Hi, I'm Jason Seaver.

I'm a psychiatrist.

I've spent the last 15 years helping
people with their problems. And I'm

Seaver. I've spent the last 15 years
helping our kids with problems even

wouldn't believe.

Now Maggie has gone back to work as a
reporter for the local newspaper.

Jason has moved his practice into the
house so he can be there for the kids.

They're great kids.

Most of the time. And the rest of the
time?

We love them anyway.

Yeah.

Unbelievable.

Show me that smile again.

Don't waste another minute on your
crying.

We're nowhere near the end.

The best is that it didn't begin.

As long as we got each other, we got the

world spinning right.

We can take anything that comes

our way.

Baby, rain or shine, all the time.

We got each other, sharing the love
tonight.

Here we go. How many for scrambled eggs?

Okay, how many for last night's liver?

Now, how many for scrambled eggs?

Uh -huh.

Dad, I'm having some trouble with my
science project.

Huh? You need some help with it? I need
to know what it is.

Well, uh, what are you studying in
science?

Fine stuff.

Okay, that's a good start.

Carol, what did you do for your third
grade science project?

Well, I constructed a compound of
monodichlorides and polydichlorides that

capable of withstand excessive heat and
mechanical stress.

Mike?

I ran tests to see how high a Super Bowl
would bounce.

Well, at least we've now defined the
boundaries of science.

Well,

you sure do.

You want some eggs?

No time.

I've got this 8 .30 interview on this
toxic waste story. Do you realize that

they are just dumping this stuff all
over Long Island? It may very well be in

our water.

Even our food.

Even in our eggs.

I'm going to be late.

Bye, everybody.

Bye.

See you at lunch.

Lunch?

Yeah, you're going to meet me back here
for lunch.

Oh, Jason, I'm sorry. I completely
forgot.

No problem.

So at 3 about noon?

Well, the problem is I don't think I'll
have time to come home.

It's your cooking, Dad. Take her out.

Good idea.

Look, why don't I just come by there and
I'll take you out for lunch?

Oh, gee, I'm not sure what time I'll be
free. Oh, Jason, I don't want you to

have to wait around. Oh, that's no
problem. It'll be fun for me. I haven't

you in action at your office.

Well, I... Mom, come on. The guy's
begging for a date.

I don't know how much more of this I can
watch.

Okay. Okay. All right, see you later.

See you later. Bye -bye. Bye. Yes!

We suspect that Easttown is giving you
and your neighbors a lot of false

information about what's been dumped in
that reservoir.

Right. Uh -huh.

Uh -huh.

See, that's just what I mean.

You see, there's no such thing as chunky
-style water.

Uh -huh. For the record? Good.

Oh, just one minute, okay?

Uh -huh. How about...

Sure, right over there.

I want to place a call, not launch an

MX missile.

Hello,

this is Dr. Seaver. Mr. Anderson in,
please.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. I must have misdialed
then.

I was...

No, I don't wish to place a classified
ad.

Oh, I'm sure that's a very good per
-word price.

But, no, I'm trying to get an outside
line here.

No, I'm not going to be placing the ad
with anyone else.

I'm trying to reach a patient.

Mildly schizophrenic.

Delusions of grandeur.

Let's go with this one. Yes, I'll be
right with you, Mrs. Kerwick. Uh -huh,

-huh. And this one.

Maggie.

I think I just leveled Moscow.

Okay, I'm all set here.

So, where do you want to eat?

Hey, Mags, want to grab some lunch?

Mags? Brad, I want you to meet my
husband, Jake the Thief.

Oh, jeez, I didn't even see you down
there.

This is Fred Mathis. Fred's the one I'm
working with on the toxic waste story.

Oh, no, no, don't get up.

Hey, it's really nice to meet you. Well,
it's nice to meet you. Mags has told me

a lot about you.

Oh, why didn't you tell me about Fred?

Well, poor Mags has stuck with me all
day. I'm sure the last thing she wants

do when she gets home is talk about me.
Oh, that's not true.

I told you about Fred just yesterday.
Don't you remember?

Oh, yes.

Well, I think I just pictured you
differently.

Balder.

What's the matter?

Well, that's the public for you. They
think we all look like Lou Grant.

Thank God Mags doesn't, huh, Jason?

Jason and I were just about to grab a
bite. Well, I won't keep you. Excuse me.

Oh, Mags, I will need to see you for a
couple of minutes before that meeting at

2 o 'clock. It's 1 .30 now.

Oh.

Well, look, Fred, why don't you just
join us for lunch? I don't want to. No,

I insist.

You two have work to do together. That's
very nice of you, Jason.

Mags, I didn't tell you. Two of these
goons tried to muscle me when I was at

that East Town dump. Must have been some
big goons.

