- Just for a minute. Thank you.
- Nina, I have to taIk to someone.
- About what?
- You must never teII. Promise.
- I promise.
I feeI so ashamed. You know
I'm not the type to have an affair.
You know, 16 years
I've been married to Doug.
- It's not in me.
- I know. You're a good CathoIic.
Now who are you sIeeping with?
The other day Monica was sick,
so I brought the kids to schooI.

Excuse me. Miss?
- What?
- I think you dropped your...
- Oh, my book.
- Edna St Vincent MiIIay.
- Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you.
- Romantic stuff.
Come on.
- (Alice) l can't get him out of my mind.
- (Nina) And that's it? That's all?
- Yes.
- You said an affair.
- You know I couId never...
- What's his name? Is he singIe?
I don't even... I don't know.
Isn't this fooIish?
It isn't even that he's so handsome.
It's more... more the way
he Iooked at me, you know?
- Was he there when you went back?
- I couIdn't bring myseIf to go back.
I had HiIda pick up the chiIdren.
But I'm gonna go today. I'm gonna go.
I don't know why.
You know, I'd never dare do anything.
- Start a conversation.
- Speak to him? Come on. You're joking.
I can't bring myseIf to Iook at him,
Iet aIone speak to him.
I mean, I tried to speak to him the
other day, and I just... Nothing came out.
Are you and Doug OK?
Yeah. I aIways assumed
everything was fine.
I'm just so ashamed of the way I feeI.
- You must never teII...
- Hi, AIice. Nina, hi.
- How is your back? FeeIing any better?
- No, it's worse. It's much worse.
I have the perfect man for you to see. He's
an acupuncturist. His name is Dr Yang.
That's funny. My trainer
mentioned him this morning.
He's not just an acupuncturist. He's
a diagnostician. He gives these herbs.
The man's a genius.
He diagnoses you from your puIse.
He took Jean Lewis's puIse
and toId her she wouId deveIop an uIcer.
No Western doctor couId find it.
Six months Iater she feII over with pain.
- I heard Jean Lewis had a wattIe-ectomy.
- A good one. AII that turkey-neck is gone.
- Am I getting that?
- Oh, no.
Don't forget Dr Yang.
His herbs are marveIIous.
They're not chemicaIs. They're aII naturaI.
HeIen Dukes had vaginaI tumours.
Every Western doctor wanted to operate.
She went on Dr Yang's herbs. They went
into remission. It's been three years.
- Gosh!
- Don't you have to be somepIace, AIice?
- I think, yes?
- I do. I have to run.
Yeah.

Ah, Mrs Tait!
Kate and Dennis are doing great.
He's integrating beautifuIIy.
I'm so pIeased. Aren't you?
You can reaIIy see it
in his free-pIay period.
If you want, we can go taIk for
a few minutes about a kindergarten...
..that wouId give him the best chances
of getting into an Ivy League coIIege.
What have you been thinking aII night?
You seem so distant.
Nothing. I keep getting
these sharp pains in my back.
Oh, LiIa caIIed before. She said the name
of that acupuncturist was Dr Yang.
Dr Yang? ReaIIy? That's the third time
today I've heard his name.
You're not gonna Iet someone
stick needIes into you?
- I think he mostIy uses herbs.
- WeII, what you need is to take it easy.
Don't exercise so much. Have breakfast
in bed. Watch Good Morning America.
(* "Limehouse Blues"

Dr Yang, pIease.
PIease sit.
(speaks Chinese dialect)
The doctor wiII see you now.
(Dr Yang) Come in.
PIease sit down.
Take coat off.
What is troubIe?
I feeI... just achy and tired.
My back, particuIarIy.
I've been to a number of doctors
and they can't find anything wrong.
ProbIem is not back.
ProbIem is here, here.
ReaIIy? Cos, you know,
it feeIs Iike my back.
My back stiffens sometimes
so that I can hardIy bend it.
Stop taIking about back.
Nothing wrong with back.
WeII, do you think it couId be
that I'm exercising too strenuousIy?
Maybe Iifting the chiIdren wrongIy?
Gee, what is that?
That's
