for breakfast.

Daddy likes pimiento cheese.

- Give me some air.

- Something's wrong.

Where do you think Kate went, anyway?

- Snuck up on us, didn't it?

- Let's go.

It looks like it's gonna piss down.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, sh*t.

Get your gun.

Oh, sh*t, my gun,

my gun, my gun.

- Get in the damn car.

- You're gonna get Lucille wet.

That's all right.

I like my women wet.

Maybe that's why she can't hit a barn.

You of all people got something

against wet women?

You know, certain Indian tribes say...

...if a woman's all wet the first time

you see her it's bad luck.

- You think that's true?

- It's pure horse sh*t.

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, my God!

Where'd that come from?

Look at you.

- Sorry I'm getting your carpet wet.

- It's just carpet. It'll dry.

Yeah, it's raining.

Rain'll make you wet.

Yes, it will.

Is Harlan here?

No, Harlan said he was gonna be

hunting all day.

- Hunting?

- That's what he said.

- Can we help you?

- I'm Bree Davis.

- I'm Randy.

- How are you?

You're the new golf pro chick.

I'm the new assistant golf pro chick.

Wow, Bree. That's one

interesting name.

Is it Brie like the cheese or...

No. It's Bree like breed,

without the "d."

This'll wake your soul right up.

It's rain! It is raining!

Be careful, there's puddles.

You are so sweet to bring me back.

- It's okay, Peggy.

- I love this!

Soaking wet!

Girls!

Mommy's back!

Wait till you see. Look at me.

We got caught in the rain, Maria.

I'm gonna get you all wet.

Oh, little fairies.

- Where's Mom?

- I thought she was with you.

Has she called?

Is there someplace I can put this?

Yeah, yeah. There's some cubbyholes

back there in the back.

Throw it there, that'd be fine.

- Who is that guy?

- That guy?

That's Harvey Penick.

He's a famous golf guy.

I know who he is. Who's that?

Dr. Travis. He's one of our members.

He's been here a long time.

What kind of doctor is he?

He's the lucky kind.

It is coming down, man!

It's good to see you. How are you?

- I'm getting you wet.

- That's okay.

- I thought you were coming tomorrow.

- I was, but I just kept driving.

Let me get out of these things. This

is Bree Davis, the new assistant pro.

- How are you?

- I'm all wet, how you doing?

- I'm gonna change.

- Hi. I'm Bree.

Sully Travis. Nice to meet you.

Are you Dr. Travis?

Yeah, or Dr. T.

Most people just call me Dr. T.

Well, it's very nice to meet you,

Dr. T.

- You said your name was Bree?

- Not like the cheese.

- B-R-E-E like breed or...

- Breech.

Without the "c-h."

I never heard that, but sure.

How'd you know I'm a doctor?

I looked at your picture and thought

you looked familiar, so I asked.

That is out of control!

I met my first girlfriend

at a pool party when I was 16.

Soaking wet, she was.

And I swear, within a week

I started losing my hair.

You guys are crazy.

Superstition is for the unimaginative.

My imagination knows a mare's nest

when it sees one.

- What's a mare's nest?

- Like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

- Wet clothing, in her case.

- You know your problem?

- Who, me?

- All of you.

You don't understand women.

Women are incapable of being bad luck

by themselves.

It's men who make them that way.

Women are, by nature, they are saints.

They're sacred, and should be

treated as such.

The lady, the new golf lady.

The cheese...

She's outside. She said she wants

to talk to you. It's important.

Well, hello again, Bree.

I'm getting singles for liar's poker,

you want some?

- So what's up?

- Your wife called.

Did she say what she wanted?

It actually wasn't your wife.

It was the police.

They need you to come down

to the station.

They said downtown.

Thanks. Thank you.

Well, about my client, Kate Travis.

Will she be in

in about half an hour?

Can I make an appointment?

All right. Thanks very much.

Can you hurry that up?

Can we let my client out?

You made me make a mistake.

Darling?

Did something happen there?

Is that why you did it? Why did you

take your clothes off in the mall?

My sleeves got wet

and they got really, really long...

...like a straitjacket.

Did you go in the fountain?

You didn't even get wet.

Hey, talk to me.

- Hi.

- Hey.

You think there's someplace

I could take a bath here?

We'll do that when we get home.

Oh, no. We can't do that anymore.

It's not nice.

Right now I'm not ruling anything out.

Especially since I personally have

never had a case like Kate's before.

But I am looking into

a lot of possibilities.

One of which is called

the Hestia Complex.

Hestia Complex? What is it?

Hestia was a Greek goddess. She was

the goddess of the home and hearth.

She kept the fires burning.

She was the guardian of family life.

But in an interesting contradiction,

she came to despise love...

...and consequently, to reject it.

Eventually, she retreated

to a single life...

...and peculiarly, was allowed...

...to become the guardian

of virginal modesty.

What has all this got to do with Kate?

In clinical psychology, as well

as in my own documented theories...

...which are based in mythology...

...virgin essentially means child.

Now Kate has retreated

into a childlike state.

There could be any number

of reasons for it.

At this point... And yes, I must...

...look into all the possibilities.

But at this point...

...the Hestia Complex

seems the most likely.

All right. Take a deep puff.

All right, no puff.

Oh, wow, this fur is great.

Didn't it used to be sheepskin

or something?

My aunt died in August and she gave me

this ratty old mink coat.

It was falling apart,

but the sleeves were still good.

It was just enough to cover

the three rooms.

I left Kate a message...

You're the only one I let smoke

in here. Will you give me a break?

I left Kate a message last week,

but she never called me back.

Yeah, well, she's away

for a while now.

Sorry, I haven't been

very good about...

...checking her voice mail.

Look at me. Look up. There.

Actually, I just wanted to talk

to you about something.

What about? Lie down.

Well, I'm president of the Beauty

and Fairness for Dallas Club.

Is that a new club?

We're a spinoff of the Garden Club.

We promote women's issues.

We're looking for a male voice to help

present our cause to the city council.

What's the cause?

The freeway issue. We think

one should be named for a woman.

Do you realize that every freeway

in Dallas is named for a man?

I'm so terribly sorry.

I hope you'll forgive me.

- Hi, Peggy!

- Hey, honey!

- How are you?

- You look so wonderful.

Connie, did you see that? Hi, Judy.

- Oh, hey, Peggy, nice to see you.

- We're going to see Dad.

We need to talk to him about Mom.

Dad, we're here.

Could you come here please?

So will you help us?

Well, who do you have so far?

Annette Strauss, for one.

Oh, Annette! God rest her soul.

She was proof that women

make great mayors.

- We also thought about Mary Kay Ash.

- Good choice.

Someone with international influence.

I'm touching your leg and entering.
