All language subtitles for Benson s05e10 Labor Pains

Here are the copies of the contract
proposal.

Thanks, Denise.

Tom, Richie, I think the rank and file
of your union will find this a very fair

contract. As far as the working matter
is concerned, there ain't no such thing

as a fair contract.

But Mr. Walker and I will present it to
the members of the union this weekend.

We'll have an answer for you by Monday.

If it was up to me, I'd give you an
answer right now.

Gee, that didn't sound very encouraging.

No, that's just tough talk.

We made them as fair a proposal as the
state budget would allow.

Come on, Benson. First you give in to
the highway maintenance workers.

Next you give in to the toll collectors.
Then it'll be the park's personnel.

Face it, you caved in. You let them walk
all over you. You should have welcome

tattooed across your chest.

If your dumb meeting is over, I'd like
to pick up the garbage.

Clayton, your ride's here.

Amusing. Look how sloppy this place is.

Least you could do is help me clean up.
Okay, Kraus, hop in a bag and I'll toss

stuff to you.

So how'd the negotiation go?

Well, we made them a counter -offer.
They're going to look at it over the

weekend. I think we have a good shot at
it being accepted.

Hooray! We don't have to work this
weekend.

Oh, good, now you can hang the drapes in
the front window.

Denise, I just hung the blanket.

Fine, I'll do it myself.

So emotional when they're pregnant.

So I guess we'll just have to wait and
see. Oh, I think she'll get him to put

the drapes up.

No, Governor, I'm talking about Stump
Walker and the contract negotiations.

Oh, right.

He has always been a stubborn son of a
gun. Doesn't trust anybody.

You deserve a pat on the back just for
surviving this week with him. Well, you

better pat it quickly because I plan to
spend the weekend lying on it. I am

bushed. Well, I'm glad I had you handle
the negotiations.

Enjoy your rest. I'll talk to you on
Monday.

And, Duncan, thanks again.

Okay, Governor.

So what are you going to do over the
weekend, Kraut?

Well, Saturday night I have a date with
John Travolta.

Then we are flying to Vegas, where we
are meeting up with Sly Stallone.

And the three of us are going to a
party.

Gross, I don't believe that.

Oh, yeah? But, Pat, don't you believe?

That you have a date.

Pass it.

Come on, babe, pass the ball.

Pass the ball, dummy.

See?

Every week it's the same thing with this
guy. Sack City. Put it down over there.

Here,

keep the change.

Benson.

Oh, hey, Tony.

I thought you were the chicken man, man.

Am I bothering you? No, no, no. I'm
watching the football game.

I didn't know there was a game on
tonight.

No, this is last night's game. I had to
work, so I taped it. Sit down.

I can't have a look at a game once I
know who won. Me neither.

But I don't know who won this.

Baltimore by 17.

Thank you.

What's up?

You know something?

It's a terrific feeling knowing you, my
neighbor.

What do you mean?

How long we known each other?

What do you want, Tony?

Hey, if I bother you, just say the word.

What would the word be?

You're probably not aware of this, but
Diane and I have been having some

problems. Tony, I don't want to hear
about your marriage.

Talk to a counselor, a minister, Dr.

Joyce, brothers, anybody.

But leave me out of it. Hey, but I
didn't come here to talk about that.

I came to ask you if you could watch the
baby for us tonight.

No, no, no, no. No good.

I thought you liked Tracy. I do, as long
as she's at your house.

It's sort of an emergency.

What kind of an emergency?

See, Diane and I want to celebrate our
fifth wedding anniversary, but I just

found out our babysitter broke her leg.
Well, let me get my phone book, and I'll

find you a babysitter. Diane wouldn't
feel comfortable leaving Tracy with

someone she didn't know.

Tony, it's been a tough week. I'm very
tired, and I just want to spend a

watching TV.

Come on. I need a romantic evening.

I need a peaceful evening.

She'll sleep.

We'll only be gone a couple of hours.

What's a couple?

Three, four.

That's not a couple.

She's a great kid. You won't have any
trouble.

And you'll only be gone three or four
hours? At the most.

Bring her over. What'd you say? Bring
her over.

Thanks, man.

That's great.

Oh, uh, one thing.

I only pay $3 an hour. Tony, go get the
baby before I change my mind.

You know something, man?

You're the last of the good guys.

Being a good guy really stinks.

She's fed.

Everything's been taken care of.

For some reason, she should wake up and
begin to cry.

What?

Try singing the Battle Hymn of the
Republic.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic? What
the hell is that going to do?

It usually gets her right back to sleep.

