ANNOUNCER:
This is the story of two sisters:

Jessica Tate and Mary Campbell.

Jessica lives in a neighbourhood
known as rich.

Jessica likes life.

The only thing about life
she would change, if she could,

is that she would set it
all to music.

The Tates have more secrets
than they do money.

We're approaching
Mary Campbell's house.

Mary, too, likes life.

Unfortunately, life doesn't seem
to be too crazy about her.

As you can see,
the Campbells don't have

nearly as much money
as the Tates.

They do, however,
have as many secrets.

Remember the Tates?
Jessica and her husband, Chester?

Chester's a guy who fools around
with everyone but his wife,

and poor Jessica,
because Chester's been so busy,

has taken up with Peter,
the tennis pro,

who in turn has been busy
with Jessica's daughter, Corinne.

Of course Jessica doesn't know
Peter's been busy with Corinne

and Chester's been busy
with everyone.

Jessica just wishes
she'd gone shopping instead.

Remember the Campbells?

Jessica's sister, Mary,
and her second husband, Burt?

The Campbells have problems.
Mary has two problems:

Her son, Danny, is in the Mob.

Her other son, Jodie, is gay.

Danny and Burt have a problem:
They don't get along.

Jodie and Burt have a problem:
They don't get along either.

Mary and Burt have a problem:
Burt can't make love to Mary and she doesn't know why.

Burt has the biggest problem of all:
He knows why.

He murdered her first husband.

We begin
this week's episode of Soap

shortly after
Jessica's "tennis lesson."

Mary.

Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.
I was, uh, taking a tennis lesson.

You know something?
Hm?

You're looking absolutely
wonderful these days.

Really? Oh, thank you.

Younger. You look younger.
Oh, no.

Yes, really.
What are you doing?

Nothing.

Jessie, you're blushing.

Well, I mean,
you're making such a fuss.

Jessie, you didn't.
No, I didn't.

You devil, you.
Mary.

You can tell your own sister.
When did you do it?

Mary! Shh!

I can't believe you did that
without telling me.

Mary.
Did it hurt?

Oh, Mary, come on.

I've always wanted to,
but I'm afraid Burt would kill me.

He's very old-fashioned,
you know.

If he knew I wanted a face-lift...

Mary, please don't
tell anyone, please.

I swear.
Face-lift?

Who did it?
What?

The face-lift.
What face-lift?

Jessica, did you
or did you not have a face-lift?

Not... I not... No, I didn't.

Then what did you
have me swear to?

I didn't have a face-lift.

Jessie.

So, Mary, how are the kids?

Jessie.
Mary.

Oh, Jessie, no. Oh, Jessie.
Oh, Mary.

Oh, Mary, if you ever
tell a soul, I'll kill you.

Who is he?
I can't tell you that.

I'm your sister.
I can't tell you.

I knew it was something.
You're glowing. I can't believe it.

My sister is having an a...

Mary, what am I gonna do?

I mean, I can't go
around glowing.

Chester will know.

I can't go home.

Jessie, Chester won't notice.

He hasn't looked at you
since you were 30.

Now, tell me.
What does he look like?

Oh, you know what
Chester looks like.

No. Him.

Oh, him.
Tall, dark, very athletic.

How old?

Um, I think I need a drink.

He's younger. How old is he?
Younger.

How young could he be?
Young.

Forty.

Thirty-five.

Thirty?

Oh, my God, he's 25.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Of course he's not 25.

Well, then.
He's 28.

Twenty-eight?
That's wonderful.

Twenty-eight.
No wonder you glow.

Uh, Mary...

Never mind.
Jessie, you can tell me.

No, you'd be shocked.

Jessie, I have a son who's gay.
What could possibly shock me?

Jodie's not gay.

Tell me, Jessie.

You see, I never
realised that I was

a physical person.

You see?
You're shocked.

I don't know exactly
what you mean.

You know, physical.

I don't know.
I like it, Mary.

That's the shocking thing?

Oh, Jessie, you're an original.

Mary, I have to ask
you a question.

I'm so glad you're
open-minded about this.

When you and Burt,
you know, when you...

We don't.
You don't?

No.
Since when?

Long enough for me to forget how.
Oh, dear.

