06x07 - Love to Take You Home

[bunniefuu]

Hello, Joshua.

Hello, father.

Don't run away from this.

You're the one who's running away.

[engine revving]

How can you not love Mack?

-What we had was not love. -You had me.

You will leave your job,

you will leave this place, and you will come home with me!

I know when you're being stubborn

because you know you're wrong.

I'm not wrong.

You blew it this time

because it's cost you Mack.

[theme music playing]

The section of woods where the oaks were their tallest

was the boy's favorite place.

He would climb as high as the limbs

would carry his weight...

and place himself safely in those lofty wooden arms.

From so high he could see everything.

He could see the fields

where the deer crossed to Little's Pond.

He could see the apple orchard

where the pastor read the scriptures in the shade.

He could see all the way south to the edge of town

and he could see all the way north past the farms

and broken fences...

to the house with the red roof high on the hill.

[Reverend] That was her house.

The girl he only knew by her shocking blue eyes .

And when she walked below him,

he would purposely clear his throat.

He did this every time, mind you.

So she was used to it by now.

It's almost over.

[Reverend] She would continue on until he would be forced

to clear his throat again,

this time much more loudly.

Some days she would force him

to clear his throat three or four times...

but she always stopped and they always talked.

-Mama... -Huh.

I'm going to be gone for a couple of hours.

Uh-huh.

-Joshua go to work already? -Yes.

-Okay. Bye-bye, mama. -Bye-bye.

[soft music continue]

Are you okay?

Yes. It's nothing. Nothing.

Okay. Bye-bye.

[scooter engine revving]

Hi.

Hi.

[Cathy] You're late.

They told me you'd be here half an hour ago, that's all.

You, you've been waiting here all this time?

Yeah, but that's okay.

I packed a lunch, sort of a picnic thing.

Oh, I don't, I don't think so, because like you said, I'm late.

Joshua.

-Why are you avoiding me? -I'm not avoiding you.

Did the other night embarrass you?

[Cathy] Did I?

Cathy, you just don't understand.

No, I don't understand.

-What's wrong with us? -Nothing.

Everything.

Look, why don't you come over for dinner tonight, okay?

Okay.

[Karen] Eric!

Hold it right there.

Eric, you're not listening to me.

Eric!

Honey, look, I don't want to side.

[car engine cranking]

-Eric! -Argh, I hate this car!

Please.

Honey, look, look, just stop what you're doing

-a-and listen to me. -I don't wanna listen to you.

Stop what you're doing and fight with me then.

I don't want to fight with you either.

Will you try it?

Honey, look, let's... let's just go back in the house and talk.

-We can sit down and-- -Try it, come on.

-We can sit down and fight. -[car engine cranking]

-Wait, we both... -God, I hate this car!

Can't you just try to understand me?

I don't want to understand you.

I've heard this all a hundred times before.

We've been through tougher situations

and we'll get through this one too.

-Try it again. -Honey...

[car engine starts]

Eric.

I don't want to go through this together.

Come on, get out of there.

Eric, don't run away from this.

You're the one who's running away.

-[car engine revving] -[gloomy music playing]

Are you that mad at me too?

No. But I am mad.

How can you not love Mack?

Will you relax?

Tom, take it easy, will you?

You're letting this Gary Loader thing gives you an ulcer.

[knocking on door]

T.J., Tom.

Yeah, Tom.

Will you just calm down, relax?

It'll all work out, believe me.

I'm on my way in. Just sit tight.

Tom.

This guy.

Takes his work home with him.

My assistant.

-Can I come in? -Yeah, I'm sorry. Come on in.

I'm going to put on a pot of coffee.

-Can I get you a cup? -No, no, I'm... I'm fine.

-Are you sure? -Yeah, yeah.

Thanks, thanks, Mack. Mack, I, I...

I don't want to feel a little strange

about coming here, but...

I don't even know where my head is.

-You want to sit down? -No, no.

-Have a seat. -Mack, I'm okay.

Look, I, uh...

I just feel real bad about this and I...

But I've been asked to serve you with these divorce papers.

Mack, I'm real sorry.

[Carol] Yes, um, I'll have to get back to you.

-Can you hold, please? -[telephone ringing]

Thank you, thank you.

Greg, rather than ask you ten more times,

I've listed the top contenders for the property tax

to just draw a line through all but three of them.

[woman] Oh, yes.

City Hall is giving me a headache.

