1
00:00:06,573 --> 00:00:08,808
Well into 1939, the
depression continues
2
00:00:08,875 --> 00:00:10,477
to take its toll.
3
00:00:10,543 --> 00:00:12,712
Bread lines and soup
kitchens dot the landscape
4
00:00:12,779 --> 00:00:14,647
across north America.
5
00:00:14,714 --> 00:00:17,550
But here in Quintland, all
is well at the home of the
6
00:00:17,617 --> 00:00:19,486
Dionne quintuplets.
7
00:00:19,552 --> 00:00:22,389
The quints, those five
adorable little curly haired
8
00:00:22,455 --> 00:00:24,991
angels we have come
to know and love,
9
00:00:25,058 --> 00:00:27,694
are symbols of hope
in these Dark times.
10
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:30,029
And a source of prosperity.
11
00:00:30,096 --> 00:00:33,366
For the lucky townsfolk of
Calendar, Ontario.
12
00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:36,503
The world continues to
beat a path to their door.
13
00:00:36,569 --> 00:00:40,573
And when they get get there, the
locals put on quite a show!
14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,710
Souvenirs, autographs,
all this and more.
15
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:46,246
Precious mementos of the
days spent visiting the
16
00:00:46,312 --> 00:00:48,515
famous Dionne sisters.
17
00:00:48,581 --> 00:00:52,452
Here in northern Ontario,
there's fun for everyone.
18
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:54,821
Yes the crowd
just keep on coming.
19
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:58,558
More than 3,000 people a day
pour into this little town.
20
00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:01,961
And they come
from everywhere.
21
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:07,901
Here's a family that's come
all the way from California.
22
00:01:10,069 --> 00:01:14,207
The quints are even more
popular than Niagara falls.
23
00:01:14,274 --> 00:01:17,677
Cars line up for miles each
day along these rural roads.
24
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:20,380
Yes! Everyone in this
community benefits from the
25
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:25,552
quintuplets, Especially
the local filling station.
26
00:01:26,553 --> 00:01:28,755
And to celebrate the
first day of summer,
27
00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:32,292
the world's most loved Girls
held a strawberry social for
28
00:01:32,358 --> 00:01:34,694
none other than Helena Reid.
29
00:01:34,761 --> 00:01:37,797
America's most listened
to radio personality.
30
00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:40,500
Doctor Dafoe certainly
draws visitors as well.
31
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,469
Here he is with Hollywood
motion picture star
32
00:01:42,535 --> 00:01:45,605
Marlene Dietrich.
33
00:01:47,507 --> 00:01:50,610
This week doctor Dafoe had
a different kind of visitor
34
00:01:50,677 --> 00:01:54,948
Doctor joseph Burroughs,
a pioneer in the emerging
35
00:01:55,014 --> 00:01:58,918
field of Child psychology,
who'll study the quints.
36
00:01:59,419 --> 00:02:01,888
That's very good, dear.
Very good.
37
00:02:01,955 --> 00:02:03,990
There they are.
38
00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:07,827
I don't usually like to
interrupt the girls while
39
00:02:07,894 --> 00:02:10,964
they're being taught.
40
00:02:11,030 --> 00:02:14,267
[laughing]
41
00:02:16,069 --> 00:02:17,237
Ho!
42
00:02:17,303 --> 00:02:18,872
Hey!
43
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:19,906
Girls?
44
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:21,574
Ho...
45
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:24,544
Papa Dafoe, papa Dafoe!
46
00:02:24,844 --> 00:02:27,247
Papa Dafoe Papa Dafoe
I made you a picture!
47
00:02:27,313 --> 00:02:30,016
Oh beautiful,
beautiful, girls!
48
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:32,719
Look at these,
oh my goodness!
49
00:02:32,785 --> 00:02:35,989
These are going up
on the wall, girls.
50
00:02:36,055 --> 00:02:37,457
Marie tore hers up.
51
00:02:37,524 --> 00:02:38,958
Oh....
52
00:02:39,559 --> 00:02:43,329
Let see what my
little Marie has done.
53
00:02:43,396 --> 00:02:44,931
Ha!
54
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:46,900
Oh, no, no, no, don't crumple
your beautiful painting.
55
00:02:46,966 --> 00:02:49,068
No, no, let
doctor Dafoe see it.
56
00:02:49,135 --> 00:02:50,136
Ho!
57
00:02:50,203 --> 00:02:51,571
Ho, Marie!
58
00:02:51,638 --> 00:02:53,072
This is excellent!
59
00:02:53,139 --> 00:02:54,674
You should be very proud!
60
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:56,576
Thank you Papa Dafoe.
61
00:02:56,643 --> 00:02:59,913
Yes I think yours shows
the most imagination.
62
00:02:59,979 --> 00:03:01,581
Now is this me?
63
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:03,349
[laughing]
64
00:03:03,416 --> 00:03:04,784
But I'm hardly
this handsome.
65
00:03:04,851 --> 00:03:06,653
[laughing]
66
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:09,789
Is papa Dafoe
that handsome?
67
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:11,291
Extraordinary.
68
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:13,826
How ever do you
tell them apart, doctor?
69
00:03:13,893 --> 00:03:15,028
Oh! Easy.
70
00:03:15,094 --> 00:03:16,729
The girls are
identical but there,
71
00:03:16,796 --> 00:03:18,865
there are differences.
72
00:03:18,932 --> 00:03:24,237
Yvonne. Is the biggest.
Marie. Is the smallest.
73
00:03:24,304 --> 00:03:26,739
And Annette looks the
most like Yvonne.
74
00:03:26,806 --> 00:03:29,676
And that leaves
Cécile and Émilie.
75
00:03:29,742 --> 00:03:31,411
And if you can
tell them apart,
76
00:03:31,477 --> 00:03:32,845
the last one is easy.
77
00:03:32,912 --> 00:03:34,380
Right girls.
78
00:03:39,819 --> 00:03:44,924
Successful child-rearing depends
on discipline and routine.
79
00:03:44,991 --> 00:03:50,597
Children must be occupied in
healthy stimulating activities.
80
00:03:50,663 --> 00:03:52,098
Now this.
81
00:03:52,165 --> 00:03:55,034
Is at the heart
of my method.
82
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:58,938
Now this is the schedule
for the quintuplets.
83
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:02,842
Each day has been divided into
twenty-one units of time.
84
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:05,478
Wake up: six twenty-five am.
85
00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:09,582
Six thirty, emptying of the
bladder and other ablutions.
86
00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:12,619
Seven forty:
prayer, seven forty-five,
87
00:04:12,685 --> 00:04:14,821
breakfast and so on.
88
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:17,190
There must be no
deviations whatsoever
89
00:04:17,256 --> 00:04:19,492
from this schedule.
90
00:04:19,559 --> 00:04:22,929
I'm sure the girls will
adapt beautifully doctor.
91
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:26,733
We have our own
routine here doctor.
92
00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:29,102
Twice a day.
93
00:04:29,168 --> 00:04:31,337
The girls play in a
little park Inside
94
00:04:31,404 --> 00:04:34,240
the observation gallery.
95
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:36,275
They don't even know
that anyone is there.
96
00:04:36,342 --> 00:04:37,644
It's no different than if
the children were playing in
97
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:40,647
the school yard under the
watchful eye of a teacher.
98
00:04:40,713 --> 00:04:43,082
True.
True.
99
00:04:43,149 --> 00:04:45,251
We call it.
Free play.
100
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:47,353
Doctor, what about
visits from their parents?
101
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:48,688
I don't see anything
on the schedule...
102
00:04:48,755 --> 00:04:52,625
I wouldn't worry about
the Dionne's, nurse.
103
00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:54,594
They hardly ever visit.
104
00:05:13,212 --> 00:05:16,082
Maman, why can't I
have curly hair?
105
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:18,584
I want curls like the
quints too, maman.
106
00:05:18,651 --> 00:05:19,919
Don't call them that.
107
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,754
They have names.
108
00:05:22,088 --> 00:05:25,058
Les filles.
Time for bed.
109
00:05:25,625 --> 00:05:27,226
Of course he doesn't
have to go to bed.
110
00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:28,895
Sure.
111
00:05:30,196 --> 00:05:31,631
Good night.
112
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,070
Doctor Dafoe is the
quint's favorite human,
113
00:05:37,136 --> 00:05:40,673
much more than liked than
papa or mama Dionne
114
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:44,444
who are still dis... disgrunted
115
00:05:44,510 --> 00:05:46,646
that their children
have been taken away,
116
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:48,881
and who complained that they
could get rich If they
117
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,718
could exploit their
quints properly.
118
00:05:52,418 --> 00:05:54,320
Papa?
119
00:05:54,387 --> 00:05:57,557
The kids at school, they say
the government took away the
120
00:05:57,623 --> 00:06:01,661
quints because you and mama,
you aren't good parents.
121
00:06:01,728 --> 00:06:03,196
You think that's true?
122
00:06:03,262 --> 00:06:04,497
You think we
are bad parents?
123
00:06:04,564 --> 00:06:05,498
No mama.
124
00:06:05,565 --> 00:06:06,499
If you think that
the government's
125
00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:09,102
gonna take you away too.
126
00:06:16,008 --> 00:06:18,010
No one's gonna take
you away, Earnest.
127
00:06:18,077 --> 00:06:19,879
Your hair's not
curly enough.
128
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:22,715
Hey!
129
00:06:22,782 --> 00:06:24,217
She didn't mean it.
130
00:06:24,283 --> 00:06:26,385
She's tired.
131
00:06:31,991 --> 00:06:34,827
[gasps]
132
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:39,932
Marie, it's Elzire.
133
00:06:39,999 --> 00:06:41,868
The baby.
134
00:06:43,035 --> 00:06:44,971
Dafoe's gone.
135
00:06:45,037 --> 00:06:46,639
Please Marie.
136
00:06:46,706 --> 00:06:48,808
She won't see
anyone but you.
137
00:06:55,648 --> 00:06:58,484
Push madame Dionne.
Push!
138
00:06:58,551 --> 00:07:00,887
Ahhh!
139
00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:04,357
Ahhh!
140
00:07:04,423 --> 00:07:05,358
That's it.
141
00:07:05,424 --> 00:07:07,460
It's a boy.
142
00:07:07,693 --> 00:07:09,495
A boy, Elzire.
A beautiful boy.
143
00:07:10,696 --> 00:07:12,198
Ahh one?
144
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:15,802
Just one madame.
145
00:07:23,075 --> 00:07:26,412
Monsieur Dionne.
146
00:07:30,683 --> 00:07:33,286
He's big!
147
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:36,956
It's so good to
hold a baby again.
148
00:07:37,023 --> 00:07:39,826
Do we get to
keep him, maman?
149
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:43,729
This one they're not
gonna take from me.
150
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:11,490
Emptying the
bladder, seven fifteen pm.
151
00:08:24,971 --> 00:08:28,341
Don't just sit
there Cécile, hmm?
152
00:08:30,142 --> 00:08:32,311
Thirty seconds
to go Annette.
153
00:08:32,378 --> 00:08:34,981
And I mean go.
154
00:08:35,047 --> 00:08:38,551
We don't feel like it!
155
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:42,855
What's going on here?
156
00:08:42,922 --> 00:08:44,690
Girls!
157
00:08:46,392 --> 00:08:47,894
Nurse!
158
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:55,568
Nurse MacPhail, this is not
what we mean by free play.
159
00:08:55,635 --> 00:08:57,603
I understand but...
160
00:08:58,437 --> 00:09:00,373
Yvonne, you can't play now.
161
00:09:00,439 --> 00:09:02,275
I'm not Yvonne, I'm Annette.
162
00:09:02,608 --> 00:09:03,576
Oh!
You're trying to fool me.
163
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:05,811
You're trying.
164
00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:08,481
It's two minutes
past their bed time.
165
00:09:11,217 --> 00:09:14,754
I'm sorry they've always been
a bit hard to control.
166
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:17,924
They're completely
off the schedule.
167
00:09:19,292 --> 00:09:22,495
And he's
completely of his rocker.
168
00:09:23,162 --> 00:09:27,833
[shrieking]
169
00:09:29,635 --> 00:09:30,636
What is this?
170
00:09:30,703 --> 00:09:33,539
Are my girls misbehaving?
171
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:38,244
Show some manners now, say
goodnight to doctor Burroughs.
172
00:09:40,046 --> 00:09:43,082
Good night doctor Burroughs!
173
00:09:43,149 --> 00:09:45,518
And good night
to Papa Dafoe.
174
00:09:45,584 --> 00:09:48,120
'Night...
175
00:09:49,288 --> 00:09:50,890
Can we have a story?
176
00:09:50,957 --> 00:09:52,224
Oh! It's too late, Marie.
177
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:53,459
Please Papa Dafoe.
178
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:54,660
No no.
Off to bed now.
179
00:09:54,727 --> 00:09:55,828
Off to bed.
180
00:09:55,895 --> 00:09:58,064
It's your music time.
181
00:10:03,369 --> 00:10:04,303
Scamps.
182
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:07,974
I'm afraid I've indulged
them a bit too much.
183
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:11,277
Good night girls.
184
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:14,213
Good night papa Dafoe!
185
00:10:17,383 --> 00:10:19,018
[baby crying]
186
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:20,486
Ça va?
187
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:22,888
Feeling better?
188
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:27,793
If you're feeling stronger,
you could go and visit the
189
00:10:27,860 --> 00:10:30,629
girls tomorrow.
190
00:10:30,696 --> 00:10:33,232
That's too late.
191
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:34,400
For what?
192
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:37,636
The girls don't know me.
193
00:10:38,237 --> 00:10:42,308
They don't know me
and they don't care.
194
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:45,277
When I go.
195
00:10:45,344 --> 00:10:50,416
If they let me in the girls
act like I'm just a visitor.
196
00:10:53,052 --> 00:10:56,689
And that's all I am.
197
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:58,657
A visitor.
198
00:10:58,724 --> 00:11:01,060
But you're not going to change
things by staying away.
199
00:11:01,127 --> 00:11:06,599
No. But I'm gonna survive.
200
00:11:09,902 --> 00:11:14,840
I'm gonna be a mother to
the children I have.
201
00:11:39,198 --> 00:11:40,866
Libby, McNeil, Libby.
202
00:11:40,933 --> 00:11:42,935
For quintuplets'
endorsement of baby foods,
203
00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:44,670
tomato juice and
pineapple juice,
204
00:11:44,737 --> 00:11:47,573
eight thousand five hundred.
-Fine.
205
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,575
Harry S. Bond, manufacturer
of children's boots and
206
00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:52,511
rubbers, a royalty of two
to eight cents per footwear
207
00:11:52,578 --> 00:11:54,847
with a minimum guarantee
of forty seven thousand
208
00:11:54,914 --> 00:11:55,848
five hundred.
209
00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:57,450
Fine.
210
00:11:57,516 --> 00:12:00,219
And our crowning
triumph, gentlemen,
211
00:12:00,286 --> 00:12:02,488
Quintuplets dolls are now
outselling Shirley Temple
212
00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:05,224
dolls two to one.
213
00:12:05,291 --> 00:12:07,393
Now there's an
idea for a movie.
214
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:09,962
Shirley Temple
versus the Dionne Quints.
215
00:12:10,029 --> 00:12:11,097
Best of three falls.
216
00:12:11,163 --> 00:12:12,531
Best of five falls!
217
00:12:12,598 --> 00:12:14,233
[laughing]
218
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:16,702
Get your hands off me!
I have right to be in there!
219
00:12:17,503 --> 00:12:19,438
Never mind George.
220
00:12:19,505 --> 00:12:21,707
How can we help
you mister Dionne?
221
00:12:21,774 --> 00:12:24,210
This is a
guardianship meeting?
222
00:12:24,276 --> 00:12:26,679
Well I'm one of the guardians
and I'm going to attend.
223
00:12:26,745 --> 00:12:28,848
You have a
problem with that?
224
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:30,082
Of course you're
welcome mister Dionne.
225
00:12:30,149 --> 00:12:31,817
We are only surprised
since you've never shown an
226
00:12:31,884 --> 00:12:34,420
interest in
attending before.
227
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:36,122
Take a seat.
228
00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:43,529
What is it you
want mister Dionne?
229
00:12:46,065 --> 00:12:48,934
What do you think?
230
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:54,540
I want my kids.
231
00:12:55,141 --> 00:12:57,710
I want a
meeting with Hepburn.
232
00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:59,845
I want the law that
took them away from us,
233
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:00,946
I want it abolished.
234
00:13:01,013 --> 00:13:02,581
Mister Dionne at this time
we are discussing the end of
235
00:13:02,648 --> 00:13:03,782
the fiscal year.
236
00:13:03,849 --> 00:13:05,417
There's no excuse
keeping them locked up.
237
00:13:05,484 --> 00:13:07,887
Mister Dionne, this is
not the appropriate
238
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:09,255
time to discuss...
239
00:13:09,321 --> 00:13:11,991
Appropriate?!
240
00:13:16,562 --> 00:13:19,932
Do you know what
you've done to us?
241
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:22,635
To my wife?
242
00:13:22,701 --> 00:13:24,970
What we lost?
243
00:13:25,037 --> 00:13:27,072
You have only
yourself to blame.
244
00:13:27,139 --> 00:13:30,142
Why are they
kept in a hospital?
245
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:32,578
Hey?!
They're not sick!!
246
00:13:32,645 --> 00:13:34,513
Why can't they
live normal kids?!
247
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:35,514
Leslie?
248
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:37,750
Must we listen to this?
249
00:13:38,017 --> 00:13:39,718
Give us back our kids.
250
00:13:39,785 --> 00:13:42,354
It is simply
out of question.
251
00:13:42,588 --> 00:13:43,689
Now if you have
nothing constructive to add,
252
00:13:43,756 --> 00:13:46,592
may we please continue?
