Smells like a Catholic church in here. What are you doing?

Meditating.

This might sound really Western to me, but why?

Oh, you're looking at the book that Nancy left you.

The Once and Future Goddess.

Yeah. This is about if I want to transform myself, I have to totally

with my own inner goddess.

Your inner goddess.

Hinduism, the art of living.

Well, see, yeah, that's about how action sculptures your life.

In other words, you can't just sit there on your butt if you want your life to

turn into anything.

Oh, well, who would have thought that common sense would have been so ancient?

Yeah, in the Kabbalah, it says that only 1 % of us is physical, while 99

% of us is spiritual.

Oh, so there's math involved.

No. Oh, Jackie, come here, sit down. I'll show you how to do it. It's just

okay, you sit down, you kind of relax, you know, open up your palms and

everything, and you just kind of let all your worries and everything go.

You know, you kind of try to open yourself up so that you feel free, you

And then try to take in just a feeling of calm, of kind of personal power, you

know.

Concentrating on this great feeling of inner peace.

Um, before I forget, I ran into Dan at the gas station. He said he was going to

drop by and pick up Jerry.

That bastard!

Was that him calling first?

I thought I was just supposed to sit here on my butt all my life waiting for

him. Dan, calm down.

I will certainly not calm down. He can just go f*** himself up.

What doesn't kill us is making us stronger.

We're gonna last longer than that greatest wall in China.

Hold that rabbit with a drum.

If there's one thing that I've earned while waiting for my turn, it's

that it needs to light some rainbows, but you also get some sun, and we'll

out better than okay.

Hear what I say.

Hear what I say.

Roseanne, right? No.

David's still in Chicago, so she drove Darlene to see the doctor because she

wasn't feeling well.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah. No, it's just indigestion or something like that.

Roseanne knew I was coming to pick up Jerry, right?

Actually, I think that's the reason why she volunteered to drive Darlene.

I can understand that.

I'm not too crazy about me these days, either.

Well, come on in. He's all ready.

Hey, buddy.

Hi.

Hey.

You want a soda or something?

Yeah, thanks.

So how does it feel to be a captain of industry?

What?

No, I heard about how you guys bailed out the Wellman plant.

Oh, I know. Can you believe that? The two women voted most likely to burn the

factory down, end up saving it.

So is that why Roseanne's been seen around town with Edgar Wellman?

Where'd you hear that?

Lampard's not exactly a sprawling metropolis, Jackie. There's only two

go at night.

And I was in the one place where they were all talking about it.

Well, they've been spending some time together, if that's what you mean. Do

want ice in that? What does it mean, spending time together? What are you

to do with Jerry this afternoon?

Why are you answering my questions with questions?

Am I? Yeah, you are. Now, what's going on?

With what? Come on, Jackie. I need to know about this.

Is there something going on between Roseanne and this Wellman guy? Dan,

really... Attractive man. He's very charming.

He comes from a wealthy family.

Not that they have Connor money.

Why did Jackie talk to me?

Does she have feelings for this guy?

I don't know.

But he sure as hell has feelings for her.

As soon as I finish pairing my apple.

Roseanne, we're better than this. I love you. You love me. You know that.

Now, it's been 25 years before we even had one doubt about this relationship. I

think that's pretty good, don't you?

Yeah. Yeah, well, then we should work on it, you know, talk about it.

Darlene, me and your dad are in the middle of something important here.

Do you mind?

Well, I'm in the middle of participating in the miraculous creation of a complex

human being.

Bedroom?

Kitchen.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, son. How you doing? Good. What are you doing here? Well, I just came to

talk to your mom.

Could we have a minute?

Yeah, I just got to finish filming the last ten seconds of the Claymation

It should only take a couple hours.

Please? No.

Hi.

Hi.

No, now I'm reflecting on all the mistakes you guys made so I can break

cycle.

Too late. You're 20, you're married, and you're pregnant.

You're me.

George.

Hi. Hi.

Well, this ought to keep us awake.

Yeah, every one of my pores just slammed shut.

You know what this old porch needs is a swing.

This would be an okay conversation to have in, say, July.

About what happened in California.

Yeah, hit me with it, Dan. I'm numb from the cold.

I was stupid.

I was incredibly, incredibly stupid.

Don't forget, thoughtless, insensitive, and self -absorbed.

Well, I'm out of this kind of a blanket stupid.

You know, what can I say? She was there. She listened to me, and I fell for it.

