00:01:41 - So, what do you do?
00:01:46 - I'm a longshoreman.
00:01:50 I mean really, too.
00:01:52 Although, starting next Monday,
00:01:53 I'm doing something
00:01:55 What's that?
00:01:56 Night cashier at a cafeteria.
00:01:59 I don't mean how you make money.
00:02:05 Honey, if I had the answer to that one,
00:02:08 I bet I'd bore us both to death
00:02:51 Thank God that's over.
00:02:55 So much for the debut
00:02:59 And she was very disappointing.
00:03:09 - Frank! Very nice, Frank!
00:03:13 I can't tell you how much we enjoyed it.
00:03:17 I'll pass it along.
00:03:31 - Frank!
00:03:34 She's in there.
00:03:37 Couple of minutes.
00:03:49 April? Sweetheart?
00:03:54 - Hi.
00:03:57 - You about ready to leave?
00:03:58 I've just got to get this makeup off.
00:04:08 Well, I guess it wasn't a triumph
00:04:14 - I guess not. I'll be ready in a minute.
00:04:23 Listen, will you do me a favour?
00:04:25 Milly and Shep wanted us
00:04:28 Will you say we can't? Say it's because
00:04:32 Well, the thing is,
00:04:34 I mean, I just saw them
00:04:36 Then would you mind going out again
00:04:38 That should be simple enough.
00:04:39 Don't you think
00:04:41 - Then I'll tell them myself.
00:04:44 All right? I'll tell them.
00:05:28 I mean it, baby.
00:05:31 Thank you.
00:05:35 We shouldn't have let you get
00:05:38 All right.
00:05:41 What a bunch of amateurs. I mean,
00:05:44 Could we stop talking about it now?
00:05:46 Sure.
00:05:49 I just don't want you
00:05:51 Because it's not worth it, you know.
00:05:53 It's bad enough having to live out
00:05:57 - What'd you say?
00:05:59 Could you just stop talking about it now
00:06:09 What are you doing?
00:06:19 April, sweetheart,
00:06:23 - No, Frank, please don't do that.
00:06:26 - Don't touch me.
00:06:28 Just leave me alone.
00:06:37 Okay. Okay.
00:06:40 It strikes me that there's a considerable
00:06:44 And there's just a few things
00:06:47 Number one, it's not my fault
00:06:52 Number two,
00:06:54 that you didn't turn out to be an actress,
00:06:57 and the sooner you get over
00:06:59 the better off we're both going to be.
00:07:00 Number three,
00:07:03 of dumb, insensitive suburban husband.
00:07:06 You've been trying to lay that crap
00:07:09 And I'm damned if I'll wear it.
00:07:11 Number four... April? April!
00:07:18 April.
00:07:20 What the hell are you doing?
00:07:22 No. I will in a minute.
00:07:26 God damn it!
00:07:31 April, can you please just get back
00:07:34 instead of running all over Route 12?
00:07:36 Haven't I made it clear I don't
00:07:39 Okay. I mean, Jesus,
00:07:41 about this thing here, for God's sake.
00:07:43 How kind of you.
00:07:46 Wait a minute. I don't deserve this.
00:07:47 You're always so wonderfully definite
00:07:49 on the subject of what you do
00:07:51 Wait a minute! Wait a goddamn... April!
00:07:56 This is one time
00:07:58 with twisting everything that I say, April.
00:08:00 This just happens to be
00:08:02 I know I'm not in the wrong here.
00:08:04 Christ, I wish
00:08:05 You know what you are
00:08:07 You're sick. I really mean that.
00:08:08 - You're sick! What?
00:08:11 - You're disgusting.
00:08:12 You don't fool me, Frank.
00:08:14 Just because you've got me safely
00:08:16 you think you can bully me into feeling
00:08:18 - You in a trap? You in a trap?
00:08:21 - Jesus Christ, don't make me laugh!
00:08:24 You pathetic, self-deluded little boy.
00:08:27 Look at you and tell me, how by any
00:08:31 you can call yourself a man?
00:08:36 Damn it!
00:08:38 Jesus Christ!
00:08:55 - Don't look at me like that, April.
00:11:06 Fifteenth floor.
00:11:19 I'm going to need your help
00:11:24 For the next few hours, you're to warn
00:11:29 and you may need to shield me
00:11:31 in the likely event I void my stomach.
00:11:34 It's that bad.
00:11:36 Good morning, Jack.
00:11:38 Nothing good about it, I assure you.
00:12:03 Of course, I knew the moment
00:12:05 what you were looking for.
00:12:06 A small remodelled barn,
00:12:10 And I just hate to be
00:12:12 just isn't available any more.
00:12:14 But I don't want you to despair.
00:12:17 There is one place up here
00:12:22 Now, of course, it isn't very desirable
00:12:25 As you can see, Crawford Road
00:12:28 pick-up trucky places,
00:12:32 little local people of that sort.
00:12:34 But eventually...
00:12:35 Eventually it leads up to Revolutionary
00:12:40 Now, the place I want to show you
00:12:42 is a sweet little house
00:12:46 Simple, clean lines, good lawns,
00:12:51 It's just around this next curve.
00:12:54 Now, you'll see it. There.
00:13:01 The perky way it sits there on
00:13:09 Oh, yes.
00:13:21 You wanted to see me?
00:13:23 Came for you from Toledo this morning.
00:13:26 Sorry. I thought I'd taken care of...
00:13:28 I'm not prepared to have this
00:13:30 - You understand?
00:13:32 These folks in the provinces look up
00:13:35 We can't have this
00:13:38 - It's just not efficient. Am I right?
00:13:45 - What was that about?
00:13:48 Branch manager wants
00:13:50 for the conference on the Knox 500.
00:13:53 "It's just not efficient. Am I right?
00:13:57 Sounds like a goodie.
