m gonna walk him
around the bathroom.
You just keep doing
whatever you're doing.
I'm very fond of you.
Well, I'm fond of you too.
Fred!
Freddie. Wanna go for a walk?
Fine, Walter, just fine.
Fred.
Fred.
Come on back here now.
Don't give me a hard time!
Fred!
Fred.
Fred. Come here.
Sorry about that, lady.
I really didn't mean to frighten you.
- Oh, it's Mrs Eberhart.
- Yes. And you did frighten me.
Once again, Mrs Eberhart,
my apologies.
But this is a pretty quiet town.
Lot of very nice houses, like your own.
People have valuable things.
We have to be careful.
You see that old mansion
over there?
- It's a landmark building.
- I didn't know that.
Some railroad tycoon built it in 1870.
Before the Men's Association
took it over, it was a wreck.
Now the Association's got
a restoration committee
to try and fix up what was ruined,
so we have to be very careful.
We can't let people
just walk around at night.
One of the reasons I moved
from the city
was so I could walk around at night.
Well, certainly, you and Fred
can walk around at night.
But I'd stick a little closer to home.
Really, Mrs Eberhart, this isn't the
best place for you to wander around.
I see.
- Thank you. Good night.
- Good night.
Come on, Ed, let me drive.
You're in no fit state, OK?
All right?
Thattaboy.
Just lie back and relax.
Feel OK?
Good.
All right. Here we go.
Joanna.
Joanna. Come over here.
Come over here.
- Hi, dear.
- That's lovely, honey.
All right, ladies?
Got everything you want?
- Oh, yes, thanks.
- Have a good day.
Thanks so much.
- I was trying to tell you.
- Yes, what was that about?
- That was Frank.
- Frank?
The house. Remember?
That was Frank.
And that was Mrs Frank.
- "God, there, Frank, yes."
- Oh, I remember.
I remember. God.
Now, how about that
for our Stepford twosome.
- Oh, God, yes. Wait a minute.
- OK.
We're going the wrong way.
I have to go this way.
- Cleaners.
- Yes.
- Hi.
- On the other side.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Have you heard?
Just spreading like wildfire.
A black family's moving into town.
Think that's good?
I think it's good.
Well, I don't know if I think it's good
so much as I think it's natural,
considering, well,
I mean, after all,
we are the most liberal town around.
- Stepford?
- Liberal?
Well, sure.
We have the first Chinese restaurant
in Fairfield County.
Ah, yes.
And we had the first women's club
to ask any of those liberation ladies
to come lecture.
- There are no women's clubs here.
- There was.
I went to a meeting once.
There must have been
50 of us there.
Well, where the hell are they?
Some of them moved away,
but I guess most of them
just plain got bored.
I know I did.
There we are. Off you go.
We disbanded, oh,
years ago. We weren't
accomplishing anything useful.
You mean useful
like doing housework?
I like to see my home looking nice.
Look, we found this at the library.
Listen, Carol, it says you were
president of that club.
I only took the post
because nobody else would.
Please explain to me what you're into.
Is it enough?
Well, enough for me maybe is
not enough for you, Joanna, but...
Well, you see, Ted's doing really well
in his scientific research now,
and I give him a good home.
I really think that helps.
The kids are doing the best
they've ever done in school,
and I'm here all the time. I...
Well, I know that helps too.
I'm really off the booze,
and God knows that's better.
It's none of your business,
but our sex life is better too.
Look, I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but I'm happy.
I'm happy.
You know,
maybe we're the crazy ones.
Don't say that. We're not.
- You sure?
- We're fine.
OK.
We are fine.
- Hi.
- How'd it go?
What? Oh, well, he hated them.
I must say, I was inclined to agree.
I don't know what made me take them.
But still...
Did the girls bring Fred over
when they came?
Not that I know of.
Oh, shoot.
And he has no license, nothing.
Can I leave
