The Making of 'Dr. T and the Women' Page #5

- Hey, honey!

- How are you?

- You look so wonderful.

Connie, did you see that? Hi, Judy.

- Oh, hey, Peggy, nice to see you.

- We're going to see Dad.

We need to talk to him about Mom.

Dad, we're here.

Could you come here please?

So will you help us?

Well, who do you have so far?

Annette Strauss, for one.

Oh, Annette! God rest her soul.

She was proof that women

make great mayors.

- We also thought about Mary Kay Ash.

- Good choice.

Someone with international influence.

I'm touching your leg and entering.

Easy.

There we are. Okay.

How many names do you need?

Three. You got another suggestion?

What about one to get the attention

of the good ol' boys on the council?

You know, like...

Jayne Mansfield.

All right, that's it. Cutoff.

No more cigarettes in here.

Don't even ask me next time.

Jayne Mansfield. What a great idea.

Hey, Dee Dee, look.

Put that back before he comes in.

That's his drawer.

Hi, everybody. What's up?

Out of my drawers.

Squid, just move on.

- I hate "Squid."

- I hate when you're in my drawers.

Sully, we're just so sorry

to interrupt your busy day.

He's writing up a prescription.

Take this out of samples.

I don't want to see her

for three months.

- Okay.

- You want me to shut the door?

Please. Thanks.

- Thanks, Carolyn.

- What's up?

We just wanted to take

a few minutes and talk about Kate.

- We're real concerned.

- Basically...

...we should get Mom out.

I see no reason why she

can't stay home with us.

You know we can't do that.

The psychiatric hospital is

the best place for her.

They've assured me that

the facility in Tyler is first-rate.

Dr. Harper talks to Kate

several times a day.

She says she's happy there.

Do we really know that she's happy?

I mean, if we haven't seen her?

Kate's been there three weeks.

She hasn't asked about us once.

Any of us.

- I don't believe it.

- Dr. Harper said that?

Does anybody have any idea

what's wrong with her yet?

They're about as stumped as we are.

Dad, that's exactly why

we need to bring her home.

At least we could take care of her.

Well, Dr. Harper did say one thing.

What?

There is a rare...

...mental disorder that they're just

learning about right now.

It's a condition, a complex,

called the Hestia Complex.

- Hestia Complex?

- I don't know it.

Apparently it only affects women.

From the few studies they've done,

women who are most susceptible...

Are what?

Say it, Dad.

Women who are loved too much.

Loved too much?

Mom has this disease

because we love her too much?

I think you've gone crazy, Daddy.

It's not about you.

But that sounds very strange.

Listen to me. Understand me. Now.

This is not because of anything
