"Hello?" Dean asks as he walks through the door.

"Do you come bearing pizza?" Mom questions him

"I'm not an idiot." He replies

"Then get in here." Mom commands

"Hey." We greet

"Hey."

"Sit. You're missing it." Mom tells him

"What are we watching?" He asks

"The incomparable 'Donna Reed show.'"

"What's in there?" Rory questions Dean

"A salad." He responds

"A salad?"

"It's a quaint dish sometimes used to proceed large quantities of pizza." He jokes and we look at him with a serious tone. "It's for me."

"Clearly." I say

"So, who's Donna Reed?" He asks us

"What?" Rory says in disbelief

"You don't know who donna Reed is?" I questions

"The quintessential 50s mom with the perfect family?" Mom continues

"Never without a smile and high heels?"

"Hair that hard, if you hit it with a hammer, would crack?" I continue even more

"So...it's a show?" Dean asks

"It's a lifestyle." Rory states

"It's a religion." I say

"My favourite episode..." Rory starts

"Mmm, tell me, tell me." Mom pleads

"...is when their son, Jeff, come home from school, and nothing happens." Rory explains

"Oh, that's a good one." Mom says

"One of my favourites is when Mary, the daughter, gets a part time job, and nothing happens." Mom states

"Another classic." I say, I don't really have a favourite episode.

"So...what's this one about?"

"This one is actually quite filled with intrigue. The husband, Alex, comes home late for dinner, and he didn't call." I explain

"Might as well kick the dog too."

"Oh, look. She is making donuts." Mom points out. "Not that my sugary attitude wouldn't make anyone an ist and diabetic." Mom states the script.

"A mother-daughters window washing, we should try that." Rory suggests

"Yeah, right after Mother-daughters shock treatments." Mom says. "You know daughter, there's nothing more satisfying than washing the windows, oh no." She says, saying the script.

"What? Did I miss a spot?" Rory asks

"No, I just had an impure thought about your father. Alex, funny, I don't know why I had it. It isn't the second Saturday of the month." Mom continues

"I heard you had an impure thought about me." I say in a deep voice, joining in.

"I must now sublimate all my impure thoughts by going into the Kitchen and making an endless string of perfect casseroles" mom says

"You're not even listening to the dialogue." Dean points out.

"Ours is better." Rory tells him

"I don't know. It all seems kind of nice."
