[ door closes ] well, mind, this is just like any room on earth -- there's lots of rooms i've seen on earth with "floor" paper and "wall" rugs... ceiling chairs. oh, mork... it looks like it was decorated by fools-r-us! oh, mind, how could they do this to me? too much coffee, tom? mork, it's all right. it is? no, but you're distraught. we'll talk about it later. oh, mind, i just wanted our honeymoon to be something very, very special. oh, i know. look, the important thing is that we're together, and it is our honeymoon. in the dictionary, it says "compassionate -- see you." [ laughs ] i love you, mork. i love you, mind. [ dong ding ] dong ding? dong ding? they can even screw up a doorbell. maybe it's the bellhops with our luggage. do you tip bellhops here on ork? no, they're robots -- if you tip them, they can't get back on their feet. surprise! surprise! oh, gosh, mind! it's the peevee clones, six and seven! nice to meet you. whatever that is. ha ha ha! ha ha ha! we heard you were back and could hardly wait to get up here. six thought it would be funny if we brought in your luggage. we had to tip the robot. he's still out there. yeah, he's out there, his little feet just flailing away. oh, mind, the clones and i, we go way back. we used to sneak into the school bathroom and tell, like, jokes. well, you know, i got caught for being funny and that's why i was sent to earth. ar ar ar! wait till you hear our latest orson joke. this is really going to short your circuits. okay, watch those sides. here it goes. orson is a big... fatso! fatso! ha ha ha! ha ha ha! i can see why you were the only one caught. come on, six, we might as well make ourselves at home. might as well. we got a lot of catching up for mork to do. hey, mork, your human friend how many earthlings does it take to screw in a light bulb? i don't know. how many earthlings does it take to screw in a light bulb? one! one! ha ha ha ha! ha ha ha ha! [ sighs ] well...they're gone, mind. that didn't hang on as long as the peevee clones. i thought they'd take the hint when we put on our nightgowns. i thought they'd take the hint when we told them to get out, especially after they referred to me as your "creature." well... i guess we're alone now. i guess so. [ chuckles ] [ giggles ] t way. on our honeymoon night. yep. sure is dark. sure is. well, it's our wedding night. i better not put this off any longer, huh? i guess not. ? bette davis eyes ?

[ normal voice ] i can't, mind. [ southern accent ] he can't! you knew it was me all along, didn't you? i'm psychic. well, i wasn't really running away. i just like to hyperventilate alone. you know, mork, i think i realize for the first time how you must feel on earth. i don't know how you cope. i've got you to take care of me. oh...i haven't told you this, but, you know, i think ork is really a lovely planet. the three moons are very romantic. mm-hmm. and this garden -- it's beautiful. these flowers almost look exactly like earth roses. they should look exactly like earth roses -- i've been sending them here for three years now. i wanted to share a little bit of earth's beauty with ork. that's so nice. they're not as beautiful as you are, though. oh, thanks. now, you want to tell me what's bothering you? i'm scared. oh, mork... come over here. oh, mork, everyone's scared of getting married. it's a new experience. it's a normal emotion. sure. oh, mork, just think -- someday we might have children, and i'm scared to death of that. but i know you'll be there to help me get through it. see, the really wonderful thing about marriage is you have a friend who loves you and a partner who helps you through the rough times. [ stem snaps, siren wails ] uh-oh. trouble, mind. picking that rose would be the same on earth as if you plucked one of brooke shields' eyebrows. back in the room again. looks that way. looks that way. well, back in the room again. sounds like a willie nelson song. wanna watch a little tv, min? "orson knows best" is on. you know, mork, until today to be a stranger on a strange planet. but as bizarre and as scary as ork has been to me at least i've been here with you.

[ with lisp ] "oh, what a rogue and peasant slave am i." interesting. we're gonna get all dressed up, and we're gonna go out and do something we've never done before. [ normal voice ] you put on your prom dress, and i'll put on my mr. peanut outfit. then we can have a candid, sober discussion about family. i want to go out and do something romantic. i know -- let's go out and make angels in the snow like they did in "love story." the really sad thing about that movie was that she became an angel before she ever had a family. you know what's making a big, romantic comeback? the family unit. hammond family -- all nine of them. let's just go out, you and me. i mean, we're young, we're in love, we're newlyweds. maybe we should have a little t?te-?-t?te, and then sit down and talk. what's wrong with going out and just having some good, old-fashioned fun? we could talk in latin if you want. [ speaks latin ] min, how can we lead such frivolous lives when you consider what's going on trouble in el salvador, cruise missiles... ...bad line calls against john mcenroe, and the family. why do you keep bringing up family? i'd like to have one, min. right now. oh. look, mork, i want to have a family someday just as badly as you do. but a family's something you plan for. we're just starting out. we're not ready, emotionally or financially. and yours -- well, this is america. if we had a baby right now, it wouldn't be fair to the child. maybe down the road a bit. let's just go out and have a good time. you don't understand. time is of the essence. pakistan has the bomb, and all they have to do is roll it down the hill. mork, we just got married. it's the time for the two of us. so let's just work on that awhile, all right? i'm gonna go get changed, and then maybe go for a sleigh ride. and then maybe come home and thaw each other out. there's got to be some way we can get you and mindy together. too bad it's not easter, huh? mindy: mork, do you know what time it is? min, i swear i heard somebody. i didn't hear anything.