Will you or won't you have dinner with the mayor?

-Maybe, I don't know. -Hey!

Hey, wait! Hey, stop that messenger!

I don't think I can do... Carol. Carol, I need a hand here.

-Hey, stop that messenger! -[Greg] Carol.

Stop that messenger! Billy!

[phone rings]

Catch that messenger. Your life depends on it.

[woman] Yes, okay. Thank you. Bye.

Oh, oh. Carol, Carol, wait. The mayor's on.

I just can't. Talk to me, Carol. Talk to me.

One moment, please.

You might as well have dinner with the mayor.

I want to have dinner with my wife.

-I can't find her. -Why not?

What kind of a question is that?

They hung up and called back.

This is Carol. May I help you?

Oh, the senator would love to have dinner with his honor.

However, tonight is out of the question.

Yes. Yes, it's family night.

Yes, certainly.

-Uh, Senator Sumner. -Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

[phone rings]

The most important thing is to keep an eye

on the way he votes.

I'm not a watchdog. I'm a lobbyist.

You'll be both.

Why watch the way he votes when I can persuade him

to vote any way you want?

[ominous music playing]

Because we spend too much money that way.

If you want him to vote on something badly enough,

you'll spend the money.

[sighs] That's just the point. I don't care how he votes.

I just want to know far enough in advance

so I can invest the smart way.

That's very conservative.

[sighs] Well, that's the way I want to start out.

[Scott] Well, we'll be bothering him less.

Right.

Save our best shot for the big issue.

Right.

I didn't picture her a blonde.

[sighs]

She could be telling him right now.

I am so angry with myself.

-But Gary, it is not your fault. -It's my fault.

Let's at least not argue about that.

Okay, but it was my idea.

Me playing Cupid. Go ahead, Karen, divorce him.

I dare you.

You know that Mack is going to get angry and fight back.

Val, this isn't a romantic novel.

We can just tell him to get angry and fight back.

Can we just leave bad enough alone?

[Val] I know Karen still loves him.

I just know that.

I know it.

You always need a happy ending, don't you?

Yeah, I do.

I do.

-No. -What do you mean, no?

Think of all the good we can do.

No.

Listen, you know how many people think

they're going to Washington with me?

People I don't even know.

Guys who gave a nickel to this campaign

think I owe them a special favor.

Well, I want my own guy there.

I'm not your guy.

Sure you are. You're my guy.

You're someone I can trust.

Oh, trust me.

You are. You're someone that...

keeps me honest, okay?

Listen to yourself, will you?

No, you listen to me. We could be great together.

Let me tell you something.

You know, when you first asked me to join your team,

I thought it was the biggest thrill of my life.

You were my hero.

I'd do anything for you, and you knew it.

Anything.

Your team was like making the Olympics,

playing in the Super Bowl.

It was the best.

It was the big time, and it stunk.

We stink. We will never be great.

Oh, that's not true. We'll be great together.

Listen, we'll start all over. We'll make this day one.

How can I start over again without my hero?

-I don't want to be your hero. -[Mack] You got to be.

Because before I do anything else,

I got to love you again.

[mellow music playing]

-Hi. -[Cathy] Hi.

-You hungry? -I ate the whole picnic.

-Everything? -[laughs] Yes.

Some people shop when they're frustrated,

and others eat.

Does that mean that you don't want any dinner?

Uh-uh. [laughs]

Does that mean that you're still...

-Frustrated? -Yes.

Mm-hmm. [chuckles] Go on.

[mellow music continues]

Mother, I, uh, I asked Cathy to have dinner with us,

if that's all right.

[mellow music fades]

Hello, Joshua.

Hello, father.

And we thank you, Lord, for this bountiful meal. Amen.

[all] Amen.

-It's just delicious, mama. -Yeah?

-Yes, it's delicious. Very good. -Mm, mm.

What kind of music do you sing?

Um, pop and rock and roll.

She has a wonderful voice, father.

[Jonathan] Do you sing hymns?

-Church hymns? -Church hymns.

Um, no, I don't think Isadora would like that.

Is Isadora someone you know?

She, um, she owns the, the club that I sing in.

Your mother used to sing. She...

started as sort of a choir.

Can you recall that, Lilimae?

[Lilimae] Well...

[sighs]

I'm afraid I was awful.

-Mama, you don't have to... -[Jonathan] She was.

[Val] How can you say that?