You could have called me, David. I know.

Every time you did call, all you did was talk about the weather.

Yeah, I know. It's weird out there. It's really hot all the time. You get these

El Ninos, and then you get the Santa Ana winds, and I don't know if they're the

same thing or not, but it makes it hot, and it's really uncomfortable.

So is this the kind of thing that she listened to?

Well, yeah.

Rose, I came.

I mean, I was this close to making the biggest mistake of my life. Yeah, you

were, Dad.

I know.

I'm sorry I hurt you.

That killed me.

I know.

I'm sorry for it.

I'd love to make up for it. I mean, I'll do whatever you say. You just name it.

Good, because I got a whole top.

100 list I've been working on for a few weeks.

Yeah, well, uh... Maybe if I, uh... kind of start like this.

I hope you're not just hugging me to keep warm.

No.

But now that you mention it, you want to go back in?

No, it's too crowded in there.

Oh, I got an idea.

What do you say we take a ride up to Lanford Lake?

I'll bet the view's incredible up there and...

That new car's got heated seats.

It's got heated seats?

Thank God. I thought I was going through the change.

Wow.

So...

Oh, this is what's become a Lanford Leap.

I guess it's not a make -out spot once they turn it into a subdivision.

I remember right over there.

Man, if that guy's carport could talk.

Yeah. I don't know if I'd want to build my living room over a bunch of old beer

cans and prophylactics.

Hey, Dan.

Remember how we used to come up here and talk about the future?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I was going to be an all -pro defensive lineman for the Chicago Bears.

And I was going to change the world with my Pulitzer Prize -winning essays.

Gee, I wonder if old Edgar Wellman ever came up here.

Oh, probably not. This old man probably built him his own private make -out

spot.

All right, so what have you heard? Oh, nothing, nothing, just words like

dashing, suave, thin.

Silvermane Adonis squiring my wife about town.

Well, if I got squired, I think I would have known it.

You know, we did a business deal, and that's it. Anything else, just a big

rumor.

You know, we talked about how to structure the buyout and these pension

and these tax deals, and the word debenture kept coming up. This kind of

he had to listen to?

See, that's why nothing developed, because he expected me to listen to him.

available? Squire away.

Wouldn't the lady care to accompany me to yon boudoir?

Hope that's not the people telling us to get away from the front of their house.

What?

No, slow down, Jackie.

When?

Yeah, we'll be right there. Dan?

They took Darlene to the hospital.

Let's go.

Sure.

Since when did you start drinking coffee?

Today, now.

Well, now's as good a time as any, I guess.

Yeah, now I know what all the fuss is about.

Hi. What's going on? Is Sterling okay?

Yeah, she's okay. She was in a little bit of pain when we first got here, but

she's better now. She's in with the doctor.

So where's the kids?

Where's David? Mom's got the kids at home.

David is still in Chicago.

Did you call him? I tried to call him on both those numbers that Darlene left,

and I can't get him. Why doesn't he have a pop -up pager? Because nothing was

supposed to happen by now. He was going to get one in a couple weeks. Did the

doctor say anything about the baby? No.

Oh, man.

Don't jump to conclusions, Dan. We just don't know anything yet.

Hello, I'm Dr. Rudman. Are you Darlene's parents? Uh -huh. What's going on?

Well, your daughter went into labor, but we've given her a drug to try to stop

the contractions. Labor?

She's only seven months pregnant.

Well, that's way too early to deliver.

Well, that's why we're trying to keep the baby in the womb as long as

but so far she seems to be responding well to the medication.

Well, what about the baby?

Well, we have your daughter hooked up to a fetal monitor, and all the signs seem

normal. Oh, thank God.

Yeah, um, how long before they know anything?

Well, we're going to have to keep her here overnight for observation.

Uh, don't be alarmed. This happens all the time, okay? She should be home by

tomorrow morning.

Okay, so can we see her?

Yeah, sure, but only for a couple of minutes, okay? She needs the rest.

This way.

Come on, Deej.

Let's enjoy that coffee.

Hey.

Hey, how you doing?

How does it look like I'm doing?

What happened?

I don't know. I just felt like I had the flu, like kind of funky and tired.

And then it just kept getting worse.

Then these contractions started.

Did you go into labor?

No, I mean, they think that it's like false labor. Anyway, they gave me drugs

take care of it. And the doctor said it's not too uncommon.