253
00:13:47,326 --> 00:13:50,496
McMurtry and
McCutcheon, candy bars.
254
00:13:50,563 --> 00:13:52,765
That will be fine.
255
00:13:56,302 --> 00:13:57,903
[blows whistle]
256
00:13:57,970 --> 00:14:01,540
Quiet play time now
girls, fifteen minutes.
257
00:14:11,383 --> 00:14:12,318
I want that one!
258
00:14:12,384 --> 00:14:13,319
No!
259
00:14:13,385 --> 00:14:15,621
Let go!
260
00:14:17,256 --> 00:14:19,291
She pushed me!
261
00:14:20,226 --> 00:14:21,994
I didn't.
She fell!
262
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:24,730
I didn't fall!
She pushed me!
263
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:28,901
Those who don't follow the
schedule will not be allowed
264
00:14:28,968 --> 00:14:32,137
to stay with the others.
265
00:14:38,978 --> 00:14:41,647
I don't wanna be there!
266
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,783
Let me go!
267
00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:46,085
Cécile!
268
00:14:46,151 --> 00:14:47,086
Let me go!
269
00:14:47,152 --> 00:14:48,220
You know the rules.
270
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:50,422
Now if you can't play
quietly with the others,
271
00:14:50,489 --> 00:14:52,725
you're just gonna have to
play by yourself in the
272
00:14:52,791 --> 00:14:54,660
isolation room.
273
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:58,530
[screaming]
274
00:15:03,168 --> 00:15:04,270
She's afraid!
275
00:15:04,336 --> 00:15:06,272
Don't you dare!
276
00:15:06,338 --> 00:15:07,873
She's afraid to be alone.
277
00:15:07,940 --> 00:15:10,342
Without the others.
278
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:13,712
It's only a temper tantrum.
279
00:15:37,202 --> 00:15:39,271
Cécile!!
280
00:15:39,538 --> 00:15:43,475
Cécile!!
281
00:15:44,276 --> 00:15:45,878
Cécile!!
282
00:15:45,944 --> 00:15:48,447
Cécile!!
283
00:15:48,781 --> 00:15:50,516
Cécile!!
284
00:15:51,183 --> 00:15:53,752
Cécile!!
285
00:15:56,188 --> 00:15:58,590
Cécile!!
286
00:15:58,657 --> 00:16:03,562
[screaming]
287
00:16:17,109 --> 00:16:20,579
Doctor, I don't like to
criticize my colleagues,
288
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:22,314
Especially the head nurse...
289
00:16:22,381 --> 00:16:24,283
Yes...
290
00:16:25,184 --> 00:16:28,821
Nurse MacPhail,
she has no feelings.
291
00:16:28,887 --> 00:16:30,656
She isn't fit to
be with children.
292
00:16:30,723 --> 00:16:32,524
I gather you disapprove
of doctor Burroughs'
293
00:16:32,591 --> 00:16:34,960
methods as well?
294
00:16:35,027 --> 00:16:36,228
I'm not an expert but,
295
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:39,198
the way the girls are
being raised, it's so.
296
00:16:39,531 --> 00:16:41,467
Wrong.
297
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:43,769
Really?
298
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:46,405
And how do you think
they should be raised?
299
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:50,476
I wish they could live
like normal children.
300
00:16:50,542 --> 00:16:54,179
With brothers and
sisters and friends.
301
00:16:54,246 --> 00:16:57,182
It's not healthy for
them always being together.
302
00:16:57,249 --> 00:16:59,885
Sometimes it's like
they're one child.
303
00:16:59,952 --> 00:17:02,888
One child in five bodies.
304
00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:06,325
How will they learn to
live in the real world?
305
00:17:06,392 --> 00:17:08,227
Learn to be individuals?
306
00:17:08,293 --> 00:17:09,795
You think they
should be sent home?
307
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:10,963
To that hovel?
308
00:17:11,029 --> 00:17:13,298
Deprived of any
cultural experience?
309
00:17:13,365 --> 00:17:15,167
I was raised in a
poor family doctor.
310
00:17:15,234 --> 00:17:16,502
We never had
enough of anything,
311
00:17:16,568 --> 00:17:18,771
But all my
memories are happy.
312
00:17:18,837 --> 00:17:22,541
How fortunate for you...
313
00:17:26,578 --> 00:17:29,048
Nurse, I...
314
00:17:29,114 --> 00:17:33,552
I believe it would be
best for you to resign.
315
00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:35,954
What?
316
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:37,990
No but.
317
00:17:38,056 --> 00:17:39,591
Why?
318
00:17:39,658 --> 00:17:42,261
Nurse MacPhail has had
reason to complain to me too
319
00:17:42,327 --> 00:17:43,629
often about your
insubordination.
320
00:17:43,695 --> 00:17:45,564
No please doctor, please.
321
00:17:45,631 --> 00:17:48,033
You'll leave today.
322
00:17:53,405 --> 00:17:55,674
After.
323
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:58,210
After I say
goodbye to the girls.
324
00:17:58,277 --> 00:18:02,047
Such goodbyes are not in the
best interest of the girls.
325
00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:03,615
I've been with them since -
326
00:18:03,682 --> 00:18:05,684
Since they were born...
327
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:08,687
It's not a good idea for the
girls to become attached to
328
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:10,889
any one person on staff.
329
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:13,559
To anyone but you!
330
00:18:14,526 --> 00:18:17,763
If you've finished, nurse.
331
00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:21,166
You're a very cruel man.
332
00:18:32,978 --> 00:18:35,314
Marie?
333
00:18:37,182 --> 00:18:39,852
I've been let go.
334
00:18:41,353 --> 00:18:45,190
He wouldn't even let me see
the girls to say goodbye.
335
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:46,592
Come in.
336
00:18:46,658 --> 00:18:49,027
No I can't madame, I
can't miss the bus.
337
00:18:49,094 --> 00:18:51,363
I just.
338
00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:53,332
I had to tell you.
339
00:18:53,398 --> 00:18:55,501
The girls...
340
00:18:56,134 --> 00:18:57,736
What is it?
341
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:02,274
Doctor Dafoe, he doesn't believe
me about nurse MacPhail.
342
00:19:03,642 --> 00:19:06,879
The girls need you madame.
343
00:19:06,945 --> 00:19:09,381
They need you
to protect them.
344
00:19:09,448 --> 00:19:11,250
Don't say that Marie.
345
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,585
There's nothing I can do.
346
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:19,291
[horn honks]
347
00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:20,959
Don't give up madame.
348
00:19:21,026 --> 00:19:23,929
Don't give up hope.
349
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:47,653
Lights out in two minutes.
350
00:19:47,719 --> 00:19:48,987
Nurse Evie?
351
00:19:49,054 --> 00:19:51,890
Where's Marie?
352
00:19:51,957 --> 00:19:55,394
Where did she go?
353
00:19:55,627 --> 00:19:57,596
Yeah!
Where?
354
00:19:57,663 --> 00:20:00,933
Nurse Lemoyne has gone home.
355
00:20:00,999 --> 00:20:01,934
Gone?
356
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,201
She's gone?
357
00:20:03,268 --> 00:20:04,202
Yes.
358
00:20:04,269 --> 00:20:07,139
She's gone.
359
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:19,451
Girls, come to bed.
360
00:20:19,518 --> 00:20:22,788
Come on now, come to bed.
361
00:20:23,188 --> 00:20:28,260
[crying for Marie]
362
00:20:28,327 --> 00:20:30,262
She's gone and no
amount of crying
363
00:20:30,329 --> 00:20:32,831
is going to bring her back.
364
00:21:08,233 --> 00:21:10,435
Mrs. Dionne!
365
00:21:20,512 --> 00:21:22,280
What have they done to you?
366
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:23,749
What have they done?
367
00:21:23,815 --> 00:21:25,817
What right do you have
you to come in here?
368
00:21:25,884 --> 00:21:27,853
What right?
369
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:29,287
I am the mother.
370
00:21:29,354 --> 00:21:31,790
The mother!
371
00:21:31,857 --> 00:21:33,425
There...
372
00:21:33,892 --> 00:21:35,227
Well you may....
373
00:21:35,293 --> 00:21:38,030
Why did you do this to them?
374
00:21:38,096 --> 00:21:40,699
They have been
touching themselves
375
00:21:40,766 --> 00:21:43,669
in an appropriate manner.
376
00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:46,338
Are you crazy?
377
00:21:46,405 --> 00:21:49,174
Are you crazy?!
378
00:21:50,208 --> 00:21:52,177
Émilie?
379
00:21:52,244 --> 00:21:54,746
Where's Émilie?
380
00:21:55,947 --> 00:21:59,017
What have you done to her?
381
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:01,853
Huh?
382
00:22:08,393 --> 00:22:09,961
Oh Émilie.
383
00:22:10,028 --> 00:22:12,197
Come.
Come...
384
00:22:12,264 --> 00:22:13,832
This is the isolation room.
385
00:22:13,899 --> 00:22:16,702
It is a perfectly
correct form of discipline.
386
00:22:16,768 --> 00:22:18,036
Don't you ever.
387
00:22:18,103 --> 00:22:20,072
Ever touch my kids
or hurt them again.
388
00:22:20,138 --> 00:22:22,107
Cause if you do, I'll
do the same to you.
389
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:23,909
Now get out!
390
00:22:23,975 --> 00:22:25,444
Get out of here!
391
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:27,312
Get out!
392
00:22:27,379 --> 00:22:28,647
I'm going...
393
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:32,084
To call the guard.
394
00:22:39,424 --> 00:22:41,059
Maman?
395
00:22:41,126 --> 00:22:43,261
Yes, maman is here.
396
00:22:43,328 --> 00:22:46,131
Maman will always
be here.
397
00:22:55,073 --> 00:22:59,010
It's been a while
since you saw me hey?
398
00:22:59,644 --> 00:23:01,279
Since you saw me.
399
00:23:01,346 --> 00:23:03,348
I had a baby.
400
00:23:03,415 --> 00:23:06,585
A little boy.
401
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,069
I didn't know
where you were.
402
00:23:24,136 --> 00:23:26,304
Oliva, we've got
to get them out!
403
00:23:26,371 --> 00:23:31,176
We've got to get
them out of there!
404
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:34,079
We've gotta get
them out of there!
405
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:41,953
It's all in there.
406
00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:46,958
A record of what they
say about us in the press.
407
00:23:47,025 --> 00:23:51,496
Photographs they use to
make us look like fools.
408
00:23:57,569 --> 00:24:01,573
Monsieur Dionne, may I
ask you why it took you
409
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,809
this long to consult
a lawyer?
410
00:24:03,875 --> 00:24:06,011
You're not the first.
411
00:24:06,077 --> 00:24:08,880
I've spoken to
three over the years.
412
00:24:08,947 --> 00:24:10,115
It cost me a lot of
money to find out
413
00:24:10,182 --> 00:24:11,783
that no one wanted my case.
414
00:24:11,850 --> 00:24:12,784
Ha!
415
00:24:12,851 --> 00:24:15,787
No lawyer likes to
lose, monsieur Dionne.
416
00:24:15,854 --> 00:24:17,122
The odds on winning a fight
against the government
417
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:20,292
are not huh....
Favorable.
418
00:24:20,625 --> 00:24:22,594
My girls are being abused.
419
00:24:22,661 --> 00:24:25,463
My wife saw it
with her own eyes.
420
00:24:25,530 --> 00:24:27,699
The nurse who told us
about it has been fired.
421
00:24:27,766 --> 00:24:30,335
Now there's no one in
there we can trust!
422
00:24:30,402 --> 00:24:31,503
Yes, I know.
423
00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:34,739
But...
424
00:24:34,806 --> 00:24:36,007
The issue here,
monsieur Dionne,
425
00:24:36,074 --> 00:24:38,076
is the problem of your...
426
00:24:38,143 --> 00:24:40,011
Reputation.
427
00:24:41,379 --> 00:24:42,914
Why would the courts
give custody to a man who
428
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:46,618
accepted a contract to
exhibit his daughters?
429
00:24:47,185 --> 00:24:48,887
You think that?
430
00:24:48,954 --> 00:24:51,790
That Oliva
Dionne is a monster.
431
00:24:51,857 --> 00:24:53,725
A man who only wants
to exploit his kids.
432
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:55,227
No.
This is not what I'm saying.
433
00:24:55,293 --> 00:24:58,997
Have you been to Quintland?
434
00:24:59,064 --> 00:25:00,932
Twice a day my kids are put
in a cage so strangers
435
00:25:00,999 --> 00:25:03,068
can stare at them!
436
00:25:03,134 --> 00:25:07,472
Now you tell me who's
exploiting my kids!
437
00:25:07,539 --> 00:25:08,673
I tought you,
438
00:25:08,740 --> 00:25:12,510
being French
canadian like us....
439
00:25:12,577 --> 00:25:13,979
Thank you for
the consultation,
440
00:25:14,045 --> 00:25:16,414
Monsieur Poulin.
441
00:25:25,457 --> 00:25:28,560
Oh huh.
Monsieur Dionne!
442
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,230
Monsieur Dionne!
443
00:26:13,972 --> 00:26:15,974
Bonjour.
444
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:19,110
Can you give this to
your father please?
445
00:26:30,922 --> 00:26:34,726
[crowd oohing and ahhing]
446
00:27:08,893 --> 00:27:10,929
Those people, they
breed like rats!
447
00:27:10,996 --> 00:27:12,097
They're French!
448
00:27:12,163 --> 00:27:14,165
And Catholic.
[laughing]
449
00:27:16,735 --> 00:27:18,436
Ah she's so sweet!
450
00:27:24,809 --> 00:27:26,311
Monsieur Dionne!
451
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,517
Monsieur Dionne!
452
00:27:32,784 --> 00:27:34,619
Didn't you see the sign?
453
00:27:34,686 --> 00:27:35,820
No admittance!
454
00:27:35,887 --> 00:27:38,223
You want to get
your girls back hey?
455
00:27:38,723 --> 00:27:41,359
You really want to
get your girls back?
456
00:27:42,193 --> 00:27:43,294
You were right!
457
00:27:43,361 --> 00:27:46,131
You do need someone
who's French-Canadian.
458
00:27:46,965 --> 00:27:48,266
Yeah?
459
00:27:48,533 --> 00:27:52,537
Well all I know is that if my
name had been Smith or Brown,
460
00:27:52,604 --> 00:27:55,540
they would have never been
able to take away my kids.
461
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:56,541
That's it!
462
00:27:56,608 --> 00:27:58,843
That's the strategy!
463
00:27:58,910 --> 00:28:00,979
Monsieur Dionne I can
help to get your girls back.
464
00:28:01,046 --> 00:28:03,548
I'm absolutely convinced.
465
00:28:07,385 --> 00:28:13,658
Messieurs, mon pere.
When the quints were born,
466
00:28:13,725 --> 00:28:15,693
I felt proud.
467
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,729
As a French-Canadian like
all of us in this room,
468
00:28:17,796 --> 00:28:22,434
I felt proud that the Dionne
had brought honor to us.
469
00:28:22,967 --> 00:28:27,272
Then I started reading things
about them in the papers.
470
00:28:27,338 --> 00:28:30,809
Hearing stories
on the radio.
471
00:28:31,042 --> 00:28:33,912
And I was no longer proud.
472
00:28:34,179 --> 00:28:35,680
So when our government took
those little girls and gave
473
00:28:35,747 --> 00:28:37,382
them to Doctor Dafoe
to raise I thought,
474
00:28:37,449 --> 00:28:39,551
okay, good.
475
00:28:39,617 --> 00:28:42,320
Now, they're in good hands.
476
00:28:42,387 --> 00:28:43,988
But now!
477
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:46,291
Now I know better.
478
00:28:47,459 --> 00:28:49,861
Now I know that those little
girls were taken from Elzire
479
00:28:49,928 --> 00:28:54,232
and Oliva Dionne, not
because they are bad parents
480
00:28:54,299 --> 00:28:56,201
but because they are French!
481
00:28:56,267 --> 00:28:57,602
They are poor!
482
00:28:57,669 --> 00:28:59,604
And they are Catholic!
483
00:28:59,671 --> 00:29:00,538
[crown murmurs]
484
00:29:00,605 --> 00:29:02,907
How else do you explain
the lies about the Dionnes?
485
00:29:02,974 --> 00:29:05,777
The willingness of the
public to believe them?
486
00:29:05,844 --> 00:29:07,512
Would the Dionne quints have
been taken away if their
487
00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:11,816
parents had been named
Brown? Or smith?
488
00:29:11,883 --> 00:29:14,252
And this terrible injustice
has been initiated by a
489
00:29:14,319 --> 00:29:16,054
government that is racist.
490
00:29:16,121 --> 00:29:19,324
Yes.
Yes racist!
491
00:29:19,390 --> 00:29:21,860
And we, as French
Canadians and Catholics,
492
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:25,029
know what that means.
493
00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:27,298
Tell them Oliva.
494
00:29:27,365 --> 00:29:29,701
Tell them what you told me.
495
00:29:30,802 --> 00:29:34,272
It's not really the
government that I blame.
496
00:29:34,339 --> 00:29:36,674
It's Dafoe.
497
00:29:37,041 --> 00:29:39,911
More than anyone, he's
the one who's responsible.
498
00:29:39,978 --> 00:29:41,546
A doctor who's tended to
patients in the area for
499
00:29:41,613 --> 00:29:43,448
over twenty years.
500
00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:46,618
And he still
doesn't speak French.
501
00:29:46,851 --> 00:29:51,089
He's taken complete
control of our girls.
502
00:29:51,156 --> 00:29:53,224
He acts like if
he's their father
503
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:55,793
instead of their guardian.
504
00:29:55,860 --> 00:29:58,763
He makes it almost it was
impossible for us to visit.
505
00:30:00,165 --> 00:30:03,034
And he fired the only
nurse there that we trusted.
