Alone Again... Naturally

Episode Number: 75    Season Num: 4    First Aired: Wednesday January 8, 1997    Prod Code: C376
Ellen makes a New Year’s resolution - to start doing things alone, and feel comfortable with it. She decides to go to a very exclusive romantic Italian restaurant. There, she becomes a spectacle, so she escapes to the bathroom. She feels much more comfortable in the bathroom talking to Ruby, the bathroom assistant. Then she takes a pottery class, alone. She ends up replaying a scene from "Ghost" while singing "Unchained Melody." She goes back to talk with Ruby, and brings her the tip jar she made. Ellen realizes she is comfortable just the way she is. Meanwhile, Paige s trying to talk to Bob Saget, who has gone over budget on his latest film. So, Spence and Joe house-sit for Paige, but set the whole kitchen on fire.

Quotes

Ruby: I got three kids and let me tell you what I tell them. When you finally stop runnin' around, chasin' after your own tail, that's when you'll see that big bone that you been lookin' for the whole time. Well, alright, that's not what I tell my kids, that's what I tell my dog, but you get my point.
Ellen: I get your point, that is so true. Except for the bone part. I'm a vegetarian. (edit)