I thought you said she slept through the
night.

I said probably.

Probably? You didn't say nothing about
no probably. There was no probably in

discussion. Relax, man. Everything will
be all right.

Oh, almost. Yeah.

Well, babe, looks like it's me and you.

What are you doing awake?

Look at some TV.

All right, I'll take that as a yes.

I got the football game on tape.

The Colts won.

Yeah, I felt exactly the same way.

Okay, so we won't watch the TV.

Okay, what do you want to do?

What do you want to do?

I mean, damn, it works.

Tony ain't as dumb as he looks.

... ... ... ...

...

Hey, Tony, you and Diane, you all home?
I'll be with the baby right over.

What do you mean, stranded?

Snowstorm? The guy didn't say nothing
about that on the weather last night.

Hold on.

Jerk was wrong again.

Yeah, Tracy's sound asleep. Everything's
fine here.

Oh, hi, Diane.

What?

Yeah, I still got your spare key.

Okay, well, let me write this down.

Formula in the fridge.

Baby food in the third cabinet.

Okay.

Okay, you guys take care of yourselves.
Everything is fine here.

I'll talk to you later, okay? Bye -bye.

Looks like me and you, sweetheart, are
going to have to spend the night

together.

You women are all alike.

Oh, I'm right here. I'm right here.

Anybody ready for some breakfast, sugar?

Well,

it'd be orange goop or green goop.

Nothing like a little mashed up squash
to get you going in the morning.

Oh, good. Maybe that's your mummy and
daddy.

Abominable snowman.

It's me.

Close enough.

Telephone line. I've got a highway
patrol car waiting outside for you. I

knock the lines down.

Benson, the governor has called an
emergency meeting. He wants us there.

What's it about?

Your friend Stump Walker called his men
out on strike. They won't clear the

streets until we renegotiate. Oh,
brother.

Well, it's going to take a little time.

Well, I guess Tracy will have to come
along with us. Tracy? Who's Tracy?

Tracy's my next -door neighbor's
daughter. I was babysitting. They got

upstate. Say hello, Tracy.

Isn't she adorable?

Clayton, she is not an Ewok.

Why don't you put her food together? I'm
going to get an extra blanket.

Aren't you the cutest?

Booyah, booyah.

How am I supposed to know when this
stuff is ready?

Sprinkle some on your arm. I'm not
putting milk on my arm.

Here, I'll do it.

How does that feel?

Warm. Then it's ready.

So now what do I do?

You feed the baby.

Feed? It's a baby.

That's right, Kraus. Pick her up and
give her the bottle.

Pick her up?

In my arms? No, Nan, no. With your
teeth.

And I don't know how to hold babies. Let
Katie do it.

It's okay with me.

Hi. Sorry it took so long. Pete got the
car stuck in a snowdrift. We had to walk

all the way over.

No, it wasn't my fault. Some joker on a
toboggan ran a red light.

Whose baby?

It's my next -door neighbor's daughter.

is Tracy.

Denise, would you mind keeping an eye on
her while I'm in the meeting?

I don't know, Benson.

Haven't you been taking child care
classes?

Yeah, but we only work with rubber
dolls.

She's real good with dolls, though.

You better hope she gives birth to a
chatty Kathy.

I'll watch her, Benson. Boy, it doesn't
seem that long since Katie was that age.

Yeah, I'll help.

You? You can't even pick her up.

Well, I can help.

I just can't be the main baby person. I
can't hold her, I can't feed her, and I

certainly can't change her.

Maybe you can put some pinto beans in
your mouth and use your head for a

All right.

Let me make this proposal.

Will you construe this as a binding
proposal?

Actually... Proposal is an inappropriate
word. I think Mr. Dubois would consider

this more of a suggestion.

Fine. Let me make a suggestion.

Would you consider this a binding
suggestion?

Counselor, by definition, the word
suggestion precludes any intimation of

permanency. But by virtue of the parties
involved, any alteration of the

contract insinuated or implied
transcends the simple definition of

I have another suggestion.

Why don't you two go out in the hallway
and play word power?

I'll agree to that.

Fine. Very well.

We'll be in my office when you come to
your senses.

All right, Stump.

The lawyers are gone.

That's me and you talk straight.

And when you left this room on Friday,
you were in favor of this contract,

right? Yeah, basically.

What happened between then and now to
change your mind?

It snowed. Now I've got the upper hand.

Tom, we gave you the best deal we could.

Read it. You've got all the facts right
there in front of you. You guys in

management kill me.

You always stick it to the working man.

