Mojavr flew his mother in from Iran to do the cooking. The exotic ambiance that her food lends to Hemispheres is unfortunately a bit chopped by the Hit Parade music that Mojavr plays.

Someone tells Benny that cooking is just like life. "Cooking's not like life," he snaps. "If you get a bad meal, you don't have to eat it." The corrupt union leader is mod.
