Mr. Harris: Mike, it's a terrible thing, separation-- I hope you never have to face it... Zonker: Oh, dad, come off it! You've been through this a dozen times before! You know mom just needs time to be by herself once and awhile! And she always comes back within a week, right, dad? She always comes back just in time to water the begonias before they dry out! Mr. Harris: See, when I'm upset, I forget the plants. Zonker: And mom's beautiful-- she knows that!