506
00:30:03,101 --> 00:30:06,504
Marie Lemoyne,
a French girl.
507
00:30:06,571 --> 00:30:07,505
The only one who
spoke to the quints
508
00:30:07,572 --> 00:30:09,641
in their mother tongue.
509
00:30:09,707 --> 00:30:12,410
The girls are growing up
unaware of their language,
510
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:14,145
their culture and
their religion.
511
00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:22,320
Mon pere, messieurs,
512
00:30:22,387 --> 00:30:25,990
we are the only ones the
Dionnes can turn to.
513
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:28,993
We are their family.
514
00:30:29,060 --> 00:30:31,396
We must spread the word.
515
00:30:31,462 --> 00:30:34,098
Denounce the
government, in the press,
516
00:30:34,165 --> 00:30:35,733
the stores and
the businesses.
517
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,636
From every pulpit.
518
00:30:38,703 --> 00:30:40,371
And not let the pressure
until those five little
519
00:30:40,438 --> 00:30:41,573
girls are home!
520
00:30:41,639 --> 00:30:44,842
Home in the arms
of their parents!
521
00:30:44,909 --> 00:30:49,948
[applause]
522
00:30:57,422 --> 00:31:01,659
Mister Hepburn, do you
hate French Canadians?
523
00:31:01,726 --> 00:31:03,561
Are you bigoted towards
French Catholics?
524
00:31:03,628 --> 00:31:05,763
Mister Hepburn.
Mister Hepburn...
525
00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:08,499
Listen fellows, I expected
questions about my raising
526
00:31:08,566 --> 00:31:11,069
the gasoline tax
to eight cents.
527
00:31:11,135 --> 00:31:12,570
So whatever it is
you're on about,
528
00:31:12,637 --> 00:31:15,540
I'm grateful it's shifted your
Attention away from that.
529
00:31:15,607 --> 00:31:16,641
[laughing]
530
00:31:21,579 --> 00:31:24,415
Gentlemen, I want
you all to know,
531
00:31:24,482 --> 00:31:26,184
I have nothing but the
utmost respect for our
532
00:31:26,251 --> 00:31:28,586
citizens of French ancestry.
533
00:31:28,653 --> 00:31:30,054
Thank you.
534
00:31:30,121 --> 00:31:32,590
That's all for
now, fellas.
535
00:31:32,657 --> 00:31:35,126
The editorials, read them.
536
00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:37,161
They're in French.
537
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,163
Allow me.
538
00:31:40,331 --> 00:31:42,600
Le gouvernement
de l'Ontario...
539
00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:44,302
I don't speak French!
540
00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:45,803
Sorry.
541
00:31:45,870 --> 00:31:47,372
Hum....
542
00:31:47,438 --> 00:31:51,042
Not only as Marie Lemoyne,
a French speaking nurse
543
00:31:51,109 --> 00:31:54,746
recently been fired, but
the head of the hospital,
544
00:31:54,812 --> 00:31:58,449
doctor Dafoe, has refused to
allow the quintuplets to
545
00:31:58,516 --> 00:32:00,418
be educated in French.
546
00:32:00,485 --> 00:32:05,089
In approving these actions
premier Hepburn insults and
547
00:32:05,156 --> 00:32:07,725
offends all
French Canadians.
548
00:32:07,792 --> 00:32:09,894
What the hell is
going on up there?
549
00:32:09,961 --> 00:32:10,895
But we ha....
550
00:32:10,962 --> 00:32:11,896
This is very smart.
551
00:32:11,963 --> 00:32:14,766
This forces us to
deal with the Dionnes.
552
00:32:14,832 --> 00:32:15,800
Throw him a bone.
553
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:16,968
Whatever it takes.
554
00:32:17,035 --> 00:32:20,138
Just get those editorials out
of the paper and off my back.
555
00:32:20,204 --> 00:32:22,740
Yes, sir.
556
00:32:28,946 --> 00:32:30,381
This is blackmail.
557
00:32:30,448 --> 00:32:31,449
Pure and simple.
558
00:32:31,516 --> 00:32:32,450
Nothing but a -
559
00:32:32,517 --> 00:32:34,919
A crude attempt to
get back the girls.
560
00:32:34,986 --> 00:32:35,920
But the thing is...
561
00:32:35,987 --> 00:32:38,790
Doctor, the premier
himself requested
562
00:32:38,856 --> 00:32:41,359
you meet with Dionne.
563
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:43,661
He's counting on your
diplomacy to help smooth
564
00:32:43,728 --> 00:32:45,463
things over.
565
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:48,066
[knocking]
566
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:59,377
Won't you come in.
567
00:33:00,712 --> 00:33:02,714
My attorney,
Monsieur Poulin.
568
00:33:02,780 --> 00:33:03,715
Monsieur.
569
00:33:03,781 --> 00:33:05,350
Sir.
-Pleasure.
570
00:33:06,451 --> 00:33:08,086
Monsieur.
-Please.
571
00:33:18,363 --> 00:33:20,531
Mister Dionne, the premier
is very concerned that this
572
00:33:20,598 --> 00:33:24,335
unfortunate misunderstanding
has taken place.
573
00:33:24,402 --> 00:33:29,073
Now let's start with the
firing of nurse Lemoyne.
574
00:33:29,307 --> 00:33:31,476
There was absolutely no
intention to deny your girls
575
00:33:31,542 --> 00:33:33,444
access to the
French Language.
576
00:33:33,511 --> 00:33:35,213
Nurse Lemoyne was
fired because of her
577
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:37,682
insubordination.
578
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:40,485
Poor nursing
skills, nothing more.
579
00:33:40,551 --> 00:33:42,920
She'd been warned not
to be friendly with us.
580
00:33:42,987 --> 00:33:44,889
That was insubordination?
581
00:33:44,956 --> 00:33:48,459
Gentlemen, let's not
get mired in details.
582
00:33:49,327 --> 00:33:52,964
What we propose is to hire
a French speaking teacher.
583
00:33:53,030 --> 00:33:55,400
Would that be agreeable to
your client Mister Poulin?
584
00:33:55,466 --> 00:33:56,968
Very agreeable sir.
585
00:33:57,034 --> 00:34:00,838
But we have a few
other requirements.
586
00:34:00,905 --> 00:34:03,474
To start with...
587
00:34:04,308 --> 00:34:06,944
The nurses must be all
French speaking to preserve
588
00:34:07,011 --> 00:34:10,581
the French
culture of the girls.
589
00:34:11,048 --> 00:34:13,851
Also, parents must be
guaranteed free and
590
00:34:13,918 --> 00:34:15,820
unrestricted visits.
591
00:34:15,887 --> 00:34:17,688
This is something the
government promised,
592
00:34:17,755 --> 00:34:20,091
But which the staff
has never respected.
593
00:34:20,158 --> 00:34:21,359
[mutters]
594
00:34:21,426 --> 00:34:24,395
The parents insist that
the ridiculous and inhuman
595
00:34:24,462 --> 00:34:29,100
schedule of doctor
Burroughs be stopped.
596
00:34:29,967 --> 00:34:32,470
The parents also want and
end to the public show
597
00:34:32,537 --> 00:34:33,905
with the girls.
598
00:34:33,971 --> 00:34:36,741
They're children,
not trained monkeys.
599
00:34:38,075 --> 00:34:41,112
There's also the
matter of the girls' income.
600
00:34:41,179 --> 00:34:43,281
How it's being managed.
601
00:34:43,347 --> 00:34:44,849
We want to see the books.
602
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:45,850
Outrageous!
603
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,285
Jeffrey, who is this man?!
604
00:34:47,351 --> 00:34:49,320
Have you ever
seen mister huh...
605
00:34:49,387 --> 00:34:50,822
Poulin.
606
00:34:50,888 --> 00:34:52,123
Poulin's credentials?
607
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:53,791
Cause he's French-Canadian,
he can't be smart enough
608
00:34:53,858 --> 00:34:55,960
to be a lawyer?
Is that what you mean?
609
00:34:56,027 --> 00:34:59,096
I'm sure doctor Dafoe didn't
mean to imply any disrespect.
610
00:34:59,163 --> 00:35:00,765
Gentleman, I won't tolerate
this man's ignorant...
611
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:03,701
And I won't tolerate
my girls being abused!
612
00:35:03,768 --> 00:35:05,470
Abused?!
613
00:35:05,536 --> 00:35:06,971
How dare you suggest...
614
00:35:07,038 --> 00:35:07,972
I don't suggest!
615
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:08,973
I know!
616
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,375
Nurse MacPhail, I
want her out today!
617
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:12,376
Oliva!
618
00:35:12,443 --> 00:35:13,711
If you don't throw
her out, I will!
619
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:16,681
I am the head of this
hospital, mister Dionne.
620
00:35:16,747 --> 00:35:20,051
I make the decisions here.
621
00:35:20,117 --> 00:35:22,119
You think you can contiue
to run this circus 'till my
622
00:35:22,186 --> 00:35:24,956
daughters are eighteen?
623
00:35:25,523 --> 00:35:28,826
I have nothing more
to say to this man.
624
00:35:31,095 --> 00:35:32,663
When this is over, believe,
me you'll be walking out
625
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:33,865
that door for good!
626
00:35:33,931 --> 00:35:36,167
Gentlemen!
627
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,870
Shall we continue?
628
00:35:39,136 --> 00:35:40,972
Elzire.
629
00:35:50,581 --> 00:35:51,949
Look, nurse MacPhail...
630
00:35:52,016 --> 00:35:54,619
She's leaving!
631
00:35:55,753 --> 00:35:59,924
Round one Elzire!
Round one for us!
632
00:36:05,329 --> 00:36:08,533
This is giving in
to the Dionnes.
633
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:10,968
It will set a
dangerous precedent.
634
00:36:11,035 --> 00:36:13,037
Let us worry
about that doctor.
635
00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:16,173
Besides, we haven't given in to
them in any significant way.
636
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:18,075
Nothing's going
to change doctor.
637
00:36:18,142 --> 00:36:21,045
The Dionnes just
don't know that yet.
638
00:36:27,919 --> 00:36:31,055
[laughing]
639
00:36:31,122 --> 00:36:32,723
Annette!
640
00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:34,225
Cécile!
641
00:36:34,292 --> 00:36:35,893
Yvonne!
642
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,695
Émilie!
643
00:36:37,762 --> 00:36:41,098
And Marie!
644
00:36:47,638 --> 00:36:49,774
Papa Dionne you've
certainly done your part.
645
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,375
More than your part!
646
00:36:51,442 --> 00:36:52,443
[laughing]
647
00:36:52,510 --> 00:36:53,978
Every miracle
needs a miracle doctor.
648
00:36:54,045 --> 00:36:57,181
And here he is the
stork's worst enemy,
649
00:36:57,248 --> 00:36:59,483
all the way from the the
wilds of Canada,
650
00:36:59,550 --> 00:37:04,355
Doctor Alan Roy Dafoe!
651
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:10,962
Fertility stones!
652
00:37:11,228 --> 00:37:13,497
Fertility stones!
653
00:37:14,098 --> 00:37:17,034
Fertility stones!
654
00:37:17,101 --> 00:37:21,005
[laughing]
655
00:37:30,548 --> 00:37:33,250
Well, babies are all
I know, you know.
656
00:37:33,317 --> 00:37:34,719
[laughing]
657
00:37:34,785 --> 00:37:37,688
I. I...
658
00:37:43,961 --> 00:37:45,396
I used to be a doctor.
659
00:37:45,463 --> 00:37:47,298
I am yet.
660
00:37:47,365 --> 00:37:49,166
Uh... Now I'm kind
of uh. A doctor.
661
00:37:49,233 --> 00:37:50,601
And a general manager.
662
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,937
And a publicity agent.
And huh...
663
00:37:55,272 --> 00:37:57,675
Helena wasn't
tonight a scream?
664
00:37:58,643 --> 00:38:01,012
Yeah, that's
one word for it.
665
00:38:01,078 --> 00:38:03,414
You're quite a
celebrity, aren't you Roy.
666
00:38:03,481 --> 00:38:04,715
Ha! ha!
Not me.
667
00:38:04,782 --> 00:38:06,017
No it's my baby girls.
668
00:38:06,083 --> 00:38:08,185
They are the celebrities.
669
00:38:08,252 --> 00:38:10,354
They must learn
to be looked at,
670
00:38:10,421 --> 00:38:12,189
Talked about, written about.
671
00:38:12,256 --> 00:38:14,458
And studied
without loosing their...
672
00:38:14,525 --> 00:38:18,462
Their sense of proportion,
their ability to enjoy life.
673
00:38:18,529 --> 00:38:20,398
Celebrities come and go...
674
00:38:20,464 --> 00:38:24,068
Not my girls, They will
always have to buy their
675
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:27,171
privacy and pay
for it dearly.
676
00:38:27,772 --> 00:38:30,174
We must continue to build
sufficient funds to make it
677
00:38:30,241 --> 00:38:32,610
possible for them
to have peace and,
678
00:38:32,677 --> 00:38:35,446
and freedom as
the years go by..
679
00:38:35,513 --> 00:38:37,481
After I'm gone.
680
00:38:37,548 --> 00:38:39,884
What do you think they'll be
doing when they get older?
681
00:38:39,950 --> 00:38:41,652
Oh when they get older,
I think people will stop
682
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,088
looking at them and
start looking to them.
683
00:38:44,155 --> 00:38:48,259
There'll be world
tours and lectures and
684
00:38:48,325 --> 00:38:50,895
they'll become
goodwill Am..am..am..am..
685
00:38:50,961 --> 00:38:52,196
Ambassadors.
686
00:38:52,263 --> 00:38:53,364
Model canadian citizens...
687
00:38:53,431 --> 00:38:56,133
They'll meet with
kings and queens and.
688
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,835
And presidents...
689
00:38:57,902 --> 00:39:00,004
They'll be leaders.
690
00:39:01,439 --> 00:39:04,775
What happens if they
just want ordinary lives.
691
00:39:04,842 --> 00:39:06,811
But they're not
ordinary girls.
692
00:39:06,877 --> 00:39:08,612
They're the quints.
693
00:39:08,679 --> 00:39:11,048
And.. And
that will never change.
694
00:39:12,516 --> 00:39:16,020
[singing to himself]
695
00:39:18,322 --> 00:39:20,291
In New York City, more
than seven hundred people
696
00:39:20,357 --> 00:39:23,327
gathered for another fun
filled afternoon at the
697
00:39:23,394 --> 00:39:26,964
city's famous Circus
Saints and Sinners club.
698
00:39:27,031 --> 00:39:28,666
And the biggest laughs were
provided by none other
699
00:39:28,733 --> 00:39:31,001
than papa Dionne.
700
00:39:31,068 --> 00:39:33,904
And yes, that's our
very own miracle doctor.
701
00:39:33,971 --> 00:39:37,608
Doctor Alan Roy Dafoe
in the graduation gown.
702
00:39:37,675 --> 00:39:40,644
Yes, our very own miracle
doctor played along like the
703
00:39:40,711 --> 00:39:42,546
good sport he is.
704
00:39:42,613 --> 00:39:45,583
No fertility stones for me.
705
00:39:45,950 --> 00:39:48,452
In Europe, German
forces...
706
00:39:50,988 --> 00:39:52,590
He knows what he's doing.
707
00:39:52,656 --> 00:39:54,725
He knows as long as people
are laughing at me
708
00:39:54,792 --> 00:39:57,027
he stays in control.
709
00:39:59,130 --> 00:40:03,200
Oliva that's the best thing
that's ever happened.
710
00:40:03,267 --> 00:40:06,570
This means we can sue him.
For defamation!
711
00:40:06,637 --> 00:40:09,373
And wait a couple of
years to go to court?
712
00:40:09,874 --> 00:40:14,011
He deserves worse, Martin.
713
00:40:14,645 --> 00:40:18,983
He deserves a taste of
what I've been getting.
714
00:40:21,652 --> 00:40:24,755
Is there anything happening
soon with Dafoe and the girls?
715
00:40:24,822 --> 00:40:27,558
They're supposed to
meet the king and queen.
716
00:40:27,625 --> 00:40:29,927
Ha! Nothing doing with
the king and queen.
717
00:40:29,994 --> 00:40:32,196
You know the way
people feel about them?
718
00:40:32,596 --> 00:40:34,298
What else?
719
00:40:34,365 --> 00:40:36,033
Well he's always
giving lectures but
720
00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:39,904
that's out of town.
721
00:40:39,970 --> 00:40:43,774
There's, there's a big mother's
day radio broadcast.
722
00:40:44,408 --> 00:40:46,210
Dafoe and the girls.
723
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:47,645
And what do the girls do?
724
00:40:47,711 --> 00:40:49,814
Just say a few words.
725
00:40:53,017 --> 00:40:55,219
In English?
726
00:40:56,620 --> 00:40:58,689
He's like my dolly.
727
00:40:58,756 --> 00:41:02,159
Except he's warm
And he smells good.
728
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:03,828
Hmm.
729
00:41:04,428 --> 00:41:06,263
His name is Oliva.
730
00:41:06,330 --> 00:41:08,799
Like his papa.
731
00:41:08,866 --> 00:41:12,736
And he's not just a
baby, he's your brother.
732
00:41:13,304 --> 00:41:15,039
Do you know what that means?
733
00:41:15,105 --> 00:41:17,541
How can he be my brother
when he wasn't born
734
00:41:17,608 --> 00:41:19,543
at the same time as me?
735
00:41:19,610 --> 00:41:22,179
Ha. Not all of babies
are born together
736
00:41:22,246 --> 00:41:24,682
like you girls, Yvonne.
737
00:41:24,748 --> 00:41:27,885
Usually they
come one at a time.
738
00:41:30,354 --> 00:41:32,122
Pauvre p'tite.
