Thank you.

Doctor?

Dr.

Monte.

What am I supposed to do, quit my job?

Why don't you ask her to quit?

Excellent.

Then I'll be brought up on charges of sexual harassment.

I didn't know you could sexually harass someone you've already slept with.

I said it's over.

You should trust me.

I think what Caroline's been trying to say is she can't trust you.

Being around this other woman every day is like a recovering alcoholic going to happy hour every Friday after work.

I'm paranoid if I don't trust him.

But I violate my own gut feelings if I do.

Tell that to Andrew.

How?

I can't even look at him.

I understand.

I'm afraid we have to stop now.

We'll continue this next week, okay?

Thank you, Dr.

Monti.

Two new messages.

First new message.

Message.

Danielle, this is your mother.

I need for you to stop for green beans.

I'm making your father's mushroom green bean casserole for our anniversary.

Next message.

Hello, baby.

I'm at the Bon Tom.

Meet me if you can.

God, I miss you.

The world is spinning, so let's go slow.

The lights out, dimming out, let's go home.

I wish I met you long ago.

Let's just be friends.

I don't know why I want to tell you this.

Seems like I'm in it, but I'm taking the risk.

It's all just a game just to get your kisses in the end.

Sometimes once in a while, sometimes I'm a good girl.

Sometimes once in a while, I'm not such a good girl.

Sometimes once in a while, sometimes I'm a good girl.

Sometimes once in a while, I'm not such a good, good girl.

Thank you, Grandma.

This is my anniversary now.

I'm going to thank you.

Hey, Becca.

Hi.

Hi, Mom.

Where were you?

Oh, the great green bean search.

I was worried.

I've had water boiling for an hour.

That's ridiculous.

It may take five minutes to steam, Mom.

Oh, my Lord, Danielle.

This is way too many.

What am I going to do with so many?

What?

I had to rush over here to polish the silver.

Is Daddy even home yet?

No.

But Jim's been here for like 45 minutes, you know.

No, I don't know.

How would I know if nobody tells me anything?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, check this out.

What's this?

Lizzie Miles, where'd you find this?

Eh, just blind luck.

Baby, won't you please come home?

You know your mama's all alone.

There's some music in that room.

I'm not in vain.

Oh, my goodness, he's dipping them.

Oh!

That deserves a call.

Yeah, we'll be in the kitchen.

Don't let us interrupt you.

I'm sorry I was late.

My six o'clock had a crisis.

Late?

You're late?

Really?

What happened?

Oh, uh, two kids, husband's left.

She's threatening suicide.

Stop.

Stop.

You're making dealing with my illiterate students too easy.

Come on, we're famished.

We'll eat when Daddy gets here.

Yeah.

Becca, come sit down.

Hey.

Well, I think we should start.

And then Hank can take his good sweet time.

If Lois wants us to wait, we'll wait.

When's Grandpa getting home?

When he gets here.

That's what you always say.

That's enough, Becca.

If he didn't work so hard, we wouldn't be able to have such a nice time.

Always come home.

Worried about the weather?

Was it raining very hard, Danielle?

I'll be right back.

Hi, it's me.

I cannot believe I missed you.

Danielle?

I'll try later.

I miss you.

Danielle?

Hey, darling.

Your mother's been looking for you.

Oh, well, it seems we have something in common.

Happy anniversary.

Look, let me show you what I bought her.

Made in Russia.

It cost me a lot.

I'm sure it did.

Hey.

Excuse me.

You disappeared.

What's up?

Pam.

Is that your Sharon?

I will.

Thank you.

Hey, everybody.

Hey.

Happy anniversary, Hank.

I had a heart attack, Dr.

Campbell.

I didn't go blind.

How can you watch this?

You really had heart surgery.

Doesn't this bother you?

We'll stop being a shrink for a second.

Well, it's getting late.

Ready to hit the road?

Sure.

Why is everyone rushing off?

Take your time.

I got a stack of budding Hemingway's to grade.

You sure?

All right, I'll leave as soon as I make sure the operation's a success.

Happy anniversary, Hank.

Thanks, Jim.

He's a great guy.

Yeah.

I don't understand your sister.

Hmm?

Well, I mean, she gave up her teaching career, and for what?

Dad, she has a beautiful daughter and a rich dentist husband.

