kisses me.
Who is man?
I wanna know him better...
..but I don't dare.
PIease expIain.
My feeIings are... too scary.
I never had these feeIings before.
Never?
Oh.
Once. There was a young man once.
- Not husband?
- No.
FeeIings for my husband are different.
What are deepest feeIings for husband?
I Iove him, but I...
But what, Mrs Tait?
PIease teII husband.
Husband here in room.
You see him? TeII him.
But what, Mrs Tait?
I'm the wife, you know.
I take care of the kids,...
..I host the dinner parties,
arrange the sociaI scheduIe,...
..try to Iook pretty
so your friends can admire your taste.
I've become one of those women
who shops aII day and gets pedicures.
But I wanna be more. There's more to me.
- You have chiIdren to raise.
- I can stiII raise the chiIdren.
I wanna do something with my Iife
before it's too Iate.
- Do what?
- I don't know what. There's Iots I can do.
Every time I ask you to be specific,
you become tongue-tied.
I had a career.
I gave up a career to marry you.
What career? You were
a smaII-town girI from a CathoIic schooI...
- I was working.
- You were struggIing...
- ..to break into the fashion industry.
- I was struggIing because I was young.
You were so pretty.
And we went for a drive
to that amusement park.

Artie Shaw & His Orchestra)
- I can't stay out too Iate.
- Why not?
I have to heIp the costume designer
shop in the morning.
The show opens in six weeks.
- Is the costume designer your boyfriend?
- No. I don't exactIy have a boyfriend.
If I did, I wouIdn't be here.
You're very beautifuI.
- And you're very rich.
- No, l'm not, actuaIIy.
My famiIy is, but...
..I wanna make it on my own.
- And I wiII.
- I'm sure you wiII.
- And what are your pIans?
- Oh, definiteIy something in fashion.
A designer for the theatre, or costume
designing, just reguIar cIothing designer.
I don't know. It's stiII just a dream.
And if I said marry me,
and have my chiIdren...
..and stay by my side,
and be Mrs DougIas Tait?
(Alice laughs)
I'd say you were getting ahead
of yourseIf. After aII, we just met.
But I'II confess you're very handsome.
And now, Mrs Tait?
Now I... spend hours...
..trying so hard to hoId on to my youth.
And he doesn't notice.
Mrs Tait angry.
I'm at a crossroads.
I'm Iost.
I'm Iost.
SIeep. SIeep.
Deeper. Deeper.
At the count of three,
you wiII awaken and remember nothing.
You wiII have no memories
of these trance feeIings. None.
You wiII not be upset by them.
One: you are coming out.
Two: you are nearIy conscious.
Three...
Maybe I strained my back
pIaying tennis, you know?
My husband was trying to teach me,
but I'm not athIetic.
ReIax, Mrs Tait. Just reIax.
We wiII start the treatment
with these herbs.
What is scheduIe for today?
Oh, weII, I was gonna do a IittIe shopping.
And then I was going to... to...
Yes?
..to pick up my chiIdren at schooI.
Or maybe not. No, I think
I'II Iet the baby-sitter do that.
Mrs Tait, Dr Yang wouId Iike you
to go through day as pIanned.
- Sudden changes too impuIsive.
- ReaIIy?
Mrs Tait shouId take Iunch
with no sheIIfish.
Then, at 2.30, she wiII take herbs, yes?
- 2.30. AII right.
- After, she can retrieve chiIdren.
- But these are not dangerous, are they?
- Very miId.
WiII take effect quickIy.
WiII wear off quickIy.
MiId.
(* "La Cumparsita" by The Castilians)
Mrs Tait, you wanted some water.
Is it 2.30 aIready?
Just about.
Your eyes are reaIIy... on fire.
Thank you.