739
00:41:32,189 --> 00:41:34,959
There's so much
you don't know.
740
00:41:35,025 --> 00:41:39,663
Outside these walls people
live together in one house.
741
00:41:39,730 --> 00:41:42,700
The mama, the
papa and the babies.
742
00:41:42,766 --> 00:41:44,401
What's it like outside?
743
00:41:44,468 --> 00:41:46,470
Where all the people are?
744
00:41:46,537 --> 00:41:48,606
Outside.
745
00:41:48,672 --> 00:41:49,607
The people.
746
00:41:49,673 --> 00:41:53,110
The people go round
and round in a tunnel.
747
00:41:53,177 --> 00:41:56,380
Just round and round.
748
00:41:56,447 --> 00:41:58,549
And they don't
wear white coats!
749
00:41:58,616 --> 00:42:02,386
And they live in cars and the
cars go up and down the road.
750
00:42:02,453 --> 00:42:03,687
Up and down!
751
00:42:03,754 --> 00:42:06,590
Up and down!
752
00:42:12,396 --> 00:42:13,697
Hey!
Come closer, girls.
753
00:42:13,764 --> 00:42:15,966
It's papa.
754
00:42:16,233 --> 00:42:18,502
Come on, come closer.
755
00:42:18,769 --> 00:42:21,038
Come.
756
00:42:21,438 --> 00:42:22,740
Come....
757
00:42:22,806 --> 00:42:26,410
Hi girls, hi.
758
00:42:29,747 --> 00:42:32,549
I like this.
759
00:42:32,616 --> 00:42:34,485
Just like this.
760
00:42:34,551 --> 00:42:38,289
You and me
Oliva, and our girls.
761
00:42:38,589 --> 00:42:41,558
Listen Elzire,
I've got an idea.
762
00:42:41,625 --> 00:42:44,295
It's something the
girls can help me with.
763
00:42:44,361 --> 00:42:45,596
Hey!
Les filles!
764
00:42:45,663 --> 00:42:47,464
You wanna do
something for me?
765
00:42:47,531 --> 00:42:48,465
Huh?
For your papa?
766
00:42:48,532 --> 00:42:49,566
Papa Dafoe?
767
00:42:49,633 --> 00:42:54,838
No! Yvonne me, huh?
Your real papa!
768
00:42:56,373 --> 00:42:58,909
Doctor Dafoe is not
fit to be anyone's papa.
769
00:42:58,976 --> 00:43:01,712
And he's not a nice man!
770
00:43:05,115 --> 00:43:08,953
It's going to be
like playing a trick.
771
00:43:10,187 --> 00:43:11,555
You wanna know what it is?
772
00:43:11,622 --> 00:43:13,023
Oliva what are
you talking about?
773
00:43:13,090 --> 00:43:15,759
I want you to do something
special for me.
774
00:43:15,826 --> 00:43:18,362
And it's gonna
be our secret.
775
00:43:20,798 --> 00:43:23,467
Your papa ha a
big treat for you.
776
00:43:23,534 --> 00:43:26,470
Something the mean doctor
Dafoe won't allow but that
777
00:43:26,537 --> 00:43:29,306
all children love.
778
00:43:29,373 --> 00:43:32,176
It's called chocolate.
779
00:43:33,477 --> 00:43:35,646
Look.
780
00:43:58,402 --> 00:44:00,804
Tuesday it's the association
of senators wives,
781
00:44:00,871 --> 00:44:02,940
next week, and
that's in Washington DC.
782
00:44:03,007 --> 00:44:04,775
Oh! Eddie Cantor
called and wants you
783
00:44:04,842 --> 00:44:06,977
on his radio program.
784
00:44:07,044 --> 00:44:08,212
The fee's one
thousand dollars.
785
00:44:08,278 --> 00:44:09,279
Good.
786
00:44:09,346 --> 00:44:10,414
Has my
invitation arrived yet?
787
00:44:10,481 --> 00:44:11,415
Huh?
From the king and queen?
788
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:13,417
Yes.
-No. No not yet.
789
00:44:13,484 --> 00:44:15,819
And here is your
draft of the column.
790
00:44:15,886 --> 00:44:18,789
You're giving advice to
mothers with a colicky baby.
791
00:44:18,856 --> 00:44:20,324
I'm sure it'll
be fine, George.
792
00:44:20,591 --> 00:44:21,525
There they are!
793
00:44:21,592 --> 00:44:22,960
There are my darlings.
794
00:44:23,027 --> 00:44:25,462
Did you miss me?
Huh? Did you?
795
00:44:25,729 --> 00:44:27,898
Lowell, how are you?
796
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:29,666
I'm fine Roy, you?
797
00:44:29,733 --> 00:44:31,168
Exhausted.
798
00:44:31,235 --> 00:44:32,202
Too many speeches.
799
00:44:32,269 --> 00:44:34,004
I don't know how
you folks do it?
800
00:44:34,071 --> 00:44:35,205
Have you done Carnegie hall?
801
00:44:35,272 --> 00:44:36,940
That was my last
one, to a packed house.
802
00:44:37,007 --> 00:44:37,941
The place is huge.
803
00:44:38,008 --> 00:44:40,444
I lost my voice
halfway through.
804
00:44:40,511 --> 00:44:43,213
Do my girls
know their lines?
805
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,448
Huh, doctor.
806
00:44:44,515 --> 00:44:46,517
Excuse me, the
Dionnes are at the door.
807
00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:48,318
What?
808
00:44:48,385 --> 00:44:49,420
Ahhh!
809
00:44:49,486 --> 00:44:51,822
Why do they
have to come now?
810
00:44:51,889 --> 00:44:52,923
Tell them...
811
00:44:52,990 --> 00:44:53,991
Sir, they'd like to watch.
812
00:44:54,058 --> 00:44:55,659
They'd like to
watch the program.
813
00:44:55,726 --> 00:44:57,995
And they are
with their lawyer.
814
00:44:58,629 --> 00:45:00,798
Alright , Lowell?
815
00:45:00,864 --> 00:45:01,965
Excuse me.
816
00:45:02,032 --> 00:45:04,835
Do you mind if
the Dionnes sit in?
817
00:45:04,902 --> 00:45:06,937
Well as long as
they're quiet.
818
00:45:07,004 --> 00:45:09,106
Thirty seconds to
air, Mister Tomas.
819
00:45:10,407 --> 00:45:11,442
Yes.
820
00:45:11,508 --> 00:45:13,277
Radio: In France, president
Lebrun has announced that
821
00:45:13,343 --> 00:45:16,280
Hitler's occupation of Prague
has once and for all ended any
822
00:45:16,346 --> 00:45:18,782
illusion of appeasement.
823
00:45:18,849 --> 00:45:21,185
And now stay tuned
for Lowell Thomas,
824
00:45:21,251 --> 00:45:23,821
who'll broadcast to you
direct From the nursery of
825
00:45:23,887 --> 00:45:26,056
the Dionne quintuplets.
826
00:45:27,324 --> 00:45:29,226
Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.
827
00:45:29,293 --> 00:45:32,362
Yes, tonight I speak to you
live from the nursery of the
828
00:45:32,429 --> 00:45:34,231
Dionne Quintuplets.
829
00:45:34,298 --> 00:45:36,733
And a very nice
room it is too.
830
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:41,105
In one corner I see five comfy
beds each with its own color.
831
00:45:41,171 --> 00:45:44,074
Cécile's bed is green and
decorated with a drawing
832
00:45:44,141 --> 00:45:45,809
of a turkey.
833
00:45:45,876 --> 00:45:49,413
Yvonne's bed is pink and
adorned with a bluebird.
834
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,849
Émilie's is
yellow with a tulip.
835
00:45:51,915 --> 00:45:54,618
Annette 's is mauve and
marked with a maple leaf
836
00:45:54,685 --> 00:45:57,454
and last but not Least
little Marie's is blue
837
00:45:57,521 --> 00:45:59,056
with a teddy bear.
838
00:45:59,123 --> 00:46:01,191
And here they are
right next to me,
839
00:46:01,258 --> 00:46:05,095
the Dionne quintuplets,
Yvonne, Annette,
840
00:46:05,162 --> 00:46:07,764
Cécile, Émilie and Marie.
841
00:46:07,831 --> 00:46:11,201
Good evening girls.
842
00:46:13,704 --> 00:46:16,907
And who better to wish the
mothers of America a very
843
00:46:16,974 --> 00:46:19,743
happy day but The
Dionne quintuplets.
844
00:46:19,810 --> 00:46:22,946
Am I right girls?
845
00:46:26,850 --> 00:46:29,219
Well I can assure you
ladies and gentlemen the uh.
846
00:46:29,286 --> 00:46:31,555
The girls are in full
agreement with me
847
00:46:31,622 --> 00:46:33,457
on that subject.
848
00:46:33,524 --> 00:46:39,630
And as soon as we get their
microphone adjusted we will
849
00:46:39,696 --> 00:46:42,266
hear a few words from them.
850
00:46:46,069 --> 00:46:47,371
Girls...
851
00:46:47,437 --> 00:46:50,574
Well here they are to send
their best greetings to you
852
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:53,810
ladies on Mother's Day,
853
00:46:53,877 --> 00:46:57,414
Yvonne, Annette, Cécile,
Émilie, and Marie.
854
00:47:05,822 --> 00:47:06,957
Well ladies and gentlemen.
855
00:47:07,024 --> 00:47:11,528
It seems that
the quints are...
856
00:47:11,595 --> 00:47:14,998
Well they're playing a,
a little trick on me.
857
00:47:15,065 --> 00:47:17,834
Now girls wouldn't you like
to say a few words to the
858
00:47:17,901 --> 00:47:19,870
mothers of America?
859
00:47:19,937 --> 00:47:21,538
Non.
860
00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:23,907
No?
You wouldn't?
861
00:47:23,974 --> 00:47:26,310
And why not?
862
00:47:26,543 --> 00:47:28,745
It's not nice to
speak in english.
863
00:47:28,812 --> 00:47:29,746
Yvonne!
864
00:47:29,813 --> 00:47:32,883
Girls!
865
00:47:33,350 --> 00:47:35,385
No, no.
Lowell don't...
866
00:47:35,619 --> 00:47:37,521
We have been experiencing
technical difficulties...
867
00:47:37,588 --> 00:47:39,790
It's a joke or what,
now come on girls?
868
00:47:39,856 --> 00:47:40,857
Girls!
869
00:47:40,924 --> 00:47:42,459
...as we attempt
to restore service from the
870
00:47:42,526 --> 00:47:45,495
nursery of the
Dionne quintuplets.
871
00:47:47,397 --> 00:47:49,266
Girls!
872
00:47:54,805 --> 00:47:57,107
It's alright Marie.
873
00:47:59,910 --> 00:48:01,912
That's my girls!
874
00:48:10,754 --> 00:48:14,791
Don't you understand what this
"French mess" can do to me?
875
00:48:14,858 --> 00:48:15,892
Chief.
876
00:48:15,959 --> 00:48:17,861
You're much too important
man to be bothered by a
877
00:48:17,928 --> 00:48:19,830
bunch of Frenchies.
878
00:48:19,896 --> 00:48:22,566
Good lord man, where is
your sense of judgement.
879
00:48:22,633 --> 00:48:26,303
Publicly ridiculing Oliva
Dionne in the newsreels?
880
00:48:26,370 --> 00:48:29,239
And this doctor of litters
spectacle in New York?
881
00:48:29,306 --> 00:48:30,240
Why not?
882
00:48:30,307 --> 00:48:31,642
Don't why not me.
883
00:48:31,708 --> 00:48:33,744
I'm not one of your fancy
New York friends in the
884
00:48:33,810 --> 00:48:37,214
press who can lap up that
kind of crap all day long.
885
00:48:37,281 --> 00:48:39,249
It was harmless fun.
886
00:48:39,316 --> 00:48:40,884
It was an honor to be
invited to the Saints and
887
00:48:40,951 --> 00:48:42,319
Sinners luncheon.
888
00:48:42,386 --> 00:48:44,121
It would have be
disrespectful if i. I...
889
00:48:44,187 --> 00:48:46,456
Leslie here had a quiet talk
with Dionne lawyer about
890
00:48:46,523 --> 00:48:48,692
your little New York show.
891
00:48:48,759 --> 00:48:52,296
They're toying with the idea
of suing you for defamation.
892
00:48:52,362 --> 00:48:54,731
However they've agreed to
drop the suit in exchange
893
00:48:54,798 --> 00:48:58,135
for a look at all financial
records, including yours.
894
00:48:58,201 --> 00:49:00,070
What?
895
00:49:00,137 --> 00:49:01,405
It's none of their business.
896
00:49:01,471 --> 00:49:03,407
I don't know how
you managed it Roy,
897
00:49:03,473 --> 00:49:06,476
but you got this
reputation as a saint.
898
00:49:06,543 --> 00:49:08,979
A selfless man who's
never profited from his
899
00:49:09,046 --> 00:49:12,683
association with his
adorable little girls.
900
00:49:12,749 --> 00:49:14,918
However that picture would
change if they got a look
901
00:49:14,985 --> 00:49:16,420
into your books,
now wouldn't it?
902
00:49:16,486 --> 00:49:19,189
The advertisers always
demanded I be in the picture!
903
00:49:19,256 --> 00:49:22,259
They say the quints
are nothing without me.
904
00:49:22,326 --> 00:49:25,295
Roy, you received
thirty thousand dollars as a
905
00:49:25,362 --> 00:49:27,964
technical adviser on
the quints' movie.
906
00:49:28,031 --> 00:49:30,100
Plus thousands of
dollars for lectures,
907
00:49:30,167 --> 00:49:32,002
for endorsements.
908
00:49:32,069 --> 00:49:34,604
Everything from Karo
syrup to Chevrolets.
909
00:49:34,671 --> 00:49:36,039
But you've always
known this...
910
00:49:36,106 --> 00:49:37,040
You don't talk, Roy.
911
00:49:37,107 --> 00:49:39,810
You just sit
there and listen.
912
00:49:42,979 --> 00:49:45,949
Now. This what
you're going to do.
913
00:49:46,283 --> 00:49:49,653
You're gonna
resign as guardian.
914
00:49:50,487 --> 00:49:52,322
No.
915
00:49:54,391 --> 00:49:55,459
Ho no!
916
00:49:55,525 --> 00:49:58,195
You have no
choice in the matter.
917
00:49:58,729 --> 00:50:00,831
But you gave
those girls to me.
918
00:50:00,897 --> 00:50:03,900
To keep them safe
'till they were eighteen.
919
00:50:04,601 --> 00:50:06,970
They're.
920
00:50:07,604 --> 00:50:09,005
They're the only things
in the world that mean
921
00:50:09,072 --> 00:50:10,207
anything to me.
922
00:50:10,273 --> 00:50:14,478
They're not things
Roy, they're people.
923
00:50:14,544 --> 00:50:16,346
You're the one.
924
00:50:16,413 --> 00:50:19,850
That made the decision
to build the hospital.
925
00:50:19,916 --> 00:50:23,220
To, to, to set up the board...
926
00:50:23,286 --> 00:50:24,721
Quintland!
927
00:50:24,788 --> 00:50:29,092
It, it, it was you,
your government.
928
00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:31,528
You're no longer a guardian.
929
00:50:31,595 --> 00:50:32,896
That's my decision.
930
00:50:32,963 --> 00:50:35,432
However you're still in
charge of the hospital.
931
00:50:35,499 --> 00:50:37,667
You should be
grateful for that.
932
00:50:37,968 --> 00:50:39,736
Deliver the books
to the Dionnes.
933
00:50:39,803 --> 00:50:41,471
Everything except Roy's.
934
00:50:41,538 --> 00:50:43,974
See if they'll accept that.
935
00:50:49,613 --> 00:50:51,181
Supplies for
hospital and staff house,
936
00:50:51,248 --> 00:50:53,517
Two thousand four hundred
and eighty four dollars.
937
00:50:53,583 --> 00:50:55,419
Salary,
construction foreman,
938
00:50:55,485 --> 00:50:57,988
three hundred and
ninety five dollars.
939
00:50:58,054 --> 00:51:00,323
Wages, policeman, one
thousand six hundred and
940
00:51:00,390 --> 00:51:02,993
ninety eight dollars.
941
00:51:03,059 --> 00:51:05,195
Why are those expenses
in the girls' books?
942
00:51:05,262 --> 00:51:06,763
Because they're paying them.
943
00:51:06,830 --> 00:51:08,598
They're paying
for everything!
944
00:51:08,665 --> 00:51:09,766
All the expenses,
they're coming out of the
945
00:51:09,833 --> 00:51:12,536
quintuplet's own money.
946
00:51:14,037 --> 00:51:15,972
Maintenance,
nurses salaries,
947
00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:19,676
fire insurance,
medical supplies,
948
00:51:19,743 --> 00:51:22,212
legal services, food!
949
00:51:22,279 --> 00:51:24,915
Not only for the
quints, for everyone.
950
00:51:24,981 --> 00:51:27,884
Phone bills,
hardware, sign painting,
951
00:51:27,951 --> 00:51:29,719
lightning rods,
you believe this,
952
00:51:29,786 --> 00:51:31,988
Even the lightning rods.
953
00:51:32,055 --> 00:51:33,490
But I thought.
954
00:51:33,557 --> 00:51:34,791
I thought the government
was supposed to pay
955
00:51:34,858 --> 00:51:35,959
for all this.
956
00:51:36,026 --> 00:51:37,494
Ha! You
thought that, eh?
957
00:51:37,561 --> 00:51:39,463
Well while the government's
making millions in revenue
958
00:51:39,529 --> 00:51:41,097
from the tourists, it's
the girl who are paying
959
00:51:41,164 --> 00:51:42,599
for everything.
960
00:51:42,666 --> 00:51:45,969
They're even paying for
their own birthday presents.