You did the right thing, Danielle.

I did.

How so?

Well, I mean, you know yourself better than Patty.

I mean, you know you'd have a hard time being a good mother.

Thank you, Dad.

No, I mean, you and I alike is what I'm saying.

I mean, your sister's in a rut.

Oh, I wouldn't tell her that.

You're telling her.

I'm telling you.

Am I interrupting?

No.

Great job on dinner, Mom.

Breathtaking green beans.

Thank you.

And you'll be happy to know that I am letting the pan soak.

Wow, really living on the edge there, aren't we?

What's the name of that doctor there?

Quite a figure on her.

That's because she's an actress, Hank.

She's not an actual surgeon.

Oh, Jim left his book here.

I, uh...

I should get going.

Oh.

Happy anniversary.

One new message.

Hi, baby.

I'm back at the Bontemps.

I won't leave until I see you.

I don't know.

Oh, is it real?

Just like the phone Reaching up to the sky Oh, this guitar player Playing for his life In the

delta Where the blues begin Scent Island On dry land Made of glitter Green and love Been here long?

Where were you?

I had a meeting.

Try your office.

It was at the Esplanade Hotel.

Oh.

And did this meeting come with a room?

Unfortunately not.

Just a long conference table.

That would do.

You hungry?

Anyway.

Are you?

Very.

Do me a favor, Hank.

Can I ask Danielle to bring my book home with her?

it should be in the den she already took it she left about an hour ago okay thanks Come here.

Come here.

We don't have time.

You're driving me crazy.

I love you.

Good boy You still awake?

Why wouldn't I be?

What's the matter?

Nothing Oh, uh Barbara is truly ugly T-R-U-L-E-Y U-G-L-E-Y She

should walk her fat butt into traffic I mean, is that real English?

Hmm Is there something the matter?

No I was just a long time with your dad I stopped at the drugstore You wouldn't

believe how crowded it still is Hmm Oh, did your dad ask you to grab my book for me?

Huh?

My book.

Do you have my book?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Great.

Um, Mr.

Phil out in the taxi.

I've got to call him.

No, no, no, that's okay.

I'll call him in the morning.

You sure?

Yeah.

Are you going to get that?

It's probably Mama.

Well, you should probably answer it.

Yeah.

The book.

I put it in your shopping bag.

Wrong number.

Oh, did you just turn on the water?

Oh, sorry.

Honey, give me a favor.

Look for your book in my shopping bag.

It's on the floor by the chains.

Okay.

Oh, good.

I'm not going to miss first period.

Don't worry.

I can't.

I can't.

Oh.

What?

How are we going to have a baby if we never make love?

I just...

I've got a patient in crisis.

I've got a lot on my mind.

Yeah, whatever, Danielle.

Whatever?

You don't believe what I'm saying?

Do you really want to have a child?

Jim's right, I think.

Maybe I'm not sure about kids.

child?

You ready?

I gotta go.

Why do you think you're hesitant about being a mother?

my mother is so so dependent it drives me crazy and you think that's what would happen to you no it's just i've been accused of being more like my father how do you think you are like your father we're both curious restless adventurous well that might be true but your

father's lied to your mother their entire marriage and he's chronically unfaithful we don't know for sure danielle well we know we assume

that he always has been like his father we're just uh way too

dysfunctional to confront him don't you think it's time that you should Sorry.

You okay?

Yeah, um...

Patient emergency.

I've got to...

I'll just take care of this.

I've got to go.

Nothing.

Nothing?

I'm trying to make love.

Will you be with me?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes?

But, you know what?

Do you think you're not cheating if we don't go all the way?

What are you talking about?

I want to make love with you.

I want to be with you.

Not like we're hot and we're in high school.

I want you in my arms.

I want to be inside of you.

You still haven't told me why you don't wear a wedding ring.

And since when does this bother you?

I don't wear a ring, so I'm not really married.

What's that got to do with you?

I don't sleep with my lover, so I'm not really having an affair.

I don't wear a wedding ring because I don't want my patients to know anything about my personal life.

It's a practical thing.

Lie to everyone else, Danielle, but don't lie to me.

I don't lie to you.

You just did.

Hey You startled me You want some tea?

No thanks You want to talk about anything?

No What?

Down the hall on your left.

