They're asking me questions

I don't understand.

What you need is

a good public relations firm

to handle all of that for you.

That's-- that's very funny.

Bob, uh,

this is all going to

be all right, isn't it,

when whatever this

thing is is dead, right?

Maybe it already is.

Look, Frank, why don't you go

down the service elevator?

You won't have to meet

all those media people, huh?

Take care.

Uh... have them

empty out his desk,

send his personal articles

to his house.

He won't be coming back.

Mr. Davis,

what did it look like?

Leave me alone.

I got nothing to say.

Get those cameras

out of my face, please.

I got no comment, I had

nothing to do with this.

Will you get that goddamn

thing out of my face?

Get out of the way!

I don't know

what it looked like.

Never mind my baby.

Leave my wife out of

it, you understand me?

Aren't we almost home?

We'll be there in a few minutes.

Oh...

I feel better already getting

out of that terrible place.

I don't have to take any more

of those shots, do I?

I don't like taking shots.

I don't... I don't like

being made to go to sleep.

I engaged nurses

in three shifts.

Lenore:
I'm surprised anybody

would even want to work for us.

Well, Doctor Norton

took care of it.

Oh, good.

And I'm going to be there

all the time.

- What about--

- Yeah, I told the office

that I just have to have

those three weeks' vacation

they owe me.

What about that, uh,

that Marcus account?

That was... that was

very important to you.

You're more important.

What about Chris,

have you told him?

Does he know anything?

I spoke to Charley.

He kept him home from school.

He hasn't told him anything.

Good.

Sooner or later, he'll

switch on the television.

There's only so long you

can keep a secret like that.

Dad, why can't I go

to school, or go out,

or have any of my friends over?

Chris, I can't

tell you now, son.

You'll just have to trust me.

You trust me, don't you, son?

Sure, Dad.

You have to spend all your

time with Charley this week.

You wouldn't mind that.

Chris, hey Chris, hey buddy,

you don't

want to hurt his feelings.

I like Charley, but I want

to see Mom and the baby.

Frank:

The baby's not home yet.

ls it sick?

Yeah, that's right son,

the, uh, the baby's sick.

And everything here is a mess.

So, uh, it'd be much better if

you stay where you are.

Will you tell Charley to

let me watch television?

Frank:

Okay, put him on.

Oh, okay.

Okay, Frank, look we'll

take care of everything.

Hey, I had an idea.

What if I take Chris up to

the lake, do some fishing?

Okay Charley, thank you.

Oh, and, uh,

give my love to Lenore.

Thanks, Charley.