961
00:51:46,036 --> 00:51:48,138
And what's this?
962
00:51:48,205 --> 00:51:49,739
Dafoe's phone bills.
963
00:51:49,806 --> 00:51:51,208
Huh!
964
00:51:51,274 --> 00:51:52,576
They're paying for his,
his phone bills?!
965
00:51:52,642 --> 00:51:53,643
Yes, sir!
966
00:51:53,710 --> 00:51:54,911
And look what all
this is costing them.
967
00:51:54,978 --> 00:51:57,414
Hundreds of
thousands of dollars!
968
00:52:00,317 --> 00:52:01,518
I just don't get it.
969
00:52:01,585 --> 00:52:04,221
All these people still
wanting to see the quints.
970
00:52:04,287 --> 00:52:06,957
It's a cult:
cult of the child.
971
00:52:07,023 --> 00:52:08,892
It's not hard to understand.
972
00:52:08,959 --> 00:52:11,194
We're living at a time
when people can barely
973
00:52:11,261 --> 00:52:13,930
hold on to their hope.
974
00:52:13,997 --> 00:52:16,032
Believing in dreams.
975
00:52:16,099 --> 00:52:18,335
Children.
976
00:52:18,401 --> 00:52:19,836
Children
represent endless hope,
977
00:52:19,903 --> 00:52:21,638
endless possibility.
978
00:52:21,705 --> 00:52:23,240
Very nice.
979
00:52:23,306 --> 00:52:25,642
That's why I get
the big money.
980
00:52:35,652 --> 00:52:37,454
Thanks.
981
00:52:38,788 --> 00:52:40,023
You're gonna ask
Doc Dafoe about
982
00:52:40,090 --> 00:52:41,858
that Lowell Thomas
Embarrassment?
983
00:52:41,925 --> 00:52:43,293
Ho! Nobody would have
been more embarrassed
984
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,762
than Roy by that.
985
00:52:45,829 --> 00:52:49,699
That pleading
tone, live, on air...
986
00:52:49,766 --> 00:52:52,369
For the whole
country to hear.
987
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:55,705
I'm telling you, Nelson, there's
something going on here.
988
00:52:55,772 --> 00:52:58,174
And it's something big.
989
00:52:58,842 --> 00:53:01,177
Just wish I
knew what it was.
990
00:53:06,917 --> 00:53:09,386
Wait a minute,
wait a minute...
991
00:53:12,122 --> 00:53:14,124
Wait here.
992
00:53:14,190 --> 00:53:15,125
But. Wait.
993
00:53:15,191 --> 00:53:16,326
Wait a minute, what
are you doing?
994
00:53:16,393 --> 00:53:18,194
You just wait
there, I'll be back.
995
00:53:21,798 --> 00:53:23,433
The king and queen!
996
00:53:23,733 --> 00:53:27,470
I am invited to meet
their Royal Majesties
997
00:53:27,537 --> 00:53:30,941
and introduce them
to the girls.
998
00:53:31,007 --> 00:53:32,242
[giggles]
999
00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:34,177
You know George, I've
met so many celebrities.
1000
00:53:34,244 --> 00:53:35,912
But this takes the cake.
1001
00:53:35,979 --> 00:53:38,715
Doctor, I was wondering
if, for any reason,
1002
00:53:38,782 --> 00:53:41,017
I should be
looking For another job.
1003
00:53:41,084 --> 00:53:42,953
Hmm?
1004
00:53:44,321 --> 00:53:47,958
Dafoe losing grip on quints.
1005
00:53:48,191 --> 00:53:50,894
All is not well in Quintland
where doctor Alan Roy
1006
00:53:50,961 --> 00:53:55,665
Dafoe's hold on his cute quints
is said to be slipping.
1007
00:53:55,732 --> 00:53:56,733
Nonsense George.
1008
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,268
Pure utter nonsense.
1009
00:53:58,335 --> 00:54:00,937
I'm still the boss.
1010
00:54:01,838 --> 00:54:03,940
Mrs. Dionne, hear me out.
1011
00:54:04,007 --> 00:54:05,609
There's two sides
to every story,
1012
00:54:05,675 --> 00:54:07,811
I just want to hear yours.
1013
00:54:07,877 --> 00:54:10,347
As easy as that?
1014
00:54:10,413 --> 00:54:12,182
You think it's as easy as
that after all the things
1015
00:54:12,248 --> 00:54:14,317
you said about us?
1016
00:54:14,384 --> 00:54:17,621
I would say go to
hell to you Madame,
1017
00:54:17,687 --> 00:54:21,758
but I'm a religious
woman, So I won't.
1018
00:54:23,259 --> 00:54:25,328
People say that
you're not a good mother!
1019
00:54:25,395 --> 00:54:28,965
People say that's why
you lost the girls.
1020
00:54:29,633 --> 00:54:31,501
They don't know me.
1021
00:54:31,568 --> 00:54:33,470
They don't know
anything about me.
1022
00:54:33,536 --> 00:54:36,306
Then tell me.
1023
00:54:36,373 --> 00:54:40,510
Tell me and I'll
tell the world.
1024
00:54:45,782 --> 00:54:47,384
If my husband
sees you here...
1025
00:54:47,450 --> 00:54:51,421
Ho! I know, he'll shoot me.
1026
00:55:02,365 --> 00:55:04,467
This must be yours.
1027
00:55:08,371 --> 00:55:09,506
This kitchen, look at it.
1028
00:55:09,572 --> 00:55:12,876
You there baking
pies, it's like.
1029
00:55:12,942 --> 00:55:16,312
It's like an illustration
out of a magazine.
1030
00:55:16,713 --> 00:55:18,948
Maybe for you.
1031
00:55:21,951 --> 00:55:23,987
Good let's just act like
this is any other day.
1032
00:55:24,054 --> 00:55:26,022
Perfect for my purpose.
1033
00:55:26,089 --> 00:55:27,157
Fine!
1034
00:55:27,223 --> 00:55:29,025
Then why don't
you shell the peas.
1035
00:55:29,092 --> 00:55:30,794
Why don't I what?
1036
00:55:30,860 --> 00:55:33,129
Shell the peas.
1037
00:55:34,597 --> 00:55:37,033
Shell the peas?
1038
00:55:43,273 --> 00:55:45,575
This is the shell.
1039
00:55:46,476 --> 00:55:49,079
And those are the peas.
1040
00:55:50,580 --> 00:55:53,216
Ho! Would you look at that!
1041
00:55:57,987 --> 00:55:59,889
You have children?
1042
00:56:00,056 --> 00:56:00,990
No!
1043
00:56:01,057 --> 00:56:03,259
No...
Not a one.
1044
00:56:03,326 --> 00:56:06,396
No kids, that
explains a lot.
1045
00:56:06,629 --> 00:56:08,364
Ho!
Who has time?
1046
00:56:08,598 --> 00:56:13,737
Ho! Maybe if I could find some
poor dame to have one for me...
1047
00:56:13,803 --> 00:56:16,372
Ho! No offense!
1048
00:56:16,439 --> 00:56:18,374
Now listen, I came here
to interview you.
1049
00:56:18,441 --> 00:56:19,442
[baby crying]
1050
00:56:19,509 --> 00:56:21,778
Tell me.
Tell me who you are.
1051
00:56:21,845 --> 00:56:24,581
Tell me what your story is.
1052
00:56:29,385 --> 00:56:33,389
When I was little, I had ten
dolls and I told people that
1053
00:56:36,793 --> 00:56:41,197
one day I was going to
marry and have ten kids.
1054
00:56:42,198 --> 00:56:47,170
That's all I ever wanted.
Have ten kids.
1055
00:56:47,237 --> 00:56:51,975
You must have
married awfully young.
1056
00:56:52,041 --> 00:56:53,977
[crying]
1057
00:56:54,043 --> 00:56:57,947
Qu'est-ce c'est ça?
C'pas grave, c'pas grave ça.
1058
00:57:00,116 --> 00:57:01,518
Hold him please.
1059
00:57:01,584 --> 00:57:03,486
Hold him?
1060
00:57:03,553 --> 00:57:05,221
Hoo!
My goodness.
1061
00:57:08,625 --> 00:57:10,226
Viens.
1062
00:57:12,829 --> 00:57:17,634
When I was sixteen, all
the girls from all over,
1063
00:57:17,700 --> 00:57:20,970
the only one they
wanted was Oliva Dionne.
1064
00:57:21,037 --> 00:57:22,772
He was a bon parti.
1065
00:57:22,839 --> 00:57:25,041
A good catch.
1066
00:57:25,475 --> 00:57:27,243
That surprises you, hey?
1067
00:57:27,310 --> 00:57:29,078
Ho! Maybe just a little.
1068
00:57:29,145 --> 00:57:31,714
He had one
of the best farms.
1069
00:57:31,781 --> 00:57:33,183
And he was a hard worker.
1070
00:57:33,249 --> 00:57:35,051
And there where only two
people in the village with a
1071
00:57:35,118 --> 00:57:38,555
car, the doctor
and Oliva Dionne.
1072
00:57:38,621 --> 00:57:42,392
And you're the one who,
who caught him? Huh?
1073
00:57:42,458 --> 00:57:44,394
He caught me!
1074
00:57:44,460 --> 00:57:47,997
From the minute he saw me there
was no one else for him.
1075
00:57:48,431 --> 00:57:50,667
Tiens, vas jouer.
1076
00:57:51,568 --> 00:57:55,572
So my, my dream came true:
1077
00:57:55,638 --> 00:58:01,211
Ten kids and a good
man at my side.
1078
00:58:02,345 --> 00:58:05,682
A good man, Madame!
1079
00:58:05,748 --> 00:58:08,585
If you knew him before.
1080
00:58:08,651 --> 00:58:11,154
All this.
1081
00:58:13,857 --> 00:58:16,392
I hear you made fresh attempts
to get the quints back.
1082
00:58:16,459 --> 00:58:18,695
Is that true?
1083
00:58:18,761 --> 00:58:20,363
I never wanted them gone.
1084
00:58:20,430 --> 00:58:21,764
But how can you possibly...
1085
00:58:21,831 --> 00:58:23,099
You see my house?
1086
00:58:23,166 --> 00:58:24,467
Is it clean?
1087
00:58:24,534 --> 00:58:28,271
And my kids, do
they look unhappy?
1088
00:58:28,771 --> 00:58:31,174
So why are my girls
living across the street?
1089
00:58:31,241 --> 00:58:33,476
But how could you cope with
all your children and
1090
00:58:33,543 --> 00:58:34,811
the quints in this house?
1091
00:58:34,878 --> 00:58:36,579
It's not hard!
1092
00:58:36,646 --> 00:58:38,982
Not when you love kids!
1093
00:58:39,048 --> 00:58:40,683
Ask Madame Lebelle,
she has eighteen!
1094
00:58:40,750 --> 00:58:41,684
What?
1095
00:58:41,751 --> 00:58:43,586
Eighteen!
-Children?
1096
00:58:43,653 --> 00:58:45,188
Children, in a
house like this and...
1097
00:58:45,255 --> 00:58:47,557
And she cooks and cleans
for all of them and and....
1098
00:58:47,624 --> 00:58:49,893
She even runs a store.
1099
00:58:49,959 --> 00:58:52,829
And she's a
best-selling author.
1100
00:58:52,896 --> 00:58:56,099
And spends all her time
hunting for fertility stones.
1101
00:59:00,970 --> 00:59:05,141
[laughing]
1102
00:59:05,208 --> 00:59:07,110
Oh! Sorry.
1103
00:59:08,978 --> 00:59:11,080
Elzire why don't you
come and sit down?
1104
00:59:11,147 --> 00:59:14,050
Why don't we have
a good talk? Hmm?
1105
00:59:39,676 --> 00:59:42,545
You know what they're worth?
1106
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:44,480
The girls?
1107
00:59:44,547 --> 00:59:45,815
Do you know?
1108
00:59:45,882 --> 00:59:48,318
You couldn't even guess!
1109
00:59:50,820 --> 00:59:53,623
A million bucks!
1110
00:59:53,690 --> 00:59:55,258
That's their net worth!
1111
00:59:55,325 --> 00:59:58,361
A million bucks!
1112
00:59:58,428 --> 01:00:00,663
I have children that are
worth more than a million
1113
01:00:00,730 --> 01:00:03,266
dollars, and I can't
afford to buy new shoes
1114
01:00:03,333 --> 01:00:06,502
or cod liver oil for my kids!
1115
01:00:06,569 --> 01:00:09,839
And we have to
live like this?
1116
01:00:12,075 --> 01:00:15,812
[crying]
1117
01:00:19,549 --> 01:00:20,817
When was the last
time you had a new dress?
1118
01:00:20,883 --> 01:00:21,818
Hey?
When?
1119
01:00:21,884 --> 01:00:23,252
I don't need a new dress.
1120
01:00:23,319 --> 01:00:24,420
Well you're gonna get one.
1121
01:00:24,487 --> 01:00:26,356
And a fancy one!
1122
01:00:26,422 --> 01:00:28,658
And the kids are gonna
get new shoes and bikes and
1123
01:00:28,725 --> 01:00:31,995
toys, just like they
get across the street!
1124
01:00:32,061 --> 01:00:34,197
It's our money,
I want it!
1125
01:00:34,263 --> 01:00:36,299
And I want everyone to
know who's been stealing it!
1126
01:00:36,366 --> 01:00:38,301
It's not important Oliva.
1127
01:00:38,368 --> 01:00:42,171
Nothing's more important
than getting the girls!
1128
01:00:42,972 --> 01:00:44,774
Why don't you visit them?
1129
01:00:44,841 --> 01:00:47,010
They never let me in
just before a show!
1130
01:00:47,076 --> 01:00:49,278
Full visitation
right at any time.
1131
01:00:49,345 --> 01:00:52,081
You heard the
government man?
1132
01:00:52,515 --> 01:00:55,284
Go and find out
if he meant it.
1133
01:00:57,954 --> 01:01:00,189
Maman, did you
see my new dress?
1134
01:01:01,357 --> 01:01:03,493
Mine is yellow
like a buttercup.
1135
01:01:03,559 --> 01:01:07,063
Yes, you all look so pretty!
1136
01:01:07,130 --> 01:01:09,966
So pretty I
have to kiss you.
1137
01:01:10,033 --> 01:01:12,168
We're not allowed to
have kisses, maman.
1138
01:01:12,235 --> 01:01:15,371
Papa Dafoe says
it gives us germs.
1139
01:01:15,438 --> 01:01:16,439
Madame Dionne, I'm sorry.
1140
01:01:16,506 --> 01:01:18,207
We have to get the
girls ready for the show.
1141
01:01:18,274 --> 01:01:21,044
Nurse, she feels warm.
1142
01:01:23,579 --> 01:01:26,382
I'll get the doctor.
1143
01:01:28,618 --> 01:01:31,921
Pauvre p'tite, is
your throat sore?
1144
01:01:31,988 --> 01:01:33,656
It is?
1145
01:01:33,723 --> 01:01:36,392
And do you feel tired?
1146
01:01:37,060 --> 01:01:39,095
I can't wait to
have you home.
1147
01:01:39,862 --> 01:01:41,931
Mrs. Dionne?
1148
01:01:41,998 --> 01:01:42,932
Is something wrong?
1149
01:01:42,999 --> 01:01:45,268
She's sick.
1150
01:01:45,334 --> 01:01:47,136
I examined the
girls this morning!
1151
01:01:47,203 --> 01:01:48,438
She's hot!
1152
01:01:48,504 --> 01:01:49,906
Ha!
1153
01:01:50,206 --> 01:01:52,241
Let me see.
1154
01:01:52,308 --> 01:01:56,813
Alright! Émilie.
1155
01:01:57,814 --> 01:02:00,850
Hardly warm,
probably just a cold.
1156
01:02:00,917 --> 01:02:02,452
Children get
them all the time.
1157
01:02:02,518 --> 01:02:04,387
Take them all out.
1158
01:02:04,454 --> 01:02:06,789
The girls enjoy
their free play time.
1159
01:02:07,256 --> 01:02:09,158
Look, kids get
colds all the time?
1160
01:02:09,225 --> 01:02:12,061
Yes.
-You!
1161
01:02:12,128 --> 01:02:15,298
You've been keeping me
away for my girls for years!
1162
01:02:15,364 --> 01:02:16,899
Mrs. Dionne...
-Years!
1163
01:02:16,966 --> 01:02:18,367
Telling I'd give
them fevers and,
1164
01:02:18,434 --> 01:02:20,303
and sickness and germs!
1165
01:02:20,369 --> 01:02:21,971
Don't touch them,
don't kiss them!
1166
01:02:22,038 --> 01:02:22,972
Not in front of
the children...
1167
01:02:23,039 --> 01:02:25,475
And now you tell me
she can run around
1168
01:02:25,541 --> 01:02:27,343
outside with a cold because you
don't wanna stop the show!
1169
01:02:27,410 --> 01:02:28,544
Mrs. Dionne.
1170
01:02:28,611 --> 01:02:29,679
Come on.
1171
01:02:29,745 --> 01:02:31,047
Come.
1172
01:02:31,114 --> 01:02:33,249
Mrs. Dionne..
1173
01:02:33,483 --> 01:02:35,151
Now...
1174
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,223
Mrs. Dionne!
1175
01:02:50,366 --> 01:02:52,001
Hey!
Come on.
1176
01:02:55,771 --> 01:02:57,373
Come.
1177
01:02:57,707 --> 01:02:59,308
Come with me.
1178
01:02:59,375 --> 01:03:01,811
Viens avec maman.
1179
01:03:03,846 --> 01:03:06,616
Émilie...
1180
01:03:09,085 --> 01:03:11,287
Viens avec
maman, Émilie, viens.
1181
01:03:13,656 --> 01:03:15,458
Come on.
1182
01:03:19,695 --> 01:03:21,864
Émilie, come.
