He just didn't like to see animals killed.

Well, who does?

But you know, bacon.

Bacon donuts.

Best invention ever.

Mm-hmm. (CHUCKLES)

Bye.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- I have not seen it.

- Oh, you haven't seen it? - No.

- Everybody's seen it.

- I am not... No.

(CHUCKLES) All right, so...

So, is he coming?

Uh, Isabel can work on him.

Right?

I can try.

I can't believe his class is almost over.

- I know.

- Hm?

You know, and next semester, he's teaching

lame Abrahamic

and Zoroastrian religions again.

There's nothing lame

about Abrahamic religions.

- Well, you know what I mean. It's just that...

- He needs some new classes.

He should do Hellenistic.

Uh, yeah, Zeus and Herakles and what-not.

That'd be cool.

Yeah, the only problem is he...

He only does real religions, Liko.

Huh! You don't think the Greeks

and Romans were on to anything?

Christians got half of their stuff

from the Pagans.

Or do you need to take

World of the Early Church again?

Guys, we need to focus on what's important.

Getting Professor Young to come to dinner.

There's just so much

in that guy's head I want to get at.

Me, too.

And... Well,

how do we get him to come?

I think Tara probably has a few ideas.

- Don't be gross, Liko.

- Leave her alone, man.

- You going to that Delta Psi party?

- Ugh. Those guys are animals.

Yeah.

(LOUDLY) Party animals.

(CHUCKLING)

Liko, what're you, five?

Um, no, I do not need to get

drunk on a Wednesday night.

Thank you.

With a bunch of boys.

Your loss. I'm going.

Saint Philip?

Uh, well, Saint Philip has

Bible study on Wednesdays.

You have no short-term memory, do you?

I don't know.

What was the question?

(LAUGHTER)

- John, I'm glad I caught you.

- Dr. Parker. Did we have an appointment?

I got to share this with somebody,

and you're the only one I

know that can appreciate it.

I got this at a garage sale last weekend.

It's a 75 year old bottle

of single-malt scotch.

Wow!

I paid entirely too much for it,

but the story...

This woman's husband brings it back

from Scotland in the sixties,

and they've been saving it

for a special occasion.

And saving it, and saving it...

And the special occasion never came.

- And he died a couple of months ago.

- Ooh.

Now she's selling his stuff

and moving to Costa Rica.

- Naturally.

- But here's the kicker:

we get home and we get a

message from Kitty and Ron.

The baby came.

I'm a grandfather.

Congratulations, Gill. Fantastic.

(CHUCKLES)

- Special occasion?

- Yes. Indeed.

(GIL SIGHS)

(BOTTLE CLATTERS)

- To my grandson.

- Hear, hear.

(MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND)

Oh, my...

- That is...

- Terrible.

I don't know if I've ever
