How many days in your life
can you remember?
As you grow older and lonelier,
you remember more and more
of them.
This day started for me
like every new day,
and then I noticed what
had happened to the flowers,
and I felt somehow today
would be different.
Mrs. Leslie!
Oh, you're up early
this morning, croffman.
Well, I was just coming over
to see you.
The most terrible thing
has happened.
The most terrible things
croffman.
But this is really terrible.
You know that lovely...
not so loud.
My roomers aren't up yet.
Well, that bouffant I made
for the little creighton girl...
Well, she's up in Santa Barbara
to be married
in the mission there,
and her mother just called,
and the aisle in the mission
is too narrow for the hoops.
Well, can't she walk sideways
like a crab?
Everything's a joke to you.
But I have to go up there,
and I might not be back
until 2:
00, 3:00 in the morning.I don't know
what to do about pixie.
She can't stay alone
until that hour.
Well, when I was 16,
I didn't need any babysitter.
She has a date tonight
after dinner,
and if I could send over
some chops for her,
if it's all right.
Croffman, you kill me.
A girl old enough
to wear a sweater,
and she can't even broil a chop.
I'd be ashamed
- Pixie's such a baby.
- Yeah.
Well, you send her over,
and I'll try and keep everything
on a high plain.
I won't even let her see me
set the table.
I'll just let her think
it comes that way.
Well, I'll leave a note
for her.
- Mrs. Leslie.
- I don't want to wake her.
Good morning, miss roland.
You just run along
and be the schiaparelli
of Santa Barbara.
Mrs. Leslie.
Oh, that's all right.
Croffman was just going.
Bye, croffman.
Everybody's up early today.
The gentleman
in the room next to mine,
I think he's sick.
He's been upchucking
for about an hour or so.
Oh, well,
why didn't you say that?
Well, I said he was sick.
But sick can mean anything.
He'll get over it.
They always do.
Appendicitis
sometimes starts that way.
Take my advice, miss roland.
Let sleeping dogs lie
and hangovers hang.
But how do you know
he has a hangover?
The way he drove in here
last night.
Take a look outside.
There's a tire mark across
Well, aren't you going
to go upstairs
and see what it really is?
Oh, I know what it is.
I learned the hard way.
People who play nursemaids
to drunks are fools.
I had a father who was one.
Yes?
Pressview 5-4124.
Oh, all right, yes.
Hold the wire.
I'll tell him.
The pooles.
Oh, Mrs. Leslie,
is it for us?
Yes, it's the hospital.
They want you to come
just as soon as you can.
Tell them, please.
We'll be right out.
- Is it about Karen, dear?
- Yes, dear.
We've got to hurry.
I gave them the message.
They'll be over
just as soon as they can.
Poor man.
I feel more sorry for him
than her somehow.
There's nothing
can be done about it.
Their daughter's
The hospital doesn't think
she'll last the day.
Must be unbearable.
I've never lost anyone.
You get over it.
Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Leslie.
Oh, that's all right,
miss roland.
You get over it, eventually.
Oh, oh.
Mr. McKay?
Mr. McKay?
Mr. McKay?
Mr. McKay.
What do you want?
I'm Nadine roland, next door.
I want to help you.
Have you got a temperature?
Look, leave me alone, lady.
I'll be okay.
I have some tea in my room.
It might help.
