Corrina, Corrina Page #2

I know what

you're going through.

I used to do this.

Come on in.

OK. Just a minute.

She's coming over the side.

You in?

All right. You all right?

Molly, I understand

that you don't want to talk.

I know you have your reasons.

But we have to figure out

a way to communicate...

so if I ask you something

and the answer is yes...

pat your nose like that.

Then I'll know.

If the answer is no,

don't do anything.

Do you want to have

the pecan waffles...

with lots and lots of syrup

and butter?

All right.

That's good, what you're doing.

Would you rather have

the Slim Starter...

with cottage cheese...

the hard-boiled egg,

and the tomato?

Honey, if it's a choice

between those pecan waffles...

and that stupid egg...

for God sakes,

pat your little nose.

Good try, Wilma.

Ah! She did it! She did it!

Mr. Potato Head.

Mr. Potato Head.

Mister...

Potato Head...

Was alone in his bed.

I love it.

I love it.

Mr. Potato Head,

the untold story.

Sid, I have

a great opening here.

I tried, uh...

I'm with you. Come on.

I know how hard it's been.

We're in this together, OK?

I appreciate that. Thanks.

Absolutely.

Imagine how hard

things would be...

if the job got shaky.

What do you mean?

Did someone say something?

- Absolutely not.

- Sid, tell me.

Once. Maybe a couple times.

It's always said

very affectionately...

at least to me.

I say the old Manny Singer's

going to be back.

They say when?

And I say any day now.

They say great.

It'll be your job, too.

It's all very positive feedback.

Sunglasses

Yeah, we bought some sunglasses

'Cause sunglasses

Protect our eyes from the sun

You look good.

Sunglasses

Anybody want some more?

Anybody want any?

No, no, no. It's good.

Just a little more spice

than we're used to.

It was just

to bring out the flavor.

It's good.

It's just, you know, a little...

Spicy. Yeah.

Ya-da da da da da

You can make him funny

Or you can make him sunny

He's Mr. Potato Head

Oh, yes, it's true he's lumpy

OK, he's kind of dumpy

He's not a French fry

He's the potato to buy

Did you like it?

You think my boss

is going to like it?

Maybe the iambic pentameter's

off just a bit.

Yes, it's true he's lumpy

OK, he's kind of dumpy

Now, you thought

that was clunky, didn't you?

Just knew we were in sync.

lambic pentameter.

Where do you want it?

Sorry. I think you have

the wrong address.

Why don't I just talk

to Mrs. Singer?

She's, um...

She's in the bathtub right now.

I bet if you're on

the inside of a maraca...

that's what it would sound like.

Excuse me, but I'm ticklish.

Stop that!

Oh, wait.

I hate to impose...

but could you give me

a little help?

I can't do this last one

on my own.

Ah! You know,

the first time I saw you...

I knew you had this magic.

Here's another one.

Give me a hand.

Well done.

I think your dad's

really going to like...

this present you picked out.

We have to emphasize

that you picked it out yourself.

Hey, Molly, it's time to eat.

Come on, and bring Lois.

Would you like to be

queen for a day?

What do you listen

to this garbage for?

Why are you watching this?

Queen for a day.

I knew a guy in my neighborhood,

wanted to be queen for a day.

You know what happened to him?

Her husband was killed

in the Air Force.

She has three children.

She'd like a trained dog

to ease her mind.

My husband's gone, too.

That doesn't make me a queen,

does it?

Ladies and gentlemen...

we've heard

from all of our contestants.

Is it going to be Lois?

Numberfive! Queen for a day!

Yes! Yes, Lois! Queen Lois!

All I askedfor was a dog...

and look what I'm getting.

I want to thank

everyone out there...

everyone

who made this possible...

Lois made a sissy on the couch.

You know what I think, Molly?

I think your mom's looking down

at youfrom heaven right now.

And if you look

really closely...

I'll bet you'll see

she's waving.

I really appreciate

everything you're doing here...

and whatever you believe in

is fine.

OK, your heaven is fine for you.

Molly's mother was an atheist

and so am I.

I don't want you telling her...

she's somewhere she isn't, OK?

Yes, Mr. Singer.

I'll just continue to tell Molly

her mother's in the bathtub.

Did you ever undress

in front of a dog?

What's the matter, sweetie?

Can't sleep?

Did you have a bad dream?

You OK?

How about I break out

some graham crackers...

and we'll sit

and watch the late-late show...

till youfall asleep, OK?

Don't hit your nose.

I'll go get the stuff.

A recent report

from the Surgeon General...

links cigarette smoking

to lung cancer.

Statistics show that one

out of every ten male smokers...

will die from lung cancer.

Meanwhile,

in Washington today...

President Eisenhower announced

that he'll...

Here you go, Mol.

...fact-finding tour

to South America.

The vice president will visit

Venezuela, Argentina...

Molly, what... what are you doing?

Molly, look...

Cigarettes are for adults.

I'll get you

bubblegum cigarettes tomorrow.

Molly, stop it!

Now, what's the matter?

I really feel

like I should stay.

Well, it's your house.

I just can't be late

for this meeting. l...

Then you better go.

You know what it is?

Mr. Potato Head's

in from Trenton.

I can't be late.

Really? The Mr. P?

The one and only.

You better get

your heinie going.

Yeah. I'm gone. Bye.

All right, well...

Bye. Thanks.

You know what I discovered

about your dad?

He likes to eat cookies in bed.

Can you get that cornerfor me?

Just pull it down, right there...

The white one.

Thank you.

Malamutes or whatever

they call those things...

they look like little humps.

This is where my mommy sleeps.

You're right.

Your mommy used to sleep here.

When's she coming back?

You know, Molly, I...

She's not coming home...

because when you die...

the angels

take you up to heaven.

Well, then I want to die, too.

Now, darling,

you don't want to die.

It's too soon.

Was I bad?

No. People don't die

because you're bad.

They die

because it's their time.

Lots of things happen...

but no, you...

You were not bad at all.

You're wonderful.

And think of all the people

who are here now who love you.

They'd be so sad and upset

if you went.

And your daddy loves you.

He really needs you, too.

But my dad doesn't think

she's in heaven.

Well, maybe deep down

inside he does...

and he's just so jealous

of those angels...

who get to play

with your mommy every day...

he just can't bring himself

to say so.

'Cause he's hurting,

like you're hurting.

And you're going to hurt

for a long time.

Every day it will get

a little bit better...

but you'll always miss

your mommy, and that's OK.

You know the other thing?

How many of the thirty-one

flavors have you tasted?

Chocolate and vanilla.

Well, that's my point.

That is my point.

No one should go anywhere

until they've tried...

mint on the rocks

and cherries jubilee

and bing bang cherry.

So much for you to do.