00:13:59 For God's sake. I don't even know what
00:14:02 Don't insult me.
00:14:18 If you'll look in the inactive file
00:14:23 you'll find copies of all the stuff we sent
00:14:27 that way we can trace the thing back
00:14:36 Listen, I hope you weren't planning
00:14:39 No. I'm not really hungry.
00:14:42 Good. I'll check on you later then.
00:14:45 - Okay.
00:14:52 You know something, Maureen?
00:14:55 You're lucky you met me.
00:14:58 How's that?
00:15:02 I think I can show you the ropes,
00:15:04 There's a certain art to survival at Knox.
00:15:10 Waiter. Bring me the telephone,
00:15:16 Wow.
00:15:24 Klondike 5-55-66, please.
00:15:30 Hello, Mrs Jorgensen?
00:15:33 I just wanted to let you know
00:15:36 down to Visual Aids for me.
00:15:39 I'll probably need her
00:15:43 You, too. Take care now.
00:15:50 - I never even heard of Visual Aids.
00:16:18 Hi, Helen. Come on in.
00:16:21 I can't stay a minute.
00:16:23 I just wanted to bring
00:16:26 for that messy patch
00:16:29 It's like the European houseleek,
00:16:31 only these have the most marvellous
00:16:35 Now, all it wants for the first few days
00:16:37 is just a tiny dollop of water,
00:16:41 Well, thank you, Helen.
00:16:44 Would you like some coffee?
00:16:58 Is there something
00:17:01 I almost forgot.
00:17:03 There is one small favour
00:17:07 It's about... It's about my son, John.
00:17:14 I'm sorry. Is everything all right?
00:17:16 Well, actually, just for the time being,
00:17:26 - Oh, I see.
00:17:30 He just got a little run down. Things can
00:17:35 - Don't you agree?
00:17:40 It's a marvellous facility
00:17:42 and the treatments
00:17:45 Anyway, they said getting him out
00:17:47 might do him a little bit of good.
00:17:50 I think he finds my friends
00:17:54 I mean, he's travelled.
00:18:00 I suppose you could say
00:18:05 It would do him a world of good
00:18:08 Well, we'd love to meet him.
00:18:13 - Really?
00:18:16 We'd love to.
00:18:19 Thank you, dear.
00:18:24 Thank you.
00:18:28 Well, I must be off.
00:18:41 I remember the first day
00:18:45 You weren't like my other clients.
00:18:49 You just seemed special.
00:18:58 Of course, you still are.
00:19:01 Remember, just a dollop. I must scoot.
00:19:11 Bye.
00:19:29 I think you got me a little drunk.
00:19:39 You know what today is?
00:19:41 Monday?
00:19:45 It's my birthday. I'm 30 years old today.
00:19:51 - Happy birthday!
00:20:00 What was the name of that department
00:20:11 Visual Aids.
00:20:14 What a joke.
00:20:19 What a joke. Oh, my.
00:20:25 - You want to hear a real joke?
00:20:31 - My old man worked at Knox.
00:20:36 He was a salesman in Yonkers.
00:20:41 Once a year he used to take me
00:20:46 It was supposed to be a very special,
00:20:50 - Nice.
00:20:55 I used to sit there and think,
00:20:59 "I hope to Christ I don't end up like you."
00:21:06 Now, here I am,
00:21:13 Can you beat that?
00:21:17 I think I kind of lost you...
00:21:23 Your father worked for Knox?
00:21:25 I'm sorry, everything's just kind of
00:21:38 Why don't we get some air,
00:22:22 Is this you?
00:22:25 Yeah.
00:22:26 - You been to Paris?
00:22:31 Maybe I'll take you with me then.
00:22:34 I'm going back the first chance I get,
00:22:37 People are alive there. Not like here.
00:22:47 All I know, April, is I want to feel things.
00:22:53 Really feel them, you know.
00:22:59 How's that for an ambition?
00:23:03 Frank Wheeler? I think you're the most
00:23:17 I guess this wasn't what you had in mind
00:23:22 No. It certainly wasn't.
00:23:43 Do you have a cigarette, Frank?
00:23:47 Yeah, sure.
00:23:56 There you go.
00:24:00 Can I get you a drink or anything?
00:24:03 No thanks, Maureen. Actually, it's...
00:24:06 It's getting kind of late.
00:24:11 Gee, that's right.
00:24:16 That's all right, I'll catch the next one.
00:24:20 Listen, you were swell.
00:24:30 Take care now.
00:25:06 - Frank.
00:25:10 First of all, I missed you all day
00:25:15 I'm sorry for the way I've been
00:25:18 I'm sorry for everything, and I love you.
00:25:24 The rest can wait.
00:25:26 Now, you just wait here
00:25:32 Okay.
00:25:43 All right, Frank. You can come in now.
00:26:00 Happy birthday to you
00:26:06 Happy birthday, dear Daddy
00:26:11 Happy birthday to you
00:26:17 Happy birthday, darling.
00:26:19 - I love you, Daddy.
00:26:39 Frank.
00:26:47 Frank. I have had
00:26:52 - I've been thinking about it all day.
00:26:56 Do you know how much money
00:26:58 Enough to live on for six months
00:27:01 And with the money we could get from
00:27:05 "What we could get for the house"?
00:27:07 Sweetheart, what are you talking about?
00:27:11 Paris.
00:27:14 What?
00:27:15 You always said it was the only place
00:27:17 that you wanted to go back to,
00:27:21 So why don't we go there?
00:27:22 - You're serious?
00:27:27 What's stopping us? Well, I can think
00:27:31 For example, what kind of a job
00:27:35 You won't be getting any
00:27:39 Oh, right, right.
00:27:41 Don't laugh at me. Listen a minute.
00:27:44 Do you know what they pay
00:27:46 - in government agencies in Europe?
00:27:49 Listen, Frank, I'm serious about this.
00:27:52 Okay, okay.
