Yeah, I just made it out. Why?

- Oh, my God.

- I'm sorry...

- You can ring it separately.

- All right, OK.

OK, Mrs. Sunderson.

Hold it a second, Mrs. Sunderson.

OK, come on.

Watch it!

Hey, what was that?

- Oh, sh*t.

- Oh, my God, Carol.

I didn't see you.

I thought it was clear.

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Oh, no, it's nothing, really.

It's just a surprise.

- I'm fine. It's just my head. I...

- It wasn't my fault.

I... I didn't mean nothing. It was just

one of those things, you know.

No, I'm fine.

It wasn't my fault. You know,

I didn't see the car coming.

It came right...

It wasn't my fault.

It wasn't my fault.

- How do you feel, Carol?

- I'm telling you, I'm fine. I'm really fine.

Isn't that Carol Van Sant?

Well, I think that she had

sort of an accident. Come on, now.

Should anyone send

for an ambulance?

Get an ambulance

down here right away.

We have an accident.

In the parking lot.

Get it down here right away.

In the parking lot.

What are you talking about?

I'm looking at... I can see it right now.

Get it down here right away.

Don't give me a hard time.

This is all so silly. I...

I'm fine. It's not serious.

What can I do, Carol? Tell me.

- Oh, my groceries.

- I'll take them home for you.

- Could you call Larson's Garage?

- Larson's Garage, of course.

This is all so silly. It's just my head.

I... Oh, this is all so silly.

It... It's just my head.

Poor, Carol.

She's such a nice person.

Do you think you'd get ambulance

service better than this anywhere else?

Two hours you'd wait in New York.

And I bet even in Scarsdale,

it'd take 45 minutes. Six minutes or so.

Any of the rest of you

wanna have an accident,

make sure you do it

right here in Stepford.

- OK, pull it on out.

- Six minutes. Can you beat that?

Well, I guess that's

the friendliest accident I ever saw.

- You know...

- What?

We may be new here,

but isn't Stepford Hospital that way?

Oh, no, no, no, you're wrong. It...

No, no...

You're not wrong. The ambulance

went that way, didn't it?

Mommy.

Mommy.

What is it?

What is it, sweetie?

I think Teddy's gonna cry all night.

Oh, no, look.

- He's happy. Lookit.

- No, that's his unhappy face.

He doesn't like it here.

He's gonna be crying all night.

- What do you think has upset him?

- He doesn't like this room.

Oh, yes, he does.

He told me he loves it here.

He loves the quiet.

He's thinking about all the honey

he can get out in the trees here.

He told me he liked it even better

than Central Park

because he can take walks

by himself,

and he doesn't have to worry

about getting lost.

He's really a Stepford bear.

He really knows his way around.
