this!
You see, that's the point.
I'm listening,
but he doesn't think I am. Why?
Because he doesn't expect me
to bother enough, or to care.
- Bellicec, for the last time, stop!
- Stop what?!
- Stand still, be quiet, and shut up!
- Jack!
How did you feel about that?
Why in the store? He's a nut.
How did you feel?
You were probably shocked.
You wanted to shut your feelings off,
maybe make believe it wasn't happening
cos then you don't have to deal with it.
I wanna deal with that woman
in the bookstore.
Why?
Do you identify with her?
Yes.
OK.
Come on.
Suppose I were to tell you that Katherine
is trying to escape from a relationship.
- He's treating her.
- So why'd he push me against a wall?
- She's upset.
- She looks fine.
- She is upset, Jack.
- You look upset to me now.
Do me a favour, will ya?
Go home and I'll call you later.
- Go home and leave us alone for a bit.
- Go home?
- OK?
- OK. OK.
Thank you.
You're jumping to a bizarre conclusion.
That this man you live with
has been replaced by somebody else.
Isn't it more likely
you want to believe he's changed
because you're really looking
for an excuse to get out?
I don't know.
Will you think about it, please,
before you make a move?
Before you jump and
destroy something you have. Will you?
Please?
Yeah.
Thank you.
I just gave her
a psychological Band-Aid, Matthew.
I should talk to her some more.
You could bring her by my office
tomorrow around four.
What's the matter with her?
It's like there's some kind of
hallucinatory flu going around.
People get over it in a day or two.
All I can do is treat the symptoms.
She's gonna be OK?
A good night's sleep wouldn't hurt.
- Is it contagious?
- Oh, Matthew!
- Take her home to her boyfriend.
- That wasn't what I was thinking.
I was just wondering
if the Health Department should look at it.
Who knows? I don't know.
I wish I did.
OK.
Take her home, Matthew.
Ah, Jack. How was the book party?
Is that Kibner's new book?
Didn't get to read your poetry?
I'm sorry, Jack.
Good evening. Bellicec Baths.
Yes, we recommend the 1 5-minute soak
in Calistoga volcanic ash,
that's followed by
an Aqua-Surge whirlpool dip.
Hey, can you help me outta here?
Bellicec!
I'm talking to you. Give me a hand.
Help me outta this thing.
Stan...
Every week we go through this.
- Why can't you be more cooperative?
- Get me a towel.
You are really gonna get hurt
one of these days.
Give me another towel, would you?
Come on.
Nancy, shut the music off.
It's for the plants, Stan.
Screw the plants. I hate the music.
It's wonderful for my plants.
They just love it.
Plants have feelings, you know,
just like people.
It's fascinating. This type of music
stimulates the growth of the plants.
They've done tons of experiments on it.
- Come on, Nancy. Turn the music off.
- Relax.
You're not gonna enjoy this if you don't.
Oh! Mr Gianni, what are you doing here?
This is must reading, Mrs Bellicec.
Worlds ln Collision by Velikovsky.
Oh, yes. I've read that many times.
Have you read Star Maker
by Olaf Stapledon?
That's must reading, too.
- Well, it's awfully late, Mr Gianni.
- You're so smart.
Oh, Mr Gianni,
you've been sitting in that mud too long.
It is possible to overdo it, you know.
Oh, by the way, thank you for that plant
you gave me last time.
I'll walk you inside.
You don't have to.
Geoffrey?
That was sweet of him.
You all right?
I'll see you tomorrow morning.
Thank you, Matthew.
You've really made me feel better.
And I'm gonna think about
what Kibner said.
OK.
Thanks for helping. Goodnight.
See you.
Jack?
Honey, where are ya?
I don't wanna disturb you if you're
thinking, but I could do with some food.
I haven't eaten all day. Oh...
Oh, Jack, you're gonna suffocate.
My nose...
Let me out! Let me out!
My nose is bleeding.
Who is it?
Who is it?
It's Matthew.
- Come on in.
- What happened?
Back here.
- Matthew, I called you here as a
