afraid so.
Oh, no. Walter, tell him.
I'm just awful on names.
You'll have to forgive me.
I used to gawk at all those girls
in those magazines.
You blighted my adolescence,
you know that.
I thought I blighted your adolescence.
I can't get over this.
- Is this for me?
- Keep it.
Keep it? I'll insure it.
Thank you so much.
My pleasure.
- Here you are, lke.
- Thanks.
See what you missed.
Oh. Oh, yeah, it's...
It's... It's very good
around the eyes, you...
You've been a long time.
I'm just clearing up some things.
I just can't stand to come down in the
morning to a bunch of filthy ashtrays.
What do you think?
Nice bunch of guys, huh?
You serious?
You have to be kidding.
You wouldn't have given those bores
the time of day back in Manhattan.
I mean, OK.
I was pleased to get this,
and he was quite sweet. But the rest...
- Well, I don't happen to agree.
- Walter, you must agree.
My God, they're worse
than your senior partners.
New Projects committee. They ought
to start by working on themselves.
- Well, that's your opinion.
- Well, of course it's my opinion.
Who else sat there?
Where's your sense of humour?
They were dummies.
I mean, take el presidente,
that graduate of Disneyland.
Well, he just happens to be a Ph.D.
From Berkeley.
He runs a multimillion-dollar
corporation.
What do they make, sleeping pills?
Look, this isn't me,
and what you're saying isn't you.
- You're putting me on.
- No.
No. I...
Look, this... This is Stepford.
It's not New York or...
These are the people we have to
live with and... And they suit me.
- Yeah, they really are.
- I gotta go see...
- You gonna be around later?
- Yeah.
OK. Bye-bye.
- Got a drink there?
- Oh, I'm fine. Thanks.
Yeah? Sure?
Yeah. Hey, listen, Marie. You want
to go for a swim later? Marie, huh?
- Oh, yes. I'd love that, Dale.
- OK. All right.
- Thank you very much.
- All right.
- I haven't forgotten your...
- Where's my wife?
Where is your wife?
- Hi, Walter.
- Hey, Dis. How are you?
I'm fine. How are you?
Good to see you.
- Yeah.
- Hey, good to see you.
Ed is having a hell of a time down
there with Bobby.
- Give him a hand, will you?
- OK, sure. We'll go down
and give him a hand.
Get some drinks down to the pool
right away. Come on.
Over there, there's some kids
you can play with.
Can you believe all this?
For a bachelor, old Dis
must be quite a catch.
What do you say we go home
and change?
Like put on a fancy dress?
Absolutely not.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Fine, thank you.
- Lovely party.
- Yes.
Did you get a look at the food?
How about photographing it
for a Save the Children poster?
Like Walter says, it's all so dazzling.
Why don't I like it?
I mean, I like it. It's perfect.
How could you not like it?
I just don't like it.
Am I making any sense?
- Well, hi, you two.
- Hi.
You want to come
and meet some people?
Why not? We're not proud.
Oh, you haven't got a drink.
I must get you a drink.
Good shot.
- All right, who's first here?
- And a medium well.
- Don't use the tongs.
- No, that's right. Use that, will you?
- This is the Wimpiris way.
- What is that? Is that medium?
That's a medium. This is a rare.
Rare.
I'll just die if I don't get this recipe.
Want another well...?
You want a well-done?
Well, I told you to move them over.
Move them over toward the centre.
I'll just die if I don't get this recipe.
I'll just die if I don't get this recipe.
- Walter?
- Yes?
- Take over, will you?
- OK.
How many of these have you had?
Don't you know
you can't handle this stuff?
Don't you remember
what this stuff does to you?
I'll just die if I don't get this recipe.
Why the hell do you do this
in public?
Come on.
We'll just go and get a little coffee.
Well, it was this problem I had,
you see. I...
I couldn't handle it.
It was out of control.
I guess that's one of the reasons
Ted moved us to Stepford. The...
The drinking was getting so bad,