Come on, Carol. Why can't you just write
this essay for me? Because it's your

assignment. Yeah, but you'd do a better
job. I mean, look, you're standing on

principle, and the result is that the
essay suffers.

Now, do you really want it on your
conscience?

That's the private hell I choose to live
within.

Maggie?

Thought I heard a car door slam.

No, you know, Dad, no matter how many
times I ask the neighbors to please

out through their windows, they insist
on using those doors.

Don't be a wise guy, Mike.

Carol, what time does your watch say?

Um, 10 .03.

Why? Is yours broken?

No, no, it says 10 .02.

Just thought it might have stopped.

Apparently it did, Dad, but it sounds
like you've nipped it in the bud.

Maggie. Fred.

Ah, yeah. No, I'll have her call you
right away.

Okay.

You too.

Yeah. Bye.

Fred? Yeah, Fred's the guy your mother's
working on that toxic waste story with.

Seems like a nice guy.

Very nice.

Darn nice.

guys act your age.

Hi, everybody.

Hey, Mom. Maggie, I didn't even hear
your car door slam.

Well, I'll try and do it louder next
time.

Well, guys, how's it going?

What'd you do today?

Well, I went... Nothing. They're
children.

They have boring, uneventful lives.

How was your day? Tell us about that
story.

Jason, I'm sorry our lunch got turned
into a work session.

Oh, no, are you kidding? That was great
for me.

It was shocking for me to discover how
little I knew about sludge.

What about the East Town dump?

Oh, honey, I am really bushed. I'd
rather not even think about that stuff

while. Okay?

Okay.

Sure. Hey, Dad, don't forget to tell her
Fred just called.

Fred called?

Oh, good. I need to talk to him. We're
going to break the story tomorrow if it

means working until midnight. Oh, I just
can't wait to nail those creeps.

Fred?

So how did everyone enjoy my foray into
the wonderful world of pancakes?

Well, it beat the heck out of your foray
into the wonderful world of liver.

Dad, did they have science projects when
you were in third grade?

Ben, when Dad was in the third grade,
they didn't have science.

In fact, when Dad was in the third
grade, they didn't have the third grade.

They say the sense of humor is the final
stage of child development.

You ought to feel it coming on any time
now.

Yes, Ben, I did a wonderful project in
third grade.

I grew mold on bread.

On purple?

Yes, yes. I determined that mold would
grow faster on white bread than on

pumpernickel.

I think I should strike out in new
directions.

Well, what you really have to do is...
Find something that interests you, and

that way the project will teach you the
most.

Right here.

Bye, Mom. Bye, sweetie. Have a good day.
Nice talking to you, Mom.

You look great again.

Thanks. Looking good yourself?

Oh, yeah, you know, I've been cutting
down on the beer.

Me, too.

Me, too. Have a good day.

I'm out of here, too.

Oh, remember, Fred and I will probably
be working late again tonight.

Okay. So what time do you think you'll
be home?

Well, it's hard to estimate.

Oh, I don't know. Between 9 and 11, I'd
say.

You call that an estimate?

No, an estimate is 9 .05, 9 .06.

Okay, okay, let's say between 10 and 10
.15.

Well, which one, 10 or 10 .15?

I don't know, Jason. It's only 15
minutes.

Well, it's only 15 minutes.

Maggie, a lot can happen in 15 minutes.

The Titanic sunk in 15 minutes.

Charlton Heston picked up Ten
Commandments in 15 minutes.

Our first child was conceived in 15
minutes.

Tops.

Jason.

Are you jealous?

Jealous? Uh -huh. Of what?

Of me and Fred, you know, working late.

Oh, of you and, uh... Uh -huh. That is a
comical thought.

Maggie, I'm a psychiatrist.

I'm also a man with a heightened degree
of self -awareness. And for that reason,

I can admit to a certain sense of loss
over the fact that you now share things

with a professional colleague. Uh -huh.
Until 10 or 11 at night.

Things you and I are unable to share.

Uh -huh. But I hasten to add I would
feel exactly the same way if your

were a woman.

Oh. Well, you're probably right. Well,
there's no probably about it, Maggie.

Analyzing people's motivations is what I
do for a living.

I am not sexually jealous.

I have far too much faith in you to ever
be sexually jealous.

And I would appreciate it if you had the
same faith in me.

I'm sorry, Jason. I was just kidding.

Forgive me?

Well, okay.

Okay.

Good. I'll see you later.

So what time do you think you'll be
home?

Thank you.

Hey, Dad, what's another word for
election?

Plebiscite. I didn't ask you. I asked
Dad.

What's the difference?

The difference is I don't want to know
from you.

Sorry.

