I knew I shouldn't
have worn three-inch heels.
I kept sinking into the grass
during the eulogy.
Manny. There you are.
How you doing, sweetie?
There's just so much to say.
Annie looked so gorgeous...
laid out with all those flowers
around her.
It just looked like
she was taking a nap.
We bought that dress together.
She said she didn't have
any place to wear it.
Where's Molly?
She's probably in her room.
I better go.
Check, see how she's doing.
Doris, I can't believe you.
Where's my head?
So what's the matter?
Everybody on a hunger strike
or something?
Eve, I was just having
one of yourfamous cookies.
Fabulous. They're not too sweet.
Two cups sugarfor a wedding...
one cup for a funeral...
and today I used half a cup.
It seemed right.
Easy on that strudel, Harry.
Mollinchka.
You try that apricot Bundt cake?
The only thing I haven't eaten
is the tablecloth.
Poor kid.
Thank goodness she's so young.
If she's lucky,
she won't remember.
Don't tell me I lost Harry.
Mollinchka.
What are you doing, my darling?
Come here.
I'll see you, Dad.
OK. Bus is leaving.
All right. Here we go.
All right. OK.
Sid, give me the duck.
Give me the duck. I'm sorry.
I just miss Annie already.
Shirl, please, huh?
OK, OK. I love you sweetie, OK?
Good-bye, princess.
You'll give us a call?
Hon, please. Take care, old man.
You'll call?
Say good-bye
to Grandma and Grandpa.
Don't you want to wear
the matching top?
Want me to sing you
a lullaby?
What was the song
that Mommy sang to you?
How does that go?
Want to teach me a lullaby
to sing to you every night?
Here's a fun one.
Oh, the coffee
that they give you
They say it's mighty fine
It's goodfor cuts and bruises
And tastes like iodine
Oh, I don't want no more
of army life
Gee, Mom, I wanna go
Gee...
We're going to be fine, Molly.
Justfine, you and me.
I'm glad to see
your smilingface.
I haven't gotten lamb chop
to smile all day.
Salisbury steak...
for madame...
and veal parmigiana for me.
There you go.
Look, Molly.
Tater tots.
Yourfaves.
Mmm. Very good, very good.
You want to get that?
I didn't think so.
And a sore throat.
Hey, hi, Sid.
I'm not ready
to come back to work quite yet.
I have some people
coming by tomorrow...
that might stay with Molly
so I can leave.
I will have had my breakfast...
and I assume
the child will have had hers.
At noon, a brisk walk...
followed by two hours
of Bible study.
Where is the child?
lfeel like Sophia Loren
in "Houseboat..."
when she meets
the widowed Cary Grant...
and selflessly gives herself
to his family.
Did you see it?
I know what it's like...
to lose someone
close to your heart.
I understand.
Winnie and I,
we both understand.
I'm so tired.
And I'm not tired?
Kids.
Oh, I love kids.
I have a real way
with children.
And no windows!
I get very nervous.
If I put my head down
between my legs, I'll be better.
I realize it's your decision...
but I also sing.
Won't you come home,
Bill Bailey?
Won't you come home?
Kids love that.
Kids love me, Mr. Singer.
I walk into a room
full of kids...
they drift to me...
like a goddamn kid magnet.
Uh, let's see.
I'm not sure where to begin.
Well, Mr. Jones died...
and we never had any children...
and believe me...
I would treat
your little Molly...
with all the love
and tenderness...
I'd have given my own.
OK, sweetpea.
some breakfast.
What might be good?
What's the matter?
Cat got your tongue?
Jonesy's famous pancakes
will loosen you up.
Just making sure
we got all the makings.
Oh, boy. Aren't we havingfun?
It's for after work.
Thanks.
She's been playing
Maybe you could
talk to her about that.
Her mother
was teaching her that.
Hide-and-seek noodle casserole.
Peekaboo.
This is just the first course.
Looks fabulous.
The other courses...
they're hidden
throughout the room.
I'm just kidding.
Chicken Marengo.
That looks fabulous.
Doesn't it, Mol?
I bet your wife
wasn't this good a cook.
You think? Huh?
No, it is perfectly
all right, Mr. Singer.
Kids sometimes go through
a very tough time.
Why don't you just...
No, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
Just...
Justfinish your...
What are you doing?
I'm doing everything
a wife does.
Shouldn't I be getting
everything a wife gets?
Hello, kid.
My name's Corrina.
I bet you're Molly.
I hear you don't like talking
much these days...
but that's all right with me...
because it makes my job
a lot easier.
Nice wheels.
When would you like me to start?
Why don't you have a seat here?
I thought we would talk a bit.
Talk. All right.
How long have you lived
in the house?
Three years.
Do you have any references...
Have you had maids before?
My wife used to take care
of everything.
So you're a beginner.
Let's get some things straight.
Yes, let's.
Salary does not
include supplies...
Excuse me.
Did the agency explain to you...
that this is just an interview?
Look, Mr. Singer,
what shall we discuss?
Children. I was wondering...
if you had any experience
with children.
You know, I met your little girl
out there.
She's got your eyes.
Do you have any references?
Do you have a rsum
or anything?
Thanks.
"Professor Louise Gordon.
"Fisk University."
How long were you with her?
Four years.
What happened then?
I graduated.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mr. Singer.
That's OK.
Well, if you had some glue...
I'm really good at gluing.
I could just glue it.
I mean, I could just
snap this back together.
No. I'll take care of it.
Thanks for coming by.
Mr. Singer,
I'm having a really bad day...
and I'm sure you know
what that's like.
I really need this job.
Thanks for coming by.
I'll let you know.
Where is my music?
Not in the refrigerator,
that's for sure.
Iforgot.
You'll have to do a marketing.
We're going to need...
We'll need, um...
I noticed there's a list
started there.
Yeah, it's my wife's writing.
I haven't wanted to...
Well, I'll just add on
from there.
You and Corrina
are going to go shopping...
for some breakfast
and pick up some other things.
The keys to my wife's car
are on the dresser.
Do you know how to drive?
I'm an old pro.
I was just testing the brakes.
It'll do your heart good
to know they're fine.
I made a slight booboo...
which I hope you won't
tell yourfather about.
But you won't
because you don't talk.
You're the short, silent type,
aren't you?
Oh, here she comes.
A hip-hap-hoppy
good morning to you.
Welcome to Terry's Diner.
So glad you came that extra mile
for breakfast with a smile.
I'll be right there!
So, what'll it be for starters?
I need a cup
of your strongest coffee.
Would you like a hot cocoa?
Pecan waffles?
What about the Slim Starter?
Ladies, I ain't got all day.
Wilma, where's your boss?
He's inside.
Why don't you slip
into the backseat.
I got to talk to my friend here.