You two don't look at all alike.

Well, I, uh, I... I think that there are some resemblances.

I meant between you and Joshua.

-[doorbell rings] -I'll get it.

[clears throat]

Mama, would you pass pepper, please?

Mm-hmm.

-That's enough for that stuff. -Oh.

I won't be able to roll you around on the floor.

Roast beef, it's my favorite.

Yeah, Mack, I'd like you to meet Joshua's father.

This is Jonathan J. Rush.

-[Mack] Oh, hi, how are you? -Mack MacKenzie.

Nice to meet you. Hi, Cathy.

I was beginning to think you didn't have a husband.

[Mack] Oh, not a chance.

No, he's, uh, he's just my very good friend.

He's gonna be my labor coach.

-The babies. -The babies.

-[Mack] Let's go. -[Val] Uh-huh, okay.

-[Mack] Nice seeing you all. -You too, ma'am.

-[Val] I'll see you later, Mama. -Mm-hmm.

-Bye-bye. -Bye.

Bye-bye.

-You need shoes. -I've got my shoes out here.

Maybe I should get rid of some of these dishes here.

I-I'll help you.

Oh, well, you want to bring some coffee?

[Cathy] Mm.

She takes after you.

Why did you fire Taylor Naughton?

Because he released the Caulfield story.

-You told him to do it. -Sure.

But that didn't mean he should've.

You're kidding.

Guy's got no integrity.

He is harmless.

-He's history. -[Karen] Good night.

Karen, call it a night. She works so hard.

Good night, Ben.

[crickets chirping]

[sighs]

How's it going?

Okay.

How's Mack?

How do you mean?

I filed for divorce today,

and I was just wondering if you had seen him.

No.

No.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I just feel like I'm losing two good friends,

and I don't want to.

I'd still want to be your friend.

[Karen] I know that'd be a little difficult.

Being your friend isn't difficult.

[soft music playing]

Do me a favor.

Don't ever stop being Mack's friend.

[laughs]

I think you can count on that.

Mack would beat me up if I wasn't.

[soft music playing]

I'm hungry. What do you hear

about the restaurant in this place?

The seafood's great.

[Greg] I don't want to bite the hand that feeds me,

but why have you done this?

[Laura] I owed you one.

[Greg] Dinner?

Vote.

-You voted for Caulfield? -Mm-hmm.

You dirty dog.

I voted to keep you in California.

You surprise me.

No, I don't. I don't surprise you.

I surprise myself.

Come to Washington with me.

For what? [chuckles] Hm?

For the same thing we're doing here.

Oh, eating chicken? Oh, that's exciting.

-I'm serious. -[laughs]

Look, well, I have just been offered a job to work

on acquisition of water rights for Lotus Point.

All the more reason you should come with me.

Is there water in Washington?

There's power in Washington.

Well, how about a life here?

So you have a life there.

What kind of a life am I going to have there?

I mean, what are you offering me?

Are you offering me an affair or a job?

I don't know. How about a fresh start?

I don't want to end up like Jane.

Yeah.

[woman] Okay.

[indistinct chatter]

[Val] Oh!

-[Val] Oh, Mack! -Mack.

-[Mack] Gary. -[Gary] Hi.

-[Gary] I've got to talk to you. -[Mack] What?

We've got to talk to you. What's he doing here?

I don't know. What are you doing here?

You've been screwing up your life.

Oh, no, Gary, please.

You can't talk about that here. Karen loves you.

-Gary, give me a break. -[Gary] No, I know she does.

-Well, Mack, that is true but-- -She needs you.

Karen's divorcing me.

No, no, no, but she doesn't want to.

-See, I forced her into it. -What is this?

We both just wanted very much to get you back together, Gary.

We know you love her and we know she loves you.

But we also know that she's very, very stubborn.

We thought if we pushed her to go ahead with the divorce...

Yeah, it'd scare her back to her senses and see,

see how stupid she's been acting.

She shocked us and she called our bluff.

Yeah, but she still loves you.

I mean, it's really all our fault.

We were doing it for your own good.

But, Mack, we just very much want to see the two of you

get back together again. That's all.

[mellow music playing]

-You two. -Yeah.

[crickets chirping]

I heard a beautiful sermon today.

It was a story of a young boy's lesson

in trust in human faith.

In church?

Not exactly. It was at a television taping

in a minister's home, the Reverend Kathrun.