Hey.

Danielle.

He's had another heart attack.

He needs a bypass.

Oh, God.

Daniel, come closer.

Hank, please stay quiet.

Mr.

Montaigne, we're ready for you now.

You'll just have to wait.

Mrs.

Montaigne?

I need you to do something.

Okay.

Go to the store.

Tell Julia that everything will be all right.

All right.

Go.

Mr.

Montaigne.

I'll be right back.

Hey, where are you sending her?

Hello.

Hello.

Julia?

Yes.

This is Hank Montaigne's daughter, Danielle.

My father asked me to call you and tell you that everything's going to be all right.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

This is unbelievable.

We should get back to her and not leave her alone.

Julia?

So now we have a name.

We'll be okay, Hank.

Stop, please.

I reached the store.

Can we go now, Mr.

Montaigne?

We can go.

Okay.

You don't have to.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I love you.

You awake?

How is he?

He pulled through.

That's great.

Sorry about missing dinner tonight.

You still allow smoking in the waiting rooms?

Don't ask me why.

I love you.

How much?

He just goes down.

Transition team to OR7.

Transition team to OR7.

Hello, Hank.

Hello, Carol.

Well, I knew you liked her young, but she just looked too young.

Even for you.

Daddy, she thinks we're on a date.

She's just a friend.

You like him, young?

Well, I hardly know her.

I sold her some furniture, so now she's teasing me.

Teasing you?

You know, you sure are looking awfully grown up.

I bet she's just jealous because you're so pretty.

I love you.

Oh, nothing is too good for my birthday, girl.

Thank you, Daddy.

This is so beautiful.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the little boy's room.

Go ahead, start with that.

Thank you.

I love you.

I am so sorry I was detained by an old business associate.

But I'm so hungry, I could eat a whole birthday cake.

Candles and all.

How about you?

Come on.

How is he?

Um, I just sat there with him.

Well, that's good.

He didn't even know I was there.

Hmm.

Well, have you talked to him at all?

Oh, sure, yeah.

By the way, Dad, uh, who's Julia?

Is that the mystery woman you've been sleeping with all these years?

to ask him that when I brought everything up years ago.

Yeah, but you don't know how much time he has.

You have a chance now to know who he is.

Maybe I don't want to know.

What does that get you?

What does knowing get me?

The honor of causing another heart attack for him?

That's emotional blackmail, Danielle.

It's given him the license to do whatever he wants.

Don't ask Daddy the truth or it'll kill him.

I mean, your whole family is fed on that.

Do you know where he was when his heart gave out?

He was in bed with Julia.

How do you know?

Told me in the ER.

Ambulance picked him up at a hotel.

Did you tell my mother?

You think she doesn't know?

Listen, relax.

You relax, all right?

Just leave me alone for a second.

Look, you know what your problem is?

You refuse to face the truth about your father or yourself.

Screw you.

Somebody should.

Meg?

No.

Mom, it's me.

Daniel.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

I just wanted to come home.

Keep you company.

You don't know what it was like between your father and me.

the love we had.

Hi, Jim.

Sorry I woke you.

I met my parents.

No, you didn't wake me.

I'm going to stay here tonight, okay?

Yeah, do whatever you want.

What does that mean?

It means just what I said.

Jim, I am way, way too tired for your word games.

My father's dying.

Well, he's been dying as long as I've known him.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing, Mom.

Nothing.

It's Jim.

Go back to sleep.

Go ahead.

It took her all night to fall asleep.

At least she fell asleep.

Go home.

Don't upset him.

Mom, don't worry.

It's not like that.

I know just what it's like.

It's his name.

Thank you.

¶¶ That was really beautiful.

Muchas gracias.

So, where do you want to go?

Honestly?

That's all I want to know.

I want to see my daughter.

What's she doing?

It's the middle of the night.

It's the best time of the day.

Go with the family.

Yeah.

I think that's probably a good idea.

Dr.

Montel.

Yeah, hi.

I know it's late, early.

I just wanted to see my father.

He's been moved.

He has?

Where to?

No one has reached you?

No.

Your family's been notified.

Your father passed away.

I'm sorry.

The good news is the store has a great credit rating.

Do you really want to keep it running?

Well, I'm confident in Julia being able to keep things going.

You both have trained her very well.

