These are really quite good.
You're not saying that because you're
frightened I might be a crazy lady?
Clearly, you are a crazy lady,
but clearly, again, these are nice.
Wait a minute.
You said "good".
"Really quite good", you said.
Good is better than nice.
You're not changing your mind,
are you?
No. The results are lovely.
Don't get upset again.
Lovely is better than good.
But what fascinates me is,
what is it you want from it all?
Do you know?
I want...
...somewhere...
...someday, someone to look
at something and say,
"Hey, that reminds of an Ingles."
Ingles was my maiden name.
I guess I want to be remembered.
Yeah, don't we all?
Bobby?
- It's me.
- Kitchen.
I've just come from Atkinson's
in New York, and he loves my stuff.
Well, not loves, maybe, but he's
genuinely interested in my work.
The gallery for photographers.
That's wonderful, Joanna.
If you're going to tell me
you don't like this dress,
I'm sticking my head
right in the oven.
Dave bought it for me for the weekend.
He spent a ton on me.
How about the shape?
Padded uplift bra.
It's true what they say in the ads.
Oh, Joanna, Dave turned
me loose in Bergdorf's,
- and I went mad.
- Bobby.
At The Plaza, some guy tried
picking me up in the lobby.
You know how long it's been
since that happened?
Of course, I did look terrific.
Bobby, you're not at The Plaza now, so
why are you wearing all that makeup?
You never even used to clean
your kitchen, much less wear makeup.
Admit it, Joanna, I was a joke.
Dave works hard all day long,
and what does he come home to?
- A slob.
- Bobby, it's gotten to you now.
Nothing's got me.
I just want to look like a woman and
keep my house looking decent too.
- You're just like Charmaine.
- Will you stop?
And you're not going to leave
Stepford either, are you?
Leave Stepford?
Good schools, low taxes, clean air?
No. You're right.
- Shall I make us a nice pot of coffee?
- No, no. I've really got to go now.
Stop by any time. I'll be here.
- Oh, my God, look out!
- Watch out!
OK, so you're upset. So you pass
a school bus, and you dent the wagon.
Bobby Markowe buys a new bra,
and I gotta pay for a new mailbox
for the Van Sants.
So what? So, what are you
talking about, Joanna?
Why can't you understand?
Her kitchen was sparkling.
Yeah, so you said.
Look, I hate to come on
like the heavy,
but what's that got to do
with you going crazy?
It wasn't just that.
It wasn't just anything.
She's changed!
And stop telling me I'm crazy.
Are you two fighting?
- No.
- We don't like it when you fight.
Look, we're not fighting. We're just
talking. Now, come on, you guys.
Go on outside, all right?
Oh, boy. This is really terrific.
This is really terrific for them,
you know.
Yeah, I remember when my mother
and father used to yell at each other.
- I didn't want them to go through this.
- Well, neither do I.
I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry about
the car, but I was panicked and upset.
Oh, look. That's no big deal.
It's the rest of it that bothers me.
Just try to look at it
from my point of view, Joanna.
Walter, I just want to say
one thing to you.
Bobby really has changed.
Believe me.
Everything in her house
looked like a TV commercial.
Well, good. Good.
She had to clean it sooner or later.
It looked like a goddamn pigsty.
I mean, when are things
gonna start sparkling around here?
That's what I'd like to know.
I mean, just look at the way
my kids are dressed. Ragamuffins.
Jeez, I work 80 hours a week.
I live in a great house, and my kids
look like they belong on welfare.
Look, if you paid a little more attention
to your family and a little less
- to your goddamn picture-taking...
- I'm getting the hell out of Stepford.
I'm getting us a house now,
and if it's hard on you, tough.
And if it's hard on the kids,
I'll ease up on my goddamn picture-
taking and stay around the house,
and believe me, they'll survive.
That's what I'm talking about,
