The Secret Lives of Dentists Page #2

---

my f***ing money?

Okay, call my...

However you wanna handle it.

- Call my secretary.

- I don't feel like it.

Here it is. How about that?

Fell right out.

World's greatest dentist,

if you wanna get your teeth worked on.

- Thank you.

- It's a nice filling.

Call my secretary and we can...

Thanks.

- What?

- Thank you.

Unbelievable.

- She's so beautiful.

- I know, she is.

- This was so cool.

- Yeah.

- She's so beautiful.

- You can yell "bravo" if you want.

Bravo!

- There she is.

- Mom!

- Hi.

- It was great.

- Yeah, you were really good.

- Did you like it?

- Yes.

- Here. Pretend you had this all along.

Hey, it was my lucky rabbit's foot.

That's what it was.

Just a second. I know. I know.

- Say good night to Mommy.

- I don't want to!

- Mommy, we came to say good night.

- No! No!

- You can sleep in the nursery.

- I don't want to.

We wanna sleep with you, don't we?

Hey! Hey. Now, stop it. I mean it.

- It's just a phase.

- I don't care. There's no hitting.

Come on, let's just go.

- Hey, let's lie down with Mommy.

- Come to Mommy, honey. Come here.

- Let Mommy hold you.

- I want my crib in my room!

- Quiet!

- I can't sleep!

Can't sleep!

Hi.

Hi.

What time is it?

You look scary.

I just can't believe

it's over, you know?

It's so beautiful.

I could sing it every night forever.

Well, you'll sing other things.

I don't wanna sing other things.

Okay.

Well...

I saw that Slater guy last night.

His filling fell out.

What?

He's the one I told you about.

Impacted upper and lower.

One of them halfway up to his eyeball.

Won't have them out till they hurt.

Needs to see a periodontist. Anyway,

if you get him, don't charge him.

Okay?

It's a waltz.

That's what's so tragic.

I mean, you could dance to it, but...

But you can't.

Look up, kiddo.

- Let's go take a shower.

- Daddy!

- Daddy!

- She needs a bath.

I'll take care of it. You wake up.

- Daddy!

- Yes?

- Dave!

- Dave is coming.

Megan has her own bathroom,

and her big sister...

You're making wind? I hope not.

I'm going to the store for juice

and a paper. Anybody wanna come?

- No, thanks.

- Okay.

Back in a flash.

- Bye.

- Bye.

You look pretty, Mom.

Want anything special?

- Morning, Dad.

- Morning, guys.

- Pancakes then cereal.

- You want oatmeal with that?

- No.

- What do you think?

- Milk in the cereal.

- Zip!

That's what Mommy says.

That's got to stop, young lady.

- Hello, remember us?

- Hi.

- Look what's on. Let's check it out.

- No! No!

Don't you wanna watch TV

with Lizzie and Steph? Sure you do.

- Come on, you guys.

- Yeah, we're trying to watch TV here.

All right, come help your sisters.

- Thanks for the help.

- Remember the hands?

We're washing dishes

And then we make a cake.

A wedding cake.

Vanilla and chocolate and pink...

Pink flowers.

- I've got doughnuts for the girls!

- Hey!

It's such a beautiful day. Hi!

There's my lovely little girl.

- Hi...

- No!

Fine. Lizzie, you wanna drive up

to the country? Does that sound fun?

- Sure.

- Should we drive up to the house?

Maybe we'll take a picnic, huh?

- Dave?

- Yeah. Wanna go to the country?

- No!

- How about you?

Well, it was something.

What's with this traffic?

- Why is it black?

- Because nature... Hey.

Not so near the edge, sweetie.

Nature is trying to get rid

of all the old things.

- It breaks into particles...

- It stinks!

...and it turns black.

It's a good thing, believe me.

Look at that.

All right, you know what?

We'll come back to this.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Take this.

- Come on. Race you.

- I'm gonna be sick.

- Don't look at it. That's nature again.

I don't wanna.

It's our fault for leaving that stuff

in the fridge so long.

That's nature just trying

to break it all down.

I wish we were closer...

...sometimes.

Do you think Leah's reacting

to something between us?

Are you asleep, Dave?

Dave?

David?

Smile for me.

Good. You can rinse.

Okay.

- I'll get this for you.

- Excuse me one minute.

- Hey.

- Lizzie's home with an upset stomach.

Carol came and took her home.

- Hope it's not the flu.

- It's the usual.

- Elaine's kids had it.

- I called home, she's fine.

But I didn't have time

to get anything for dinner.

Okay, so we'll see you,

what, around 6:
00?

Yeah, 6:
30. Sometime.

Okay.

Come on!

- Now it's tofu!

- Tofu. It's a soybean type of thing.

You don't have to eat any more.

You try that, honey.

Is your stomach still upset?

Hi, everybody. I'm sorry I'm late.

Hi, honey.

- Hi.

- Hi, sweetheart.

- Hi, honey. How's your tummy?

- Better.

It is? Good.

- What's for dinner?

- Oh, something I whipped up.

- It's good.

- Yeah.

Oh, good. Well, let me just

wash up and I'll be right back.

Okay?

Mommy's home!

Okay, there's...

...no inflammation...

...no fever, it's not the flu.

She doesn't want to go to school.

It's been every morning this week,

so...

You know what, Lizzie?

Sometimes...

...when mommies

and daddies argue...

...it makes a child feel bad.

- What? We're not arguing.

Dana and I?

Honey, we should go.

- Can I weigh myself?

- Can you weigh yourself?

- I don't know, can she weigh herself?

- Absolutely.

The stomach problem

she's always had...

...is going to be the focus

of all her uneasiness.

Every feeling is in the body

as well as in the mind.

We're not arguing, Danny.

Not much to tell.

We met, fell in love.

Just like that.

That was a hard week, huh?

Little Leah doesn't make it any easier.

What if she's like this forever?

Remember when Lizzie was waking

up four or five times a night?

- Stephanie swallowed that penny?

- Oh, my God.

- You know, you scare me a little.

- What?

You do, you always have.

Isn't that funny?

You don't smile much.

Not like most people do, anyway.

You're awfully tall.

Yes, you are, you're very tall.

We've been married 10 years,

I was always tall.

Remember when you'd

ride me on the handlebars?

- How can you say you don't scare me?

- I was trying to.

- Why?

- Because you scared me.

You were so f***ing smart

you scared everybody.

And you know it.

- What are we watching?

- Movie night.

By way of thanks, I betrayed him.

I broke his heart

in one way or another.

Do you like me?

I love you.

I mean, if you weren't

sleeping with me.

Would you want to talk to me

and have lunch with me, and...?

- You would?

- Yes, I would.

Do you think that we're friends?

I'll prove it to you.

I thought it would be different,

you know, our marriage.

I thought it would

be like the Cinerama...

...and it would just get

wider and wider and...

It doesn't.

It just gets smaller and smaller.

No, it doesn't.

If you rest your head back,

and give yourself over to the screen.

Let that Elmer Bernstein

music swell up.

- See all the great cinematography.

- Dave.

You're supposed to eat it

with a spoon and milk.

- Hey, guys.

- Hi, Dad.

- Where's Mom?

- She had to go in early.

She wants you to take

Leah to daycare.