Well, when you did,
did you ever feel like...?

Well, I mean,
just for a few seconds.

Did you ever have
a strange feel...?

I don't know how to describe it.

A feeling like you had melted butter
in your veins instead of blood?

Mary?
Shh. I'm remembering.

Oh, thank God. I thought there
was something wrong with me.

Mary, what have I done?
I mean, in all these years,

Chester has never so much
as looked at another woman,

and now I have done this.
I don't deserve to live.

Jessie, you've got to stop
doing this to yourself.

Has it ever occurred to you
that Chester

might have been unfaithful?

Oh, Mary, please. Chester
hardly ever does it with me.

But with a stranger? Never.

[]

Yes, my love, I know.
It just gets better and better.

As soon as I can, pigeon.
I love you.

Bye.

Here's your coffee.
Ah.

Aah! Oh! Oh!

What's the matter?
Not enough cream?

What is the matter with you?

"It just gets
better and better."

Oh, that was really smart,
Chester.

It was really smart to make
a call like that from your office

when I can sit outside and listen to it.
I mean, you are really smart.

Is that it? Is that what
you're carrying on about?

Don't bother, Chester.

Don't bother telling me
you were talking about the stock market

when you said,
"It gets better and better."

As a matter of fact, that's exactly
what I was talking about.

To "Pigeon"?
Pigeon, Chester?

Who, Walter Pidgeon?

Okay, Claire, you caught me.
I did it.

I, uh, spent the night
with another woman.

Do you know how long
I've been your secretary, Chester?

Since I was 18.

And since I was 19 you've been
telling me you'll leave your wife.

Well, now I'm 30, Chester.

Three weeks ago
I was 30 years old.

It's all right. I sent myself flowers
and signed your name.

Thirty years old and I'm still waiting
for you to leave your wife.

Once. I cheated once.

You cheated once?
That's right.

With this Pigeon person?
Right.

Tell me, do you call her
Pigeon because she coos,

or because she's a carrier of filth?

Oh, Claire.

You know, Chester,
I've known about Pigeon for weeks.

And before that I knew about
the blond in securities,

the red-headed switchboard operator,
the brunette in payroll.

I've watched you work your way up
through half this building, Chester.

I never knew if you were doing it
by floor or hair colour.

That's enough, Claire.
I've had it. I have had it.

Do you know what
you've turned into?

You have turned into a wife.

You're fired, Claire.

I'm fired?

That's right, you're fired.
Oh, no, I'm not fired, Chester.

Yes, you are. I'm the boss
and I fired you.

Wrong, Chester!
I am now the boss.

[CHUCKLES]

You see, you fire me
and I tell Jessica everything.

Fine, tell Jessica.
She'll never believe you.

And then maybe I'll call the SEC
and tell them what you did with the Whitney trust fund.

They'll believe you.

So, Chester,
now let's talk about us.

And where we'll take
our vacation

and how much of a raise
I'm going to get.

Oh, I do need a raise, Chester.
My apartment is much too small.

On the other hand,
maybe I shouldn't rent a bigger one.

Maybe we should buy me
a condominium.

Well, the tax advantages
would be substantial,

and with my expensive tastes,
you're gonna need all the help you can get.

Jodie.

Jodie, how many times do I have to
tell you to leave my things alone?

Mother.
Look at that!

My wig, my necklace,

my best dress.

Oh, you wear that belted.
Oh, yeah.

I never thought
of wearing it belted.

It looks much better that way.

Sure, it breaks up
the straight line here,

then you just blouse it slightly
at the waist.

That's much more slimming.
Definitely.

Jodie, get out of my clothes.

Mother, sit down.
Jodie, come on.

Mother, how would you
like a daughter?

What are you talking about?
Sit down, Mom.

Jodie, just tell me.

I'm thinking of having
a sex-change operation.

[LAUGHING]

A sex-change operation.
A sex-change operation.

Right.
I better sit down.

By a sex-change operation,
do you mean

a sex-change operation?

Mm-hm. I spoke to Dr. Fletcher
today, and he...

I'm not thinking about what
I'm gonna tell people, Jodie.

I couldn't care less.
The thing is,

I just got used to you
being a ho...

