All language subtitles for Archie Bunkers Place - 2x03 - Home Again

- Two coffees.
- One with sugar, one without.

Oh, uh, which one's mine?

The one with.

Well, which one is it?

You know something,
I think that
counselor is right.

Stephanie can't
handle things
the way you can.

So, I think you ought to
do whatever the counselor
told you to do.

That's what I say.

Yeah, but she said that
I ought to let Stephanie

help me go through
all of Edith's stuff,
you know, and pack,

and maybe let her
keep something
that belonged to her.

That's a good idea.

I kept my Aunt Josie's
amethyst rosary beads

It's over a month.

It's time.

Yeah, well, I guess
it's gotta be done.

- Well, who else is gonna do it?
- -Veronica.

What?

- No, no, no, no.
- I know what you're thinking.

You want me to go over
to your place tomorrow

and help pack up all of
Edith's clothes and stuff.

You wouldn't have to
do it alone, you know.

I could
get our neighbor
Polly Swanson

to come in and help you.

Oh,
Archie. Archie.

Aw, jeez, oh, man.
All right, all right,
forget it. Forget it.

I'll do it, I'll do it!

I just gotta do this first.

- Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
- Where are you going?

I'm going inside
to cheer her up.

In the ladies' toilet?

One other thing
the counselor told me,

that it would be good
if Stephanie had
a heart-to-heart talk

about how she feels
about all of this.

Well, that's an excellent idea.

Good, come over tonight.

- Oh, no. I can't do it.
- You have to do it.

Oh, no, no, no.
The counselor said that

I was the very last person
who should try to do that.

She said I should get
a close family friend.

She made a particular
point of that.

That doesn't sound right to me.

Aw, come on.
What do you mean,
it don't sound right to you?

- It doesn't sound right.
- I'm trying...

Hey, fellas,

this problem is getting
to be well-known out here.

You just told me
to do everything
the counselor told me.

Well, all right, I'm doing that.

And let me tell you something.

She was a very
brilliant young woman.

Jewish, I think.

What has that got
to do with anything?

Do you wanna be
a close family
friend or don't you?

Now, how about
the ice cream, huh?

Oh. No, Arch.
No more for me.
I'm full up.

No ice cream, huh?

Boy, that dinner was...
That was good.

Oh, well, there's nothing to it.

All you need is the time,
the talent, and
the Colonel's phone number.

Okay, when you're finished
I'll do up the dishes here,
huh?

- Can I help?
- No, no, no.

Let me do this...
I'll do this myself,
you know?

I bought this
new detergent
I wanna test out.

It's supposed to make
your hands as smooth
as a baby's behind.

Well...

That chicken was
good, wasn't it?

Fine. Good night.

Cole slaw was tasty, wasn't it?

It was creamy.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.
Where you going?

To my room.

You know, Steph,

you and I haven't
had a good talk
for a long time.

How about a little
talk right now?

What do you want to talk about?

Well, let's talk about you, huh?

How you been feeling lately?

Okay.

Okay, huh?
Come here, sit down.

You know, you can tell me
if you haven't been
feeling good lately.

You know that, hmm?

Here you go.

I heard that
you missed school for
a couple of days there.

You know, Steph,

a couple of years ago,

when my father died,

I remember
not wanting to talk
to anybody about it.

Then one day
I decided to
talk about it.

I want to tell you,
I felt so much better.

I want to talk to him
about my Aunt Edith,

but he won't let me.

He won't?

No.

Every time I mention her,

he changes the subject
or gets mad.

And he's been acting so weird.

Well, how do you mean?

He won't answer the phone,

he won't open
all the cards
we've been getting,

and he's sleeping
on the couch now.

Every night?

Uh-huh.

Ever since Aunt Edith died.

Can I go now?

Mmm. Hmm? Yeah, yeah.

Thanks.

Yeah. Good night.

Ow! Jeez!

What happened?

You crushed my earlobe.

Well, I didn't think
you were eavesdropping.

I wasn't eavesdropping.

What were you doing?

I was trying to eavesdrop,

but youse were talking too low.

So?

Well, we had a very
nice little talk.

And how are you getting along?

What do you mean, me?
I'm fine, fine.

Well, how come
you're sleeping
on the couch?

You wasn't supposed to be
talking to her about me.

Well, we did.

Well, jeez...

Didn't you ever
fall asleep in front of
the TV some night, huh?

You know? I mean,
every once in a while?

Yeah. Every
once in a while.

Yeah, sure, it happens.

I'll tell you something else.

You'd be surprised,
the interesting stuff
you pick up

on them late TV talk shows.

Hey, they're better than
the "National Enquirer."

Arch, will you level with me?

Now, you've been sleeping
on that couch every night.

Now, come on!

All right, I'll level with you.

I could never get
a decent night's rest
on that bed up there.

Now, that's the truth.

You know, Edith always
liked that bed,
but I never did.

And now that
I'm alone, you know,

I'm even thinking
about selling it.

I'll tell you something
you won't believe.

Yeah, I don't doubt that.

That old sofa there
is way more comfortable.

Why didn't you sign
the death claim?

- Hey, listen, Murray, You know, I think we've talked enough.
- Yeah.

I wanna thank you very much
for coming over and
helping me with the kid.

But, from now on,
you know, stay out
of my business, huh?

- Okay, all right.
- One more thing, though.

- Tomorrow.
- Now.

I came over here
to find out about
Stephanie's problem.

I did.

Her problem is you.

Bah!

You can come in.

