05x24 - What He Did for Love

Post by bunniefuu »

Yes, Sondra, That's Exactly
What I Would Prescribe.

Dr. Newman's
Right On The Button.

Yeah, Sure.

Penicillin's
Just Fine.

Please Do Me
A Favor.

Take It The Whole
Nine Days.

Don't Stop Just Because
You Feel Good.

That Should Get Rid Of
That Old Strep Throat.

Bye-Bye.

That Was Sondra?

Yeah.

Why Is She Taking Penicillin?

She Has Strep Throat.

I Would Have Liked
To Have Talked To Her.

She Didn't Ask For You.

She Was Just
Talking To Me.

But I'm Her Mother.

Right, Right, You Are.

But You Are Not A Doctor.

You Don't Know Everything.

What Did You Tell Her
To Do With The Babies?

She Shouldn't Breathe On Them.

No, Of Course Not.

I Told Her
She Could Wear A Mask.

A Mask?!

Bacteria Are Tiny Whatevers
That Can Get Through Anything.

Did You Tell Her

To Scrub The Walls Down
With Disinfectant?

No, I Didn't Think...

That's What I'm Talking About.

You Told The Child
To Use A Mask.

What Will That Do?

You Don't Know Anything
About Sick People.

She Needs Her Mother,
Not A Doctor.

A Mask Indeed.

I'm Going Over There
To Solve This Problem.

I'll Call Francine
And Take Her With Me.

She's A Grandmother Too.

A Mask!

Jesse James Wore A Mask.

A Lot Of Good That Did People.

I'm Just Here
For A Little While

And Then The Angel Of Mercy
Will Come And Get Me.

(Baby Crying)

Just A Minute, Honey,
I'm Coming.

It's Okay, Winnie,
Don't Be Afraid.

It's Only Mommy
Wearing A Mask.

Before We Go In

Let's Remember We've Come
To Get Those Babies.

She Shouldn't Be Breathing
On Those Babies.

The Last Thing She Needs
Is Sick Babies.

Winnie, I'll Be Right Back.

My Baby!

Mom, It's Just
Strep Throat.

I'll Be Okay.

Strep Throat
Is Serious Business.

You Lie Down.

Who Is Making
All This Noise?

It's Winnie.

There, There.

You Heard Me.

Lie Down Right Now.

I Don't Need
To Lie Down.

You Need To Lie Down.

I Have A Million
Things To Do.

You're Not Doing Anything.

We're Here To See
That You Get Better.

I Made You Some
Hot Chicken Soup.

I'll Put This Blanket On You.

Hold On There.

I Don't Need
A Nap Now.

I'll Fix It So
You Don't Have To Move.

Here's Your Telephone

Your Remote Control
For Your Television

And Lots Of Magazines.

You Just Stay Down.

Thank You, Mom.

It Has Been Hard Being Sick
And Taking Care Of The Babies.

We're Here To Take Care
Of Them For You.

I Appreciate That

But I Can't Expect You
To Stay Here.

We're Not Staying Here.

That's Right.

We're Taking Winnie
And Nelson With Us.

You're Taking The Babies?

You Don't Want Them To Get Sick.

Francine, The Rattles.

Check.

Daddy Said The Masks
Would Protect The Babies.

What Does He Know?

When Did He Have A Baby?

The Box Of Diapers
And An Extra Blanket.

Check.

Do You Have To Take Them?

I've Never Been Without Them.

I Know Exactly How You Feel.

I Felt The Same Way

When I Gave You
To Grandma And Grandpa

When I Had The Flu.

It Was The Only Thing To Do.

Listen To Your Mother.

Don't You Cry, Shlibitz.

We're Going To Have
A Good Old Time.

That's Right, Shlobo.

You And Your Sister
Are Coming With Us.

Say Good-Bye To Mommy.

Say Good-Bye To Mommy.

Mommy Would Kiss You

But I Don't Want You
To Get Sick.

Don't Forget
To Eat That Soup.

We'll Call You Later.

Okay.

Next Time You Get Sick

Would You Call Us First?

Okay.

Thank You, Sweetheart.

Bye-Bye.

Bye.

Hi, Hon...

Sondra!

What?

Where Are The Babies?

Where Are The Babies?!