Homosexual.

I mean, I always
thought you'd outgrow it, that it was just a phase.

And now, when I'm finally
used to you being a...

Homosexual.

You're going to get
a sex-change operation and be a girl?

Jodie, for God's sakes,
what am I gonna tell people? Oh, my God.

I think I'm having
a cerebral haemorrhage. I can feel it right here.

Mother.

I mean, you're casually
going out and doing this thing like it was nothing.

It's not like getting
a haircut, Jodie.

A major artery just went.

Fine, in 10 minutes
I'll be dead. I won't have to worry.

Mother, Mom,
listen to me. Mother...

Mom, I should be a woman.

I've always felt like a woman.

Mom, remember when I was
4 years old and it was Christmas?

And you gave Danny
and me those little plastic shaving kits? Remember?

Remember how Danny
took that little plastic razor and started to shave his face?

[LAUGHING]

I shaved my legs, Ma.

[CRYING]

Mom, it was apparent then!

Mary, Mary, where are you?
Wait till you hear the news.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realise
you had company. I just...

Good God!

What the hell does he
think he's doing?

He' s not going out
dressed like that, is he?

No. No, it's too chilly.
I'll take a wrap.

[IN DEEP VOICE] Bye, Burt.

He's sick.

So am I. He looks better
in that dress than I do.

Mary, Mary, have I got news.
Guess what happened an hour ago. Come on, just guess.

Burt, please. I think I just had
a minor cerebral haemorrhage.

I can't guess.

Well, I was in the sporting-goods
store buying some tackle for my fishing trip,

when suddenly I heard
a salesman say, "Mr. Campbell, I have the balls you ordered."

Well, being Mr. Campbell,
and not having ordered any balls, naturally I looked up.

Who's standing there, Mary?
Who?

A transsexual.

No, Mary, my son!

Mary, my oldest son, right there!

Well, I went right up
and introduced myself.

I mean, it's been 15 years.
He didn't recognise me.

Mary, wait till you see him.
He's terrific.

Oh, he's tall
and he's great-looking.

Wonderful.
He can date Jodie.

He's gonna meet us at Jessica's.
Wait till they see him.

I don't have enough
class for them?

My son's got enough class
for both of us. Plus.

My son. My son.
Mary, do you know

how strange it feels
saying "my son"?

Oh, yeah?

Wait till you try
saying "my daughter."

[]

Godfather?

Oh, Danny. Over here, Danny.
Come in, come in.

Danny, I hear you wanna
resign from the family.

Yeah. Boy, is it real hot
in here, or is it me?

It's good for you, Danny.
This opens up your pores.

Well, you know, Danny,
if you leave,

you're gonna disappoint me, huh?

But worse than disappointing me,

you're gonna disappoint
somebody else,

somebody I don't think
you wanna disappoint.

Who?
Your dead father.

I don't know why
I come in here. I hate the heat.

You knew my father?
Oh, very well.

Danny, your father
was one of our best soldiers.

My father?

Well, how do you think
you got this job, Danny, when you got out of the Army?

We apply to
the Veterans Administration?

Or we need people and we call up
the New York Times and say,

"Hello, send over another hood"?
Danny, use your head, huh?

I can't believe it.
So, you see, Danny...

Now, the only way
to let you go is if you have

just as much to lose
as we got to lose.

I don't know what you mean.

Well, we make a deal, Danny.

Uh, you do us a favour,
and we do you a favour.

Hey, sure, name it.
What favour?

A contract.

You... You mean
kill a man?

Oh, Danny, a contract.

You wanna call it kill,
you call it kill.

Personally,
I don't like the word.

Well... Well, who would it be?

It would be the man
who killed your father.

Oh, this is some heat over here.

The man who killed my father?
No, that's impossible.

My father committed suicide.
Suicide? No, he didn't.

Yes, godfather,
that's what they said. The autopsy showed the...

The autopsy showed?
Oh, Danny, no.

Your father was killed.

You know, I've been coming
over here for 23 years to open up my pores.

What I wanna know is
what is so terrific about opening your pores?

Who killed him?

I mean, do people walk
down the street and say,

"Look at him, how nice.
Look at those nice, open pores"?

