- He doesn't have enough men in his life.
Maybe the three of us could go
to a movie. You ever go to movies?
I...
...really don't care for movies.
They make everything seem so close-up.
Bedpan.
- Outpatient.
- Anesthetic.
Hypodermic.
One hundred forty degrees?
Certain death.
What is she thinking?
Two quarts of stuffing,
I heard her say so.
Two quarts of teeming,
swarming bacteria.
Is this the Thanksgiving we all die?
Here comes the turkey.
Here it is.
Now, this is a reaI Thanksgiving.
I just wish my neighbours could see this.
There may be a little problem here.
The rest of the meaI is excellent.
We could fill up on the vegetables alone.
In fact, I think I'll do that.
What?
- The turkey.
- What?
Pure poison.
Come again?
We think it may have been cooked
at a slightly inadequate temperature.
It was not.
It's perfectly good.
- Mrs. Barrett!
- I can hear you.
Maybe you'd rather just
stick to the side dishes.
Well, perhaps I will.
I don't have much
of an appetite anyway.
Macon, how could you do this?
My lovely turkey. All that work.
I think it looks delicious.
Yes, but you don't know
about the other times.
Other times?
You don't fooI me for an instant.
I know why you're doing this. You wanna
make me look bad in front of Julian.
Julian?
You wanna drive him off.
You three wasted your chances
and now you want me to waste mine...
...but I won't do it!
I can see what's what.
Love is what it's all about.
You wanna make me miss it.
Well, goodness.
You don't want me to stop cooking
for you and taking care of this house.
You don't want Julian
to fall in love with me.
Do what?
Do you think I ought
to go after her?
No.
That poor, dear girI.
I feeI just awfuI.
- But she seems so-
- She's fine.
She's perfectly fine.
- Now, who wants a baked potato?
- I do.
Me.
Julian, potato?
I'll take the turkey.
Actually, have you ever noticed
that Julian wears crew necks?
That doesn't mean he wouldn't
wear a V-neck if he had one.
He's younger, you know.
I don't know if you realize that.
Two years.
But he's got a younger style of living.
Singles apartments and so on.
He's tired of all that.
Don't try to spoiI this, Macon.
I only want to protect you.
It's wrong, you know,
what you said at Thanksgiving.
Love is not what it's all about.
There are all kinds of other issues.
He ate my turkey and didn't get sick.
Two big helpings.
I got this car for only $200.
That's because it needed work.
But I took it to Dominick,
this boy down the street.
I go, Dominick, here's the deaI.
You fix my car...
...I'II let you use it three nights
a week and all day Sunday.
Wasn't that a good idea?
Very inventive.
Hi.
What a good boy.
Give him lots of praise.
- We'll both go in the drugstore.
- Is it safe?
Have to try it sooner or later.
Too pink.
What are you doing for dinner
tomorrow night?
For dinner?
Come and eat at my house.
Come on, it'll be fun.
Just for dinner.
You and me and Alexander.
Say 6:00.
It's 51021 st Street.
Know where that is?
Well, I don't believe I'm free then.
Think it over.
How old did you say
Alexander was?
He's 7.
Have you thought?
Have you given any thought
to coming to dinner?
Oh, I...
...could come.
If it's only for dinner.
What else would it be for?
Here he is.
Hi, sweetie.
Alexander, this is Macon.
Can you say hi?
You're young to be at the doctor's
without your mother.
He's used to it. He's had to go often.
He's got allergies.
I see.
He's allergic to shellfish, milk, eggs
and most vegetables.
We think he may be allergic to air.
Whenever he's outside a long time,
any uncovered skin gets these bumps.
If a bee stings him
and he hasn't had his shots...
...he could be dead in half an hour.
Dear Muriel...
...I am very sorry...
...but I won't be able to have dinner
with you tomorrow after all.
Something has come up.
Regretfully...
...Macon.
I've got a double-