Yeah. Well, you don't even look bad at all to me.

I don't know why they even put you in here. It's just probably some insurance

scam.

Yeah, you still look like my little girl.

Minus the attitude.

But that'll come back when the drugs wear off.

You can save the pep talk for when Jerry gets to Little League. I mean, I know

what's going on here.

Well, come on, Darlene.

You're pregnant with a Connor. You didn't expect it to be a typical

did you? Yeah, Connor kids usually wait until they're two or three to give you

this much trouble. Your child is obviously gifted.

I just hope the baby's going to be okay.

Well, I know you're scared, Darlene, but I'm sure everything's going to be just

fine.

Yeah, believe me, we're not going to let anything happen to you or the baby.

I know.

I just wish I didn't have to be here.

Well, we wish you didn't have to be here, too. But, you know, pregnancy, you

through some tough times.

Then, in the end, it's worth the trip.

Yeah, right. You said the same thing about driving to Gator World.

Yeah, but you got a couple of T -shirts and a hat out of that, right?

I'm glad you guys are here.

Well, you know, I haven't had any contractions in a while, so maybe I

to get some sleep or something now.

Oh, yeah, we'll be outside.

How is she?

She's looking good. She doesn't have any more contractions for a while, so she's

going to get some sleep.

Yeah, she's in good shape. I mean, she's got to stay here overnight and

everything, but she'll be fine.

So she's definitely coming home tomorrow?

DJ, doctors never tell you anything definitely.

That's how they keep from getting sued.

Yeah, so you're not going to miss any school on account of it. Come on, DJ,

let's go.

Call me if you need anything.

Thanks, Jackie.

It's going to be fine, honey. I know it.

Do you want to do a crossword puzzle, Dan?

Because the nurse up on three has got a whole bunch of them behind her desk

there.

No, thanks.

So why don't you go up to the candy machine on four, because that's the only

that they ever restock.

Stay away from the one on two.

They've still got Reggie bars up there.

Nate, you really know this place.

Well, did you forget I was here 24 hours a day when you had your heart attack?

I remember.

No, I sort of remember.

Boy, having a kid in the hospital sure puts all your stupid little problems in

perspective. It really does.

Like, you know, I was really upset with you about the whole nurse thing there

from the beginning.

I want you to know that.

I knew you'd be back, Dan.

I'm not going anywhere.

Good.

What floor did you say had the best candy?

Four. I think I'll go up there and see what they got.

Why don't you just go home, Dan? There's nothing else you can do here now.

It's late. You're tired.

Now, when you say home, do you mean home or back

to the hotel?

No, I mean home, if that's what you want. Oh, of course that's what I want

you want me.

Yeah, I do want you, Ben.

I love you, baby.

I love you, too.

Still not going home.

Well, then you better go round up enough candy for the both of us.

Hey, which one had that Reggie bar?

Two.

Excuse me. Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Conner.

How's Darlene?

Can we take her home now?

Actually, I'm afraid the contractions have started again. She's asking for

Oh, God.

How are

you doing,

sweetheart?

Not so good.

Where's David?

I don't know. He was on his way home from Chicago.

Well, he probably just got delayed. I heard on the radio there was a big

on the 290.

Oh, man.

No, don't worry about it, honey. We're here for you.

Isn't there something you should be doing for her?

Darlene, apparently the magnesium sulfate that we gave you earlier has

working. Now, there is another drug that we could try, and it's called

Ritidrine. Well, so give it to her. What are you waiting for? Yeah, go.

Well, this Ritidrine can have some very serious side effects.

I want you to know, if you take this drug, we're going to have to put you on

cardiac monitor because it can disrupt your heart rhythm and cause some chest

pains. You could also have shortness of breath, fluid in the lungs, and blood

clotting. It could even affect your blood cell count.

Well, are there any side effects for the baby?

Unfortunately, yes.

But considering the alternative, I don't see how we have any real choice here.

We will be monitoring the baby.

Well, then let's do it.

Darling, don't you want to wait and talk to David? Those are some pretty serious

side effects. I don't care.

Unless one of the side effects is death, then I'm taking this stuff.

All I want to do is save this baby.

Okay. Then let's get started.

Hey, what if this doesn't work?

Well, let's just hope it does. No, come on, just cut the crap here. I just need

to know what's going to happen.

Mrs. Conner, this is the drug of last resort.

If it doesn't work, she's going to have to deliver the baby.