How do you spell it?

Why should I tell you how to spell it?

Because I asked you.

I thought you didn't want to know things
from me.

What are you, a lawyer?

I mean, I'm trying to do you a favor
here by finding a use for your brain,

don't know why you turn on me like a
wild dog.

a good science project, so stop it.

But you told me to do something that
interests me.

Mike and Carol interest me more than
mold.

That's a touching sentiment, Ben.

Now cut it out.

What's with him?

He doesn't like you. He never has.

Hey, Dad, when's Mom coming home?

Do I look like Gene Dixon, Mike?

Your mother's a working adult, and when
she's finished working, she'll come

home. I wish she'd get here, because she
thinks of great science projects.

She does?

Last year, she picked tadpoles.

Well, that's it, then.

I can't do tadpoles again.

They keep these things on file.

No, I mean your mother.

We should be asking your mother what to
do.

In fact, I think I'll go down to that
newspaper office right now and ask her.

Dad, why don't you just call her?

Obviously, you haven't seen the phones
they have down there.

Believe me, it'd be a lot simpler this
way.

Won't that be bothering her, Dad?

Absolutely not. No, no, your mother
wants to be involved in these decisions.

Besides, I don't like the idea of her
being down at the office this late at

night all by herself.

She's not all by herself.

Fred's with her.

Even so.

Fred, who's that?

The janitor?

No one who cleans for a living will
press his nose against glass.

Maybe it's one of those goons from that
East Town dump site.

Oh, I'll call the police.

Jason! Jason!

Are you all right?

I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you.

No, no, I'm fine. Sit down.

Fortunately, my nose stopped the door
before it could hit my face.

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

It's about Ben.

Jason, what is it? Is it serious?

Well, of course it's serious. I wouldn't
come down here if I wasn't serious,

would I?

I don't know what to do with the boy,
Maggie. He's got a bad attitude about

mold. And it's just not ethical for him
to do tadpoles again.

Excuse me.

This sounds personal.

You

came

down here to check up on me, didn't you?

Oh, well, that's great.

That's just great. I come down to
discuss the welfare of our youngest son.

Our baby, if you will.

And you twist it into something sordid.

I have a good mind. I should just turn
around and walk out of here right now.

I don't believe this. I mean, you
thought, you actually thought there was

something going on between me and Fred?

I can't even dignify that with a
response.

You like him better than me, don't you?

Come on, Maggie, admit it. I'm not a
complete idiot.

Maggie, do you want some eggs? No time.

Maggie, how about we meet for lunch? Oh,
I completely forgot.

Well, Maggie, how was your day today?

I don't want to talk about it. I'm done.
Fred called?

Oh, I have time to talk to him.

Jason. Don't Jason me, Maggie. I've also
been watching the way you're dressing

lately. And now I understand it.

Because when he looks at you, he looks
at you as if you were... as if you were

woman.

Yeah, you know, at first I couldn't
figure that out. And then it dawned on

I am a woman.

So you admit it.

You're into this, Maggie. You enjoy it.
Yeah, I enjoy it. People find me

interesting. That makes me feel good.
What's wrong with that?

Well, what's wrong with it is you're
putting your husband through a living

And, Maggie, I would never do that to
you.

Ah!

What do you mean, ah?

Ah! I spent 15 years in sweatpants
cleaning toilets while you went down to

office in your sexy psychiatrist sweater
and your sexy psychiatrist jacket. My

jackets aren't sexy, Maggie. They're
tweed. Women die for tweed.

I have no control over that. And how
many nights did I spend watching your

broccoli go limp while I waited for you
to come home?

I was fighting traffic, Maggie. Yeah,
with that brilliant young psychiatrist

your carpool.

Dr. Rosenblum?

Dr. Jennifer Rosenblum, who, as I
noticed, always managed to ride in the

seat next to you.

Maggie, she had very long legs.

Well, that's a relief.

hope leg room wasn't a problem when the
two of you jetted off to Chicago for

that psychiatric convention.

We were writing a paper together.

Yes, I remember it. Human sexual
inhibitions. Use them or lose them.

Maggie, that was strictly a professional
relationship.

What do you think?

Was that a rhetorical question?

Waiting for someone else to come home
all the time is hard, Jason.

But you get better at it.

I hope so.

Well, suddenly I feel very silly.

Well, silly is a strong word.

Not entirely inappropriate, but strong.

Jason, I love you. I could never cheat
on you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

It's obvious Ben should do caterpillars.

Oh, now that's a great idea.

Thanks.

It's a good thing I came down here
tonight.

So how's Ben doing with his
caterpillars? Somebody else is already

caterpillars. Ben had to think of a new
project.

Oh, a new project?

Please.

Pretty good.