Our Mothers Took Them.

Oh.

Good.

Did They Take Them Out
For A Little Air?

No, They Took Them Away.

What Do You Mean?

They're Keeping Them
Until I Get Well.

Until You Get Well?!

That Might Be
Two Or Three Weeks.

Why Did You
Let Them Do That?

You Sat Here While
They Took Our Children?

It Was For Their Own Good.

This Way They Won't Get Sick.

They Weren't Going To Get Sick.

We're Wearing Masks.

I'm Sorry.

I Was Really Tired.

It Sounded Like
The Right Thing To Do.

I'm Sure It Did

But There Was No Reason
For Those Babies To Leave.

They Used Your Sickness
As An Excuse To Take Our Babies.

Don't Be Ridiculous.

Look Around.

There's Hardly Anything Left
Besides The Baby Football.

Now That You Mention It,
They Were Very Persistent.

In Fact

Every Time I Got Up,
They Shoved Me Down.

You Should Have
Seen Their Faces

When They Got Their Hands
On Those Babies.

They Were Cackling.

Our Mothers Stole Our Babies!

I Didn't Say That.

They Lied About
How I'd Get The Babies Sick.

They Snatched Them
From Their Playpen

And Ran Into The Night.

I Think
You're Jumping To Conclusions.

Sit Down.

Your Sickness Might Be
Clouding Your Judgment.

I'm Getting Dressed

And You're Driving Me
To My Mother's House.

We've Got To Rescue
Our Children.

Should You Leave The House?

Elvin, I'm Going.

Are You In Or Out?

I'm In.

Good.

When We Get There,
Leave The Motor Running

In Case We Have To Make
A Quick Getaway.

And Now It's Time For

The Health News Segment
Of Our Program.

All Right.

Is The Game On Yet?

No, But This
Will Be Off Soon.

All Right!

Latest Findings From
The Council On Nutrition

Indicate That Americans Consume
Too Many Fatty Foods.

In The Past

The Focus Has Been
On Cholesterol

But New Studies Show That
Fat Is Even More Dangerous.

Some Foods That Are
High In Saturated Fat

Include Potato Chips, Cheese,
Processed Meats And Fried Meats.

The Highest Incidence
Of Health Problems

Occur In People Who Consume
Large Amounts Of These Foods.

People Who Are
Drawn To These Foods

Should Learn To Control
Their Eating Habits.

For Some,
The Challenge Is Too Great.

We Recommend That These People
Seek Professional Counseling

With A Nutritionist.

All Right!

Don't Move!

Where Are They?

Who?

Don't Play Dumb With Me.

You Know Who.

If I Knew Who,
I'd Tell You Where.

My Babies, Winnie And Nelson--
Where Are They?

You Don't Know Where
Your Own Children Are?

Your Wife-- My Mother--
Along With Elvin's Mother

Took Them Right Out
From Under Me

Leaving Me On
The Couch Childless.

They Haven't Been Here.

I'm Going To Find
My Babies

If I Have To Tear This Place
Apart Brick By Brick.

Where's Sondra?

Somewhere Around Here
Tearing My House Apart.

Did You Do
Something To Her?

I May Be Slightly Responsible
For All This.

I Told Sondra...

I Suggested That Our Mothers
Took The Babies

Because They Wanted
To Spend Time With Them.

I Had No Idea
She'd Get This Upset.

I Should Have Known
They Wouldn't Be Upstairs.

That's Too Obvious.

I'll Find Them.

When I Do

Someone's
Going To Pay.

What Do I Do?

Find The Babies.

Do You Know Where They Are?

Man, All I Know Is My Wife
Left Out Of Here Screaming

That I Don't Know
Anything About Medicine.

That's All I Know.

I Don't Know Where My Wife Is.

How Can You Not Know
Where Your Wife Went?

I Have About As Much Control
Over My Wife

As You Have
Over Yours.

At A Time Like This

My Life Must Look Pretty Good
To Both Of You.

They're Not In The Kitchen,
The Basement Or The Garage.

Did You Check
Under The Couch?

We're Going To
Your Mother's House.

If They're Not There,
We'll Try My Grandparents'.

Then We'll Try
Your Aunt's.

My Aunt Lives In The Bronx.

I Don't Care.