And they record the sermons there

and then broadcast them on cable television.

I think I've seen him.

Oh, it was wonderful. He, he is wonderful.

That's where you were.

What were you doing there?

I was running some errands.

For the minister?

Yes and no. I was running errands

for the television company that broadcasts the sermons.

Let me understand.

You've taken a job?

Well, it is a good job, father, and helps me to pay my way...

Have you forgotten your job at home?

No, I, I haven't forgotten that.

Oh, Cathy, uh, w-would you help me?

Uh, I'm going to make some more coffee.

Sure.

-He's not being fair. -It's not our concern.

-But he's your son. -And his.

You couldn't leave well enough alone.

You kept the truth from me.

No, I was protecting you from her.

Well, I found out that she was alive.

-I needed to be with her. -You don't need her.

-She's wonderful. -How can you say that?

She abandoned you. She abandoned me.

-And I forgive her. -Unforgivable.

What she did was unforgivable.

-And I love her. -No!

And I can see what you loved in her.

-What we had was not love. -You had me.

[dramatic music playing]

Sin.

You don't really believe that.

[Jonathan] You will leave your job.

You will leave this place.

-And you will come home with me. -You're not listening to me.

Well, you'll see.

You never listen to me!

When you come home, you'll see that I'm right.

Right.

How can any of this be right?

-[door slams] -[somber music continues]

[door closed]

Where have you been?

Don't ask.

Don't test me.

I've been with Mack.

Mack?

At Val's Lamaze class.

Um, I've, uh... [chuckles]

We've been trying to get Karen and Mack together.

I know it sounds crazy, but...

Well, they're nice people.

-It's worth a try. -Yeah.

Come on, Brian.

I'll be right back.

Oh.

[screaming]

[waves splashing]

[Joshua] It was always the same.

No matter what I did

or what I said, it was always the same.

He was right and I was wrong.

I could, I could believe in it.

I could count on it.

My God, I'm so afraid to think that he could have been wrong.

That he is wrong.

[sniffs] It, it wasn't right because he was right.

And it's, it's all a lie.

My whole life.

I, I don't know what I've done that was good or what was bad.

I don't know if I've ever been right.

I don't know what is right.

I...

I only want to be good.

[instrumental music playing]

I only want to at least be good.

You are good.

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

[Joshua] I want to be here.

[Cathy] You are here.

With you.

And you're safe.

[music continues]

[melancholic music playing]

Joshua never stayed out all night before.

He was never very strong willed either.

When he comes home...

If he comes home...

you should thank God.

He's been hurt.

I understand why you're upset.

You just got to see that making love isn't wrong, Joshua.

Love can't be wrong.

It's an impossibility.

It's, it's a contradiction of terms.

What happened to you?

Where did you lose your faith in people?

My faith is in God.

Where does that leave Joshua?

He hasn't earned it.

And I'm not sure that he ever will.

You make me feel dirty.

We are.

Making love is...

A violation of everything.

No, it's the basis of everything.

[soft music continues]

What we are, what we've done is beautiful.

What is right and what isn't?

Your holy book.

God is love.

I ought to hit you on the head with your holy book.

You read about love.

You sermonize and analyze and prophesize.

If only you could feel it.

I mean, taste it.

Let it run through your veins and pop out your pores.

If only you could live it.

God gave you eyes to see me...

and lips to kiss me.

[sobs] What good are these arms if we can't hold each other?

What good are our hearts?

What good are your dreams in my world?

What good have your dreams ever done for you?

Oh, yeah, my dreams.

They led me far away and they led me into trouble,

but they brought me home again.

A fool's journey.

And in the end, they led me to myself.

What makes you think that you're my salvation?

Not me.

Can't you feel any shame?

I pity you.

But I don't want your pity.

I never wanted your pity.

I wanted your love.

I gave you everything.

No, you didn't. You shut me out.

I loved you, Jonathan.

I never loved any man as much as you.

Don't distort the truth.

Don't try to make what we did here today...

into something sacred.

Coming here was wrong.

My leaving home was wrong.

You left me.

You left your son.

I didn't want to.

-You were right to... -I don't know why.

[sobs] To see your mother.

I wish I never met her.

He's coming home with me.

He just had a hard lesson to learn.

I wish I never met you.

[sniffles]

[sobs]

[chuckles]

Oh, Sam, we're gonna have to have that meeting tomorrow.

You understand, I, I wouldn't promise anybody anything

without talking to you first, right?

