a condo, and a yeast

infection behind the times.

Why don't you just stick to the

seventies and move to Cleveland?

If I can offer a more

practical suggestion,

- Why don't you just talk?

- Talk?

About something

close to you.

Why don't you just quit f***ing

beating around the bush and ask her?

Just ask her!

- Do you have to be so crude?

- Shut up.

Come on, Cynthia, dish out the dirt.

Tell us about the commune.

You know, the last gasp of

the age of Aquarius.

Building a better future

on what? Chemistry?

Good vibrations?

Tie-dyeing your undies?

Don't talk to her. She's a reporter.

She writes stories about Elvis

zombies from outer space.

They were from Atlantis.

I had pictures.

Shut up. Just tell us

about the orgies, Cynthia.

- She was a child at the time.

- So?

I'm sorry, I do not have

any stories like that.

But I will tell you what

I do remember.

What we felt.

What we believed was that if people

could become selfless enough,

if they could free themselves

from their egos,

They would experience a

kind of togetherness.

A oneness. A Unity. That is

where the name came from.

We had a dream about a perfect

society based on love and trust.

We weren't trying to change the world,

we were just trying to love each other

as much as we could.

Bullshit.

No!

It's not bullshit!

It's beautiful. it's

beautiful. It's not bullshit.

No! It's not bullshit!

it's beautiful. It's not bullshit.

Lana hasn't spoken to anyone

for three weeks, and now

love, peace, and Woodstock.

Am I missing something?

Yeah. She's espousing a

total belief system, Cynthia is.

Make a commitment,

make a decision to love.

And you're healed.

You're made whole.

It's not a new idea, Alex

Get rid of the troublesome ego.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Go, ego. Run free.

I'm still not sure she

belongs in the group.

You don't have to be sure, Alex.

You don't have to come to a decision.

You know, the important thing

is that she recovers her memory.

Now she relates to you, she

likes you for some reason.

I don't know why, but she does.

So let's just press on.

Alright?

Drop down to first gear,

honey. it's Miller Time.

What are these?

Vitamins?

Beauty secrets from the Orient.

Look what they've done for me.

- Ralph.

- Hello!

You in a cooperative mood, or

do I have to tie you up again?

Promises, promises.

Open.

Next time it'll be lower.

She's crazy about me.

Hey, I've got a great idea. Why

don't you come up to my room?

And I'll catch you

up to date?

I got a hi-fi VHS VCR,

a CD, and MTV.

I don't think so.

You know what I do when it

all gets to be too much?

I make a little hole,

and it all escapes.

Well, there's the assistant