1183
01:03:21,931 --> 01:03:23,266
Come to papa Dafoe.
1184
01:03:23,332 --> 01:03:26,669
Come on Émilie, viens.
Viens avec maman, viens.
1185
01:03:29,572 --> 01:03:31,807
Come on Émilie, viens!
1186
01:03:31,874 --> 01:03:33,576
Come to papa Dafoe.
1187
01:03:33,643 --> 01:03:37,713
Come on, that's it come on.
1188
01:03:41,584 --> 01:03:42,518
That's it.
1189
01:03:42,585 --> 01:03:45,121
Yes. That's it. Okay.
1190
01:04:06,475 --> 01:04:07,944
There was
nothing I could do.
1191
01:04:08,010 --> 01:04:11,447
She came right to me, no.
no hesitation.
1192
01:04:11,514 --> 01:04:14,317
Get Helena on the phone,
she should know about this.
1193
01:04:14,383 --> 01:04:16,319
Thank you.
1194
01:04:17,253 --> 01:04:19,155
Poor little Émilie.
1195
01:04:19,222 --> 01:04:22,191
She was devastated.
1196
01:04:22,258 --> 01:04:24,860
Doctor Dafoe for Miss Reid.
1197
01:04:24,927 --> 01:04:25,861
[sigh]
1198
01:04:25,928 --> 01:04:27,863
These incidents
with the parents.
1199
01:04:27,930 --> 01:04:29,732
Yes, thank you.
1200
01:04:29,799 --> 01:04:31,500
She's just about
to go on the air.
1201
01:04:31,567 --> 01:04:33,502
Hmm.
1202
01:04:35,271 --> 01:04:36,872
I told you to stop it.
1203
01:04:36,939 --> 01:04:39,342
Why don't you read a book.
1204
01:04:39,875 --> 01:04:42,812
Radio: ...This Life We Live,
with miss Helena Reid.
1205
01:04:42,878 --> 01:04:45,982
I don't want to
listen to that.
1206
01:04:53,189 --> 01:04:54,924
My friends.
1207
01:04:54,991 --> 01:04:58,361
Tonight I bring you a new
chapter in the saga of the
1208
01:04:58,427 --> 01:05:01,030
Dionne Quintuplets.
1209
01:05:01,097 --> 01:05:04,834
And I warn you,
It will shock you.
1210
01:05:04,900 --> 01:05:09,372
It will anger you, and it
will irrevocably shatter
1211
01:05:09,438 --> 01:05:11,440
your illusions.
1212
01:05:11,507 --> 01:05:14,477
Tonight, I have invited a
world renowned psychologist
1213
01:05:14,543 --> 01:05:16,245
to join me.
1214
01:05:16,312 --> 01:05:18,714
This is a man whom one
speaks of in the same breath
1215
01:05:18,781 --> 01:05:20,650
as Sigmund Freud.
1216
01:05:20,716 --> 01:05:25,254
Ladies and gentlemen please
welcome Doctor Alfred Adler.
1217
01:05:29,258 --> 01:05:32,194
Doctor, I have asked you
to study the case of the
1218
01:05:32,261 --> 01:05:33,596
Dionne quintuplets.
1219
01:05:33,663 --> 01:05:36,198
Please tell us
your findings.
1220
01:05:36,465 --> 01:05:38,868
Thank you, Miss Reid.
1221
01:05:39,235 --> 01:05:41,437
The quintuplets live
like inmates of a modern
1222
01:05:41,504 --> 01:05:47,777
orphanage, they are suffering
from emotional starvation.
1223
01:05:47,843 --> 01:05:50,613
Living in a glass house
with the constant staring of
1224
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:56,218
crowds is not conducive to
normal human development.
1225
01:05:56,285 --> 01:06:00,723
More serious than this,
psychologically speaking,
1226
01:06:00,790 --> 01:06:03,693
is the separation
From their parents.
1227
01:06:03,759 --> 01:06:07,163
If this continues, I
anticipate serious
1228
01:06:07,229 --> 01:06:12,268
emotional disturbances
at some future time.
1229
01:06:12,335 --> 01:06:14,704
Thank you doctor.
1230
01:06:17,273 --> 01:06:19,141
[applause]
1231
01:06:19,208 --> 01:06:24,280
My friends, as much as it
pains me to admit this.
1232
01:06:26,349 --> 01:06:29,118
I must tell you that
I have been wrong.
1233
01:06:29,185 --> 01:06:31,954
Tragically wrong.
1234
01:06:32,021 --> 01:06:35,091
Like so many others, I have
been deceived into thinking
1235
01:06:35,157 --> 01:06:38,327
that doctor Alan Roy
Dafoe was a selfless,
1236
01:06:38,394 --> 01:06:41,464
humble man, whose entire
life has devoted
1237
01:06:41,530 --> 01:06:43,699
to the quintuplets.
1238
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:49,839
But, as we have seen from
the recent and deplorable
1239
01:06:49,905 --> 01:06:53,109
Circus Saints and
Sinners spectacle,
1240
01:06:53,175 --> 01:06:59,682
Doctor Dafoe is a man obsessed
with his own notoriety.
1241
01:06:59,749 --> 01:07:02,651
Today, he clings tenaciously
to the quintuplets,
1242
01:07:02,718 --> 01:07:07,823
For they are his guarantee of
continued fame and fortune.
1243
01:07:07,890 --> 01:07:12,027
And his grasp now threatens
to strangle the dear little
1244
01:07:12,094 --> 01:07:17,199
ones he was once
sworn to protect.
1245
01:07:17,266 --> 01:07:18,401
But what?
1246
01:07:18,467 --> 01:07:21,637
What, you
ask, of the parents?
1247
01:07:23,406 --> 01:07:28,644
My friends.
1248
01:07:28,711 --> 01:07:33,315
I have sat in
Elzire Dionne's kitchen,
1249
01:07:33,382 --> 01:07:39,655
and I have bathed in the
warmth and love of her home.
1250
01:07:39,922 --> 01:07:42,057
And I have seen the
other Dionne children,
1251
01:07:42,124 --> 01:07:45,161
fine, healthy
boys and girls.
1252
01:07:45,227 --> 01:07:48,597
Their very normalcy a
contrast to the pathetic
1253
01:07:48,664 --> 01:07:52,935
little trained
monkeys across the road.
1254
01:07:53,002 --> 01:07:57,339
My friends, Oliva and Elzire
Dionne have not now nor have
1255
01:07:57,406 --> 01:08:00,009
they ever been
greedy imbeciles that the
1256
01:08:00,075 --> 01:08:02,411
irresponsible and
ignorant press
1257
01:08:02,478 --> 01:08:04,513
have portrayed them to be.
1258
01:08:04,580 --> 01:08:08,551
And if, at one time, there
were sound medical reasons
1259
01:08:08,617 --> 01:08:11,053
to isolate the girls
from their family,
1260
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:15,491
those reasons
no longer exist.
1261
01:08:15,558 --> 01:08:18,828
And this very
night, my friends,
1262
01:08:18,894 --> 01:08:21,764
at this very hour,
1263
01:08:21,964 --> 01:08:26,268
five lonely little
girls lie in
1264
01:08:26,335 --> 01:08:31,006
their cots in a
sterile hospital ward.
1265
01:08:31,073 --> 01:08:36,278
And weep bitter tears for the
life they have never known.
1266
01:08:37,313 --> 01:08:42,384
Their little, girlish
voices whisper in the dark,
1267
01:08:42,451 --> 01:08:47,456
a plea we can not
continue to ignore.
1268
01:08:47,523 --> 01:08:50,226
Mama.
1269
01:08:50,292 --> 01:08:52,661
Papa.
1270
01:08:53,863 --> 01:08:55,664
Mama.
1271
01:08:55,731 --> 01:08:58,934
Papa...
1272
01:09:03,506 --> 01:09:09,311
[applause]
1273
01:09:21,624 --> 01:09:24,627
That was This Life We Live with
your host Miss Helena Reid.
1274
01:09:24,693 --> 01:09:30,900
Until next time, good
night and goodbye.
1275
01:09:32,167 --> 01:09:36,205
Leslie, It's doctor Dafoe.
1276
01:09:36,272 --> 01:09:38,541
I must speak to the premier.
1277
01:09:39,141 --> 01:09:40,709
I'm sorry doctor, but
mister Hepburn is tied-up
1278
01:09:40,776 --> 01:09:44,013
at the moment.
1279
01:09:51,453 --> 01:09:54,189
So let's hear your latest
report from Quintland.
1280
01:09:54,256 --> 01:09:58,527
Well, the latest report shows
a noticeable drop in tourism.
1281
01:09:58,594 --> 01:10:00,396
And it's not just
war jitters either.
1282
01:10:00,462 --> 01:10:02,731
There's a marked decline
in Interest in the quints.
1283
01:10:02,798 --> 01:10:04,433
Dionne quintuplet
doll sales are slipping;
1284
01:10:04,500 --> 01:10:07,369
revenues and
royalties are down.
1285
01:10:07,436 --> 01:10:10,239
The advertisers
are less keen.
1286
01:10:10,306 --> 01:10:12,875
They say the girls
are over-exposed.
1287
01:10:12,942 --> 01:10:15,945
Washed up at age six.
1288
01:10:17,279 --> 01:10:19,481
And here they are,
the royal couple,
1289
01:10:19,548 --> 01:10:21,984
Queen Elizabeth has long
expressed a desire to meet
1290
01:10:22,051 --> 01:10:26,021
the Dionne quintuplets and
her wish is a royal command.
1291
01:10:35,197 --> 01:10:37,132
Is everything satisfactory
monsieur Dionne?
1292
01:10:37,199 --> 01:10:38,133
Extremely.
1293
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:39,401
Tres bien.
1294
01:10:39,468 --> 01:10:40,469
Ah!
1295
01:10:40,536 --> 01:10:42,171
Now here is our list.
1296
01:10:42,237 --> 01:10:43,339
Monsieur Dionne
of course is here,
1297
01:10:43,405 --> 01:10:44,640
and the children are
sitting over there.
1298
01:10:44,707 --> 01:10:46,442
Thank you.
1299
01:10:52,681 --> 01:10:54,550
Let's go girls.
1300
01:11:23,679 --> 01:11:24,980
Ah!
Doctor!
1301
01:11:25,047 --> 01:11:26,915
Now the Dionnes will
meet king and queen first.
1302
01:11:26,982 --> 01:11:29,985
Your audience will
occur just after.
1303
01:11:30,986 --> 01:11:32,821
But I'm...
1304
01:11:33,856 --> 01:11:35,257
Whose request was this?
1305
01:11:35,324 --> 01:11:36,825
Doctor, I'm asking you to
accept this as a way of
1306
01:11:36,892 --> 01:11:40,095
dealing with a
difficult situation.
1307
01:11:40,162 --> 01:11:42,631
For sake of the girls.
1308
01:11:43,966 --> 01:11:49,705
Mister and misses
Dionne and their children.
1309
01:11:49,772 --> 01:11:52,141
I am sorry.
1310
01:11:52,841 --> 01:11:55,811
It gives me great pleasure
to announce the long-awaited
1311
01:11:55,878 --> 01:11:58,547
reunion of the quintuplets
with their parents,
1312
01:11:58,614 --> 01:12:00,382
brothers and sisters.
1313
01:12:00,449 --> 01:12:02,885
The guardianship bill which
made the Dionne quintuplets
1314
01:12:02,951 --> 01:12:06,255
wards of the crown
has been terminated,
1315
01:12:06,321 --> 01:12:07,990
effective immediately.
1316
01:12:08,057 --> 01:12:10,759
The guardianship bill which
proved so effective in the
1317
01:12:10,826 --> 01:12:12,995
early years of
the Quintuplets
1318
01:12:13,062 --> 01:12:16,398
has now been deemed
no longer necessary.
1319
01:12:16,465 --> 01:12:18,801
The Dionnes,
Mister and Mrs Dionne,
1320
01:12:18,867 --> 01:12:21,370
are excellent parents.
1321
01:12:21,437 --> 01:12:25,207
Oliva Dionne is a successful
farmer and businessman.
1322
01:12:25,274 --> 01:12:28,377
Mrs Elzire Dionne is
respected throughout the
1323
01:12:28,444 --> 01:12:32,514
community as a
devoted wife and mother.
1324
01:12:32,581 --> 01:12:36,218
The quintuplets will retire
from public life to lead a
1325
01:12:36,285 --> 01:12:38,721
normal life
with their family.
1326
01:12:38,787 --> 01:12:40,723
I wish of course
to publicly thank
1327
01:12:40,789 --> 01:12:43,192
Doctor Allan Roy Dafoe.
1328
01:12:43,258 --> 01:12:45,861
His great contribution
cannot be overlooked.
1329
01:12:45,928 --> 01:12:48,931
Doctor Dafoe has had to
resign as guardian and
1330
01:12:48,997 --> 01:12:53,635
physician to the quintuplets
due to ill health.
1331
01:12:53,702 --> 01:12:56,538
We wish him a very
speedy recovery.
1332
01:12:56,905 --> 01:12:58,640
Don't be afraid.
1333
01:13:00,008 --> 01:13:02,377
Go on, be firm...
1334
01:13:13,989 --> 01:13:16,992
Congratulations
Oliva, Elzire.
1335
01:13:17,059 --> 01:13:18,861
I, I always said what
an injustice it was,
1336
01:13:18,927 --> 01:13:22,231
you being, being
deprived of your kids.
1337
01:13:22,297 --> 01:13:25,934
Finally our
prayers been answered.
1338
01:13:37,946 --> 01:13:40,315
And you Clovis?
1339
01:13:40,783 --> 01:13:45,687
You were praying for
us all this time too?
1340
01:13:46,622 --> 01:13:48,991
I, huh.
1341
01:13:49,725 --> 01:13:53,228
I always said you
were good parents.
1342
01:13:53,295 --> 01:13:56,231
Even whe all the reporters
were saying different.
1343
01:13:57,199 --> 01:13:58,934
I stuck up for you.
1344
01:13:59,001 --> 01:14:01,103
It's terrible what gets
written in the papers.
1345
01:14:01,170 --> 01:14:04,306
Those people should
be held responsible.
1346
01:14:04,373 --> 01:14:06,508
There should be a law.
1347
01:14:06,575 --> 01:14:09,578
Oliva, now that
you're in charge.
1348
01:14:09,645 --> 01:14:14,917
I just want you to know you
have our full cooperation.
1349
01:14:15,284 --> 01:14:18,353
Huh?
What do you mean?
1350
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:23,125
We were thinking.
1351
01:14:24,793 --> 01:14:28,197
Peoples still want
to see the girls.
1352
01:14:28,864 --> 01:14:32,301
Even if Dafoe's gone,
that doesn't have to change.
1353
01:14:32,367 --> 01:14:34,036
We're willing, that's all!
1354
01:14:34,102 --> 01:14:37,172
We're willing to
help you run the place.
1355
01:14:37,239 --> 01:14:38,340
If you like.
1356
01:14:38,407 --> 01:14:40,742
Madame Legros here,
had a wonderful idea.
1357
01:14:40,809 --> 01:14:43,846
Vas-y, vas-y, vas-y!
Vas-y! Vas-y!
1358
01:14:44,313 --> 01:14:46,982
Well the weather has been
so bad and so much rain.
1359
01:14:47,049 --> 01:14:50,319
They had to
cancel the shows.
1360
01:14:50,385 --> 01:14:53,555
Why can't the girls play
outside when it rains?
1361
01:14:53,622 --> 01:14:56,024
You could dress 'em
up in raincoats...
1362
01:14:56,091 --> 01:14:57,893
They'd still look cute.
1363
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:58,994
[laughing]
1364
01:14:59,061 --> 01:15:01,430
Oliva, you're not
going to listen them.
1365
01:15:06,068 --> 01:15:08,704
Elzire, what do you think ?
1366
01:15:11,874 --> 01:15:14,176
I'm grateful, Martin.
1367
01:15:14,243 --> 01:15:16,645
So is Elzire!
1368
01:15:17,145 --> 01:15:18,313
I hope you know it.
1369
01:15:18,380 --> 01:15:20,749
Yeah. And I hope you're
expecting my bill.
1370
01:15:20,816 --> 01:15:22,084
Now that you're a rich man.
1371
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:23,552
[laughing]
1372
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:26,121
But this isn't
the end, Oliva?
1373
01:15:26,188 --> 01:15:29,725
Think of what the girl could do
for French-language rights.
1374
01:15:29,791 --> 01:15:31,159
They can make public
appearances to lobby
1375
01:15:31,226 --> 01:15:32,494
for French school.
1376
01:15:32,561 --> 01:15:33,495
I don't know?
1377
01:15:33,562 --> 01:15:35,497
Sounds good but, hum.
1378
01:15:35,564 --> 01:15:37,032
Can you afford them?
1379
01:15:37,099 --> 01:15:40,002
The Dionne quintuplets
don't come cheap.
1380
01:15:40,068 --> 01:15:42,604
Ha! Ha!
Yeah!
1381
01:16:48,370 --> 01:16:50,038
Marie.
1382
01:17:12,594 --> 01:17:13,829
I love you.
1383
01:18:00,042 --> 01:18:02,844
Why are you sad?
1384
01:18:04,046 --> 01:18:06,948
Because I
1385
01:18:07,315 --> 01:18:10,952
I have to leave you,
my dear ones.
1386
01:18:11,386 --> 01:18:12,788
You have to leave?
1387
01:18:12,854 --> 01:18:15,857
For a while.
1388
01:18:15,924 --> 01:18:18,860
Where?
1389
01:18:22,030 --> 01:18:26,435
A kiss for papa Dafoe?
1390
01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:44,453
You.
1391
01:18:45,620 --> 01:18:47,022
You were so.
1392
01:18:47,089 --> 01:18:50,559
So tiny.
