.

Barbra.

Barbra.

Come on!

She's here!

-It's rose.

-What do we do?

I think it can

be instantaneous.

--Seriously,

for example--

-no, I agree.

-For example,

I spent--

this is lovely, by the way.

- Thank you.

- -I spent the first,

easily the first

25 years of my life

looking up at the moon,

never saw the man.

Never saw the man

and then one day,

there he was.

There he was,

instantaneous.

Anthony!

We're home!

Everything changed for me.

Everything.

The way of looking,

and that's how change can be.

-It can be instantaneous.

-Unbelievable.

But I think-- I think

seeing the man in the moon

kind of ruined

the moon for me--

-oh.

-Oh, hey,

there you are.

Hey!

Hey, brother.

Get over here!

Oh, we don't shake!

Shaking's what you do

when you're in the depths

of fear.

Oh, it feels good

to be in your presence.

You have some good energy

this evening.

Mmm.

-All right.

-So, is dinner ready?

Oh, I have been hearing about

this white gazpacho soup.

-Uh, no.

-No?

But you left

a couple messages

saying you'd started it.

Yeah.

I had a really busy day.

I had a lot of yesses.

Oh, really?

Wow.

That's surprising.

Well, that sounds good.

Why is that surprising?

What are you putting

your energy into, brother?

Uh, it's a temp job.

A temporary job

is a job.

A job is a connector

to your dreams.

And if you can put some of that

back into the community,

back into the society,

i mean, that's--

that's good for the process.

That's good for your

karmic purposes.

Yeah, I sell burial insurance,

for-- uh, over the phone.

Wow.

Uh...

Hmm.

So you want to

get dinner started?

We're starving.

Who wants a glass

of red?

-I would like

a glass of red.

- Me, me.

Me too.

Shh!

-Oh, my universe.

-Oh wow.

Oh!

Oh, my.

Oh, this looks and

smells of love!

-Oh, my.

-Thanks, cam.

Nicely--

camilian.

-I'm sorry?

-My name! It--

my name.

I go by my birth star name.

It's camilian.

Never "cam."

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean

to offend you.

No, no, no, no.

It's okay.

You were coming from,

you know, a healthy place

and I know you didn't

mean any harm by it,

but, um...

You know, you and I,

we are from

the same tribe, brother.

Mmm.

Oh, wow.

Well, you know,

if you keep cooking

like this

and inviting me

i may have to change

my name policy.

Let you call me

whatever you want.

Just don't call me

late for dinner.

It's really good.

Thank you.

Mmm.

Mmm!

It's better than breakfast.

How's the thyroid therapy

sessions going?

You've been at it

for quite a while now.

Oh, well, I think

thyroid issue's behind us.

Really?

I did not know that.

I told you that

like two weeks ago.

Yeah, but I thought maybe

you weren't totally healed,

because you kept

the sessions going.

Hmm.

Well, what we did was

we removed the negative

energy from the thyroid

and then we discovered

new blockages while

we were there

that were blocking

what we discovered to be

actually the origin

of the thyroid issue.

What it was blocking.

Oh, what kind of

blockages are you

uncovering?

Oh, I can't talk about it.

No, we can't--

we can't talk about it.

I mean, it's just too
