lsn't this great?

A real old-fashioned town picnic.

Can't get this in Manhattan.

Which is why we're gonna stay

exactly ten minutes.

We're gonna make an appearance,

and then we're gonna get out of here.

Kids, l'm really sorry about all of this,

but let's try and have fun.

Mom, it's a picnic.

- Chill.

- Go ahead, go ahead, have fun.

Ten minutes?

Walter, you just don't get it.

These women are like

deranged-flight-attendant friendly.

- They're gonna be all over me.

- Joanna!

Here we go.

- Oh, Joanna.

- Joanna, hi.

- Hi, Walter.

- Hi.

- You look great.

- l love you in khakis.

They're new, a little experiment.

Now l know why they call it

Banana Republic.

Excuse me. Excuse me!

Excuse me, ladies. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Am l the only one who finds all of this

more than a little disturbing?

We are celebrating

our nation's birthday,

but there are almost no

African-Americans,

no Native Americans,

no Asian Americans,

and... Oh, my God.

Hey, you're Joanna Eberhart.

You got such a raw deal.

Aren't you Bobbie Markowitz?

l love your books, especially

the last one. What was it called?

lt was about your relationship

with your mother.

- I Love You But PIease Die.

- Hey, baby. Baby.

Look what l did, look.

Happy Fourth of July, everybody.

Excuse me.

- Yes, he's my husband.

- Hey Kresbo-Man.

- Hey, Dave.

- Men's Association.

- That place.

- No, l finished a chapter.

- Did you make the sandwiches?

- Did you?

- Where are the kids?

- What kids?

Our kids.

- Hey, are you two OK?

- We're fine.

- Come on, l need a cookie.

- See what l mean?

Jerry... Jerry, it's a bake sale,

an actual bake sale.

lt's like some heavenly diorama

at the Smithsonian

in the Hall of Homemakers.

Oh, no. No, stop it.

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

That is not cobbler.

Roger, could we...? Could we reel it

in, like, a couple of hundred yards?

How do you ladies keep your figures?

ls there just a huge vat

of cobbler vomit somewhere?

- But worth it?

- Roger.

Oh, l'm sorry.

- That is...

- This is fabulous.

Jerry thinks that l overdo,

you know, everything.

Excuse me, aren't you

Roger Bannister?

The amazing architect

from The Times?

Oh, thank you. This is Jerry Harmon.
