[Cut to the exterior of a diner named Mama Joy's. Then to the interior where a waiter is clearing up a table. Dr. Brown sits at the counter, talking with Nina who apparently works there because she's wearing the same type of clothing as the waiter, she's behind the counter, and putting food in a bag for Dr. Brown. In the background, there's a group of women sitting all at the same table with Brenda Baxworth and Edna Harper among them. They tend to get more impatient the more Dr. Brown talks with Nina, delaying his departure.]
DR. BROWN: You know, you'd really need take a squeggee to these menus at some point. That or serve them as an appetizer.
NINA: I'll take that under advisement, Andy.
DR. BROWN: Is it too late to change baked to potatoes? I don't know how many nights in a row you can serve your kids French Fries without crossing over into that "bad parent" zone.
NINA: No problem. [calling out] Three bakers on the fly!
DR. BROWN: Where's the kitchen? Pittsburgh?
NINA: Simon only hears out of his left ear.
DR. BROWN: What's the matter with his right one?
NINA: He doesn't have a right one.
DR. BROWN: You know, just think. A year ago, I was sitting, cruising the menu at the Surf and now, I'm waiting for three Blue Star Roast Beef specials cooked by One Eared Simon.
[In the background, Brenda looks at her watch.]
NINA: Ah, I'd find humor in that but I'm 8 and a half months pregnant so I only laugh at things when I'm lying down.
DR. BROWN: Which if you should be, you'd look like you're ready to deliver any day now. What's the matter? Mama Joy won't give you the time off?
NINA: Well, she's not really in the position to. She's been dead for twenty years.
DR. BROWN: Well, it doesn't hurt to ask.
NINA: Mama Joy's actually owned and operated by Mama Joy's nephew, Art.
DR. BROWN: Oh. So actually Mama Joy is Aunt Joy.
NINA: And, Aunt Joy is actually Gertrude Schmaltz but nobody found that appetizing.
[The waiter from before gives Nina a brown paper bag with the baked potatoes and then Nina hands the food over to Dr. Brown.]
DR. BROWN: [standing up, ready to pay] On second thought, maybe I'll go with a different side. Is there anything else besides baked or fried?
[Edna has walked up to the counter by this point and she mashes the paper bag. Dr. Brown and Nina stand there, in shock.]
EDNA: Yes, there is. Mashed. Now, get outta here. Your kids are starving.
[Brenda has walked to the counter as well and stands behind Dr. Brown.]
DR. BROWN: Edna, why did you do that?
BRENDA: Oh, forget it. He'll just gonna have to be a part of this.
[Brenda walks over to the door and closes the blinds and flips the "We're Open" sign to "We're Closed."]
BRENDA: [cont'd.] Nina Feeney, this is your first official baby shower. Surprise!
ALL OTHER WOMEN: [simultaneously with Brenda, bringing out the presents] Surprise!
BRENDA: Oh, bless your heart.
[Brenda hugs Nina.]
BRENDA: [cont'd.] You really didn't know?
[Brenda ushers Nina over to a chair and forces her to plop down.]
NINA: Oh, you shouldn't have.
EDNA: That's what I told them but just try to make the best of it.
[The women start handing Nina the presents.]
NINA: No, I can't accept these gifts.
BRENDA: Oh, don't worry. They're not for you. They're for the baby!
NINA: [getting up] This is not my baby.
[Dr. Brown stops in his tracks. Brenda tries to laugh it off.]