Oh, that's nice,
you doing your
homework there.

Uh-huh.

I have to do a report.

Do you know anything
about Zimbabwe?

- Zimbabwe.
- Uh, that's...

a forward for the Knicks.
Big, tall colored guy, right?

Never mind.

Did you have
a nice talk
with Murray?

Uh-huh.

Do you wanna talk?

Well, I don't want to bother you

while you're doing
your homework there,
you know?

I mean, that's
the important thing.

You keep at that.

And,
I'll holler good night
through the door,

a little later.

Well, this looks
like the last of it.

You know, I must
have seen Edith
wear this dress 100 times.

I can just picture her in it,

running like crazy to the door.

Or running up the stairs.

Or running to the kitchen.

You know, your Aunt Edith
was into jogging
long before anybody else.

You know,

it feels real strange
going through her things.

It's like she's still here.

Yeah, it does feel funny.

I almost expect to
see her come walking
right in the door.

Uh... there's nothing left
of her things in the dresser.

This is it for the closet.

Stephie,
did you find something
you want to keep?

Uh-huh.

I'm gonna keep this pin.

Aunt Edith said
that she was going
to give it to me

for my 16th birthday.

So, I'm going to keep it
and not wear it until then,

and it'll be like
she is still here
to give it to me.

That's very sweet, Stephanie.

All right, where does
all of this stuff go?

Does it go over
to Jersey, or where?

Oh, no. Stephie and I
talked about it

and we decided that
Edith would want it
to go to the Sunshine Home.

That's where
my Aunt Edith worked,

for the old people
who don't have any money.

Let's take the stuff
down to the car.

Here, let me help you.

No, I got it, Polly.

I suppose it's wishful thinking

that Archie would be
back in time to help us.

Oh, he may be back,

just in time to hold
the door open for us.

Aw, jeez, look at this door.

Barney's dog could
get in here and
go all over the kitchen.

Hey, who left
the back door open?

- I did.
- I'll go close it.

Well, never mind,
I already done that,
honey.

- Hey, you're just in time.
- This here's the last box.

Oh, hey, I'd been back sooner,

but it's like a madhouse
at the supermarket,
you know?

A hundred old ladies
going crazy.

It seems they got
a new bag-boy,
looks like Merv Griffin.

Uh, that's the last of it, huh?

- That's it.
- Yeah.

All except for this.

Oh, thanks, honey.

Look what I've decided to keep.

This pin.

Yeah, okay.
That's very nice.

Yeah.

Well, I wanna thank
both of youse for helping.

- You're welcome.
- Any time, Arch.

- Hey, let's get going.
- Yeah.

Hey, I can help you there.

I'll hold the door open for you.

What'd I tell you?

Stephanie: Bye, Polly.
Bye, Veronica.

- So long, honey.
- Bye.

- Thank you.
- -I'll see you down at the bar, Veronica.

Yeah.

Hey, Polly,
I'll be yelling to you
over the back fence.

Okay, Arch.

Uh, why don't you
run upstairs
and hide that,

- you know?
- So that I don't...

I mean, so that
you don't lose it.

I won't lose it.

Do what I tell you.

Will you please
do what I tell you?

Oh, leave it to them
to forget something.

So, what did
youse forget? Oh!

Hello,
I'm Arlene Schiff from
Ultra-Lady Cosmetics.

Oh, well, I don't need
no cosmetics, there.

- I'm sure you don't.
- Is Edith at home?

No.

Oh. She knew I was
coming by today.

Yeah. Well, uh...
Yeah, she's gone.

Do you know when she'll be back?

No.

Well, I have the cosmetics
she ordered last month.

I'll just come back tomorrow.

Oh, no, no.
God, don't do that.

Step in, step in.

I suppose
there's something
owing on 'em, huh?

Yes, she has
a balance of $13.47.

Oh, well, uh, I got a $20 bill.

Oh, let me get you some change.

Oh, well, I'll tell you what,
don't bother with that, huh?

You keep the change.

Oh, well, thank you.

Listen, my number's there.

Tell her if she has
any questions
she can call me.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Thank you.

Yeah, yeah.
Don't mention it.

You never could say
no to nobody, huh.

You never could
turn nobody away.

It wasn't supposed to be
like this, you know.

I was supposed to be
the first one to go.

I know, I always
used to kid you,

about you going first.

You know I never
meant none of that.

And then that morning
when you was laying there,

and I was shaking you
and yelling at you
to go down,

fix my breakfast,

I didn't know.

You had no right
to leave me
that way, Edith,

without giving me
just one more chance

to say
"I love you."

She was the one
who was supposed to

stay down here with you,
you know.

Not me.

'Cause I ain't no good
at none of this.

Oh, well.

I'll tell you what we'll do.

On Saturday, you know,

I'll borrow Murray's car

and you and me,
we'll take a little ride
to the cemetery.

Can we bring flowers?

Yeah, sure.

What kind?

Carnations.

Oh, yeah, yeah, carnations.

She was always crazy
about carnations.

Come here.

Are you all right, now?

I'm all right.

Should I start cooking dinner?

Yeah, you can do that.

But first,

I think you'd better
go to the linen chest
out there

and get some stuff
for the bed here.

Jeez. Who the hell
stripped this bed?

Aunt Mabel from Hackensack.

Aw, jeez, Mabel from Hackensack!

How did she think
I was ever gonna
use my bed

without no sheets
and blankets
and pillowcases, here?

Oh, God, them people
from Jersey is brutes.
