• Mike Brady : [Mike and Greg enter his den]  Greg, I want to talk to you.

  Greg Brady : Yes, sir?

  Mike Brady : It's about Raquel.

  Greg Brady : [shocked]  Raquel?

  Mike Brady : Never mind how I found out about it. The point is, she's in your room, isn't she?

  Greg Brady : [guiltily]  Yes, sir.

  Mike Brady : Oh, Greg. Your mother and I never questioned your right to privacy, but, I mean, this is carrying things a little too far. Why did you do that?

  Greg Brady : I figured I could sneak Raquel in last night and get her out without anyone finding out.

  Mike Brady : [shocked]  You mean she's been here all night?

  Greg Brady : Dad, I was stuck. There was no place else I could take her!

  Mike Brady : [exasperated]  Oh... I am trying very hard to be understanding and I'm losing.

  Greg Brady : Okay, Dad. I should have never got mixed up with a beast like that.

  Mike Brady : Son, that is a dreadful thing to say about a girl, no matter what she looks like.

  Greg Brady : A girl? Dad, I think we may have a communication gap going here. Raquel is a goat. As in nanny.

  [Mike looks confused] 

  Greg Brady : You know?

  [bleats like a goat] 

  Mike Brady : A goat? You mean, a goat goat?

  Greg Brady : [laughing]  Yeah. You mean, you thought I...?

  Mike Brady : [starts chuckling]  Sure did, I...

  Greg Brady : [laughing]  Oh, no...

  Mike Brady : [laughs]  Well, why didn't you say so in the first place?

  Greg Brady : [laughing]  Well, you sounded like you knew.

  Mike Brady : [turns serious]  The next question is, why are you running a motel for goats?

  Greg Brady : [nervously]  Well, it's a special goat. She's Coolidge High's mascot.

  Mike Brady : [shocked, but amused]  You didn't... did you?

  [chuckles slightly and sits down next to Greg] 

  Mike Brady : Yeah, well. Oh. Well, that wasn't the brightest move in the world, son.

  Greg Brady : You said you did the same thing in school.

  Mike Brady : But I didn't say it wasn't stupid. I also said it was wrong and if you want to know how wrong, you wait'll your mother finds out!

  Greg Brady : Does she have to know?

  Mike Brady : Greg, you have got to return Raquel, no way out.

  Greg Brady : I know, but couldn't I do it slowly, like after the game tonight?

  Mike Brady : No. Look, son...

  Greg Brady : Dad, I'm in such a bind! If the guys find out, they'll kill me! It's just for a couple hours!

  Mike Brady : [sighs wearily]  Well, okay. But just until after the game tonight.

  Greg Brady : [happily]  Hey, thanks, Dad. You're terrific.

  [leaves the den] 

  Mike Brady : [to himself]  And if your mother *does* find out, you and I and Raquel may be roommates.
