At Billie's Place in San Francisco

Cody wants Dulouz to meet a woman named Billie. Billie is actually Cody's girlfriend, but Cody won't leave his wife for Billie, and in any case he always gets a kick out of sharing his women with his male friends. Dulouz and Billie hit it off immediately and are making love within hours, but there's one problem : Billie has a little boy, Elliot. Elliot takes one look at Dulouz and, with that uncanny perceptiveness some kids have, realizes that Dulouz is not going to work out as a father figure. Billie doesn't seem quite as perceptive, and she and Dulouz start talking about marriage. Dulouz , with all the paternal instincts of a sack of shit, proposes to send little Elliot to stay with his mother in Lowell. Things don't look too promising, although little Elliot seems to be the only one who realizes this.

To test their ability to live together, Dulouz decides to take Billie and Elliot back to Big Sur with him for a week. He invites Dave Wain, who will bring along his girlfriend Ramona Swartz (in real life, Lenore Kandel, later a famous psychedelic-Sixties-scene poet).
