All language subtitles for The Ropers s02e17 The Other Woman

Why don't you give it a try?

Nah, I couldn't. Oh, sure you can.

Nah. You just let it all go.

Are you kidding? I just spent two hours
putting it all together.

Come on.

No way.

You know, this, uh, dandy helps to work
off your frustration.

Really?

I couldn't catch my breath.

Anything for me?

No, just a bunch of bills and... Oh,
here's something for Stanley from the U

Treasury Department. I wonder what it
is.

Why don't you open it?

There are two things that Stanley never
lets me touch.

One of them is his personal bank.

like it's already half open.

Oh, hey, you know, you're right.

One little pull, and it will fall right
out to you.

It's a check? Oh, let me see.

Oh, Jenny, it's an insurance rebate from
the VA for more than $300.

Fantastic. Oh, what a wonderful
surprise.

I wonder what Mr. Roper will spend it.

You spend it on something nice.

You know, sometimes Santa can be very
considerate.

You're in here yapping. I was out there
watching my arms grow longer.

That was stupid of me, sweetheart.

No excuses. I don't... What?

Here, darling. You let me take those
from you.

Darling?

The mail coming in yet? I don't know.

Oh, there it is.

Oh, good.

Just another bill.

Where are you going?

Upstairs to make a phone call.

Why don't you make it down here?

What, and disturb you two? I'd never do
that.

Since when?

Jenny, he's hiding it from me.

But why?

What's he up to?

David,

aren't you going to go out to play?

Me too.

I'm home, family.

Why isn't he tired?

Tired? Tired?

Did I hear the word tired?

Look at this face. What do you see?

A little hair right there.

Besides that?

Nothing. Bright, bright, perky, clear
-eyed. I've gotten up at four in the

morning for the past five days. You'd
never know it by looking at me.

You'd know it by looking at us.

Maybe it was your singing of 76
trombones.

I'm sorry, little fella.

Jeffrey, why do you have to sing when
you wake up? It's all part of the plan.

gets me off to a flying start.

Why are you getting up so early, Daddy?

Yeah, Daddy. Why?

Well, you see, David, the human body is
an amazing thing.

Now, by waking up early every morning, I
am training this body to perform with

less sleep.

It's like if you were to put less and
less gas in your car. Sooner or later,

you'd... Run out of gas. Run out of gas.

No. Now, let me give you a better
example.

Why do you want to sleep less? Why?

To broaden my horizons. To get more out
of life.

To tell more townhouses.

You see, David, the greatest men in
history have done as I am doing.

Da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Napoleon.

They sold townhouses? Yeah.

No. They all slept less in order to do
more. They say that's why Alexander the

Great was able to conquer the world.

Maybe that's why he died at 33.

Now, be serious, Ann.

I'm sure he caught something.

Anyway, my project is working for me,
and I want my family to be as excited

about it as I am.

I'm going to take a nap.

Hides his excitement very well.

Now, I know what you're going to say,
Anne. Where are the tangible results

all of this? No, I wasn't. I was going
to say, I'm going to take a nap, too.

Anne! Jeffrey, this project is not
working out. Au contraire, monsieur.

Au contraire.

It's a great success already. Now, don't
you realize I've already done a day's

work, run my five miles, and I still
have the rest of the day ahead of me.

goody! Then you can do tomorrow's work
today, go to sleep tonight, and not get

up till the day after tomorrow.

That's not how it's done, darling.

What I mean is that I have the rest of
the day to prepare for my meeting with

Mr. McLaughlin.

Mr. McLaughlin from Silver Glen
Townhouse? That's right, and if I play

right, I will be head of sales for
Silver Glen.

When's he coming?

Oh, for lunch.

For lunch? Right. Which I forgot to tell
you about. Sorry.

Jeffrey. Yes, dear? How long is this
going to be going on? Maybe forever,

Especially since I've discovered that
little catnaps. A moment here, a moment

there, totally refresh me.

Refresh you? Yes. At night, you go right
to sleep and I'm still awake.

And in the morning, you're awake and I'm
still asleep.

We're never both awake in bed at the
same time anymore.

Jeffrey, do you see what I'm trying...

Jeffrey.

76 trombones. Let's have a big parade
for the 110 cornets.

Why am I singing?

Lucille, Lucille, Lucille, Lucille Lou.

I don't know. She didn't tell me her
last name. Then I don't know her.

Listen,

Lucille is a very common name. I bet you
could stop anybody out on the street

and every single one of them would know
a Lucille. Or maybe even be a Lucille

themselves.

Where are you going?

To the barber's. You had a haircut
yesterday.

Did I say barber?

I meant hardware.

Hardware. I have to go to the hardware
store. You got all dressed up. go to the

hardware store?

Yeah, well, uh, it's in Beverly Hills.

Oh, hey, maybe I'll go with you. No, no,
no, no, you can't.

Why not?

Why not? Why not? Why all these
questions? Where are you going? Why are

dressed up? What's the matter? Don't you
trust me? Oh, no, Stanley, it isn't

that. It's a phone call. Okay, just
forget the phone call.

There must be a thousand Lucille
Pomeroy's around here.

Mrs. Roper, you don't really think he's
seeing another woman.

Look, Jenny, a man doesn't put on a
shirt and tie to go look at plumbing

fixtures.

But, Jenny, how did he know her last
name?

Oh, Mrs. Roper, you don't really think
he's seeing another woman.

Look, Jenny, a man doesn't put on a
shirt and tie to go look at plumbing

fixtures.

Is that a yes?

