...while Roger has wasted no time in going out with an absolutely gorgeous woman... OH SHIT, that's Mona! Good Lord, Talia Balsam looks amazing. Anyway, they're in some upscale piano lounge with a view, and they've apparently gotten together because Mona's uncle Arnold died. "No one went to the funeral, but I knew you always liked him." Yes, I can somehow see Roger providing a contrarian viewpoint when it comes to in-laws. Roger good-naturedly asks if Margaret has "stopped dancing on Jane's grave," and Mona's answering chuckle rather obviates her response of, "She hardly hid her feelings." Roger notes that Mona didn't give in to such a tempting response, but Mona does playfully admit it's a little unsatisfying that Roger is in such a good mood. "I always thought she'd leave you." No offense, Mona, but I can't say I ever wanted to look closely enough to form an opinion either way. I understand, though, that you had little choice in the matter. Roger tells his ex-wife (and actual one in real life, in case I've never mentioned that one before) that he now thinks maybe Jane was just an excuse to blow up his life, and Mona, rather delighted even though she surely came to that revelation like two seconds after he broke the news he was leaving, asks if he's been seeing a shrink. In response, Roger loudly sings the praises of LSD in an all-too-believably evangelical way, and his babbling about euphoria and insight and how he now understands how other people think is enough to get Mona to wonder if maybe she should try it too.
