- Hey Bob!

- Hi Carol!

- How are you doing?

- How are you?

It's good to see you.

Nice to see you!

Did you guys have lunch yet?

Yeah. I've got

a special treat

I'm making, you might

want to sit down.

You know, Susan is resting

in the other room today

so can you come and do

the music session there?

We'll just pull my keyboard

into the room and...

Move it in.

- Lila, you'll help me, right?

- Yeah.

Okay.

Do you mind going to the

fridge and get me the...

like the nova, the cream

cheese, maybe some vegetables.

You know, we don't

have any left.

Sure, there is.

There was a lot left.

I'm going to make

Bob's Bagel.

No, I told you,

there's nothing.

What happened to

the Everything Bagel?

- Hi everybodyl

- Bob! '

- How are you?

- Good to see you!

Oh, you can just take

that stuff straight through

We'll be there

in a minute.

I got it.

Listen, Carol,

just because you happened

to be a psychotherapist

doesn't mean you see the dark

recesses of everybody's hearts

or their

stomachs either.

This has nothing to do with

me being a psychotherapist.

You asked if I had brought

three Everything Bagels.

I think you had a personal

interest in those.

That's exactly

my point,

if I wanted to

have all three

would I draw attention to

it like that in the car?

Yeah, I think you would.

I like Bob.

I want to give him

something special.

He has a personal

relationship with mom.

I'd like to

give him a gift.

Come on, he works for us.

He's in our employ.

He doesn't need

a gift basket

every time he comes

to our house.

I'm not giving

him a gift basket.

I'm giving him an

Everything Bagel.

He's an artist.

A wonderful,

wonderful artist!

Pretty soon he and I are

going to be working together.

He's going to be ticking out

Hava Nagila at a bar mitzvah

and I'll be committing the

whole thing to eternal video;

And anyway, the two of you

would work horribly together.

What have you

got against Bob?

I'm Bob.

There can only be one Bob.

And speaking

ontologically,

there can only be

one everything.

Not three

everythings, not two.

There can only be one

everything in the end.

Now, there are

no everythings,

so why don't you go in

there and at least help him.

I certainly would be

delighted to help that

wonderful artist.

What am I

going to do now?

You know Susan,

you are my

favorite student

and I promise you

we'll sing all of your

favorite songs today.

How are you

feeling, mom?

Ah, listen, Maestro,

is there anything that I

could do to, you know, help?

You want to help?

Yes, I want to help.

Okay.

Well, I'm setting the

chairs up around Susan here

so why don't you help me

finish with these chairs?
