The Making of 'Dr. T and the Women' Page #7

---

- I forgot my purse.

- Can I get it?

- It's okay.

It's a private, a private personal

family... Thank you.

Hey, Dad.

- Can I talk to you in private?

- Sure.

- This is ridiculous.

- Can you work it out?

You better take a pill.

Excuse me, Bree Davis

to see Dr. Travis.

We're all here to see Dr. T.

I have an appointment,

for all the good it's done.

It's one of those days.

I don't see you on my list.

I don't have an appointment,

but he's expecting me.

He's with a patient now.

Take a seat and when he's free I'll

call him and work it out.

- Thanks.

- Okay.

I get more nervous waiting. It's the

fourth time I've tried to see him.

I haven't been

to a male gynaecologist in years.

Honey, it'll be fine. Trust me. The

man knows how to handle a speculum.

Dad...

...you can't let Dee Dee get married.

Why not?

Bart's a real nice guy.

He adores her, worships her.

I can't imagine he won't be

a really great husband to her.

Unless there's something about him

I should know that I don't.

No, but there's something you

should know about Dee Dee.

What is it?

She's a lesbian.

What?

Daddy, I'm serious. She is.

I hate to be the one that has

to tell you this, I am...

...but that girl from Houston,

her so-called maid of honour...

...Marilyn?

I didn't think I was gonna have

to tell you this.

Remember when Dee Dee

was down at Houston...

...before she transferred

back up here to SMU?

She and Marilyn had a...

...you know...

...a thing.

Are you sure?

Dad, I'm positive.

Remember last year when I went to

surprise Dee Dee on her birthday?

I surprised her, all right.

Dad, I surprised all three of us.

I didn't say anything because

I thought she was experimenting...

...or trying something new

and she would do it...

...one or two times

and it wasn't a big deal.

You know, it was like a college

thing and whatever.

Marilyn has been up several times for

dress fittings and I can tell you...

...it is not over between them.

I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry, I really am. I know you've

got your own worries right now...

...about Mom and Peggy moving back in

with you with her kids.

Dr. T, the fillies are getting

a little restless.

Bye.

Anyway, I gotta get back down

to the museum.

More evidence came in

about the real John Wilkes Booth...

...hiding and living guess where?

Enid, Oklahoma until 1903.

I know I'll get

a zillion questions today.

Then we can talk about Mom later.

And about Peggy and her kids because

they seem unhappy and disoriented.

Don't you think? I do.

More importantly, we should

definitely discuss this Marilyn thing.

Bye.

Daddy?

Yes?

Don't worry about me at all, okay?

Everything's fine with me. Really.

Dr. T?

- Dr. T, are you in there?

- Yes, I'm here.

There's a lady named

Bree Davis here to see you.

- She doesn't have an appointment.

- Lunch!

I heard he has a gentle touch.

If you ask him,

he'll use the small speculum.

I asked him because I hadn't had sex

in a long time...

Excuse me, Miss Davis?

Just follow me, sweetie.

What is that?

She's been here five minutes...

Tina, I'll show her back.

- Follow me, please.

- Whatever you say, boss.

I'm so sorry.

You wouldn't believe what's

been going on today. Come in.

- We've got lots of ladies.

- Thank you. I'll be right with you.

My God, is it always like that here?

Always.

- I am so sorry.

- That's okay.

I don't...

I can't get through an hour

without thinking about you.

- I don't know how I forgot...

- I won't starve.

You want some pizza?

- My God, you're having a rough day.

- How'd you guess?

It's written all over you.

What's wrong?

Wrong?

Nothing, nothing.

I can tell when something's

bothering you. What is it?

Sit down a second, will you?

I just had some...

...weird news...

...from my daughter, Connie.

What is it?

Maybe I shouldn't talk about this yet.

Maybe I should let it settle.

Come on. Listen, you want to talk.

You want to get something off

your chest and I have time.

What is it?

Come on.

All right.

I don't know

how much truth there is to this.

Connie came here and told

me that I shouldn't...

...allow my other daughter,

Dee Dee, to get married...

...because she's a lesbian.

- Dee Dee's the cheerleader?

- Yeah.

Really?

Well, not necessarily is, but was.

I mean...

Christ, I don't know what I mean.

Well, yeah.

What Connie said was that...

...when Dee Dee was down at Houston

last year at school...

...she had a relationship

with this girl named Marilyn.

I assume she meant

sexual relationship.

This same Marilyn is going to be

her maid of honour.

Well, at least they still respected

each other the next morning.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean

to make a joke about that.

- That's okay.

- Really, I'm sorry.

I think you might be making

a little too much of this.

But it is serious, isn't it?

This is very ser...

She's getting married. I mean, l...

I just don't know what she...

I want her to be happy.

You know what? This is the first time

I've ever seen you look so scared.

- What are you scared of?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

You want my opinion?

Yeah.

Do you remember when we first met

what you said?

No, what?

You said that every woman

is special in her own way.

That there's no two alike.

So if that's true...

...then Dee Dee is Dee Dee.

Let her be who she is.

If she loves this guy and wants to get

married, who cares what she did with...

- What is her name?

- Marilyn.

Who cares?

Judy, I'm not feeling very well.

- I'm getting that hot feeling.

- Get some water.

- Take a deep breath.

- My throat's dry...

No, please don't. Please go...

I'm so sorry.

- But you know...

- Thank you. Give us a minute.

We have so very many

people out there.

- Could you give us...

- Women people, Dr. T.

Thanks very much, I'll be out.

I'll be right out.

I got a really good idea.

Why don't you and I

just get together tonight after work.

We'll find a nice romantic

restaurant somewhere.

Is that good for you?

Because it would be good for me.

I would love that, but I can't.

I'm going out of town for a few days.

- My plane leaves at five.

- Where?

New Orleans.

It's a golf thing.

I'm going with a friend.

Listen, your office is going crazy

out there, so I'm gonna go.

I'll call you as soon as I get back.

Where are you staying?

I can call the hotel.

At least say good night.

I don't know where I'll be.

My friend arranged it.

I'll call you. Don't worry.

I'll be back before you know it.

Bye.

I wish you would please take a seat.

I've waited here long enough.

I feel it's time for me to get in.

Dr. T, I'm sorry. I know

you've got a lot going on.

I don't want to tell you

what's going on in waiting room.

But we'll never get out of here

tonight...

Who've we got?

Good. We've got Melinda Jones...

...pregnancy follow-up

in Phyllis George.

Hildy's back. Guess the amoxicillin

didn't work. She's in Ann Richards.

And we have a new one.

Oh, she's really something.
