would you move?
No, no.
- What? What did I say?
- I meant move, leave Stepford.
We just got to Stepford.
Hey, are you that unhappy?
Is it everything you expected?
Well...
No. No, it's not, but...
...I just didn't want to be
the first one to admit it.
You know, I'm the one that wanted
to come here in the first place.
You think the men are dull.
Well, I think the women are too.
You're right. I agree with you.
That's why I want to move.
Yeah, but the area sure is nice,
though, you know.
It's perfect for the kids.
Maybe Norwood or Eastbridge.
OK, let's move.
You mean it?
That's all there is to it?
I just had to ask?
Shouldn't we fight or something?
Well, I don't want
to move tonight, Joanna.
What is it, June already? And I got
all this work piled up here. Jesus, I...
OK, I'll tell you what.
Why don't you look around,
and we'll figure on moving in August.
That way, the kids can get settled in
before school starts.
Hey, these papers are all
in sequence, you know.
I mean, you're crushing
Mr Ziegler's will.
I'll make you a beneficiary.
I guess Mr Ziegler
can wait a little while.
- You mean it? We can move?
- Yeah.
Oh, Walter.
Oh, Walter, you're really sweet.
Girls, I think after four houses,
I'm getting to know your taste.
This may be it.
He's an ITT VP transferred to
Panama, probably to start a revolution.
There will be at least eight lonely ladies
in Eastbridge Centre for a while.
I don't know how he got away
with it so close to home.
- Oh, my.
- I'll go in first. You stay here.
They gave me the key, but you
never know what you'll walk into.
Thanks. Oh, Mrs Kirgassa,
I love you.
Oh, she's fat and lovely.
She's got a big mouth, and I love her.
What a treat. When I told Dave
we were house hunting,
he nearly jumped out of his skin.
He threatened to cancel The Plaza.
- What is The Plaza?
- Oh, I forgot.
I'm supposed to ask you
if you will take our kids and the dog
so Dave and I can have a weekend,
our annual weekend, at The Plaza.
It's to commemorate the time
he took a young virgin to the theatre
and faked her up to his room.
Hell, I had to lose it sometime.
- The coast is clear. Come on, girls.
- Right.
- Anyway, will you do it for me?
- Do what?
Take care of the kids and the dog
for the weekend.
Oh, I know it's just a horrible thing
to even think about, isn't it? Forget it.
- No. Yes, it is, but OK.
- You will?
The girls at least
will love having the dog.
Ever since dear old Fred departed,
they've been after me
- to get another one.
- Yes.
- I don't know about Walter, though.
- What do you mean?
Well, you know, Walter hates noise.
- I want one!
- Me!
The dog's under the table, for crying...
Hey, there's a dog under the table.
Honey, can I have
some more coffee, please?
Dolly is...
Dolly's under the table here.
I wish you would...
Can I have
some more coffee, please?
How many pancakes are you
gonna give...? Yeah, thank you.
- Joanna.
- Yeah?
Look, I played Monopoly with them.
I didn't pass go, I didn't collect.
I played backgammon. I played
Scrabble with the goddamn kids.
They're in the kitchen now.
What do you want me to do?
Walter, you've had seven years
of college. Use your brain.
I'm sorry, but I'm onto something,
and I think maybe it's the best I've ever
done. And I wanna stick with it.
But how do I amuse them?
I amuse them seven days a week.
They know all the
Sesame Street songs.
- Have a sing-along.
- A sing-along.
Jesus.
Mr Atkinson, I've been at these
since Saturday, just about nonstop,
because I had to get them into
some sort of shape for you to see
because I think
they're an improvement,
and you've got to think so too.
I'm doing all the talking, I know,
but these are my little girls
and those are someone else's,
my best friend's little boys.
And you've just got to tell me,
am I crazy?
Aren't they good?
Please say something.
I don't care.
No, I do care.
Don't say anything bad.