Sounds like a good idea, but Karen's always handling it.

Yeah, well, I'm the one that handles everything.

Uh, Laura's been approached by a company

who thinks they can solve our water problems.

That is if we still have a water problem.

Well, I've been thinking of taking up rain dancing.

-We still have a water problem. -Hm.

Good to see you...

Who are these people?

Uh, a person, Alex Leslie.

He wants me to work on this project with him.

Well, do you think they can really help?

Yeah, yeah, probably.

-But... -Uh... but I, um...

I had another offer last night.

[chuckles]

Gregory Sumner wants me to go to Washington with him.

And you know what?

I am actually considering going.

Just when you thought it was safe.

I, you know. I know.

-Let's go talk about the offers. -Okay.

[chattering]

Tell you what.

All this stuff about Gary Loader's got me thinking

about being in prison again.

It's like the whole time I was there...

I didn't feel I deserved to be there.

I didn't belong there, no matter how guilty I was.

-[phone rings] -I didn't deserve it.

You didn't belong there, okay?

-Yeah, I didn't deserve it. -Phone, Mack.

For me? Mack MacKenzie.

Come on.

Yeah, I'll be back.

-Oh. -What's up?

Resisting arrest, Gary Loader was just k*lled.

Hello? Hello?

You're from the station, aren't you?

Um, yeah, no.

I-I didn't come here directly from the station.

I, uh...

I came here because I thought I was going to hear a sermon.

And there was nobody here...

so I, I guess I must have fallen asleep.

Most people wait until I start talking.

Well, I feel awfully stupid about this.

Oh, please don't.

It's just that it, uh...

felt like a church in here.

Good. Good.

My father is a preacher.

-Here in town? -No, back home in Tennessee.

I came here to Knots Landing to visit my mother, but...

I don't know what to do anymore.

I love them both.

And I shouldn't have to choose between the two.

But pop wants me to go home with him, and I want to stay.

Why did you leave?

I wanted to find out about my mother.

And yourself.

Yes.

But everything's so confused now.

I don't know what to do.

Pop is so angry.

[sighs] He gets so angry.

But that doesn't mean that he doesn't love you.

When our children leave home,

we begin to realize how old we've grown.

When a child makes a decision contrary to what we believe,

it can be frightening.

We're forced to look at the possibility

that we may have been wrong.

That there were other choices.

Don't be afraid of making choices.

[Val] I'm telling you, Karen, this is not gonna work.

-It'll work. -I can't eat anymore.

-I am stuffed. -Honey, Dr.-- Dr. Kellin said

that the baby's gonna have to gain weight.

You're just gonna have to, to eat more. That's all.

You have to stick to her diet, and that's all there is to it.

-[Karen] Do you hear me? -Okay, fine.

I feel right now like I'm gonna burst.

I'm really sorry I wasn't able to be your coach.

You know that, don't you?

I know.

So who'd you ask?

You haven't changed your mind about it, have you?

Uh-uh.

[Val] I ask Mack.

[Scott] Karen?

Oh.

Hi, Scott. How are you?

-Pleasant cuisine, isn't it? -Yes.

Um, I don't believe you've met my friend, Val Ewing.

-Scott Easton. -It's a pleasure, Val.

Thank you. Nice meeting you.

Would it be indiscreet of me to congratulate you?

[chuckles]

No, not at all. Thank you very much.

Twins.

[Scott] Oh, how exciting.

Yeah.

Always regretted that I never had children of my own.

Well, eat up.

You want those babies to be fat and happy.

-See? -Okay, stop it.

-I'm telling you... -Eat.

-I can't eat any more of this. -Eat.

[instrumental music playing]

[door opens]

[door closes]

I'm sorry, father.

I'm sorry that I fought with you,

and I'm sorry for the way that I left home.

I never meant to hurt you.

And I know how much you love me.

[Jonathan] Get yourself ready to go home.

I'm staying here for a while.

She left me, and now you propose to do the same thing.

It isn't like that.

It is like that.

She had her reasons.

[Jonathan] They weren't reasons.

[Joshua] They were all that she had.

You're no better than she is.

I'm everything that you made me.

Don't blame what you've done on me.

There is no blame.

Josh.

Please.

She'll corrupt you.

You're so afraid.

What are you afraid of?

That I'm going to love her more than I love you?

[Jonathan] No.