1393
01:18:53,395 --> 01:18:57,966
I could hold you in
the palm of my hand.
1394
01:19:14,015 --> 01:19:17,586
Take good care of them.
1395
01:19:40,008 --> 01:19:42,277
Are we going to
have to move?
1396
01:19:42,344 --> 01:19:44,646
As soon as the
new house is built.
1397
01:19:45,447 --> 01:19:46,381
Why?
1398
01:19:46,448 --> 01:19:48,350
Why do we have to move?
1399
01:19:48,416 --> 01:19:50,118
Because of the quints!
1400
01:19:50,185 --> 01:19:52,120
Ernest, they have names.
1401
01:19:52,354 --> 01:19:54,289
There's too
many to remember.
1402
01:19:54,356 --> 01:19:56,258
Will my friends still be
able to come or will the
1403
01:19:56,324 --> 01:19:57,659
guards chase them away?
1404
01:19:57,726 --> 01:19:58,894
Will people stare at us?
1405
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:00,295
I don't want to
be stared at!
1406
01:20:00,362 --> 01:20:02,531
I don't want to be
stared at either.
1407
01:20:02,597 --> 01:20:04,866
Hey!
That's enough!
1408
01:20:04,933 --> 01:20:07,335
I don't want to hear
any more complaints!
1409
01:20:08,537 --> 01:20:10,438
Let's go.
1410
01:20:14,809 --> 01:20:19,147
[laughing]
1411
01:20:19,414 --> 01:20:20,348
Mama!
1412
01:20:20,415 --> 01:20:22,717
Hi girls!
1413
01:20:23,418 --> 01:20:24,753
Hello!
1414
01:20:24,819 --> 01:20:26,188
There's people outside
but they're not
1415
01:20:26,254 --> 01:20:29,191
going in the tunnel.
1416
01:20:33,728 --> 01:20:37,299
Because there won't be a
viewing today, Yvonne.
1417
01:20:39,968 --> 01:20:43,305
There won't be any viewings.
1418
01:20:45,707 --> 01:20:47,108
Not ever again.
1419
01:20:47,175 --> 01:20:48,877
You gonna have enough
room in that house for
1420
01:20:48,944 --> 01:20:49,945
eleven kids, Mr. Dionne?
1421
01:20:50,011 --> 01:20:52,447
The new house will be
built in that field.
1422
01:20:53,114 --> 01:20:56,251
There'll be ten
bedrooms, five bathrooms,
1423
01:20:56,318 --> 01:20:59,921
maid rooms, a music room.
1424
01:21:00,355 --> 01:21:04,226
One of the reception rooms will
be done entirely in leather.
1425
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:08,830
And I'll have an office
with a marble fireplace
1426
01:21:08,897 --> 01:21:10,398
and a chandelier.
1427
01:21:10,465 --> 01:21:13,168
A crystal chandelier.
1428
01:21:13,235 --> 01:21:15,971
That's where I'll conduct

And all around the perimeter
we'll have a fence
1430
01:21:19,641 --> 01:21:22,110
with a security gate.
1431
01:21:23,178 --> 01:21:25,580
You think that'll be
necessary Mr. Dionne?
1432
01:21:27,315 --> 01:21:28,717
The Dionne quintuplets
will always be
1433
01:21:28,783 --> 01:21:31,219
of interest to people.
1434
01:21:31,286 --> 01:21:34,022
They'll have to be
protected, like always.
1435
01:21:40,962 --> 01:21:43,965
There's no show today?
1436

Today is a very special day.

Today you're coming home.
1438
01:21:56,044 --> 01:21:58,880
But we're already home.
1439
01:22:01,650 --> 01:22:07,789
Girls, this is the
nursery, the hospital.
1440
01:22:07,856 --> 01:22:11,126
Where I'm taking you
is your real home.
1441
01:22:11,192 --> 01:22:13,461
Where you'll be living
with maman and papa.
1442
01:22:13,528 --> 01:22:16,531
Papa Dafoe?
1443
01:22:16,898 --> 01:22:21,936
Yvonne, papa Dafoe
wasn't your real papa.
1444
01:22:22,003 --> 01:22:23,238
He was your doctor.
1445
01:22:23,305 --> 01:22:27,342
Your real papa and me, we want
you to come home with us.
1446
01:22:27,409 --> 01:22:30,512
We're gonna be a
family, all of us together.
1447
01:22:30,912 --> 01:22:32,480
Where is papa Dafoe?
1448
01:22:32,547 --> 01:22:35,016
Yeah where?
1449
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,456

You're gonna be happy, okay?
1454
01:22:48,763 --> 01:22:51,633
We'll all be together.

Come, shhh.
1456
01:22:53,935 --> 01:22:57,339
Did you know that Dafoe
had been hospitalized?
1457
01:22:57,672 --> 01:23:01,276
Mrs. Dionne and I wish
him a speedy recovery.
1458
01:23:01,343 --> 01:23:05,780
You know, there was never
any animosity between us.
1459
01:23:05,847 --> 01:23:09,718
It's just something that
was made up by the press.
1460
01:23:17,425 --> 01:23:20,428
Stand back,
stand back please.
1461
01:23:42,584 --> 01:23:46,588
And so ends the saga of
the Dionne quintuplets.
1462

Reunited in the
bosom of their family.
1463

one ends happily ever after.

What if it's too late?

What if they've been
away from us too long?

I told you it was
going to take time.
1495

They need to get to know us.
1496
01:26:49,804 --> 01:26:54,876

01:36:43,831 --> 01:36:45,299
like I told you.
1610
01:36:45,366 --> 01:36:46,700
Did you get her a nurse?
1611
01:36:46,767 --> 01:36:48,135
We couldn't afford
a nurse.
1612
01:36:48,202 --> 01:36:49,537
But our neighbour,
madame Lebel, she -
1613
01:36:49,603 --> 01:36:50,538
Ah!
You people.
1614
01:36:50,604 --> 01:36:52,873
You refuse to follow
advise when it's given you.
1615
01:36:52,940 --> 01:36:55,910
And then in a crisis, you come
running to me at all hours.
1616
01:36:55,976 --> 01:36:56,911
My bag?
1617
01:36:56,977 --> 01:36:58,412
What did you do with my bag?
1618
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:00,014
Please hurry, it's very bad.
1619
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:01,081
The dinner'll spoil.
1620
01:37:01,148 --> 01:37:02,116
And I'm not
starting another one.
1621
01:37:02,183 --> 01:37:03,117
Never mind.
1622
01:37:03,184 --> 01:37:05,352
I'm a housekeeper.
Not a short order cook.
1623
01:37:05,419 --> 01:37:06,620
Never mind, Mrs. Henderson,
another evening without
1624
01:37:06,687 --> 01:37:08,389
supper won't be
the death of me.
1625
01:37:08,455 --> 01:37:10,324
It's not your health
I was worried about.
1626
01:37:10,391 --> 01:37:12,159
Don't forget to look
in on Mrs. Lavoie.
1627
01:37:12,226 --> 01:37:13,894
She's due today.
1628
01:37:14,128 --> 01:37:16,030
If she follows
the schedules.
1629
01:37:17,364 --> 01:37:18,832
Push!
1630
01:37:18,899 --> 01:37:19,934
Uhhh!
1631
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:21,502
Push now!
1632
01:37:21,569 --> 01:37:22,636
Huh!
1633
01:37:22,703 --> 01:37:24,238
One more. One more.
1634
01:37:25,873 --> 01:37:27,474
Yes!
1635
01:37:27,541 --> 01:37:29,510
Ahh!
1636
01:37:29,577 --> 01:37:31,812
Push.
1637
01:37:31,879 --> 01:37:32,913
One more.
1638
01:37:32,980 --> 01:37:34,381
Vas-y, vas-y, push!
1639
01:37:34,982 --> 01:37:36,317
Push!
1640
01:37:36,383 --> 01:37:38,519
That's it push, yes!
1641
01:37:38,586 --> 01:37:40,187
Push!
1642
01:37:51,899 --> 01:37:53,334
Mon doux seigneur!
1643
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:55,002
The scissors.
1644
01:38:09,650 --> 01:38:11,485
It's so tiny!
1645
01:38:13,020 --> 01:38:15,522
It's alive.
1646
01:38:17,224 --> 01:38:18,158
It's so tiny!
1647
01:38:18,225 --> 01:38:19,159
Oh!
1648
01:38:19,226 --> 01:38:21,061
Look at her!
1649
01:38:26,734 --> 01:38:28,502
[breathing heavily]
1650
01:38:28,569 --> 01:38:30,404
Another one!
1651
01:38:30,471 --> 01:38:31,772
Another one is
coming, go get more cloths!
1652
01:38:31,839 --> 01:38:32,773
Je vous salue marie
pleine de grace
1653
01:38:32,840 --> 01:38:34,708
le seigneur est avec vous.
1654
01:38:34,775 --> 01:38:35,976
Hurry!
1655
01:38:36,043 --> 01:38:38,412
One more!
1656
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:40,414
Ahhh!
1657
01:38:40,481 --> 01:38:43,651
Okay.
One more push!
1658
01:38:43,717 --> 01:38:45,219
Take a deep breath.
1659
01:38:45,286 --> 01:38:46,720
Yes.
1660
01:38:46,787 --> 01:38:47,721
C'est ça, that's it!
1661
01:38:47,788 --> 01:38:49,089
Push! Push!
1662
01:38:49,156 --> 01:38:50,224
Push!
1663
01:38:50,291 --> 01:38:52,026
Yes push!
1664
01:38:52,092 --> 01:38:53,761
Yes one more!
1665
01:38:53,827 --> 01:38:56,597
Yes, yes Madame Lebel!
1666
01:38:56,664 --> 01:38:57,598
Excuse me.
1667
01:38:57,665 --> 01:39:01,068
Push!
Push!
1668
01:39:01,268 --> 01:39:02,603
[baby crying]
1669
01:39:02,670 --> 01:39:05,005
Madame Lebel, hurry!
1670
01:39:05,072 --> 01:39:07,041
Scissors!
1671
01:39:13,981 --> 01:39:15,816
Misses Dionne?
1672
01:39:15,883 --> 01:39:17,484
It's Dr. Dafoe.
1673
01:39:17,551 --> 01:39:19,219
Mrs Dionne.
1674
01:39:19,987 --> 01:39:22,189
Mrs Dionne?
1675
01:39:24,458 --> 01:39:25,392
Ahh!
1676
01:39:25,459 --> 01:39:27,528
She's going to
have a third one!
1677
01:39:27,594 --> 01:39:29,363
Three?!
1678
01:39:31,031 --> 01:39:33,467
Boil water, heat the oven.
1679
01:39:33,534 --> 01:39:35,469
Doctor, it's already done.
1680
01:39:36,370 --> 01:39:39,173
Mister Dionne,
out of the room.
1681
01:39:46,980 --> 01:39:49,650
Alright, that's it.
1682
01:39:51,185 --> 01:39:53,620
Come on now!
1683
01:39:58,225 --> 01:40:00,894
[baby crying]
[heavy breathing]
1684
01:40:01,228 --> 01:40:03,530
Another one!
1685
01:40:04,898 --> 01:40:06,333
Courage, ma petite!
1686
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:07,534
That's it!
1687
01:40:07,601 --> 01:40:08,969
Coming!
1688
01:40:13,340 --> 01:40:16,076
Doctor, she's not breathing.
1689
01:40:18,979 --> 01:40:22,583
Nurse, cut!
1690
01:40:35,729 --> 01:40:37,064
Come on little one.
1691
01:40:43,303 --> 01:40:44,371
Okay.
1692
01:40:46,206 --> 01:40:47,674
Yes.
1693
01:40:47,741 --> 01:40:50,244
[baby crying]
1694
01:40:50,310 --> 01:40:51,812
Okay.
1695
01:40:52,346 --> 01:40:53,747
Ahh! Ah!
1696
01:40:53,814 --> 01:40:54,848
Another one?!
1697
01:40:54,915 --> 01:40:55,949
Seigneur, another one!
1698
01:40:56,016 --> 01:40:58,252
Push, Mrs. Dionne!
1699
01:40:58,318 --> 01:40:59,953
Push!
1700
01:41:00,020 --> 01:41:01,622
Push Mrs. Dionne!
1701
01:41:01,688 --> 01:41:04,992
Mrs. Dionne?
Can you hear me!?
1702
01:41:05,058 --> 01:41:05,993
Ahhh!
-Pauvre petite. Courage.
1703
01:41:06,059 --> 01:41:06,994
Ah!
1704
01:41:07,060 --> 01:41:09,496
Push!!!!
Harder now!!!
1705
01:41:09,563 --> 01:41:11,131
Yes, c'est ça, that's it.
1706
01:41:11,198 --> 01:41:12,232
C'est ça, c'est ça!!!!
1707
01:41:12,299 --> 01:41:13,233
Alright!!!!
1708
01:41:13,300 --> 01:41:14,935
Come on!!!!
1709
01:41:15,769 --> 01:41:17,171
That's it.
1710
01:41:25,412 --> 01:41:26,847
Docteur!
1711
01:41:26,914 --> 01:41:29,016
Her fingers are
turning blue!
1712
01:41:29,483 --> 01:41:31,485
Wrap her in a blanket.
1713
01:41:32,519 --> 01:41:34,655
Bring me the vial.
1714
01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:48,435
What is it?
1715
01:41:48,769 --> 01:41:51,038
She's cold as ice!
1716
01:41:53,540 --> 01:41:55,976
She gonna die?
1717
01:41:56,543 --> 01:41:58,912
Not if I can help it.
1718
01:42:00,781 --> 01:42:02,249
Get the priest, Oliva.
1719
01:42:02,316 --> 01:42:05,018
Get the priest!
1720
01:42:17,498 --> 01:42:20,501
Oh!
Please god!
1721
01:42:26,473 --> 01:42:33,547
Per istam sanctam unctionem, et
suam pissimam misericordiam...
1722
01:42:44,758 --> 01:42:46,693
Pater noster.
1723
01:43:01,608 --> 01:43:03,043
Doctor?
1724
01:43:04,444 --> 01:43:06,380
Elzire?
1725
01:43:06,713 --> 01:43:09,816
There's nothing
more I can do for her.
1726
01:43:10,651 --> 01:43:13,387
But I believe she will live.
1727
01:43:15,022 --> 01:43:16,456
Thank you doctor.
1728
01:43:16,523 --> 01:43:20,527
They're five in
all, all girls.
1729
01:43:24,731 --> 01:43:26,733
Five.
1730
01:43:27,334 --> 01:43:30,938
I'm sorry Mr. Dionne, but
don't hold out any hope.
1731
01:43:31,572 --> 01:43:33,073
Even if there were
a hospital nearby
1732
01:43:33,140 --> 01:43:35,642
they'd never make it.
1733
01:43:35,709 --> 01:43:37,477
They only weigh
about two pounds each.
1734
01:43:37,544 --> 01:43:41,815
I, I have never seen
an infant so small.
1735
01:43:42,449 --> 01:43:44,685
Extraordinary.
1736
01:43:44,751 --> 01:43:46,420
But this.
1737
01:43:48,622 --> 01:43:50,791
It's a miracle?
1738
01:43:54,261 --> 01:43:58,565
It will be a
miracle, if they live.
1739
01:44:49,850 --> 01:44:52,152
I thought I'd lost you.
1740
01:44:59,893 --> 01:45:02,629
I wanna see them.
1741
01:45:02,829 --> 01:45:04,631
The doctor said -
1742
01:45:04,698 --> 01:45:06,366
What?
1743
01:45:06,633 --> 01:45:09,369
He said they're
not strong enough.
1744
01:45:14,107 --> 01:45:17,010
I wanna see my
babies, Oliva.
1745
01:45:17,878 --> 01:45:19,780
I wanna see them.
1746
01:45:43,737 --> 01:45:45,238
Ha!
1747
01:45:45,305 --> 01:45:47,307
They're so small.
1748
01:45:48,008 --> 01:45:50,444
My little girls.
1749
01:45:54,414 --> 01:46:00,087
One, two, three.
-What comes after three?
1750
01:46:00,153 --> 01:46:02,355
Hey! Les enfants,
don't get too close.
1751
01:46:18,371 --> 01:46:20,240
They're alive!
1752
01:46:20,307 --> 01:46:21,875
All of them!
1753
01:46:21,942 --> 01:46:24,077
They're all alive!
1754
01:46:24,945 --> 01:46:26,713
I'll go get Dr. Dafoe.
1755
01:46:31,351 --> 01:46:34,221
Be nice to your mother.
1756
01:46:43,830 --> 01:46:45,432
Elzire, she gave
birth last night!
1757
01:46:45,499 --> 01:46:47,033
Ah!
That's nice!
1758
01:46:47,100 --> 01:46:48,769
Five babies, Clovis.
1759
01:46:48,835 --> 01:46:50,704
Five all in one night.
1760
01:46:50,771 --> 01:46:52,773
Yeah sure, and I am
the king of England.
1761
01:46:52,839 --> 01:46:54,908
Hey! You don't believe me,
well go and see for yourself.
1762
01:46:54,975 --> 01:46:55,976
Dafoe gave up on them.
1763
01:46:56,042 --> 01:46:57,244
Said they were gonna die.
1764
01:46:57,310 --> 01:47:00,547
But they're pink and
breathing and alive!!
1765
01:47:23,003 --> 01:47:25,639
[phone rings]
1766
01:47:25,705 --> 01:47:29,009
North Bay
Journal, Mel Kates here.
1767
01:47:29,075 --> 01:47:31,511
Uh?
What?
1768
01:47:32,012 --> 01:47:35,081
So Oliva Dionne's
wife had five babies.
1769
01:47:35,148 --> 01:47:38,351
Well so what, my
landlady's got nine.
