...on the connection between geographic
isolation and rapid mutagenesis.

I wrote that in one night.

Twenty bucks says they're married
within the month.

Well, we should probably get going.

We've got a lot of ground to cover.

Isn't another professor
supposed to come with us?

I don't think so.

I'm pretty sure.
A Professor Spafford from Cornell?

Well, he's obviously late,
and the rule in my class is:

If you can't come on time,
then don't come at all.

An option that many of my students use.

- Shall we?
- We shouldn't wait for him?

You know what, he's a big boy.
I'm sure he'll find us, okay?

- Professor Geller?
- Oh, damn it!

[MACHINE BEEPS]

JAN [ON MACHINE]: Hi, it's Jan Rogers.
Can't wait for your party tonight.

Listen, I forgot your address.
Can you give me a call? Thanks. Bye.

- Hey!
- Hey!

What's happening?

It's a real shame you can't make it
to that one-woman show tonight.

I'd love to, but I gotta get up
so early the next day.

- You know me, work comes first.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.

[MACHINE BEEPS]

JAN: Hi, it's Jan Rogers.
Can't wait for your party tonight.

Stupid Jan Rogers!

You are having a party tonight?

I'm kind of having a thing
for the Days of our Lives people.

You weren't gonna tell us?

How did you think
you'd get away with that?

I do it every year.

You do that every year?!

I didn't have to tell you that!

God, I'm stupider than Jan Rogers!

That's why you got us tickets
to that play, to get rid of us!

Yeah.

Last year is that why you sent us
to that Medieval Times restaurant?

Yeah.

The year before that, you set up that
nighttime tour of that button factory?

I can't believe you guys went
for that one.

Why wouldn't you invite us
to your parties?

You're fine, okay? But everyone else acts
like an idiot around famous people.

Well, then, so just invite me.

Please, I was trying to be nice.
You're the worst one.

Joey, come on! Please, please?
Let me come. I will behave. I promise.

- I will behave. Please, please, please.
- Okay, fine. You can come.

But don't tell anybody else.
It's up on the roof at 8.

A soap-opera roof party?!

I'm going to a soap-opera roof party!
Uh, my God! Oh, my God!

And it's out of my system.

And then my wife and I went
on a cruise to the Galépagos.

There was a seafood buffet
you wouldn't believe.

There were clams and mussels
and oysters...

...and cracked crab...

...and snow crab...

...and king crab.

It's a pity I'm allergic to shellfish.

So where did you get
your undergraduate degree?

- And that's not all I'm allergic to.
- Oh, it's not over.

I'm also allergic to peanuts
and cashews...

...and almonds and filberts --

So basically all nuts!

Interestingly, no.

You're kind of playing it fast and loose
with the word "interesting."

If you'll excuse me,
I'm going to use the restroom.

Qh, my God!

I've lost the will to live.

- Let's ditch him.
- What?

While he's still in the bathroom.
I am begging you.

Okay. Okay, fine,
but I just have one question for you.

When we exit, should we walk or run...

...or prance or stroll --?

Stop it! Stop it! He talks slow,
but he might pee fast. Okay, let's move!

Oh, hey, you guys, this is Charlie.

Charlie, this is Phoebe
and my sister, Monica.

PHOEBE & MONICA: Hi.
- Charlie will be joining my department.

- You're a paleontologist too?
- Yeah.

Oh, okay. Now, what do you think...

...of Renyard's new theory of species
variegation in segmented arthropods?

I think he's a little out there,
but he does have some interesting ideas.
