been cut loose.
A while ago I had a routine life,
with feelings I understood.
A husband, a home.
Mrs Tait had illusion of happiness.
Upon closer observation, not very honest
husband, not very honest with self.
- I'm frightened.
- Freedom is frightening feeling.
Can you help me before you go?
Here, Mrs Tait.
Special herbs, very special herbs.
Found only in Himalayas.
- What will these do?
- Is strong love potion.
Dissolve into drink.
He who drinks will lose heart to Mrs Tait.
So... so these will
make Joe love me again?
Or your husband love you again
as he once did.
- Really?
- Herb is potent. Choice is yours.
Use wisely.
Choice?
I think Mrs Tait has better idea of who
she is than before she came to Dr Yang.
Who her friends are, or are not.
Who is husband, lover, sister, mother.
What are her needs, her limits, her gifts.
What are her innermost feelings.
May not know all answers,
but has better idea. No?
Yes. Yes, it's true.
Now must decide
which road her life will take.
Whoa! Sorry.
Alice. I didn't think you could make it.
- Uh-oh. What's wrong?
- I'll come back.
Don't be silly. Come in.
There are a lot of peopIe you know here.
- Is that Alice?
- Hi.
- Where's Doug?
- He's... he's busy.
- Merry Christmas.
- Thank you. Merry Christmas.
- I'm a little shaken up.
- Yeah, I see that. Let's go into the kitchen.
What is it? What?
OK. I have to make a decision
between Doug and Joe.
Oh, God. Well...
- All right. What are your feelings?
- I don't know.
I have feelings for both of them.
Alice, is it that simple?
You just pick the one you want?
It's a long story, but yes, yes, I can.
- You're the one to make this decision.
- Come on, you two. Join the party.
It's prime time.
People are gonna begin leaving soon.
That's great. Look at these people go.
- We're not gonna have anything left.
- The party's a big hit. So's the eggnog.
Cocktail franks and bicarbonate of soda.
What's... what's with Alice?
She looked so upset when she came in.
- I'm gonna go get some more cake.
- Come on, tell me.
Dorothy?
Excuse me. Alice?
Could I have a word with you?
- Yes. Excuse me. Excuse me.
- Excuse us.
Thanks. He was getting a little repetitious.
What is this?
I'm so glad you and Dorothy
are seeing more of each other.
Thank you. I'm glad, too.
- I've always liked you.
- Thank you. I've always liked...
Have I got something there?
I'm glad you guys moved to New York.
No, I mean, I really like you.
Thank you. I really like you, too.
- Now I know I made a mistake.
- What's that? A mistake?
Yeah. Marrying Dorothy. You're the one
I love. Always have, always will.
What are you saying?
What, are you kidding?
I don't know. Maybe I'm drunk.
Maybe you're drunk. I don't think
you should be saying things like that.
- Oh, Alice, darling.
- Ken, come on.
Come on, Ken.
Good to see you. Who's that?
It doesn't matter, anyway.
- Hello. Hi.
- Hello.
- We haven't met. I'm Sid Moscowitz.
- Excuse me. I'm Alice Tait.
You'll think I'm very forward, but you're
the loveliest creature I've ever seen.
Thank you.
That's very sweet. Thank you.
- Don't be offended.
- This is my night. I'm not at all offended.
- I've been staring at you for half an hour.
- Have you really?
- God!
- Excuse me. Hi, Sid. How are you?
- I'm fine.
- Everyone's having too much eggnog!
I want you to know I...
- You mean a lot to me.
- You don't even know me.
I know enough to know
that I would be lost without you.
- You'd be lost without me?
- Suddenly, really...
- You're my world, Alice.
- I was just looking for my sister Dorothy.
- Excuse me.
- I need to say this.
- Who are you?
- My name is Alice Tait.
- Excuse me.
- Dorothy's sister. I was looking for her.
- You are the most devastating...
- Alice.
- What is everyone on?
- Alice? I just... I Iove you.
- That's a beautiful name.
- Excuse me.
- The herbs. The herbs.
- Alice. Excuse me.
The herbs. A bag,
