This is very difficult for him.
He is really not accepting it at all.
I just have to settle it once and for all.
I have to see him.
I have to go.
What time is it now?
Oh, my God, I'm late. I have to go.
Hi. Della?
It's Rachel. Were there any calls?
My husband?
Well, if my husband calls,
will you tell him that I'm...?
No, don't tell him that.
Tell him that I'll be home soon.
Yes. Don't be too specific about it.
Just say soon.
What? Yes.
Put her on.
Hi, honey.
It's Mommy.
Yes, I'll be home in 15 minutes.
Well, ask Della to show you
where that is on the clock.
Tick-tock.
Mommy has to hang up now,
or I won't be home in 15 minutes.
Annie, hang the phone up, sweetie.
Hang the phone up so Daddy can call.
Annie?
Annie?
I'm sorry.
Taxi!
Taxi.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Nobody called.
Hi.
Tell Mommy about the banana.
- I'll get it.
- What'd you eat?
Oh, nice! And for me!
- Here. And thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Beautiful.
Gotta see who this is...
I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope.
"Dear Rachel,
so sorry about your mother.
"Just wanted you to know
I'm thinking of you.
"Love, Judith."
Shit! Now I have to call her.
Good evening. In our last episode,
Rachel discovered
that her husband Mark
is in love with another woman:
The tall, infamous Thelma,
and she has left him.
Taken their tiny, tiny child
and gone to her father's apartment
in New York.
There,
pregnant, penniless and alone,
she has been waiting,
hoping against hope,
as the hours tick by
without a phone call.
Finally, realising that if there is
no phone call the first day,
there probably won't be one,
or perhaps there will be one,
but a day later,
Rachel closes her weary eyes
and sobs herself to sleep.
Rach.
Mark?
No.
Daddy.
- Where have you been?
- Atlantic City with a lady. A looker.
Gambling. Her money. I lost.
What are you doing here?
Mark has fallen in love with Thelma Rice.
- Thelma Rice. Do I know her?
- No.
No, no, no.
Honey, when Joey Lazarus
fell in love with Zizi Jevay,
he went to his wife and said,
"Natalie, I'm in love with Zizi Jevay.
I care for you, we have six kids,
"hope you don't give me any trouble
about seeing them,
"because I can't beat this thing."
And his wife said to him, "Joey,
"I'm happy for you.
You're in love with Zizi Jevay.
"Hope you'll be very happy with her.
I'm leaving.
"I won't give you any trouble
about the kids.
"I've raised them for 14 years.
"You and Zizi can have them."
Yeah, well, what are you saying?
That I should give Mark the children?
One of them, anyway.
In a couple of months...
...give him the other.
- Are you crazy?
- They're my children.
- A suggestion.
I know. I'm...
I just can't do that, Daddy.
Maybe if I had six children.
Men.
I hate them.
Always hated them.
You wonder
why I hang around with women.
Because it's men
who do things like this.
Oh, Daddy.
Oh, now, now, now, now, now.
You're a wonderful person.
He's a shit. And I love you.
I'll do anything I can for you,
you know?
- I know.
- Now, I have some news.
Gene Kelly called about my new project.
Oh, that's wonderful, Daddy.
Says he hasn't directed in years,
but he might come back for this.
Oh, it's real exciting.
Exciting? The life of Balanchine.
Are you kidding?
Kelly'd be crazy to turn down
something like this.
It's a great part for me.
- And maybe you can write it.
- Oh, Dad.
I miss Mom.
I miss her too.
Although, let's face it, she wasn't
much good at a time like this.
Yeah, I know.
Although, let's face it, neither am I.
Oh, Daddy, what am I gonna do?
There's nothing you can do.
You want monogamy,
- marry a swan.
- Oh, no.
You get some sleep.
And I'm going to that little lady
whose money I lost in Atlantic City.
You sure she still wants to see you?
I'm in a buyer's market.
Daddy!
Oh, beautiful.
Della?
Della!
I'm going downtown to a sort of
a doctor's appointment.
I hope you're gonna see
a shrink, honey.
And I will be back
between
