And in case you care, it's lilacs.

Finally here says OK thats it and grabs an upright bass from the closet and begins playing a jazz solo.
After a while the husband makes a snide remark about this to his wife and she snickers. Then he makes another joke and she laughs.
Pretty soon they're talking openly sorting out all their problems, and even starting to have feelings for each other again.
The therapist stops playing the bass and says Very good.
The husband asks, What the heck was that all about?
The therapist replies, Everyone talks during a bass solo.
