The Stepford Wives Page #5

- Stutters.

I'm not good on names.

Why do they call you "Dis"?

Because I used to work

at Disneyland.

- No, really.

- That's really. Don't you believe me?

No.

- Why not?

- You don't look like someone

who enjoys making

other people happy.

It was on the market

for about six months.

No kidding. Six months.

- Excuse me, your tea.

- Thank you.

Oh, you know, I'm really

into speech work, words.

Perhaps we might talk

about it sometime.

Oh, yes, certainly, absolutely.

Let's get you a napkin.

I hope your wife

has gotten over the accident.

It was your wife, wasn't it?

Oh, yeah, yes. It was nothing.

It looked worse than it was.

I should go and see her.

I should've done it before.

She'd like that.

- Shall we make a start?

- Is it all right if Joanna sits in?

Definitely. I'm sure she's got

a lot to contribute.

Well,

you want me to get you

a more comfortable chair, hon?

No, it's OK.

My drink.

Excuse me.

Well, we all know what we're here for,

so who's gonna be the first genius?

Well, how about the Christmas toys

for the under...? For the poor kids?

For chrissake, Claude,

it's only May.

Yeah, well, I guess it's a little early

to start thinking about Christmas.

I'm frankly more interested

in the overprivileged kids,

like my son hated camp.

So naturally,

Charmaine won't hear

of him going back.

What's he gonna do all summer

besides drive me batty?

I thought we might try

a tag sale here this year.

Oh, sure, put a tag on all of his toys,

we'll make a fortune.

That's a good idea.

I mean, everybody's got something

around the house that they don't need,

- and we can help sell it.

- A barn dance.

- Barn dance?

- A barn dance?

- Well, that went out in the '40s.

- Right.

I think a barn dance would be

a good idea. Well, I'd like it anyway.

You're talking about a square dance,

aren't you?

Is that what you mean,

a square dance?

Hey, hey, wait. Anybody

ever heard of a cakewalk?

- A cakewalk?

- Yeah, a cakewalk.

- It's a dance.

- It's a terrific way to raise money.

Cakewalk is not a dance.

It's a thing where all the women bring

over cakes, then you draw this circle

on the floor. And you've got numbers,

and everybody circles...

Now, look, could we just get back

to the original subject?

Now, I brought up the possibility

of a tag sale.

Do you think we can

go through with that or not?

I thought we talked about it.

Well, nobody said whether they

really were for or against a tag sale.

Well, he said something

about a barn dance.

Do you wanna do a barn dance

or a tag sale?

We even suggested the possibility

of putting the barn dance

and the tag sale together

at the same time.

Ted, Ted, wait a minute, wait.