00:27:54 For one thing, what exactly
00:27:57 while you're out earning all this money?
00:28:00 Don't you see? That's the whole idea.
00:28:04 You'll be doing what you should've
00:28:07 You'll have time.
00:28:09 For the first time in your life
00:28:11 what it is that you actually want to do.
00:28:14 And when you figure it out,
00:28:15 you'll have the time and the freedom
00:28:22 Sweetheart, it's just
00:28:30 No, Frank. This is what's unrealistic.
00:28:34 It's unrealistic for a man
00:28:38 year after year at a job he can't stand,
00:28:41 coming home to a place he can't stand,
00:28:43 to a wife who's equally unable to stand
00:28:48 Do you want to know the worst part?
00:28:51 Our whole existence here
00:28:55 that we're special and superior
00:28:59 But we're not.
00:29:02 We're just like everyone else.
00:29:04 Look at us. We've bought into
00:29:08 This idea that
00:29:10 and settle down the moment
00:29:14 And we've been
00:29:17 Listen, we decided to move out here.
00:29:20 No one forced me
00:29:22 I mean, whoever said I was meant
00:29:25 When I first met you, there was nothing
00:29:29 When you first met me
00:29:31 with a big mouth, that's all.
00:29:32 You were not.
00:29:38 Okay. Okay, so I'll have time.
00:29:42 And God knows that's appealing.
00:29:45 And everything you're saying
00:29:48 if I had a definite talent,
00:29:51 No. But, Frank, listen. Listen to me.
00:29:54 It's what you are that's being stifled.
00:29:57 It's what you are that's being denied
00:30:03 And what's that?
00:30:08 Don't you know?
00:30:12 You're the most beautiful
00:30:20 You're a man.
00:30:40 This is our chance, Frank.
00:30:52 Okay.
00:30:57 Okay?
00:31:00 Why not? Why the hell not?
00:31:28 - Good morning, all.
00:31:30 Franklin. Good to see your shining face.
00:31:33 - What's the news?
00:31:40 Indeed. And I'm moving to Tangiers.
00:32:00 Intra-company letter to Toledo.
00:32:03 Attention B.F. Chalmers,
00:32:09 With regard to recent and repeated
00:32:12 this is to advise
00:32:15 very satisfactorily taken in hand, period.
00:32:18 Paragraph. We wholly agree that
00:32:24 To this end, we have developed, quote,
00:32:33 "Speaking of Production Control."
00:32:45 Here you go, Mrs Wheeler. These are
00:32:50 - Yes.
00:32:54 These I'll pass on
00:32:56 - Good luck.
00:33:03 September. October at the outside.
00:33:07 I just happen to think
00:33:09 doing some kind of work
00:33:12 - Right. Right, yes.
00:33:15 But, I mean, assuming there is
00:33:21 wouldn't you be just as likely
00:33:27 I don't think it's possible
00:33:29 on the 15th floor of the Knox building,
00:33:33 and I don't think any of you do either.
00:34:35 Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!
00:34:39 - Michael.
00:34:41 ...all the way to here.
00:34:47 We have to take a big boat ride
00:34:51 - But I won't know anybody there.
00:34:56 But remember how you felt
00:34:58 And now look
00:35:01 You'll never guess
00:35:05 - You'll never guess.
00:35:08 - Slimy snails.
00:35:10 Slimy snails and icky frog's legs.
00:35:26 Milly, where are you, doll?
00:35:29 You better get changed,
00:35:33 - Is that what you're wearing?
00:35:37 Yeah, yeah. You look great, doll.
00:35:42 Guess I better haul ass.
00:36:01 Hiya, gang.
00:36:07 What you watching?
00:36:49 Shep?
00:36:52 I was calling you and calling you.
00:36:57 Hi.
00:37:05 Here we go. Just a little something.
00:37:10 - Those look great. I'm starving.
00:37:16 you look like the cat that ate the canary.
00:37:20 Do you have something to tell us?
00:37:24 Well, actually, Milly, we... Well, we do
00:37:28 I knew it.
00:37:30 Honey, why don't you tell them?
00:37:35 We're going to Europe. To Paris.
00:37:43 To live.
00:37:48 - What?
00:37:51 - In September.
00:37:56 What for?
00:38:00 Because the kids are young enough.
00:38:03 I mean, really.
00:38:07 - Yeah, it's a great city.
00:38:16 When did you make this decision?
00:38:20 About a week ago?
00:38:23 We just suddenly decided to go,
00:38:25 - About a week ago, you tell us now.
00:38:29 So, what's the deal, Frank?
00:38:32 - No, no. Not exactly.
00:38:39 Frank won't be getting
00:38:46 So what are you going to do, Frank?
00:38:48 I'm going to study.
00:38:52 I suppose I'm going to finally figure out
00:38:57 While she supports you?
00:39:00 Yes. While she supports me.
00:39:03 In the beginning.
00:39:05 You wouldn't believe what they pay
00:39:08 in those government agencies
00:39:10 NATO and ECA and those places.
00:39:14 And the cost of living
00:39:15 It's so cheap.
00:39:19 The truth is we just need
00:39:22 We're not getting any younger and
00:39:26 That's right.
00:39:28 Gee, it sounds wonderful, kids.
00:39:32 I mean it. It really sounds wonderful.
00:39:35 - Thank you, Milly.
00:39:38 We'll certainly miss you both.
00:39:41 - Sure.
00:39:43 - Of course.
00:39:44 We should have a toast or something.
00:39:46 - To Paris.
00:39:48 To Paris.
00:39:50 - Cheers.
00:40:05 You know what I think?
00:40:08 What?
00:40:10 I think this whole plan
00:40:13 Oh, God, I am so relieved.
00:40:18 Me, too.
00:40:21 I mean, what kind of man
00:40:22 in his bathrobe all day picking his nose
00:40:24 - while his wife goes out and works?