If We Have To,
We'll Drive To Ohio.

We'll Drive To Florida.

We'll Drive Anyplace
To Get Those Babies Back.

What Do I Do?

Send Me A Postcard.

Elvin, Move It!

Better Move It, Boy!

You See What A Normal Dietary
Plan For An Adult Should Be.

We'd Like To Show You
A Photograph

Of A Heart Of A Person

Who Has Spent A Lifetime
Consuming Fatty Foods.

Notice The Abnormal Amounts
Of Fatty Deposits

On The Inside Of The Heart
And The Arteries.

These Deposits Severely
Restricted The Flow Of Blood

Through The Heart
And The Circulatory System

And Resulted In
The Patient's Untimely Death.

Hi, Ladies.

We Were In
The Neighborhood

So We Thought
We'd Stop By

With Our Friends.

I Got To Take
A Picture.

Come Down Here
While I Get My Camera.

We Came
From The Mall.

A Dozen People Wanted
To Pinch Their Cheeks.

I Don't Blame Them.

They're Irresistible.

Look At These Faces.

Look, He Loves You.

You Are Irresistible,
Aren't You?

I'm Ready
For The Pictures.

Wait! We Got
To Do Their Hair.

(Squealing)

Yes, Let's.

This Is A Boy.

You Cannot Put
That Ribbon In His Hair.

I'll Spike It.

That's Perfect.

Yeah, Yeah.

Now... Look At That!

Are They Ready For
A Fashion Magazine, Or What?

Okay.

Now, Everybody Smile.

Say "Baby Cheese."

Baby Cheese.

You Know Who Will Love
These Pictures?

Sondra.

You Know It.

She Is So Lucky

To Have People
Like Us In Her Life.

You Should Have Heard The Way
Sondra Gave It To Dad.

Sondra Yelled At Dad?

Theo Told Me
All About It.

She Wailed On Dad.

Showed Him No Mercy.

Do You Know
What This Means?

That When We Grow Up,
We Can Yell At Dad Too.

It Means Dad Is Probably
Very Hurt By What Happened.

It's Up To Us
To Rebuild His Ego.

How Do We Do That?

I Don't Know.

This Has Never Happened Before.

Say Anything
To Make Him Feel Better.

Like What?

I Don't Know.

Just Say Something.

Hey, Guys.

Hi, Dad.

Hello, Father.

Hello, Daughter.

Dad, You've Been
A Great Influence On My Life.

I Have A Lot Of Respect For You.

Thank You.

As A Father And A Man.

Thank You.

Do You Want Us
To Do Anything?

We Recognize You
As The Authority Figure.

And You
Smell Good Too.

(Chuckling)

How Much?

Pardon Me?

How Much?

How Much Money
Do You Guys Want?

We Don't Want Money.

We Just Love You
Because You're Our Father.

Since You Asked,
I'll Take A Dollar.

Look Who's Here.

The Babies!

What Did You Do
To Their Hair?

We Stopped By
The Beauty Parlor.

We Have
Some Pictures Here.

Really?

Oh, I'm Sure Sondra
Will Love To Look At These.

We'll Take Them
By The Apartment.

I Don't Think It's
Going To Be Necessary.

She Should Be Coming Back Here
Pretty Soon.

Sondra Was Here?

Mm-Hmm. She Came Over
And Yelled At Dad.

Uh-Huh. She Wailed On His Head.

She Did Not Wail On My Head.

Did You See Her
Wail On My Head?

How Can You Say Somebody
Wailed On Somebody's Head?

Give Me Back
That Dollar I Gave You.

Why Don't You Girls
Take The Babies Upstairs

And Change
Their Diapers.

Come On.

I'm Telling Sondra

Where The Babies Are
When She Gets Here.

Cliff,
What Is Going On?

Well, I Was Sitting Here.

My Son And I,
We Were Eating.

This Woman Came Into
The House With This Mask On

And Said, "Halt!
Don't Anybody Move!

Where Are They?
Where Are My Daughters?"

She Is Looking
For The Two Of You

And She Is Serious.

She Thinks You Two
Went To Her House

To Deliberately Take
Those Children Away From Her.

That Is Absurd.

Did We Go Over There
To Take Those Babies?

Yeah.

