the shrinks,
the scientists, the police chief,
the fire chief, the head of the hospital,
the guy who runs the phone company.
So did they ask you?
- Did they ask me?
- Yes, Walter, am I going crazy?
You keep repeating the questions.
Did they ask you?
Well, in a way, yes.
In a way you could refuse,
or in a way you had to accept?
Well, they said I had a good chance
of getting in, which I felt good about.
I have to admit, though, that there's
one rule that I don't much care for,
but apparently, it's gonna be changed
in, oh, six months or something.
Well, what rule is that?
Well, right now
it's strictly men only.
I give up on you.
Well, what's that supposed to mean?
Why don't you ever once
just tell me the truth?
You pretend we decide things together,
but it's always you, what you want.
You asked me if I wanted
to move out here,
and I found you'd already been
looking at a house.
You asked me if I liked this place,
and I found you'd already made
a down payment.
Now you're asking me about
the lousy Men's Association,
and it's quite obvious
you've already joined.
Why bother to ask me at all?
I'm gonna put the kids to bed.
Come on, Daddy's waiting.
Yes, you may. Come on, come on.
Ladies, we have specials today
on crenshaw melons,
English walnuts and avocados.
That's in aisle seven.
- How much is it?
- $53.13, please.
Walter, wait, wait.
Walter, have you made it out?
Yeah, I just made it out. Why?
- Oh, my God.
- I'm sorry...
- You can ring it separately.
- All right, OK.
OK, Mrs. Sunderson.
Hold it a second, Mrs. Sunderson.
OK, come on.
Watch it!
Hey, what was that?
- Oh, shit.
- Oh, my God, Carol.
I didn't see you.
I thought it was clear.
Oh, my God.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Oh, no, it's nothing, really.
It's just a surprise.
- I'm fine. It's just my head. I...
- It wasn't my fault.
I... I didn't mean nothing. It was just
one of those things, you know.
No, I'm fine.
It wasn't my fault. You know,
I didn't see the car coming.
It came right...
It wasn't my fault.
It wasn't my fault.
- How do you feel, Carol?
- I'm telling you, I'm fine. I'm really fine.
Isn't that Carol Van Sant?
Well, I think that she had
sort of an accident. Come on, now.
Should anyone send
for an ambulance?
Get an ambulance
down here right away.
We have an accident.
In the parking lot.
Get it down here right away.
In the parking lot.
What are you talking about?
I'm looking at... I can see it right now.
Get it down here right away.
Don't give me a hard time.
This is all so silly. I...
I'm fine. It's not serious.
What can I do, Carol? Tell me.
- Oh, my groceries.
- I'll take them home for you.
- Could you call Larson's Garage?
- Larson's Garage, of course.
This is all so silly. It's just my head.
I... Oh, this is all so silly.
It... It's just my head.
Poor, Carol.
She's such a nice person.
Do you think you'd get ambulance
service better than this anywhere else?
Two hours you'd wait in New York.
And I bet even in Scarsdale,
it'd take 45 minutes. Six minutes or so.
Any of the rest of you
wanna have an accident,
make sure you do it
right here in Stepford.
- OK, pull it on out.
- Six minutes. Can you beat that?
Well, I guess that's
the friendliest accident I ever saw.
- You know...
- What?
We may be new here,
but isn't Stepford Hospital that way?
Oh, no, no, no, you're wrong. It...
No, no...
You're not wrong. The ambulance
went that way, didn't it?
Mommy.
Mommy.
What is it?
What is it, sweetie?
I think Teddy's gonna cry all night.
Oh, no, look.
- He's happy. Lookit.
- No, that's his unhappy face.
He doesn't like it here.
He's gonna be crying all night.
- What do you think has upset him?
- He doesn't like this room.
Oh, yes, he does.
He told me he loves it here.
He loves the quiet.
He's thinking about all the honey
he can get out in the trees here.
He told me he liked it even better
than Central Park
because he can take walks
by