I know why he wouldn't show me that.

chick. He's gonna spend it on her, that
Lucille Pomeroy. Oh, come on, Mrs.

Roper. Like my grandmother used to say,
a man doesn't go looking for hamburger

when he's got steak at home.

At home, he's a vegetarian.

Look, how long have you been married?

A hundred years.

How many times has he cheated on you?
Oh, this is the first time.

Well? That I know of.

Listen, from what I've seen of Mr.
Roper, you've got nothing to worry

Well, I admit he's no John Travolta,
but... No, no, no. What I mean is, well,

know what he's like.

And can you really imagine him getting
involved with another woman?

I can't even imagine him getting
involved with me.

So?

Nah. You're right.

Oh, yeah. Thank you, Jenny.

Oh, what?

Well, for making me see I was wrong
about Stanley.

Well, you're welcome.

And now that this is all settled, I'll
make us some lunch.

Oh, hey, I got a better idea.

Why don't we get all dressed up and I'll
take you out to lunch? That is a better

idea. How would you like to try that new
French restaurant around the corner?

Great. That'd be a real treat for me.

For me, too.

Stanley forgot his credit card.

Do you know what the specialty is? Ah,
Mrs. Roper. Hello there.

Oh, wait a minute, Danny.

I'll go ask Mr. Brooks.

Uh, Mr.

Brooks, you've been to Chez Marcel.
We're going there for lunch.

What's a good thing to order?

Or maybe something pretty ordinary?

Well, maybe they didn't have anything he
liked.

Come along, Jenny.

Before he talks our ears off.

Nice talking to you, Mrs. Roper.

That's the way I am. I like to keep
going. Get the most out of life.

And if I happen to get rich in the
process... So much the better. Oh,

you're going to like Jeffrey.

Well, I don't know. He's two minutes
late.

Ah, Mr.

McLaughlin. I'm sorry I'm late, but I
was so busy selling a house, I forgot

time. I like him. I like him. Please,
sit down. Sit down. Thank you.

Are you all right? Never felt better.

As you know, Mr. Brooks, I am looking
for someone to take over sales at my

silver...

The townhouses that bring you back to
nature. Yes, everywhere you look at

Glen, you can see the beauty of nature's
handiwork. Just picture those rolling

lawns flowing gently in every breeze.

The trees bending sleepily in the wind.

While inside, residents pass their days
in dreamy calm.

76!

The thing you have to emphasize when
you're making your sale is the quiet,

serenity, the absolute peace and
tranquility.

Which is not to say that we don't have
exciting recreation at Silver Glen,

because we do. We have a fully equipped
gymnasium for the man of the house.

Now, all that is on the west side of
Silver Glen, while on the east side, we

have a recreation hall.

Of course, back on the west side, we do
hope to put in a tennis court.

He's still over at the recreation hall.

Recreation hall!

Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes! Oh, I like the man who shares
my enthusiasm.

I have been searching high and low for
someone for this job, and I think I have

finally found my man.

with energy a man with a man with a get
up and go to make things happen

congratulations

I tried calling you to explain, but your
wife answered.

Yeah, well, I had a tough time getting
out of the house.

Did you bring the locket with you?

Yeah.

Isn't it beautiful?

Yeah, it should be for $200.

We agreed on $300, remember?

Okay, let's compromise.

$210.

Mr. Roper.

Oh, I get it. You're joking.

Trying to give the impression that you
don't like to spend money.

Monsieur, would you care to see our wine
list?

Why not?

This is a special occasion.

We'll have the... Bring us a couple of
cokes.

please? Your name, madame?

Roper.

Ah.

But you are already here.

Yes, I know.

$250? That sounded like Stanley's voice.

Oh, but it couldn't be.

I'd like to see what Helen looks like in
this. Would you mind trying this on?

Not at all.

Uh -oh. I think I'm going to need some
help.

Let me be here.

what that looks like. Not bad.

Not bad. It's beautiful.

My wife would never expect me to do
something like this in a million years.

Special days.

What do you think?

You're right.

Doesn't appeal to me either.

Mr. Roper, you look like you've seen a
ghost.

I wish I had.

You can reason with a ghost.

Give me that thing. I'm in a hurry. Just
a minute. I don't have a minute.

Monsieur, can I help you? Mr. Roper. You
want to give me a hand?

This is my wife's pocket.

Mr. Roper.

time you've gone one step too far.

What? It was bad enough with all the
questions, but now you're following me

around spying on me.

What?

Well, and what is marriage if there
isn't trust?

Trust?

I found you with another woman.

That's another thing.

Because of all your snooping and spying,
I didn't even have time to pay her.

There's a lot of work involved, of
course.

And you want to know why?

Because I knew that you were always my
favorite.

to be.

Oh, Steve.

Oh, you had this made for me?

At the jewelry store.

Lucille's jewelry store.

And the picture taken on our wedding
day.

I thought we'd lost it.

I found it when I cleaned out the
storeroom.

See, I wanted this to be a surprise for
you. Oh, Steve.

I don't know.

I mean, you hurt my feelings, Helen. I
mean, how do you make up for that?

Oh, I think I know a way.

I forgive you.

little fella had to get up anyway. Mr.

McLaughlin is coming over for lunch.

That was yesterday.

Oh, no. You mean I slept around the
clock?

I'm afraid so.

Oh, no. I'll be awake for a week.

Oh, Ann, I wanted to show you what
Stanley got me.

Oh, that's beautiful.

It's very expensive.

Oh, Mr. Brooks, you want to see my new
locket?

Brooks, that's my wife.

Mind your own business.
