Paulie Page #2

O-OK.

G-Go down.

D-D-Do y-you like this?

G-G-Good.

G-G-Good boy.

(Chattering)

Marie, can you help Mommy?

This goes on the glass tray.

This goes in the star bowl, OK?

(Background music) # Lonely days

are gone, I'm a-goin' home

# My baby just wrote me a letter

# I don't care how much money

I got with me

# I got to get back to my baby... #

(Mom) Hey, Jerry,

did you get something to drink?

- Here you go, guys.

- Oh, that's great. Thanks.

Marie, can you get that bird

off the table?

Marie.

- Paulie's h-helping me.

- He's helping you. I know. I know.

Why don't you two go outside and play

until Daddy gets here?

Y-Y-Y-You like that?

Wait t-t-t-till Daddy sees you.

(Cheering)

There she is. There she is.

She's growin'. Hi, Bunny.

- How's my big girl?

- Say hello to your daddy, Marie.

Handshake first, kiss later, OK?

Ooh, that's a strong handshake.

- (Squawking)

- Hey.

When did we get a bird?

G-G-Grandpa g-got him for me.

H-H-His n-name is Paulie.

(Music box)

P-Paulie w-wants a kiss, too.

OK.

# I loved you the first time

# I saw you

# And I always...

will love you, Marie #

Good night.

(Door slams)

(Dad) I just cannot believe

you didn't tell me.

(Mom) I wanted to write you.

- Well, then, why didn't you?

- I didn't know what to say.

Is she getting any better?

Is it going away?

No, but it won't go away if you

put too much pressure on her.

I don't think

you put enough pressure on her.

I can't stand to see her suffer.

I can't stand it!

What happens when she goes to school?

Do you think she'll be made fun of?

Because I can guarantee you

that she will be.

You tell me.

What do you think we should do?

I just think all this "we love you

whatever you do" is not gonna help.

Great, great. We'll just order

her to stop stuttering? Is that it?

OK, y-y-you are

the fairy godmother,

a-a-and I a-am the princess.

We live in a big castle,

a-a-a-and I have

lots of princess dresses.

OK, fairy godmother,

m-make me talk right.

(Door slams)

A-A-A-A-And p-p-p-please hurry.

All right, Marie. Let's take

your time. There's no hurry, OK?

This is a?

But-ter-fly.

(Chuckles) Ball.

Um, I'll tell you what.

I'll let you take

these cards with you,

and maybe you'll feel more

comfortable practicing at home.

OK, relax.

Take a deep breath.

Let it out slowly.

Now say "house".

H-H-H...

- House, sweetie, house.

- Hey, how are my girls?

Good.

- How's it goin'?

- Good. Very good.

Good.

What are you workin' on?

Cup. That's right.

- Come on. You can say "cup".

- C-C-C...

That's right, baby. You can do

it. Look at me. Watch me. Cup.

C-C-C-C...

Cup.

Lila, just let her say it.

Why don't you just let her say it?