00:40:27 I just don't know.
00:40:35 Why are you crying?
00:40:39 What's the matter?
00:40:45 It's nothing. I'm just so relieved.
00:40:51 Shep.
00:40:52 Don't cry. Please. It's all right.
00:41:01 My God, their faces! Oh, God.
00:41:07 Oh, God!
00:41:09 You know what this is like,
00:41:13 Just talking like this?
00:41:14 The whole idea of going off
00:41:18 This is the way I felt going up to the line
00:41:22 I mean, I was probably
00:41:25 but inside I never felt better.
00:41:29 I felt alive. I felt full of blood. I felt...
00:41:34 Everything just...
00:41:36 The guys in their uniforms.
00:41:38 The snow on the fields, the trees.
00:41:44 I mean, I was scared, of course.
00:41:47 But I just kept thinking,
00:41:56 I felt that way once, too.
00:41:59 When?
00:42:09 The first time you made love to me.
00:42:15 April.
00:42:55 Frank.
00:43:23 - What's up?
00:43:26 He's in Bandy's office.
00:43:30 Big deal, huh?
00:43:37 Looks like he wants to talk to you.
00:43:42 Hey, keep my name out of it.
00:43:51 Frank. Good to see you.
00:43:55 - Well, we've never met, but of course...
00:43:59 "Speaking of Production Control"?
00:44:05 Frank, this is a crackerfack.
00:44:12 They are tickled to death in Toledo.
00:44:23 Really?
00:44:26 So, this guy Pollock was perfect
00:44:30 A million dollar smile and about three
00:44:34 April, you should have heard this guy.
00:44:37 "Frank, this is a crackerfack."
00:44:41 Wish I'd seen his face
00:44:46 Yeah.
00:44:54 Here they come.
00:44:59 - Sorry to be late.
00:45:01 - The traffic was terrible.
00:45:04 - Good to see you.
00:45:06 Well, Route 12.
00:45:07 By the time they finish
00:45:09 they'll have to start all over again, right?
00:45:13 - And you must be John?
00:45:18 Nice to meet you. Heard a lot about you.
00:45:22 - Where are your darling children?
00:45:25 - Sorry they couldn't be here.
00:45:27 If I had a certified lunatic
00:45:30 I'd probably get the kids
00:45:32 Look at all this food. You didn't
00:45:37 It's just some sandwiches.
00:45:39 John, would you like a sandwich?
00:45:41 Helen's been talking it up
00:45:45 The nice young Wheelers
00:45:48 the nice young Revolutionaries
00:45:52 - Would anyone like some sherry?
00:45:56 I'd like some sherry.
00:45:58 And I'll drink Helen's, too,
00:46:03 But, hey, you got a highball glass?
00:46:06 Put a couple-three ice cubes in it,
00:46:10 - That's the way I like it.
00:46:19 This egg salad is delicious, April.
00:46:23 - You a lawyer, Frank?
00:46:26 I could use a lawyer.
00:46:28 John, let's not get started again
00:46:31 Pop, couldn't you just sit there
00:46:32 and eat your wonderful egg salad
00:46:36 See, I've got a good
00:46:39 and I'm willing to pay for the answers.
00:46:41 Now, I don't need to be told that a man
00:46:44 with a coffee table is putting himself in
00:46:49 John, come and have a look
00:46:52 If he hits her with it and kills her,
00:46:54 - Oh, look, the sun's coming out!
00:46:58 and give her
00:47:00 and she decides to
00:47:03 Maybe we'll have a rainbow.
00:47:05 Ma, how about doing everybody
00:47:09 Settle down, now.
00:47:12 Maybe I can look into it, recommend
00:47:23 So, what do you do, Frank?
00:47:27 I work at Knox Business Machines,
00:47:31 You design the machines?
00:47:32 - Nope.
00:47:36 - All these questions.
00:47:39 I work in the office. Actually, it's...
00:47:44 Well, it's sort of a stupid job, really.
00:47:45 There's nothing interesting
00:47:50 What do you do it for then?
00:47:52 Maybe Frank doesn't like
00:47:54 Okay, okay, okay.
00:47:57 And besides, I know the answer.
00:48:00 You want to play house,
00:48:03 You want to play very nice house,
00:48:06 then you've got to have
00:48:09 Anyone comes along and says,
00:48:11 He's probably on a four-hour pass
00:48:18 - All agreed? Ma?
00:48:21 Don't be. Don't be. Actually, John,
00:48:27 We both do. That's why I'm quitting
00:48:32 We're moving to Paris.
00:48:37 Did you know about this, Ma?
00:48:41 How do you feel about that, Ma?
00:48:49 The nice young Wheelers are taking off.
00:49:00 - John, please.
00:49:09 John. John. How about some fresh air?
00:49:13 If that's all right with you?
00:49:15 - I don't know if it's such a good idea...
00:49:19 - Good.
00:49:25 - I hear you're a mathematician.
00:49:32 All gone?
00:49:33 You know what
00:49:36 Yes. Yes, I do.
00:49:38 I've had 37.
00:49:44 Supposed to jolt out
00:49:47 - Just jolted out the mathematics.
00:49:52 "How awful"? Why,
00:49:58 No. Because the shocks
00:50:01 well, because it's awful not to be able
00:50:05 I think mathematics must be dull.
00:50:09 I like your girl, Frank.
00:50:11 Me, too.
00:50:13 So, what do a couple of people like you
00:50:16 - We're not running.
00:50:19 - A different way of life.
00:50:23 We're running from the hopeless
00:50:27 The hopeless emptiness?
00:50:33 Now you've said it. Plenty of people
00:50:40 but it takes real guts
00:50:48 Wow.
00:51:04 You know, he's the first person
00:51:06 who seemed to know
00:51:09 Yeah. That's true, isn't it?