No. "Nice hat."
"Nice haircut."

They say nothing about the pores.
Who killed my father?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
It's all right. It's all right.

Danny, now, we gonna tell you

who killed your father
when you agree to do the job

and not before, huh?

Now, Danny, come on,
you kiss the ring,

because Sheldon and I
got some business, okay?

Ow!

Boy. This is a lot
for one day.

All right, all right.
Goodbye, Danny.

[SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]

He thinks this is
a lot for one day?

[SPEAKS IN ITALIAN]

Wait until he finds out
the man he has to kill

is his own stepfather.

But he's a nice boy.

[]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Hi, Mrs. Campbell.

Hi, Benson.
Nice to see you.

Hi.

Guess what, Benson.

My long-lost son that
I haven't seen in 15 years

is coming here tonight
for dinner.

Wonderful. I'm the one
who makes the meals,

I'm the one who sets the table,
and I'm always the last one to know.

Hello, Daddy.

Benson, this is all wrong.

The avocado and the shrimp
should not be separated.

The shrimp should go
in the avocado.

Here, Tinkerbell, stuff it.

I'm so nervous,
my hands are shaking. I need a drink.

Benson, I'll have
a vodka with a twist.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Benson? Could you
tell the Tates we're here?

Very well.

They're here!

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
Oh, Dad, listen, I need 10 bucks.

What for?
I got a date.

What do you mean you have a date?
You're 12 years old.

I'm 14.

Yes, he'll be 15 in October.

Thanks, Dad.
Good night, Mom.

Not too late.
Don't wait up.

Are you sure he's 14?
Mm-hm.

He was born October 28th, 1962.

I always remember
that it was October of '62,

because that was when
the washing machine broke

and I had to go
to the Laundromat that week.

And I went into labour
between wash and spin dry.

Uh, what are you
looking at, Chester?

You. You look terrific.

Oh! Heh-heh.

Is that the glow you noticed?

Well, uh, you see,
it's this new makeup that I'm wearing that I'm allergic to.

You see, it sort of
gives off this glowing effect,

which, of course,
it's not supposed to do.

It's just that it's the allergy.

Uh, I... Chester, could we
go downstairs now?

Because, you see,
the Campbells are here

and the food's gonna get
overcooked and Benson's gonna have a fit.

But if you're not, uh...

If you're not ready,
I'll just go down first,

and you come when you're ready,

which is probably
a better idea anyway.

[]

My son, my son.

After 15 years,
I'm gonna be with my son.

I mean, I'm so nervous,
I need another drink.

Drink up, captain.
We move out at dawn.

Gramps, World War II is over.

This war will be over
with the invasion of No...

Ask to borrow my scarf, Corinne.
I did not take your scarf.

I always lend you
my things, don't I?

Last week I lent you
my black pantsuit, didn't I?

Of course, it came back
with an entire leg missing, but did I complain?

You want your scarf?
Take a look over there.

You thieving little fruit!

Hey, wait a minute.

My brother is not a fruit.

He's a practical joker
with a wonderful sense of humour.

Danny, put her down.
She's a girl.

Children, children,
now, let's not squabble.

Stop it.
We're a family.

Yes, that's right,
and a lovely family too.

Now, come on,
everybody sit down, huh?

Come on. Daddy,
I want us all to have a nice time, hm?

We're all going to
have some lovely conversations.

My son is coming after 15 years.
I'm gonna be with my so...

We know, Burt, we know.
It's boring already.

Aunt Jessica,
you look terrific tonight.

No, no, I... I don't.
I... I don't look terrific at all.

It's an allergy. I'm sick.
Yes, that's what it is. I'm sick, sick.

I'm considering getting
a sex-change operation.

[LAUGHING]

Would you listen to him?
What a sense of humour.

He doesn't need an operation.
He could pass now.

You take that back!

Take your hands off my daughter!
Get your hands off him!

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Oh, my son.
My son! My son!

This is my job, turkey.

Dad!
BURT: Peter!

Peter?
Peter?

Corinne?
Corinne?

Jessica?
Mother?

Corinne? Jessica?
Oh, my God.

Jessica?

Peter.

Mother?

Peter.
