Kevin

Are you a homeowner, Greg?

Greg

No, no, I rent.

Kevin

Oh.

Jack

So, things are going real, real well for you, aren't they, eh, Kevo?
'Kevin: Gosh, things have been going so great lately. I got in early on some wireless I.P.O.s, and the stuff just skyrocketed from there.

Greg

Wow.

Kevin

What about you, Greg? What line of work are you in?

Greg

I'm in health care.

Kevin

Yeah, so you know what I'm talking about. There are a lot of Benjamins to be made now with biotech stuff. I don't have to tell you that. How's your portfolio?

Greg

I'd say strong...to quite strong.

Kevin

You gotta strike while the iron's hot. Now's the time.

Jack

Greg's a male nurse.

Greg

That's right. Thank you, Jack.

Kevin

Well, that's great. That's great to give something back like that. I'd love to find time to do volunteer work. Just the other day I saw this golden retriever that-- He had like a gimp, and he couldn't really-- It made me feel terrible. I wish there was something I could do.

Greg

Yeah, well, I get paid, but also it feels, you know, good too. So it's kind of an everybody wins. What are you-- You're like a Wall Street trader?

Kevin

An investment guy? No. I mean, I'm willing to be painted with that brush. Yes, that's my day job.

Greg

Wow! It looks like somebody got an "A" in wood shop.

Kevin

Yeah, it's always been kind of a hobby. I whittled that out of beech wood.

Greg

Huh. It's beautiful.

Kevin

Yeah.

Greg

So what got you into, uh, "carpentering"? Carpentry?

Kevin

I guess I'd have to say Jesus. He was a carpenter, and I just figured if you're gonna follow in someone's footsteps, who better than Christ?

Greg

Hmm.

Jack

Greg's Jewish.

Kevin

Are you?

Greg

Yeah.

Kevin

Mm-hmm. Well, so was J.C. Wow. You're in good company.

Pam

Wow. Kev.

Jack

Isn't that something?

Pam

That's incredible.

Kevin

Thank you.

Pam

Roses. Deb's favorite.

Kevin

Yes, right.

Pam

It's beautiful.

Jack

The little holes are for candles.

Kevin

Exactly. And then later, they'll collect rainfall. They make a tiny birdbath.

Pam

That's great.

Greg

It's beautiful. What is it?

Kevin

It's an altar. Or you might call it a "ho-puh."

Pam

Isn't that sweet? Wow.

Kevin

I'm gonna take it over to the Byrneses', and tomorrow Robert and Debra will meet beneath it to become man and wife. And later, when they purchase a home, maybe it will grace their garden. Well, that's my sappy, romantic idea. [Chuckles]

Pam

Must have taken forever to build.

Kevin

No, not too bad. About 18 hours. Which isn't bad, considering I carved it all by hand from one piece of wood.

Kevin

There he is. Okay, G-Man, we've got swordfish and we've got salmon, what'll it be?

Greg

How 'bout a little of both, K-Dog, I'm pretty hungry.

Jack

I think they call that the 'munchies'.

Pam

Whoo! Nice shot, Maverick!

Kevin

Sweet setup, Iceman.

Denny
[sarcastically]

Nice one, Nurse.

Larry

Glenn, Glenn, Glenn. You gotta rush the net on defense. Don't be afraid of the ball.

Greg

It's Greg.

Jack

Huddle up, team. Come on. This is unacceptable.

Bob

He's gotta go for the ball.

Jack

Here's what we gotta do.

Bob

Let's go! We're gettin' cold in here.

Larry

We're gettin' creamed. If Florence Nightingale over here would play defense.

Greg

Larry, I missed one shot.

Larry

It was a big shot.

Jack

Larry, keep floatin' where you are. You're doin' great. Denny, take the deep shots. Greg, nobody's expecting much out of you. If I set you up with the ball, can you jump up and spike it?

Denny

No.

Greg

Yeah. I'd have to be pretty high, but yeah.

Jack

I bet you would, Panama Red.
