...in every way.

Here's to you, Mr. Keefer.

If you wanna do anything

about it, I'll be outside.

I'm a lot drunk er than you are,

so it'll be a fair fight.

Humphrey Bogart week

will continue on KKHY...

...after these

important messages.

Dial 1-800-Loan-Yes.

Did you enter

the car insurance bill?

Ellen, come. Ellen, come on.

Come into the den. Good girl.

What a shocker, huh?

Come in.

It's okay.

- We're not gonna stay.

- We could stay for a minute.

We can't do right by this baby.

Lucy says you once loved him.

Is that still true?

Yes. That's still true.

- You wanna see his little room?

- We've been through this, Lucy.

We're staying at the same motel.

We'll wait until you send us

the papers, then we'll sign them.

- I gotta go to the bathroom.

- Lucy!

He belongs here.

Read it for him.

Read it for yourself if you want.

And tell him I loved him.

You know, if he ever asks.

Dear William...

This is the hardest day of my life...

...because in a few hours,

you and I will say goodbye.

I don't expect you to understand

what I'm doing.

Someday, I hope you can.

And I sure don't expect you

to forgive me.

But someday, I hope you will.

I thought I could be a proper mother

for you now, but I was wrong.

And I was wrong about Sam

being ready to be a dad.

But tonight, for the first time

in a lot of months...

...I'm sure I'm doing right.

This way, I know you'll get

the love and care you deserve.

And I know Michael and Linda

will be wonderful parents...

...now that they have the baby

they dreamed of.

I hope Sam and me

will find our way too...

...because we're good people.

And in my heart, I really feel

that God will love us all.

Bye, Willy.

Okay, okay. Now we're okay.

No! Hold on.

Lucy.

Five minutes, okay?