00:51:17 If being crazy means
00:51:21 then I don't care
00:51:27 Do you?
00:51:31 No.
00:51:34 I love you so much.
00:51:47 Tell you something, Frank.
00:51:51 Real sport.
00:51:52 Good enough department head and all.
00:51:54 But I'm a little sore at him
00:51:56 under a bushel all these years.
00:51:59 - This place okay for you?
00:52:03 One thing interests me, Frank,
00:52:06 Selling the electronic computer
00:52:10 That's why I'm assembling a team.
00:52:15 Not your average salesmen.
00:52:17 It'll mean more money,
00:52:18 and, I got to be honest,
00:52:22 But you'll be a part of
00:52:25 Computers.
00:52:30 Well, sir, it sounds exciting.
00:52:33 - Bart.
00:52:40 Bart, let me ask you a question.
00:52:43 Do you happen to remember
00:52:48 - Can't say that I do. Relation of yours?
00:52:52 He worked as a salesman for Knox
00:52:57 Earl Wheeler.
00:53:04 There's no reason you'd remember him.
00:53:08 Well, I'm sure he was a good man.
00:53:18 Listen, Bart, there's something
00:53:25 I'm going to be leaving the firm
00:53:30 - Another outfit?
00:53:33 Now, look, Frank.
00:53:36 Because if it is, there's no reason
00:53:38 we can't get together on a satisfactory...
00:53:39 Well, I sure appreciate that,
00:53:42 It's... Well, it's more of a personal thing.
00:53:48 I hope you understand.
00:53:50 A personal thing?
00:53:53 I see.
00:53:55 Frank, let me tell you something
00:53:59 A man only gets
00:54:02 If he doesn't grab them by the balls,
00:54:04 it won't be long before
00:54:06 how he got to be second rate.
00:54:14 I guess so.
00:54:17 So, do me a favour. Sleep on it.
00:54:21 Discuss it with your wife.
00:54:25 Because let's be honest,
00:54:27 without our wives, anyway?
00:54:32 And, Frank, in all sincerity,
00:54:36 I believe it'll be a thing
00:54:40 And I believe something else, too.
00:54:43 I believe it'd be a fine memorial
00:54:49 Think about it, Frank.
00:54:59 Knowing what you've got, comma,
00:55:03 knowing what you need, comma,
00:55:07 knowing what you can do without, dash.
00:55:13 That's inventory control.
00:55:33 Knowing what you've got, comma,
00:55:38 knowing what you need, comma,
00:55:42 knowing what you can do without, dash.
00:55:48 That's inventory control.
00:55:52 Hi, Frank.
00:55:55 Working late?
00:55:57 Yeah. I got to dig myself out here.
00:56:03 I heard you were getting promoted.
00:56:07 Big shot.
00:56:12 I guess your dad would have been
00:56:23 Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.
00:56:35 So maybe I should take you
00:56:39 You know, celebrate.
00:56:47 Yeah, maybe.
00:56:53 I'll just get my things.
00:57:03 I'm going to bring my doll carriage
00:57:05 and my three Easter rabbits
00:57:08 and all my dolls and my doll house
00:57:11 I thought maybe
00:57:13 I don't want to give the doll house
00:57:15 But I already explained to you,
00:57:16 the big things
00:57:18 But she can have my bear,
00:57:19 - and my three Easter rabbits.
00:57:23 Look. Wouldn't you rather go outside
00:57:25 - I don't feel like it.
00:57:27 I don't feel like it.
00:57:29 Well, I don't feel like
00:57:32 to somebody who's too bored and silly
00:57:42 - All right, April. What's the matter?
00:57:45 I don't believe you.
00:57:48 Nothing happened today that I haven't
00:57:51 What?
00:57:53 Oh, God, Frank,
00:57:56 You mean you haven't guessed
00:57:58 April, what are you talking about?
00:58:03 I'm pregnant, that's all.
00:58:08 What?
00:58:09 Frank, I meant to wait
00:58:12 but I just...
00:58:15 and today I went to the doctor,
00:58:16 and now I can't even pretend
00:58:20 - How long?
00:58:25 Ten weeks. Ten weeks?
00:58:29 No, well, I thought... I don't know what
00:58:36 I know. I know you are. All right?
00:58:39 But there are things we can do.
00:58:42 We don't have to let this stop us
00:58:45 Remember that girl at school
00:58:47 As long as we take care of it
00:58:52 We've got to be together in this, Frank.
00:58:57 Well, we'll figure it out. All right?
00:59:04 Come here.
00:59:08 Twelve weeks.
00:59:12 Right.
00:59:16 I love you.
00:59:21 I love you, too.
01:00:07 So, Frank, how's work?
01:00:13 Actually, something kind of funny
01:00:18 I did some dumb little piece of work
01:00:21 and suddenly,
01:00:25 - That's always the way, ain't it?
01:00:28 I mean, I knocked this thing off
01:00:30 and now they want me to join
01:00:34 Morons.
01:00:38 Well, it would be funny
01:00:40 so much damn money.
01:00:46 So, are you tempted?
01:00:48 Well, it's just kind of ironic,
01:01:15 I thought you turned the job down.
01:01:19 Not yet.
01:01:21 It's just an option, that's all.
01:01:25 With the kind of money they're talking,
01:01:28 We could get a better place. Travel.
01:01:32 The point is, we could be happy here,
01:01:35 It is possible that Parisians
01:01:37 capable of leading
01:01:40 So you've made up your mind?
01:01:42 No. No. Like I said, it's just an option.
01:01:50 And supposing you're right.
01:01:53 You make all this money
01:01:57 Won't you still be wasting your life
01:02:03 Maybe we let that be my business,
01:02:05 Your business?
01:02:07 You know what? It's too hot for this.
01:02:23 - You don't want to go, do you?
01:02:26 No, you don't.
