No, give it gas... No, give it gas!
Put your foot on the gas pedal.
Uh... Okay.
Miss Lapp, why are you
taking your driver's test
on a car that has a stick shift?
I'm sorry. It's my girlfriend's car.
She ain't no friend.
Okay, now...
Now turn up here.
Where are you going?
You can't go this way!
Oh!
I have right of way. Ain't so?
Not ain't so when you're going
the wrong way down a one-way street!
Hey, come on, lady.
What are you doing?
Come on, move your car!
Katie, order's up.
Here's your change.
Two cheeseburgers.
Thank you, dear.
I hope everything tasted wonderful gut.
Yeah, it was amazing gut.
I know, right?
Oh, wow.
I think I left my wallet in the car.
Is it okay if I run out and grab it quick?
Yeah, that's no problem.
Okay, good.
I'll be right back. Thanks.
Hello, is this
Is this Laura Bennett?
I'm Katie Lapp.
You don't know any Katie Lapps.
The owner says you letting that jerk
walk off without paying
is coming out of your paycheck.
Did you tell him he said
he'd be right back,
that he just left his wallet in the car?
It's called the dine-and-dash.
You're too trusting, Katie.
Alexis, where I come from,
people keep their word.
What have I been telling you ever
since you started working here?
You can't be gullible.
You're not in Hickory Farms
anymore.
Hollow. Hickory Hollow.
Whatever.
Look, maybe in Amishland
people are good to their word
but everywhere else,
Englishers are liars and thieves.
And the sooner you accept that,
the better off you'll be.
Any luck?
Not yet.
How many Laura Bennetts
in New York can there be?
A lot.
Break's over in five minutes,
okay?
Where are you, Laura?
I need to find you.
While you delayed surgery
for the tumor on your spine,
the cancer was quietly spreading
elsewhere.
I've had three top oncologists
consulting with me on this.
The tumors are both supratentorial
and glioblastoma multiforme.
So it's not over?
I'm afraid it's much worse.
That doesn't make
any sense.
She's been fine since the surgery.
Yes, but unfortunately these
cancers can turn at a moment's notice.
Other than all of a sudden I have to wear
these silly things to read a menu...
At least one of the tumors has
worked its way to the optic nerve.
So how long do I have?
It's a very aggressive cancer, Laura.
Weeks.
Maybe months. It's hard to say.
Wait, wait, wait.
What, that's it?
Other than my eyes failing,
what else can I expect
to happen to me?
Probably your balance first.
Then muscle weakness.
Then your memory
and speech will go.
Everything will escalate
rapidly at the end.
Okey-dokey.
Well, as much as I would like to
stay and talk about tumors,
I've got to get back to living.
Thank you.
Laura, what are you doing?
I'm not leaving. Not today.
Laura, stop it!
Let go.
No!
Stop it! I need you
to get your life together.
I know what you need me to do,
but I need to be here with you.
We need to fight this together,
beat this together.
Did you hear Dr. Stein?
My problem is terminal, yours is not.
Look, I know you want me to get help,
and I promised I would,
but not today, please, Laura.
No. No more delays.
Besides, I need
some time alone to think.
To make decisions.
Okay.
I love you, you know.
I know. I love you too.
Fresh pot,
brewed especially for you.
Hey.
- You want anything?
- Uh...
Thank you, no. I won't be long.
Well, if you need me, just whistle.
Or I'll be back.
I'm real good with accents.
All right, two shots. One
on the rocks, one straight up.
You don't have it,
do you?
There's a lot
going on right now.
Well, we want our money.
I just need a little more time
to raise the capital, that's all.
Capital? You played
the ponies and lost, Bennett.
It's a gambling debt,
not some investment.
Your wife,
she's old money, right?
Get it from her.
I can't.
I promised her I was done with this.
Ah, come on.
You know? Shake her
for the money and then,
I don't know,
go get counseling or something.
That's where
I'm supposed to be now.
At the best Manhattan therapist
money can buy.
Fifty K, end of the month.
And, uh, what if I can't get it?
It's not the '60s, Dylan.
We don't kneecap people anymore.
We have lawyers now.
Yeah.
But I can guarantee you this:
We will tap your wife
for the money,
one way or another.
All right.
Good talk, huh?
You want a refill?
No, thank you.
Gin and tonic, please.
Double.
A spoonful of sugar
helps the medicine go down, right? Heh.
Let me guess, Alyson.
A chronically
underemployed actor
waiting to make it big
on Broadway?
How did you know that?
Honey, come on. I'm in a sports
bar in the middle of Manhattan
movie lines to the customers.
I mean, how predictable
can you be?
You think you know my life?
Juggling three jobs
so I can pursue my dream.
Um...
Uh... Listen, um...
It's okay. I...
Alyson, that's your name, right?
Um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to offend you. Okay?
Could have won a Tony
with that performance, huh?
I'll be right back with your drink, love.
What about
the Amish marmalade?
We ran out.
She's not going to like that.
She loves her Amish marmalade.
You don't need to lecture me,
Fulton Taylor.
I know what she likes
better than you do.
I'd have to agree with that.
Would you like me to bring the car
around for you?
No, thank you. My appointment
will be here any minute.
I'll serve your breakfast
in the parlor, then.
Just tea this morning, Fulton.
I'm not very hungry.
Besides, there's no
Amish marmalade.
I'm so sorry, Mrs. Mayfield.
Rosie.
No.
It's okay. It's okay.
Forgive me. I know that.
I've been praying for God
to heal you.
He will, on this side or the other.
Speaking of this side, Fulton,
I hope we haven't lost
any momentum
in the preparations
for my annual foundation dinner.
Uh, ma'am, we assumed you might
want to postpone, considering...
No, not at all.
Selig, you have two weeks
to outdo yourself with this menu.
Spare no expense.
Yes, ma'am.
I want this event to be bigger
and better than ever.
This is my chance to outlive myself.
I'll do my best.
So that's my decision.
Of course we'll make
the changes, Laura.
But I prefer to think that you're going
to be with us for a long time yet.
I appreciate that, Harold.
But I can't leave this
to wishful thinking.
Everything goes
to the foundation.
I understand.
Mrs. Bennett,
I'm a little confused.
What about
your husband?
Justin, you've done such a wonderful
job running the foundation
which is why you're here.
And I don't want to hide anything
from you.
I'm grateful for the trust
you've placed in me.
Mr. Yates,
over the past several months,
I have learned that not only
has he liquidated all his stocks,
cashed in
his personal retirement plan,
but borrowed against my estate.
I do love my husband,
but I am not going to lose the estate
my grandparents worked so hard for,