Imagine what she's going through.

Having to pretend like he was just her boss.

Just her boss.

Here they are.

Julia, can you come in here a minute, please?

Are you going to fire her?

She's in mourning, just like we are.

You are going to fire her, right?

Julia.

Julia.

I just wanted to tell you that I've decided to keep the store going.

Oh, that's great.

I'm sure Hank would be happy about that.

You don't have to give me notice, Mrs.

Montaigne.

What do you mean?

I want to keep you on.

Everything's a mess.

I really need your help.

Hank always talked about your window displays and how they really did bring people into the store.

So, unless you just want to look for another job.

No, but no, I just, um, I'm surprised.

Thank you.

There's just one thing that I wanted to ask you about.

Um, I can't figure out what these receipts are for.

I, um...

I'm sorry, I don't recognize them.

Excuse me.

What are those?

What just happened?

He cheated on her, too.

What?

That was so mean of me.

I don't know why I did that.

Maybe it's completely natural feelings of betrayal, revenge.

Mistresses, girlfriends.

He probably furnished their apartments, too.

He was kind to people.

I don't see why you have to diminish him.

You're holding proof of years of infidelity.

Why do you have to put a halo on him?

You know, you're angry at him for dying and leaving me.

I'm angry at him for distorting my entire view of life.

Maybe it's me I'm really angry at.

I've been seeing someone.

some musician I met.

And the, uh, the weird part is, I wish I told my father about it.

And why do you think that is?

To blame him, to torture him.

So you're having this affair to get back at your father?

Affair?

No, I haven't had sex.

So?

So I've convinced myself that, um, that I'm not being unfaithful to Jim because I haven't had intercourse.

We made a pact.

What kind of pact?

That there'd be no more affairs.

That I'd have no more affairs.

I had one early on in our marriage.

It nearly destroyed us.

So I've learned to be like my father, only better.

Isn't that a laugh?

So this affair, or whatever you want to call it, Is a way to punish your father?

Or is it an excuse, Danielle?

A cover for your fears?

What fears?

Commitment, closeness.

Is it you need an extra man so you don't risk real love and intimacy?

Hi, it's Miguel Sorry to miss you Leave a message, please, up to the people Miguel, meet me at Le Bon Tom

tonight at 8 I need to talk to you I want to jump, jump I want to jump to the music, play these rhythm blues.

He wants to tell Jim.

We have to cancel dinner.

Hey!

Do you think he said anything?

No.

Let's hope not.

I can't believe he couldn't talk about a dinner.

I didn't want to make too big a deal out of it.

Here they come.

Talk about something innocuous.

What's up with your hair?

Really?

I asked for a single.

He gave me a double.

Yeah, anywhere.

Oh, thank you.

Your wife was just telling me I need a new dude.

What is she talking about?

Look who's talking.

Look who's talking.

That's me.

I mean that you have the kind of hair that catches a guy's attention.

And your wife doesn't.

What I'm saying is, Sam said you look like a real tigress with your friend the other night.

What friend?

It wasn't a friend.

It was, um, I ran into one of my patients.

Two best friends.

Well, you must get scared of your patients.

Why is that?

Was he bothering you?

He's off his meds.

I'd put him back on.

He seemed pretty pissed.

He's shaky.

That's normal.

Oh.

It's totally normal.

Transference, huh?

Transference.

Transference.

It's a medical term.

Transference is a big word.

Where did you guys run into each other?

We ran into each other down in the corner.

Oh.

What was that?

Tuesday night.

Tuesday?

Oh.

Oh!

That's the night she makes house calls.

If you have to know, I was down there getting something for you.

A surprise.

On Royal Street.

Well, there you go.

Yep.

Case closed.

No, Eric, come on.

What?

But I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thirsty here.

I'm fine.

The hostess has been eyeing us for like the last half hour.

Hey, I tell you what.

Why don't we go up to our place for a nightcap?

I'm there.

No, we can't.

What time is it?

No, no, no.

Forget about the time.

We'll drink.

Eddie?

Yeah, two glasses of wine.

Pathetic.

All the time I've lived in this town, I can't understand how someone's listening to jazz.

Yeah, Eric, you gotta try a little harder to understand something that at first doesn't make sense.

I think I'm gonna go lie down.