In The Car, You Said, "Those
Babies Are Coming With Us

No Matter What She Says."

We Did It For
Their Own Good.

You Don't Have
To Tell Me Anything.

I'm Not The Person
Who's Looking For You.

And She Is Looking
For Both Of You.

And I'll Tell You
Another Thing.

When She Finds You,
I'm Going Under A Rock.

It Isn't Going To Be
Anything Like That.

I'll Just Apologize.

Coming From One Mother
To Another, She'll Understand.

Fine With Me.

Tell Me Anything.

Elvin, Block This Exit.

Hi, Everybody.

Don't Be Nice To Them.

Sondra, I See
You're Upset.

We Took The Babies.

For That,
I Apologize.

So Do I.

I'm Very Sorry.

We Had The Best
Of Intentions

And They Had
A Great Time With Us.

See, We Have Pictures.

You Took My Babies
To The Beauty Parlor?

Yeah, They Were A Hit.

You Took Them From Me
So They Wouldn't Get Germs

Then You Took Them

Where Dozens Of People
Breathed On Them!

Sondra.

I Am Talking.

These Are My Children.

I Gave Birth To Them.

Do You Know How Hard It Is

To Give Birth
To Two Babies At Once?

If You Try
This Again

The Next Time
You'll See Them

Will Be At Their
College Graduation.

Elvin, Get Upstairs
And Get Our Babies.

Keep Me Covered.

Nobody Moves Until
I'm Out Of Here.

If Anyone Tries
To Follow Us

They're Going To Get It.

Do You Think It's Safe
For Us To Move Now?

Do You Feel Lucky?

(Chuckling)

I Just Have To Give You
A Little Bit Of Tea Here.

Try And Sooth
Your Little Head.

Your Daughter Came
Over Here Today

And Ran Over Your Face.

She Did Not Run
Over My Face.

Tell Me Anything While
I'm Looking At You.

She Stood With
A Mask On And Said

"You Are My Mother
And I Am Their Mother

And Don't You Go
No Farther, Mother."

You Enjoyed That,
Didn't You?

Are You Kidding Me?

I Was Tasty Pudding, Man.

I Was Enjoying That.

We Thought We Were Doing
The Right Thing.

We Just Got Carried Away.

Why Don't You Stop It?

The Funniest Thing
Is The Two Of You--

I Don't Know What
You Call Yourselves

Or What Act It Is--

Went Over There And
Took The Woman's Children

After Telling Me

"You Don't Know
Anything About Medicine.

What Do You Know About
Strep Throat And Penicillin?"

Went Over There
And Did Something

That Even I, A Doctor...

I Have More Sense Than To Take
A Woman's Children Away.

How Did You Come
To Know So Much?

I Was About Ten Years Old

And It Was
A Little Blue Jay.

A Little Baby Blue Jay.

It Was Flying Around

And Hit A Tree

And Went Down, Boom.

I Picked It Up
And Dusted It Off

And Said,
"If I Help This Bird

He Will Be My Friend."

Like Your Pet Bird, Charlie?

No, No, No,
I Sat On Charlie.

I Was Just Brushing Him
And I Looked Up

And This Mother Blue Jay
Was Flying At Me

And Her Face Was Like This.

I Don't Know What
She Thought I Was Doing.

She Landed On Top Of My Head...

And Started Picking
My Hair Out

And Was (Click Click)

Like That--

Digging The Claws In.

Then She Came 'Round
To The Front

And Started Picking
On My Forehead.

That's What Happened
To You Today.

You Got Your Forehead Pecked On.

I Guess So.

What Happened
To The Baby Blue Jay?

I Came In,
And My Mother Said

"What Is The Matter
With Your Forehead?"

You Know How She Talks.

"What Is The Matter
With Your Forehead?"

It Had All These
Little Holes In It.

She Went Upstairs,
Got My Football Helmet

Put It On,
Grabbed The Baby Blue Jay.

The Mother Landed
On My Mother's Head

Started Pecking On The Helmet.

My Mother Said, "See?"

You Have Proven My Point.

Let The Record Show

You Did Not Know
What You Were Doing.

Your Mother Knew.

Are You Saying The Next Time
You Go Over To Sondra's

You're Going To Wear
A Football Helmet?
