Alice

- Hey. Where are you now?

- Nowhere.

It's late. I have to go.

Oh, oh, oh.

- John and Susan confirmed for dinner.

- Yes.

Don't sit her by Ray Poole's wife. She'll

ask if he's moving to Kidder Peabody.

- I'll put her next to the Gimbels.

- Mrs Tait! We're ready for school.

We're all bundled

up. Come on. Let's go.

There's Mommy. Give her

a big wave and a big hug.

- Do you have their library books?

- Yes. And their milk money. Come on.

- Wanna invite Lily to play?

- I'll be picking you up.

No, Monica? I'd like

to pick them up today.

- All right.

- OK.

- Seen my tennis racket?

- Bye! No.

- Let's go to the country this weekend.

- Oh.

Roger and I wanna play doubles

with his lawyer and a friend.

But it's the last weekend

for the antique show.

Come on. There'll be others. I put in

a clay court and I've yet to use it.

- They have no more free-range

chickens. - Then, no, Hilda.

There are too many chemicals

in the others. Bye-bye.

Order some papayas, Hilda.

They're high in fibre.

You want me to order more

skin lotion and shampoo?

No. Dr Kellar's putting me on new

ones. You can order my moisturiser.

There's my trainer.

Hilda, would you call my masseuse

and see if I can come an hour earlier?

- My back is just killing me.

- Hi.

- Hi, Ethel. Hi, Bill.

- We met in the elevator.

I was out shopping for another

client and I found this.

- I was thinking of the Connecticut place.

- Yeah?

- It's a fin-de-sicle

eel trap. - An eel trap?

Maybe for a lamp base or

a dried flower arrangement?

- Interesting, yeah.

- Live with it for a while.

- They're hard to come by.

- Are they?

It's a steal at 9,000. I'll

just be in the children's room.

- Ready to get off some cellulite?

- My back is killing me. I don't know why.

I've had it X-rayed, I've been to my

chiropractor, I've had a shiatsu massage...

- Acupuncture?

- No, I'm scared of needles.

- There's a Dr Yang. He's good.

- I wonder, if I had a Swede walk on it...

- Oh. Did you hear about Nancy Brill?

- No. What?

She got promoted. Now she's in charge of

buying scripts for a big cable TV station.

- Really?

- She can get a project done if she likes it.

- Who would have thought?

- Everybody's running to her with scripts.

My! It's great when a

good friend makes it.

I hear she's having an affair

with Beth Winninger's husband.

Really?

- Nina?

- What?

Could you excuse us

for a couple of minutes?

- Sure.

- Just for a minute. Thank you.

- Nina, I have to talk to someone.

- About what?

- You must never tell. Promise.

- I promise.

I feel so ashamed. You know I'm

not the type to have an affair.

You know, 16 years I've

been married to Doug.

- It's not in me.

- I know. You're a good Catholic.

Now who are you sleeping with?

The other day Monica was sick,

so I brought the kids to school.

Excuse me. Miss?

- What?

- I think you dropped your...

- Oh, my book.

- Edna St Vincent Millay.

- Thank you. I'm sorry. Thank you.

- Romantic stuff.

Come on.

- I can't get him out of my mind.

- And that's it? That's all?

- Yes.

- You said an affair.

- You know I could never...

- What's his name? Is he single?

I don't even... I don't know.

Isn't this foolish?

It isn't even that he's so handsome.

It's more... more the way

he looked at me, you know?

- Was he there when you went back?

- I couldn't bring myself to go back.

I had Hilda pick up the children.

But I'm gonna go today. I'm gonna go.

I don't know why. You know,

I'd never dare do anything.

- Start a conversation.

- Speak to him? Come on. You're joking.

I can't bring myself to look