Okay.

Okay.

So, how many Miguel's were there?

Uh One other Did Jim know?

Yeah, he's no fool No But you know he's crazy about you I'm not so

Hello.

Hi.

Good night.

Good night.

Christelle, I left it on the chair.

I didn't turn it off.

Call me in the morning.

Yeah.

Hello, baby.

I need to see you.

Jim, I'm going to head up to bed.

Eric's something, huh?

Oh, yeah, I'd say.

What?

I think he's a lush.

Aren't you going to answer that?

It's probably Patty.

I'll talk to her in the morning.

Oh, better see.

Why?

I'm tired.

You two are pretty close these days.

Yeah.

Yeah, it makes me happy.

Since Dad died, we've gotten much closer.

Oh, that's probably what she's so upset about.

When?

When?

Earlier, when you guys were talking earlier, having a conversation.

Oh.

She and Eric are having a hard time.

She's embarrassed for you to know how messed up things are.

That's ridiculous.

You know how she is.

No, no, I mean because of what a joke our own marriage is.

What do you mean?

What is the matter with you?

Or is it just...

Is it genetically impossible for you to tell the truth?

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?

What happened?

You tell me what happened.

Nothing.

Would you stop humiliating me, Danielle?

I don't have to put up with this crap.

The truth is, is that you're not just like your father.

You're worse.

What's that supposed to mean?

At least he didn't pretend to be something that he wasn't.

Jim.

Jim, I'm not seeing anybody, if that's what you mean.

Are you?

Not everyone has to sleep around to feel like they're worthy of being on this planet.

Oh, I see.

So you just gaze into outer space.

Jim, talk to me.

I'm through here, baby.

hello baby i need to see you i'm not giving up my place It's all right.

You can pay me next time.

Oh.

Thank you.

Hey, just checking in.

Hey.

Did you screen and call?

Miguel keeps calling.

I can't focus on my patients.

And Jim won't return my calls.

You've got to be clear with Miguel and end it.

Yeah, I know.

But for now, just hang in there.

Do your job.

It'll take your mind off your problems.

I'll call again in 50 minutes.

45.

45 it is.

Okay.

Okay.

You're going to be all right.

Tomorrow is a new day.

And you're seeing a new light.

Try to keep your head up.

Oh, don't you ever give up.

Oh, don't you ever give up.

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

¶¶ BELL RINGS Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I like the way you play.

Let me get you one.

It's for me.

So, where do you pull all that stuff out?

Or is this just another night on the job?

Tonight I'm raw.

I can't talk, so I just play.

You seem like you had a pretty serious talk before.

She was beautiful.

Don't tell me you got so many you don't even remember her.

No.

I remember her.

Who is she?

She's the smart one.

Smart and sexy.

I messed up.

What is that?

She's got a husband.

and she wanted me to be faithful to her.

Maybe she's in love with you.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's not about that.

No?

What's it about?

Wanting what you can't have.

So you want her back?

So many questions.

You're a shrink, too?

No, I'm not.

Just an interested party.

He was very private.

Yeah.

Joe, thanks for getting up.

I feel like such an idiot.

Patty, come give her some support while I go in and set things up.

I've got to take a few pictures.

Sit down.

Here.

All right.

Are you still late?

For what?

Becca, would you do me a favor?

Take a pregnancy test before you have x-rays done.

Jim?

What are you doing here?

that's stress.

Yeah.

Well, that's what I said.

You all right?

What happened?

Oh, I, um...

slipped and twisted my ankle.

How?

Well, don't make me tell you.

But if you could change a, um...

bulb in the bathroom, it might ease the pain a little bit.

Where's the rest of it?

Here.

I'm pregnant.

We are.

You and me.

What you and me?

I ran into your lover.

Jim, he was never my lover.

I never slept with him.

No, no, no, I don't want to hear it.

I know it's hard for you to believe anything I say right now, but it's the truth.

What about the others?

Did you not sleep with them either?

It was never about that.

If you listen to yourself, you can't even tell the truth.

Jim.

Jim, stop, please.

It's over with him.

I made a horrible mistake.

I miss you.

I miss you so much.

I just want us back together.

I know how badly I've messed up.

I know I hurt you.

I'm sorry.

I trusted you once.

I was so stupid.

I thought that somehow, some way, I could...