01:02:29 And if you don't try at anything,
01:02:32 What the hell do you mean I don't try?
01:02:34 I support you, don't I?
01:02:37 I work 10 hours a day
01:02:40 - You don't have to.
01:02:42 Look, I'm not happy about it.
01:02:43 But I have the backbone not to run away
01:02:46 It takes backbone
01:02:54 Where are you going?
01:02:55 If it's all right with you, April,
01:03:28 What the hell are you going to do
01:03:31 And what do you think
01:03:32 - You're going to stop me?
01:03:34 Go ahead and try.
01:03:35 Listen to me. You do this, April,
01:03:39 You'll what? You'll leave me?
01:03:42 When did you buy this, April?
01:03:43 How long have you had this?
01:03:45 Jesus Christ.
01:03:46 You really are being melodramatic
01:03:49 As long as it's done
01:03:52 - That's now, April! Don't I get a say?
01:03:56 It would be for you, Frank.
01:03:58 So you can have time,
01:04:00 How can it be for me
01:04:01 makes my stomach turn over,
01:04:04 Then it's for me.
01:04:05 Tell me we can have the baby
01:04:07 Tell me we can have a different life.
01:04:11 - We can't have the baby in Paris.
01:04:15 I don't need everything we have here.
01:04:18 I mean, who made these rules, anyway?
01:04:21 Look, the only reason we moved
01:04:27 Then we had another child to prove
01:04:29 I mean, how long does it go on?
01:04:33 Frank.
01:04:38 Well, do you? Come on, tell me.
01:04:43 Tell me the truth, Frank.
01:04:47 We used to live by it.
01:04:48 And you know what's so good
01:04:51 Everyone knows what it is,
01:04:55 No one forgets the truth, Frank.
01:05:01 So tell me,
01:05:08 All I know is what I feel.
01:05:12 And anyone else in their right mind
01:05:17 But I've had two children.
01:05:21 Christ, April!
01:05:24 You make it seem as if having children
01:05:28 I love my children, Frank.
01:05:32 And you're sure about that, huh?
01:05:35 What the hell
01:05:37 April, you just said our daughter
01:05:42 How do I know you didn't try
01:05:44 - or Michael for that matter?
01:05:45 How do I know you didn't try to flush
01:05:48 - down the toilet?
01:05:51 But how do I know, April?
01:05:53 Stop. Please just stop, Frank.
01:05:57 April, a normal woman,
01:06:01 doesn't buy a piece of rubber tubing
01:06:05 so she can live out
01:06:19 Look, all I'm saying is you don't seem
01:06:26 And I think it's about time
01:06:28 to help make some sense of your life.
01:06:31 And the newjob's going to
01:06:36 April, if you need a shrink,
01:06:42 Obviously.
01:06:48 Okay. I guess there isn't much more
01:07:02 So I guess Paris
01:07:11 I guess maybe it was.
01:07:26 April, we can be happy here.
01:07:31 I can make you happy here.
01:07:34 We've had a great couple of months.
01:07:40 We're going to be okay. I promise.
01:07:49 I hope so, Frank.
01:07:52 I really hope so.
01:08:35 Thank you for waiting.
01:08:40 Thanks so much.
01:08:52 Foiled by faulty contraception.
01:08:56 I can't say that I'm sorry.
01:08:58 You'd have been sorely missed
01:09:02 Wouldn't have been the same
01:09:05 Besides... Well...
01:09:10 What?
01:09:13 The plan always seemed
01:09:23 I suppose
01:09:24 No. No. I suppose it isn't.
01:09:31 Well...
01:09:35 They'll be celebrating
01:10:08 Hey! Do you remember the first time
01:10:11 Absolutely.
01:10:12 You said it takes a special kind of taste
01:10:17 It's so awful, it's kind of nice.
01:10:23 Look at me. I'm just so happy.
01:10:33 How do you like the boys in the band?
01:10:42 - Hey, Europe's not going anywhere.
01:11:08 April, honey, how about a dance?
01:11:13 Not right now. Maybe later.
01:11:16 - I'll dance.
01:11:34 Guess she's still pretty blue
01:11:37 Think she'll be okay?
01:11:39 Sure. Give us girls a couple of days
01:11:43 Right.
01:11:46 Frank.
01:11:57 Are you okay? Are you okay? Milly?
01:12:00 I'm so sorry.
01:12:03 Excuse me.
01:12:09 That's just great.
01:12:11 How the hell
01:12:15 Oh, boy.
01:12:18 Don't worry about it, Shep.
01:12:21 What about the sitter?
01:12:22 Listen, why don't you drive Milly home,
01:12:25 That takes care of both sitters.
01:12:28 - Yeah, it's fine by me.
01:12:32 - You... You'll be all right?
01:12:37 Okay.
01:12:39 - Good night.
01:12:42 Feel better.
01:13:03 I'm sorry you're not
01:13:07 I know it was important to you.
01:13:11 Don't take this wrong,
01:13:16 They don't have so much
01:13:20 It didn't have to be Paris.
01:13:23 You just wanted out, huh?
01:13:27 I wanted in.
01:13:32 I just wanted us to live again.
01:13:42 For years,
01:13:48 That we would be
01:13:54 I didn't exactly know how, but just...
01:13:58 Just the possibility kept me hoping.
01:14:08 How pathetic is that?
01:14:12 So stupid.
01:14:16 To put all your hopes in a promise
01:14:25 See, Frank knows.
01:14:28 He's found his place. He's just fine.
01:14:32 Married, two kids.
01:14:39 It should be enough.
01:14:46 It is for him.
01:14:52 And he's right.
01:14:56 We were never special or destined
01:15:01 Yes, you are.
01:15:04 You're...
01:15:07 You're the Wheelers.
01:15:09 You're a terrific couple.
01:15:13 I saw a whole other future.
01:15:19 I can't stop seeing it.
