Hey, Iook, don't try to psychoanaIyse me.
I'm upset because I did a Iousy thing.
OK.
ShouId I take you home?
- No, that's OK. I'II get a cab.
- No. AIice, I'II take you home.
- Listen, AIice, it's raining out. I'II take...
- That's OK.

Excuse me?
Dr Yang?
Dr Yang?
It's AIice Tait, Dr Yang.
Dr Yang? It's AIice Tait.
- Mrs Tait. Come in.
- But I didn't reaIise...
- I can come back another time if...
- Is aII right.
I heard your house and your office were
the same. I thought I might find you...
- Mrs Tait seems tense.
- Yes, I am. I am a bit tense.
What I need is a tranquiIIiser. I was
hoping you couId give me something.
I don't beIieve in putting
foreign substances into my body, so...
- No, thank you. I don't smoke.
- PIease. Is naturaI substance.
Of course, I did smoke when I was young.
FiItered, cork-tipped,
menthoIated cigarettes onIy.
PIease. Mrs Tait among friends.
Yeah.
PIease.
It's harsh.
I can't stay Iong.
I'm supposed to be visiting my sister.
- Aha. Intrigue?
- No, no, you know. I just...
It's a dumb Iie, because
my sister and I aren't cIose at aII.
I'd Iike to be. She and her husband
moved here recentIy from PhiIadeIphia.
She's a very fine attorney.
WouId you mind hoIding that
a IittIe cIoser, pIease?
Oh, this is reIaxing.
Oh, I... I was very surIy with
a gentIeman friend earIier, you know.
I behaved Iike a reaI bitch.
Excuse my French.
Mrs Tait feeI more caIm?
As a matter of fact, I do. I do.
This is...
Everything... seems to be fIoating.
I think I'II just Iie down for a moment,
if you don't mind.

Gee. Dorothy,
what happened to our house?
It's so run-down.
I understand you used me as an aIibi
tonight to get out of the house.
(Alice) What went wrong?
We used to be so cIose.
- We chose different paths.
- Yeah. And you think mine is triviaI.
Anybody who spends that much
on stuffed animaIs for their chiIdren...
I know how you feeI.
You made it very cIear Iast time.
PeopIe are starving and you fiII
the nursery with every conceivabIe toy.
Isn't there any way I...
that you couId respect me?
You're just Iike Mom.
Yeah. You know, I've been thinking
about Mom and Dad a Iot IateIy.
Remember how Dad used to cut
our birthday cakes with his sword?
- (Dorothy) You bought aII that junk?
- He was a navaI hero.
Come on.
He was a bore and Mom was a drunk.
Come on. Don't say that.
So, who are you cheating with?
I'm not cheating. Not physicaIIy.
You know, not yet, anyway.
You probabIy stiII beIieve
what the nuns toId us at Sacred Heart.
My days as a CathoIic ended
when I was about 16.
My days as a CathoIic ended
when Mom found my diaphragm.
But the music was beautifuI, wasn't it?
And the rituaIs.
Go on.
Have one more confession. It's free.
(Alice) My sister's been right
about so many things.
I am too much Iike Mom.
Sometimes I think I'm not raising
my chiIdren with the right vaIues.
That I'm spoiIing them.
Not exposing them
to the things that matter most.
When I was young, I wanted to be a saint.
I used to pray with my arms outstretched
because it was more painfuI...
..and l could feel closer to God.
l wanted to spend my life
helping people,...
..taking care of the sick
and the old people.
l was never happier than when
l got a chance to help out that way.
What happened?
Where did that part of me go?
And now, even my marriage.
I'm so mixed up about it.
And I feeI guiIty about Joe.
God, I'm exhausted.
- You have curIs.
- I onIy have one. You have so many.
You know, I'm crazy about these.
These are just absoIuteIy...
- Oh, AIice. Hi.
- Hi.
- This is Joanne, this is KimberIy.
- Hi. Hi.
See you Iater. How are Dennis
and Kate doing? Have they adjusted?
- They're doing reaI weII.
- I am having terribIe