Love you enough.

I'm not gonna stand around and end up like your mother.

What's that supposed to mean?

You figure it out.

Jim, this baby is yours.

We made it that night under the stars.

Our little love child, huh?

It's ironic, isn't it?

Once I thought I would do just about anything to have a child with you.

Who is it?

Dr.

Ruth, ma.

What do you think it is?

Hey, sweetie.

Hi.

Are you...

Starved.

Well, you look starved.

I do?

Uh-huh.

Wow, this looks great.

Thank you.

Don't pick.

It's not me picking my...

It's the baby.

Oh.

Well, dinner won't be for a while.

Hmm.

Why don't you go upstairs, take a little nap?

Yeah.

Maybe I will.

I can't believe how sleepy I feel.

That's good.

You're supposed to feel like that.

Just don't put those shoes on my bed.

Darling Lois, I want us to share our lives together.

But I wonder if you can be happy with me.

I know myself.

I'm not a man to be faithful to one woman.

It's not me.

I promise I will love you and honor you above all women.

Only you.

Build our lives together and raise a family.

I will never leave you.

Will you come with me?

Love always and forever.

Hank.

I'm sorry.

Honey?

Honey?

Let me show you a trick, okay?

I'll teach you all my tricks.

What do you mean?

Why limit yourself, honey?

When you can have it all.

Why do you look so shocked, honey?

I'm not.

Of course you're not.

You're my girl.

What does this mean?

I know myself.

I'm not a man to be faithful to one woman.

Hmm?

I asked you not to open that.

You knew what you were getting into.

Is that what this means?

It means that your father always loved me.

and that he was honest about who he was.

And I accepted that.

You accepted it.

Why would you accept it?

I really need to know.

Why would you accept that?

why didn't you say something scream, put your foot down, tell me he was a bastard didn't you want more?

I wanted your father his way or no way?

is that it?

you remember what he was like he brought light into a room he taught me how to lie, Ma we all lied you worshipped him when you were little well I'm not little anymore I

don't know I'm so sorry oh I didn't mean to hurt you I want something different for my

child I want I want an honest marriage if it's not too late thanks for meeting me Yeah?

Sounded like you could use a friend.

Read that.

I...

I wanted my mother.

I needed my mother to say something, do something.

Tell me it was wrong.

It was wrong how my father conducted his life.

That she wouldn't stand for it so we wouldn't have to.

You were right.

My mother knew all right.

And I was like him.

I didn't realize how much.

I want things simple between us.

Come home.

Can you...

Answer the phone.

I don't want to.

No, I want you to.

Why?

Because every time the phone rings, I don't know who it is, and I wonder why you didn't answer it.

Answer the phone.

Okay.

Hello?

Mom, Mom, I've got to call you back, okay?

Yeah.

How do you keep your story straight?

You don't believe me?

That was my mother.

You even remember which one I am?

Jim, stop.

Did your lover and you, did you sleep here in this bed?

In our bed?

After you guys had sex, did he nestle right here in my spot?

No one was ever here.

No one was ever here.

Well, everyone was here.

Jim.

Only people in bed with us.

No wonder we could never make love.

Jim, do you want to know the real reasons I was afraid of making love.

Yes, I do.

I thought that if we got that close, it would hurt too much when it didn't last.

And I knew how badly I was messing things up.

And I was afraid of getting pregnant.

Well, that would have cramped your lifestyle.

No, no.

I felt like I didn't deserve to be a mother how about now it's different now how can I believe anything you

ever say I can't make you trust me Jim but I love you I need you to know that please stay Yeah, I'd like to stay.

What?

I'm not ready.

Then we'll go back to Pirate's House.

Grandma, where should I sit?

Well, darling, why don't you come around here, sit near the kitchen so you can help me, and you know what?

We'll put Aunt Danielle down at the end of the table because she is the birthday girl.

How old do you think I'm going to be before she stops calling me the birthday girl?

It's good to be the birthday girl.

There she is.

Dad's favorite surgeon.

Ooh, she looks nice in those scrubs.

Quite a figure on her.

Aunt Annie!

Aunt Annie!

Aunt Annie!

What?

Grandma needs you.

She does right now?

Yeah.

Okay.

Come snuggle with me.

Something always has to be the matter.