"i've left my child because i know you'll take good care of it." "you're good, kind, understanding people -- especially you, mindy." let's see. it's about 2:30 a.m. yeah, i think that's a good time for an explanation. all right, mind. um, this is merely conjecture, of boston by her w.a.s.p. parents. [ snobbishly ] muffy, tad and i believe that you have to leave, but we've packed you a few shirts and your penny loafers. [ normal voice ] she wanders around, selling her own hair and a few springsteen tickets to raise enough money to buy milk for her child. the truth. you want the truth? i'll give you the truth -- v?rit?. in your hand, you are holding our child. okay. that's enough for tonight. this thing's going back in the refrigerator. min, min, min, min! the world is cold enough as it is. daddy didn't mean that. this would be one of your better jokes, except men don't have babies, and they can't lay eggs. min, min, min, you know that i am a test tube child without a navel. let me show you here. what's that? see, mind? what?! wait a minute! well, you me-- no -- you mean -- you mean you and i -- when -- and i -- and then you -- and here it is?! you should work for reader's digest, min. no! no, no, no, no, no. no. no. oh, no. i have to sit down. oh, no. all right. assuming that i am not dreaming and that is our child, what is that gonna be?! i don't know, min. but he's gonna have his own affirmative action program. i don't think there is anything that has happened to me in my life that is our child. not even "the twilight zone"s i've watched. min, you told me it wasn't the right time, so i tried to find other parents for it. and then i realized, the best parents in the whole world would be you and i. min, we love this. can we keep him, hmm? can we, min, hmm? can we, hmm? well, of course we'll keep it, mork. i'd love anything you and i made together. min, you weren't too crazy about that bookcase. that was different. min, at last we have someone we can cherish and have someone to contest our will and someone we can put medication out of reach of. min, is something wrong? why would you say that? i've never seen anyone grit their back before. yo! there we go. no, everything's great. saying she doesn't spend a lot of money on new dishes. i don't know, mork. it's just that i had this insane idea that when you and i decided to plan a family, i would be the one who had the baby. i don't know... maybe i -- i looked forward to knowing there was a baby inside and craving strange foods and getting fat and not being able to see my feet. just because you're not the mother doesn't mean it doesn't need your love. i know, mork. oh, min. come on. you're going to be the prettiest, softest father a kid ever had. thanks. i-i-i just need some time to get used to this. it's just...pretty strange. min... i think you better hurry, min... athlete on steroids.

[ gasps ] amazing, with a little love, how much you can grow. what is in that egg?! i don't know, min, but i hope it's healthy. when do you think it's going to arrive? in about 24 hours. [ gasps ] 24 hours! elephants get two years! i get 24 hours?! it takes longer than that to get peking duck. [ thud ] boy, he can sure kick, mind. are you related to bruce lee? i guess there's not much for me to do with this birth. come on, min. you've got to be a parent, too. now, come over here and touch it. just pat it. put your arms around it. have you hugged your egg today? oh, mork, i feel silly. come on, come on, come on. it's nice and warm. it should be. i sat on it all night. i can hear a heartbeat. why don't you talk to it? you talk to your plants, including that little wandering jew. [ yiddish accent ] where are we today? i don't know. [ normal voice ] come on. mother -- uh, your father -- one of your parents. i feel like shari lewis without lambchop. isn't it wonderful? we're parents now. we get to say things like, "don't put that in your mouth! you don't know where it's been!" that's true. have you thought of a name yet? well, yeah. i'd kind of like to name it beth, after my mother... if it's a girl... and it doesn't have wings. certain sentimental attachment to a name if it's a boy. what's that? rodan. no, i don't think so. a little too ethnic? how about jennifer or maybe mustaffah joaquim? how are we going to explain to people that you laid an egg? and that we hatched a baby? and only after one month of marriage? federales! federales! shh! who is it? bickley: a sad and desperate man. oh, no, it's mr. bickley! uh, we'll be right there. we're not decent. i don't want to see you, i want to talk to you. what do we do? the bedroom! we have company, min. i meant the egg! i was just trying to give a little comic relief to these moments of tension. easy, easy. gently, gently. uh, we'll be right there. be careful! ohh! uh-oh! oh, no! why do i feel like we're at a company picnic on saturn?

[ egg crackling ] rice krispies. hi, bick. it all started when i met darinda at a club med luau. she told me she loved me. [ crackling ] what -- what is that noise? oh, i'm just listening to my "exorcist" soundtrack. little linda's head is just starting to spin around. min, can you give me a little moral support, maybe a ball-peen hammer? what's going on that's more important than me? no! you don't want to go in there! oh, you're right. everything does. i'll never be able to look at my family album or eat suckling pig again. mr. bickley, you've got to know that those gray skies are gonna clear up, so put on a happy face. and remember, there's always more fish in the sea. mindy, i don't want to upset you, boy, is mork going to be upset. his pet condor got away. why do i come here? it's going to happen. you don't want to miss this like you did beverly sills at marineland. this is it, mind. isn't it much nicer having the baby at home rather than in a hospital? it's important that we don't panic. and if we panic, it's important we're not loud. [ crackling ] i hope it's healthy. i hope it doesn't eat the bedroom set. [ gasps ] i love you, min. i love you, too, mork. morning, sweetheart. hi. still in love with that coat? what coat? it's been open to that same page for the last three days. oh, that's the center page. it opens there naturally. mm-hmm. how long for the pancakes? oh, just a few minutes. well... i'll finish getting dressed. ooh.