Don't you see that she's done exactly the same thing

that she did to me?

She loves me.

You're the only one that I have.

[somber music playing]

[Joshua] It doesn't have to stay that way.

[waves splash]

But I love this stuff.

Yeah.

When did you shave?

-Three weeks ago. -You look great.

Thanks.

Mine is like a steel trap.

You know, I...

I had dinner at Lotus Point last night. It, uh...

It was nothing like this.

-Your boss? -No. Karen.

Not you too.

-I had dinner with the woman. -Yeah, right.

Like Gary was just in the neighborhood, huh?

Gary wasn't there.

The neighborhood of my Lamaze class?

-You at a Lamaze class? -[Mack] Yeah.

Him and Val playing Cupid

trying to get Karen and me back together.

Oh, no.

Look, man, I just had dinner with the woman.

Really, I've been under that kind of pressure before.

Believe me, I respect your decision.

Well...

So, how is she?

She's great.

Um, she asked about you.

How was your Lamaze class?

Great.

You know, if you're gonna make a move on Val,

you better make it now.

[mellow music playing]

-Karen. -Oh, hi.

Would you explain something to me?

Sure.

You've patched things up with Greg Sumner, right?

You've forgiven him.

-Well... -But you're divorcing Mack.

-Abby... -Don't you have that backwards?

Abby, this is really none of your business.

The hell it isn't.

Every time you have a fight with someone,

it ends up in my lap.

-In your lap? -Yes.

You make it impossible for me to stay neutral. [scoffs]

Don't you remember where your daughter lived

-while you two were feuding? -Abby.

And every time my brother and you had a fight,

it ended up with me in the middle.

I know every side of every argument you've ever had.

-Damn it, Abby. -And now this.

-Butt out. -I know your fights

better than you do, Karen.

But I learned something that you never learned.

I know when you're fighting for something you believe in,

and I know when you're being stubborn

because you know you're wrong.

I'm not wrong.

So let's just cut through the crap right now, all right?

This time you've blown it.

This time it's cost you Mack.

[soft music playing]

[Laura] I spent some time in New York.

I was fascinated, you know?

Everything was so big and there was such a variety. [groans]

And then, I don't know, after a while,

big cities just repulse me.

They were so loud and so ugly and so dirty and...

[groans]

Um...

And then I went out west.

My friend who went to the beauty contest,

well, she... she lost,

but she didn't walk away empty-handed.

She met this gorgeous, gorgeous lifeguard

and they got married.

And then six months later he drowned.

But he left her this, [tongue clicks]

this ranch in Oklahoma. Mm.

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

I'm sorry, but I have to cancel

all of my appointments for tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

Uh, tell him I'm in Oklahoma.

And that was where I learned...

Goodbye.

I'm just taking my father to the airport.

I, uh...

I decided I'm going to stay in Knots Landing.

It's not so bad here, after all.

No, it's not so bad.

You know, you and I should get together

and have a talk when we both have more time, okay?

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Seems like one of us is always leaving.

Perhaps it's hereditary.

Perhaps it's the last time.

Get him in the habit of calling me now and then.

Every Sabbath.

Perfect.

I'm sorry all this has been so painful.

I'd forgotten how spirited you were.

Our son is beautiful, Jonathan.

[soft music playing]

I'm glad he found you.

I'd never realized what he'd lost.

What I'd lost.

I haven't been worth finding very long.

Oh, I never knew another woman like you.

Well, God had mercy.

[both laugh]

Goodbye, Lilimae.

Bye, Jonathan J.

[knocking on door]

Mack?

[mellow music playing]

Mack?

I've got a lot of explaining to do, Mack.

Yeah? I don't want any.

But I'm gonna need time.

Time?

Give that to me, Mack.

Give me time.

[sighs]

[doctor] Well, Mrs. Ewing, other than the fact

that the babies are very small, everything seems to be in order.

You know, I don't understand that because I eat

until I think I'm gonna burst and then I'm...

I'm so uncomfortable that I can't see straight.

There's really not a lot of room left down there.

These tablets will help ease that discomfort.

Now make sure you take one after every meal.

Oh, thank you, doctor.

Oh, would you please tell Dr. Kellin that I,

I was very sorry to hear about her sister?

You'll see her next month. You just take care.

Thank you, doctor. Bye-bye.

Scott Easton, please.

Scott, Mitch. It's taken care of.

Very healthy, I'd say two to three days at the most.