01:15:26 Can't leave,
01:15:30 can't stay.
01:15:33 No damn use to anyone.
01:15:43 Come on.
01:15:46 Let's do it.
01:16:57 Let me take you somewhere.
01:16:59 No. Just do it here. Now.
01:17:49 April.
01:17:53 This is what I've always wanted.
01:17:57 I love you.
01:17:59 Don't say that.
01:18:02 No. I mean it, I love you.
01:18:06 Please, just be quiet for a minute.
01:18:14 Then you can take me home.
01:19:07 It's beautiful out.
01:19:10 Yes, it is.
01:19:17 You know what today is?
01:19:19 - It's 12 weeks.
01:19:25 Look, this has been
01:19:29 We've both been under a strain.
01:19:31 I mean, I understand why you're upset.
01:19:35 You know I'm not sleeping with you,
01:19:40 Well, I'm sorry, Frank,
01:19:45 All right.
01:19:48 Would it be all right
01:19:52 I mean, can't we just take each day
01:19:56 and not feel like we have to talk
01:19:59 I don't think I'm suggesting that
01:20:03 Look, my point is we've both been
01:20:07 and we ought to be helping each other
01:20:11 I mean, God knows my own behaviour
01:20:18 As a matter of fact, there is something
01:20:24 I've been with a girl a few times,
01:20:29 A girl I hardly even know.
01:20:32 It was nothing to me,
01:20:35 but it's over now, really over.
01:20:40 And if I weren't sure of that, I guess
01:20:49 Why did you?
01:20:51 Baby, I don't know.
01:20:53 I think it's a simple case
01:20:56 after all that abortion business.
01:20:58 Some kind of neurotic,
01:21:02 No. I don't mean
01:21:05 I mean, why did you tell me about it?
01:21:10 - What do you mean?
01:21:15 Is it supposed to make me jealous
01:21:19 Is it supposed to make me
01:21:21 or back into bed with you, or what?
01:21:24 I mean,
01:21:29 Why don't you say what you feel, April?
01:21:33 I don't feel anything.
01:21:35 In other words, you don't care what I do
01:21:43 No, I guess that's right. I don't.
01:21:49 Fuck who you like.
01:21:51 April, don't you understand
01:21:54 I know. I know you do.
01:21:58 And I suppose I would if I loved you.
01:22:00 But I don't think I do any more.
01:22:03 And that's why I'd just as soon
01:22:07 Don't give me that shit, April.
01:22:09 - You know goddamn well you love me.
01:22:12 You know goddamn well!
01:22:16 Anyone home?
01:22:22 I'm sorry dinner's late.
01:22:25 Don't worry.
01:22:29 You shouldn't have gone to
01:22:31 With all your packing and whatnot.
01:22:32 I imagine you have a lot on your plate.
01:22:38 Actually, there's been
01:22:41 I thought maybe it was obvious.
01:22:43 April here is pregnant.
01:22:45 - Congratulations.
01:22:48 I can't tell you how pleased I am!
01:22:51 But I expect you'll be needing
01:22:54 Hold it a second, Ma.
01:22:57 I don't get this.
01:23:01 I mean, okay, she's pregnant, so what?
01:23:06 - John...
01:23:07 that people anywhere
01:23:10 unless they can afford them.
01:23:13 Okay. Okay, it's a question of money.
01:23:18 But it's hardly ever the real reason.
01:23:22 What's the real reason?
01:23:28 Little woman decide she isn't
01:23:33 No, no, that's not it. I can tell.
01:23:36 She looks too tough
01:23:41 Okay, then. It must've been you.
01:23:45 - John, please. You're being very rude.
01:23:56 You get cold feet?
01:23:57 You decide
01:24:01 You figure it's more comfy
01:24:05 here in the old hopeless emptiness
01:24:11 Oh, wow, that did it. Look at his face.
01:24:15 What's the matter, Wheeler?
01:24:17 - All right, Son. I think we'd better be...
01:24:21 I wouldn't be surprised
01:24:24 just so he could spend the rest of his
01:24:27 That way he'd never have to find out
01:24:31 Now look, I think that's just about
01:24:35 I mean, who the hell
01:24:37 You come in here and say
01:24:39 whatever crazy goddamn thing
01:24:42 and I think it's about time somebody told
01:24:45 - He's not well, Frank.
01:24:49 I don't give a damn
01:24:52 he should keep his fucking opinions
01:24:54 in the fucking insane asylum
01:25:01 - Let's go, Son.
01:25:07 Big man you got there, April.
01:25:11 Big family man.
01:25:17 I feel sorry for you.
01:25:21 Still, maybe you deserve each other.
01:25:25 I mean, the way you look right now,
01:25:31 You must give him a pretty bad time
01:25:33 if making babies is the only way
01:25:38 - You fucking...
01:25:54 All right, John.
01:26:03 April, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
01:26:06 Oh, right. Sorry. Sorry! Sorry!
01:26:11 Ma, have I said
01:26:14 Damn! I am sorry, too.
01:26:16 I bet I'm just about
01:26:20 But get right down to it, I don't have
01:26:24 Do I?
01:26:28 But, hey, you know what?
01:26:31 I am glad about one thing.
01:26:34 You want to know what I'm glad about?
01:26:38 I'm glad I'm not gonna be that kid.
01:26:58 Okay, okay, don't tell me.
01:27:03 Don't tell me, let me guess.
01:27:05 I made a disgusting spectacle
01:27:11 Right.
01:27:12 And everything that man said
01:27:13 Is that what you're going to say?
01:27:15 Apparently I don't have to.
01:27:17 - You're saying it for me.
01:27:21 - Really? Why am I wrong?
01:27:24 He's fucking insane! Do you know what
01:27:28 No. Do you?
01:27:29 Yes, it's the inability
01:27:33 It's the inability to love.
01:27:40 April. April.
01:27:43 April! April!
