in about fifteen minutes.

You all right?

What, Margo? What's the matter?

Is Bill the problem?

No, I'm the problem.

I've been having nightmares.

And awful...

they don't ever stop.

Hey, do me a favor

and don't touch me, OK?

It's just the way I feel

right now.

I'm sorry.

I can't help it.

May I have this dance?

Do you mind waiting

for the next one, Howard?

Well, I'd like to cut in now,

if you don't mind.

Next one, Howard, huh?

How come you think

you're better than me?

I don't.

You know, you always have.

You always have.

Easy, Howard, easy.

What do you think

you're taking it, a**hole?

Just back off, huh, will you?

Back off.

You'd never go out with me,

would you?

You just didn't think

I was good enough, did you?

Did you? You slut!

Jennifer!

You never felt real pain,

have you, Jennifer?

You want to see real pain?

Howard, you can go home now.

If it gives you any trouble,

call me.

Otherwise,

I'll see you in two weeks.

OK. Thank you very much,

Dr. Carr.

You, too, doctor.

Life can be so sweet

On the sunny side of the street

There's a place.

You pig! You pig!

That's my parking place!

God, I think I took her spot.

Hey, I'm sorry. I'll move out.

Hey, relax! Just relax!

-I said I'd move!

-Look out!

Move!

Lucky it's no more

than a concussion.

How did it happen?

It was unbelievable. She just...

she kept ramming into us.

Think this could be a variant

of Tourette's syndrome?

I doubt it.

The development's way too fast.

No, thank you.

There's no facial twitching...

and as far as we know,

no genetic history.

What are you talking about?

That this could be

some kind of a disease.

It's as if the censor

in people has disappeared...

so they're acting on

any urge that comes along...

instead of censoring out

the unacceptable ones.

You ever get mad when

someone took your parking place?

Well, sure,

but I don't go around sma...

But that's crazy.

That's just crazy.

There's one thing

to be said for all this.

It gives us something to do

besides shuffling bedpans.

There's something wrong

with the phones.

I've been getting busy signals

all morning.

The door's locked. It doesn't

look like there's anybody here.

Well, that's strange.

It's Emmy Jones' shift.

She hasn't missed a day

in thirty years.

Watch out.

The main line must be down.

What the hell's going on?

Won't find anything wrong

with this water.

I'd let my three-year-old

daughter drink it.

You don't mind

if I test it anyway, do you?

Help yourself.

I told you. I'd let

my three-year-old drink it.

Something wrong, Margaret?

What did you say, Margaret?

No.

I couldn't quite hear you.

Dr. Carr.

Right away.

-Hi, Shawn. Where's your mom?

-Out.

Her car's in the garage, Shawn.

You don't fool me.

Why aren't you in school?

Margo?

Upstairs!

I brought you some candy.

You feeling any better today?

Sure. Thanks.

Now, hold still.

Put your finger there.

Not you, Jennifer.

-What happened?

-Jimmy sprained his wrist.

Broke it.

It's sprained. I told you.

Now take a hike.

It's been a bad morning.

-I got to do the kids' rooms.

-You OK?

Of course I'm OK.

Why wouldn't I be OK?

You left last night without

saying anything, and we were...

I'm fine.

God damn it, no.

-Shawn! Shawn!

-What?

I told you

to clean up your room!

I wish

they'd clean up their rooms.

Is that unreasonable?

Is that asking too much?

I want to talk to you.

If it's bad news,

I don't want to hear it.

I've got enough problems

with Jimmy's broken wrist.

I thought he sprained it.

Well, he did sprain it.

-That's what I said.

-No, you said...

What are you asking me

about his wrist for?

What difference does it make?

Margo, please, calm down.

Let's talk, OK?

Well, then

what'd you start for?

You're the one that started

talking about it.

-What are you looking at?

-What happened, Margo?

Tell me how Jimmy

broke his wrist.

Never mind.

Tell me how Jimmy

broke his wrist.

Why do you keep asking me that?

-Why are you yelling at me?

-I said never mind!

Mind your own f***ing business!

Kids, come on. I want you

all to come with me.

Come on.

Get in the car. I'm going

to take you to my place.

Come on, let's go!

Jimmy, come on!

You can ride in the front.

Hurry up. Get in.

Shawn, get in.

You think that's funny?

That what you've done

is a joke?

What made you do

such a stupid thing?

Come on, tell me!

They let all the air

out of my tires.

You think it's easy

having kids?

Little sh*t.

F*** it.

Open the door, you little brats!

Somebody please help me!

Margo, help!

Margo, please help!

Margo, please!

Oh, God.

Come on.

Please, come on.

Come on.

Jesus Christ!

Bye! Come back again!

That's your way of saying

"Good afternoon," Margaret?

It's not very attractive,

if you want the truth.

Still need a bedpan, Margaret?

No, no, we're way past that...

way past that.

Dr. Carr?

Mama?

Take two of these now

and then one every four hours.

They'll help you rest.

I'm only giving you six.

They're very strong.

Bob will be fine.

I told him just

take it easy for a while.

Doctor, may I speak with you

for a minute?

Now, what about the autopsy?

It's as I feared. Bob said no.

He wants Margaret

buried in peace.

I don't think he understands

how important this is.

We can't do a goddamn thing

without those tissue samples.

It's against Bob and Margaret's

religious principles.

I just don't see any point...

in putting them through

all this, do you?

We have got to have them.

I think we've about covered it,

doctor.

Isn't he ever going to leave?

Let's go in anyway.

You think

you ought to wait outside?

I need some help. Get me

some test tubes with the labels.

-You better not watch.

-I can handle it.

Christ. She's cyanotic.

-What?

-No oxygen.

She died of lack of oxygen.

The respirator must've stopped.

No. It was still running.

I heard it.

Jenny.

We're leaving.

What about him?

We're taking him with us.

I hope this constant smoking

isn't offending anyone.

I'd stop if I could.

What will they do with me?

Legally, I don't know...

but, medically,

you're our best chance.

Finish my days as a specimen?

Sounds exciting.

Don't get carried away.

Somebody sure has been busy.

They don't want anybody

coming or going.

I swear I seen him

come down this way.

-Sheriff!

-Not now. I'm busy.

There he is!

Sheriff, wait!

Please, wait!

Wonderful singing, Ed.

I can't tell you

how much I appreciate...

what you've done, John.

Margaret loved this church.

Well, Margaret

was a wonderful person, Bob.

We all share your loss.

Look out!

Jesus Christ!

I'm going to teach

that little bastard...

-not to crack parking meters.

-Sheriff!

Sheriff!

Sheriff, who the f***

you think you are?

I didn't work all my life...

just to watch some goddamn

son of a b*tch destroy my store.

You a**hole. I'm going

to blow your f***ing head off.

A**hole?

-Watch out!

-That was a good one!

Dad!

Well, nothing's wrong here.

Sh*t.