Don't tell me about the working man.
I've been there.

You may have been there once, but you
ain't there now.

Once you put that suit and tie on, you
became one of them. You know.

Now I know why they call you stump.
You're cut off below the brain.

I may be dumb, but I'm way ahead of you.

Yeah, well, you may be ahead of me, but
you're going in the wrong direction.

Meaning what?

Meaning this is the best package we
could possibly offer you. I know it and

know it, and you're crazy to let your
membership turn it down. My membership

didn't have to turn it down. I turned it
down for them. You mean to tell me

they've never even seen this offer?

Look to what?

For 35 years, I've been getting up in
front of those guys and telling them

contract is the best management can do.

Well, thanks to an unexpected snowstorm,
I don't have to do that anymore.

All right, let's compromise.

I will agree to reopen negotiations if
you will just put your men back out on

the streets. In other words, you want me
to trust you. I give you my word I'll

deal in good faith.

You're good, Dubois.

Real good.

But trust you?

I'd rather floss my teeth with a
chainsaw.

I know where I can get one.

Excuse the interruption, Benson. Could I
see you just a minute? Oh, sure. Excuse

me a minute.

Is this the right song, my guy? The
theme, the glory of the coming of the

Yeah, that's it. It doesn't work.

What do you mean?

I mean, she won't stop crying. We've
tried everything.

You'd better come take a look at her.
Okay, I'll be there in a minute.

Uh, Stump, can you hang on for about ten
minutes?

Sure. Every ten minutes is another half
inch of snow.

What a guy.

Is this what it's gonna be like?

year after year. I don't think I can
take it.

Calm down, Pete. One baby is all I can
handle right now.

When I cried as a baby, my papa gave me
schnapp.

Did it work?

I don't remember. My entire childhood is
a blur.

You've got to help me here. This is
quite enough.

Okay, Pete, relax.

I'll tell you one thing.

When Denise has my baby, As soon as it
walks, it's going to military school.

Pete, why don't you go outside in the
snow and play?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Listen, she feels warm to me.

Yes,

she is.

Rise, Red.

Do you think she's sick?

I don't know.

It's hard to tell.

Feel her nose.

See if it's warm and dry.

And if it is, should I give her a dog
yummy?

I couldn't stay up there. The lawyers
came back.

Whose baby?

My next door neighbor's. I'm looking
after her.

We think she's sick.

Oh, you better call a doctor.

What good will that do? The whole city
snowed in.

I may be tough, Dubois, but I'm not
heartless.

Give me the doc's address and I'll have
one of my boys pick him up and bring him

here on a snowplow. Denise, call Dr.
Phillips and tell him what's happened

I'll write down his address for you.
Now, don't get the wrong idea, Dubois.

This strike is still on.

I don't want you to be thinking that I'm
some kind of pushover. Don't worry,

Stump. In our eyes, you're still a
rotten guy.

It's been up to 20 minutes with the
baby. I sure hope it's nothing serious.

Ah, it ain't. It's probably just an ear
infection.

Who are you, the Gerber answer man?

I got three daughters, 14 grandchildren,
and I raised two sisters. I've seen a

lot of ear infections.

That doesn't make you an expert.

What do you know? You ever raise any
kids?

Yeah, I've raised my younger brothers
and sisters.

How'd they turn out?

They didn't have no ear infections.

Everything's all right. The doctor just
thinks it's an ear infection.

That's what I said.

Just wanted a second opinion.

I'm going to go outside and see if
Pete's calmed down yet. Oh, he's all

He just came in here a minute ago and
wanted a carrot for his snowman.

Call me if you need me. Okay.

Look who's better.

So how's she doing?

She's asleep.

And I thought she'd be more comfortable
in her own bed.

Would you look at her.

Yeah. Isn't she an angel?

I remember when Katie was that size.

Is this going to be a story?

No, I was just remembering.

Reminds me of a story.

What is he, the designated storyteller?

I remember when Gloria, that's my
oldest, she was about five.

She got a hold of my electric razor and
shaved the cat bald.

Ruined the razor.

Didn't do the cat much good either, did
it?

Huh? Oh, I never thought of that.

something, Dubois?

There are moments when you can be an
okay guy.

The kind of guy you can trust?

Well, I guess you must be if your
neighbors are willing to let you take

their baby.

I'll tell you what, son.

If you put your man back on the street,
I promise you we'll sit down at the

table and negotiate until we hammer out
something we both think is fair.

Okay, Dubois.

I'm gonna trust you. You got a deal.

Let's get to work.

is just right.