01:27:46 The inability... The inability to love.
01:27:52 Frank. You really are a wonderful talker.
01:27:55 If black could be made into white
01:27:58 you'd be the man for the job.
01:28:00 So now I'm crazy
01:28:03 - Is that the point?
01:28:05 You're not crazy and you do love me.
01:28:10 But I don't. I hate you.
01:28:13 You were just some boy
01:28:16 and now I loathe the sight of you.
01:28:19 In fact, if you come any closer,
01:28:23 I think I'll scream.
01:28:26 Come on. Stop this, April.
01:28:34 Fuck you, April!
01:28:36 Fuck you and all your hateful,
01:28:39 What're you going to do now?
01:28:42 - To show me how much you love me?
01:28:45 You're not worth the trouble
01:28:48 You're not worth the powder
01:28:51 You're an empty, empty,
01:28:56 What the hell are you doing in my house
01:29:01 Why the hell are you married to me?
01:29:03 What the hell are you doing
01:29:06 I mean, why didn't you just get
01:29:09 Because listen to me.
01:29:12 I wish to God that you had.
01:29:48 April!
01:30:23 - April!
01:30:26 - April, listen.
01:30:28 Can't I even get away from you
01:30:30 April, listen, I didn't mean that.
01:30:32 - Honestly, I didn't mean what I said.
01:30:34 Isn't there any way to stop your talking?
01:30:38 I need to think. Can't you see that?
01:30:44 Please come back to the house.
01:30:46 Do you want me to scream again,
01:30:47 Because I will! I mean it!
01:30:58 Okay. Okay.
01:34:34 Good morning.
01:34:41 Would you like
01:34:48 I don't know.
01:34:51 It doesn't really matter.
01:34:56 Fine. I'll have scrambled, too.
01:35:57 It's kind of nice having breakfast
01:36:02 Yes.
01:36:04 I thought you'd probably want
01:36:07 I mean, it's kind of an important day
01:36:11 Isn't this the day you have
01:36:17 Yes. Yes, that's right.
01:36:21 - Big deal.
01:36:26 For them, anyway.
01:36:29 What exactly do you think
01:36:33 You haven't really
01:36:36 Haven't I?
01:36:40 Well, I think this whole thing
01:36:42 to buy up one of those
01:36:46 even bigger than the 500.
01:36:49 - Didn't I tell you about that?
01:36:53 Why don't you tell me now?
01:36:59 Well,
01:37:01 you know, basically it's just a big,
01:37:08 Only, instead of mechanical parts,
01:37:12 you've got thousands
01:37:28 I see.
01:37:37 At least I think I see.
01:37:43 Yes, it's really kind of interesting,
01:37:49 Well, I don't know.
01:37:53 Yeah, I guess it is kind of interesting,
01:38:01 You should value what you do, Frank.
01:38:05 You're obviously good at it.
01:38:22 Well, I guess
01:38:32 Listen, though, April, the...
01:38:37 This was really nice.
01:38:40 I mean, it was a swell breakfast.
01:38:44 I don't know when I've ever had
01:38:50 Thank you. I enjoyed it, too.
01:39:15 Then you don't...
01:39:22 No. No, of course I don't.
01:39:37 Have a good day.
01:39:45 Okay, then. So long.
01:41:31 Hello. Milly? Everything all right?
01:41:38 Well, no, I'm afraid I'm not feeling
01:41:44 If it's not an inconvenience for you,
01:41:49 What?
01:41:53 Oh, no. No.
01:42:02 Don't call them in.
01:42:04 Just give them each a kiss for me,
01:42:10 and tell them I...
01:42:14 Tell them...
01:42:17 You know. All right. All right.
01:45:54 I think I need help.
01:45:59 115 Revolutionary Road.
01:46:29 - Frank. They tell you what happened?
01:46:32 Shep, I didn't understand
01:46:35 He said the foetus was out
01:46:38 And they had to operate to take out
01:46:43 And now she's still bleeding.
01:46:45 He said that she'd lost a lot of blood
01:46:48 and now they're trying to stop it.
01:46:50 He said a whole lot of things
01:46:56 He said that she's unconscious. Jesus.
01:47:00 Okay, Frank,
01:47:02 What the hell do I want to sit down for,
01:47:04 Okay, Frank. Just take it easy.
01:47:11 - Frank, have a cigarette.
01:47:16 She did it to herself.
01:47:26 I'm gonna get you some coffee.
01:48:39 They were such wonderful people.
01:48:43 It's just devastating. Poor April.
01:48:48 Thank you.
01:48:51 Frank lives in the city now.
01:48:55 - Bart Pollock Associates.
01:48:59 Interesting firm.
01:49:01 - Have you seen him since?
01:49:05 There are too many memories, I think.
01:49:09 Haven't you, sweetie?
01:49:11 Frank is just devoted to those kids.
01:49:15 Every spare moment he has,
01:49:34 Excuse me.
01:49:46 You all right?
01:49:53 I don't want to talk
01:49:58 Okay.
01:50:01 We don't have to.
01:50:49 Daddy, Daddy, watch. Watch, Daddy.
01:50:58 I can't tell you how pleased I am
01:50:59 about the little Revolutionary Road
01:51:03 And now whenever I drive past,
01:51:06 to see it all perked up
01:51:10 All the lights in all the windows.
01:51:14 And do you know? I was just thinking,
01:51:18 And the Braces are the only really
01:51:23 Really nice, congenial people, I mean.
01:51:26 Well, except for the Wheelers,
01:51:31 I was very fond of the Wheelers.
01:51:34 They were a bit whimsical for my taste.
01:51:39 I never stressed it, but they were often
01:51:40 very trying people
01:51:45 And actually, the main reason
01:51:49 was because they let it depreciate
01:51:53 Warped window frames, wet cellar,
01:51:58 filthy smudges around the door knobs