1770
01:47:39,953 --> 01:47:41,354
All five in one night?
1771
01:47:41,421 --> 01:47:42,422
That's right!
1772
01:47:42,489 --> 01:47:43,824
Five in one night!!
1773
01:47:43,890 --> 01:47:48,762
Now, now would the birth
notice for five babies cost
1774
01:47:48,829 --> 01:47:50,230
the same as for one?
1775
01:47:50,297 --> 01:47:52,365
Or five times as much?
1776
01:47:52,699 --> 01:47:55,101
And, and are you still
giving out free baby gifts?
1777
01:47:55,168 --> 01:47:56,203
Free gifts!?
1778
01:47:56,269 --> 01:47:57,938
There's a depression
going on here pal.
1779
01:47:58,004 --> 01:47:59,973
You on planet earth?
1780
01:48:07,547 --> 01:48:10,851
Clovis Dionne, don't tell me
you're so broke you have to
1781
01:48:10,917 --> 01:48:12,953
try and get free baby gifts.
1782
01:48:13,019 --> 01:48:14,521
And with a crazy
story like that!
1783
01:48:14,588 --> 01:48:16,323
[laughing]
1784
01:48:16,389 --> 01:48:17,791
It's the truth!
1785
01:48:17,858 --> 01:48:19,326
I saw them.
1786
01:48:19,392 --> 01:48:20,660
With my own eyes!
1787
01:48:20,727 --> 01:48:22,429
Five little baby girls.
1788
01:48:22,495 --> 01:48:25,665
In a basket in, in the oven.
1789
01:48:25,866 --> 01:48:27,834
Five babies.
1790
01:48:27,901 --> 01:48:31,037
That must be some big gun
Oliva has if he can shoot
1791
01:48:31,104 --> 01:48:32,973
five rounds with it!
1792
01:48:33,039 --> 01:48:35,742
[laughing]
1793
01:48:38,111 --> 01:48:39,846
They fooled
you, hey doctor?
1794
01:48:39,913 --> 01:48:41,781
They're fighters,
my little girls.
1795
01:48:41,848 --> 01:48:43,950
We'll have to make plans.
1796
01:48:44,017 --> 01:48:46,753
Plans for their survival.
1797
01:48:46,820 --> 01:48:48,188
They might just
have a chance.
1798
01:48:48,255 --> 01:48:50,223
A slim one.
1799
01:48:50,290 --> 01:48:51,892
But still.
1800
01:48:51,958 --> 01:48:53,326
We're going to
need supplies.
1801
01:48:53,393 --> 01:48:55,061
Breast milk to start with.
1802
01:48:55,128 --> 01:48:57,664
Mrs Dionne will never
have enough for five.
1803
01:48:57,731 --> 01:48:59,232
And flannel for
diapers, oil,
1804
01:48:59,299 --> 01:49:00,467
rubbing alcohol.
1805
01:49:00,533 --> 01:49:01,768
Incubators.
1806
01:49:01,835 --> 01:49:03,103
The old-fashioned kind.
1807
01:49:03,169 --> 01:49:04,204
And a nurse.
1808
01:49:04,271 --> 01:49:05,505
A team of nurses.
1809
01:49:05,572 --> 01:49:06,506
Nurses?
1810
01:49:06,573 --> 01:49:07,874
Oh don't worry, I
know, I know you.
1811
01:49:07,941 --> 01:49:10,010
Can we see them?
1812
01:49:10,076 --> 01:49:11,177
Get away, get away!
1813
01:49:11,244 --> 01:49:12,178
Mister Dionne, get the
children out of here,
1814
01:49:12,245 --> 01:49:13,346
come on now!
1815
01:49:13,413 --> 01:49:15,649
They musn't be
allowed near the babies.
1816
01:49:15,715 --> 01:49:18,251
Oliva, I'll get someone to
take care of the little ones.
1817
01:49:18,318 --> 01:49:21,321
Keep the babies warm, oh, and
don't let anyone touch them!
1818
01:49:25,425 --> 01:49:27,227
Anyone!
1819
01:49:34,801 --> 01:49:37,437
Oh! Oh!
1820
01:49:52,953 --> 01:49:54,521
Gotta be desperate.
1821
01:49:54,587 --> 01:49:56,356
We are.
1822
01:49:56,790 --> 01:49:58,658
Five babies.
1823
01:49:59,125 --> 01:50:01,061
Sure he wasn't
talking about his pig?
1824
01:50:01,127 --> 01:50:02,829
[laughing]
1825
01:50:08,335 --> 01:50:10,403
Imagine, raising kids
on a dump like this?
1826
01:50:10,470 --> 01:50:12,872
For your average Frenchie,
this dump is a palace.
1827
01:50:24,651 --> 01:50:26,286
Hello?
1828
01:50:27,854 --> 01:50:30,256
Hello?
1829
01:50:47,607 --> 01:50:50,076
Hey!
Come here!
1830
01:50:54,914 --> 01:50:56,816
No one will
ever believe this.
1831
01:50:56,883 --> 01:50:59,285
Not without pictures.
1832
01:51:06,826 --> 01:51:08,261
Hold it!
1833
01:51:10,096 --> 01:51:11,965
The mother.
1834
01:51:33,686 --> 01:51:35,922
Ahhh!
I can't see them.
1835
01:52:02,248 --> 01:52:03,616
[babies crying]
1836
01:52:03,683 --> 01:52:04,617
North Bay Journal, ma'am.
Sorry to bother you.
1837
01:52:04,684 --> 01:52:05,618
This'll just take a minute.
1838
01:52:05,685 --> 01:52:09,289
Oliva! This will make the
front page for sure.
1839
01:52:09,355 --> 01:52:10,723
Sir, you must be the father!
1840
01:52:10,790 --> 01:52:13,259
How'd you like to come and sit
beside your wife for a picture?
1841
01:52:13,326 --> 01:52:14,260
Get out!
1842
01:52:14,327 --> 01:52:16,162
Get out!
1843
01:52:16,229 --> 01:52:17,831
You could have killed them!
1844
01:52:17,897 --> 01:52:18,798
Is it true Oliva?
1845
01:52:18,865 --> 01:52:19,799
Really true?
1846
01:52:19,866 --> 01:52:21,701
Five babies!
1847
01:52:23,436 --> 01:52:24,971
I saw them with my own eyes.
1848
01:52:25,038 --> 01:52:26,739
It's gonna make the
front page everywhere.
1849
01:52:26,806 --> 01:52:28,641
The whole world's gonna
wanna to know about this.
1850
01:52:28,708 --> 01:52:31,711
The whole world!
1851
01:52:37,817 --> 01:52:41,254
Mama.
1852
01:52:41,321 --> 01:52:46,025
The faint cry, no louder than
a whisper is heard by no one.
1853
01:52:46,559 --> 01:52:48,595
Not by the six
police officers,
1854
01:52:48,661 --> 01:52:52,632
nor the ten firemen, nor the
dozens of anxious searchers.
1855
01:52:52,699 --> 01:52:55,768
The boy is lost,
given up for dead.
1856
01:52:55,835 --> 01:52:58,171
The men turn to the
distraught mother and tell
1857
01:52:58,238 --> 01:53:03,243
her it is time
to morn her son.
1858
01:53:03,543 --> 01:53:05,678
Ahh!
1859
01:53:05,745 --> 01:53:07,647
Faye Willis has a
mother's heart,
1860
01:53:07,714 --> 01:53:09,782
she has a mother's instinct.
1861
01:53:09,849 --> 01:53:14,754
And Faye Willis
knows her son is alive!
1862
01:53:15,488 --> 01:53:17,090
Ahhh!
1863
01:53:17,157 --> 01:53:18,491
In the well she cries!
1864
01:53:18,558 --> 01:53:21,094
My boy is in the well!
1865
01:53:21,161 --> 01:53:24,497
Her cry has barely ended
when big Jim steps forward,
1866
01:53:24,564 --> 01:53:30,837
ties a rope around his waist and
begins the long climb down.
1867
01:53:33,506 --> 01:53:38,912
Inch by inch into the
murky treacherous depths.
1868
01:53:38,978 --> 01:53:42,515
Until twenty feet
below, he sees little Bobby,
1869
01:53:42,582 --> 01:53:45,618
terrified, sobbing,
clinging precariously
1870
01:53:45,685 --> 01:53:48,121
to a ledge of wet rock.
1871
01:53:48,188 --> 01:53:51,224
Little Bobby looks
up, he sees big Jim,
1872
01:53:51,291 --> 01:53:54,227
reaches out to him.
1873
01:53:54,294 --> 01:53:55,995
And slips!
1874
01:53:56,062 --> 01:53:57,130
Ahhhhhhhh!
1875
01:53:57,197 --> 01:53:58,531
Big Jim risking
his own life,
1876
01:53:58,598 --> 01:54:00,133
reaches out,
grabs for the boy,
1877
01:54:00,200 --> 01:54:01,768
but misses!
1878
01:54:01,834 --> 01:54:02,835
Ahhh!
1879
01:54:02,902 --> 01:54:06,372
Then, at the last
possible instant,
1880
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:09,242
he catches the tiny hand.
1881
01:54:09,309 --> 01:54:11,010
Ahhh!
1882
01:54:11,077 --> 01:54:15,582
Little Bobby is safe, restored
to his mother's arms.
1883
01:54:15,648 --> 01:54:18,518
Saved not only by big Jim's
bravery but by a mother's
1884
01:54:18,585 --> 01:54:24,057
instinct and and
a mother's heart.
1885
01:54:26,292 --> 01:54:27,493
Helena Reid,
ladies and gentlemen,
1886
01:54:27,560 --> 01:54:31,197
with another true life
story for This Life We Live.
1887
01:54:31,431 --> 01:54:33,399
Tune in next week when
Helena Reid once again
1888
01:54:33,466 --> 01:54:37,804
discovers the stories that
melt the heart of America.
1889
01:54:43,343 --> 01:54:45,278
A woman with a rare skin
disease overcomes town
1890
01:54:45,345 --> 01:54:47,380
prejudice to
become librarian.
1891
01:54:47,447 --> 01:54:49,882
No.
No more diseases!
1892
01:54:49,949 --> 01:54:53,253
A farm mother gives birth to
five baby girls up in Canada.
1893
01:54:53,319 --> 01:54:54,721
Nobody cares what
happens in Canada.
1894
01:54:54,787 --> 01:54:57,457
A man loses both his arms
with a threshing machine and
1895
01:54:57,523 --> 01:54:59,592
learns to paint by holding
a brush in his mouth.
1896
01:54:59,659 --> 01:55:01,160
I don't care where
he holds his brush.
1897
01:55:01,227 --> 01:55:02,495
What's the angle?
1898
01:55:02,562 --> 01:55:04,464
The Helena Reid angle.
1899
01:55:04,530 --> 01:55:06,165
Give me innocence,
give me laughter,
1900
01:55:06,232 --> 01:55:07,600
give me tears!
1901
01:55:07,667 --> 01:55:08,901
Shirley temple!
1902
01:55:08,968 --> 01:55:10,903
Give me a break!
1903
01:55:11,404 --> 01:55:13,539
How many times do I
have to tell you two.
1904
01:55:13,606 --> 01:55:14,974
What this country is
going through isn't just an
1905
01:55:15,041 --> 01:55:17,410
economic depression, it's
an emotional depression.
1906
01:55:17,477 --> 01:55:19,045
People haven't
just lost their jobs,
1907
01:55:19,112 --> 01:55:20,713
they've lost their hope.
1908
01:55:20,780 --> 01:55:23,249
What they need is something
to restore their faith!
1909
01:55:23,316 --> 01:55:24,751
Their sense that there's
something out there that's
1910
01:55:24,817 --> 01:55:26,252
bigger than they are!
1911
01:55:26,319 --> 01:55:27,253
A miracle!
1912
01:55:27,320 --> 01:55:28,254
No problem.
1913
01:55:28,321 --> 01:55:29,656
Anyone have
god's phone number?
1914
01:55:29,722 --> 01:55:30,690
Not me, I'm an atheist.
1915
01:55:30,757 --> 01:55:32,258
Yeah yeah sure, go
ahead and sneer.
1916
01:55:32,325 --> 01:55:34,193
But let me tell you
two kids something.
1917
01:55:34,260 --> 01:55:36,229
Cynicism is the
death of hope!
1918
01:55:36,296 --> 01:55:38,598
And it's gonna be the death
of our little radio show if
1919
01:55:38,665 --> 01:55:41,167
we don't give the people
what they wanna hear!!!
1920
01:55:41,234 --> 01:55:43,069
And what they wanna hear
is that miracles are still
1921
01:55:43,136 --> 01:55:44,337
possible in this world.
1922
01:55:44,404 --> 01:55:47,373
That the - Hey
wait a minute!
1923
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:49,275
That woman.
1924
01:55:49,342 --> 01:55:51,577
That woman in Canada!!!
1925
01:55:56,783 --> 01:55:57,817
What do you want?
1926
01:55:57,884 --> 01:56:00,286
It's a present
for the babies.
1927
01:56:00,787 --> 01:56:04,957
Come.
Come and get them.
1928
01:56:09,595 --> 01:56:10,530
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
1929
01:56:10,596 --> 01:56:12,965
Here he comes.
1930
01:56:17,970 --> 01:56:19,806
For the babies, Mr. Dionne.
1931
01:56:19,872 --> 01:56:21,974
My wife was up all
night making them.
1932
01:56:22,041 --> 01:56:24,544
God bless you Mr.
Dionne, you and your wife.
1933
01:56:24,610 --> 01:56:26,112
I want them.
1934
01:56:26,179 --> 01:56:27,413
I want them.
1935
01:56:27,747 --> 01:56:30,650
Dionne. Your wife
made the front page.
1936
01:56:30,717 --> 01:56:32,118
Farm mother has quintuplets.
1937
01:56:32,185 --> 01:56:34,387
I had to look it up.
Quintuplets. in the dictionary.
1938
01:56:34,454 --> 01:56:36,389
Nobody's ever had five
babies at once before.
1939
01:56:36,456 --> 01:56:39,525
Not in all recorded history.
1940
01:56:46,399 --> 01:56:50,336
You're the doctor delivered
the babies? Right?
1941
01:56:50,403 --> 01:56:51,337
I am.
1942
01:56:51,404 --> 01:56:52,338
They're still okay?
1943
01:56:52,405 --> 01:56:54,440
They were the last
time I saw them.
1944
01:56:54,674 --> 01:56:56,275
Hey! Mister Dionne, how
about an interview?
1945
01:56:56,342 --> 01:56:57,276
And the doc too.
1946
01:56:57,343 --> 01:57:00,046
Mister Dionne can't you get
these people away from here?
1947
01:57:03,149 --> 01:57:04,917
Everybody, please go home.
1948
01:57:04,984 --> 01:57:06,919
No one can see the babies.
1949
01:57:06,986 --> 01:57:08,955
Hey, Dionne, an
interview, come on!!!
1950
01:57:09,021 --> 01:57:10,556
Hey!
1951
01:57:10,623 --> 01:57:11,524
Hey!
1952
01:57:11,591 --> 01:57:13,326
How about me?
1953
01:57:13,393 --> 01:57:16,062
I'm the uncle.
1954
01:57:19,532 --> 01:57:21,501
Their temperature
keeps going up and down.
1955
01:57:21,567 --> 01:57:24,704
And last night one of
them stopped breathing.
1956
01:57:25,204 --> 01:57:26,739
Maman, I want to see maman.
1957
01:57:26,806 --> 01:57:28,441
No! No no no no Mr.
Dionne, Mr. Dionne,
1958
01:57:28,508 --> 01:57:29,442
Didn't I tell you?
1959
01:57:29,509 --> 01:57:31,511
The children can't
be allowed in here.
1960
01:57:31,577 --> 01:57:34,247
They let in the flies
and flies carry germs.
1961
01:57:34,313 --> 01:57:35,882
Daniel, Therese, outside.
1962
01:57:36,182 --> 01:57:37,517
We'll eat outside.
1963
01:57:37,583 --> 01:57:40,753
Thank heavens nurse
De Keyzer is coming.
1964
01:57:41,053 --> 01:57:44,390
She'll have this house
under control in no time.
1965
01:57:44,457 --> 01:57:46,626
Another nurse?
1966
01:57:47,126 --> 01:57:49,762
Would someone
close that door?
1967
01:57:50,730 --> 01:57:52,965
Mister Dionne,
this can't continue.
1968
01:57:53,032 --> 01:57:57,136
And this door must be
kept shut permanently!
1969
01:58:20,660 --> 01:58:23,663
Don't let any
strangers in, okay?
1970
01:58:23,729 --> 01:58:26,065
You're in charge.
1971
01:58:34,173 --> 01:58:37,643
These are for your
mother, kid, enjoy them.
1972
01:58:40,046 --> 01:58:41,547
So I look in the basket.
1973
01:58:41,614 --> 01:58:42,949
I rub my eyes.
1974
01:58:43,015 --> 01:58:44,750
I can't believe
what I'm seeing.
1975
01:58:44,817 --> 01:58:49,188
So I say to Elzire, uh, she's
my sister-in-law, thanks.
1976
01:58:49,255 --> 01:58:52,225
I say, "Elzire, you
had five babies".
1977
01:58:52,291 --> 01:58:54,727
And she says: "yes, I know".
1978
01:58:55,361 --> 01:58:58,064
That's Clovis, with a "c".
1979
01:58:58,130 --> 01:58:59,866
Helena Reid?!
1980
01:59:02,435 --> 01:59:04,403
Miss Reid, Melvin
Kates, North Bay journal.
1981
01:59:04,470 --> 01:59:05,705
Please, can I
have a shot ma'am.
1982
01:59:05,771 --> 01:59:07,373
I'm the one that
broke the story.
1983
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:08,708
Really.
1984
01:59:10,743 --> 01:59:11,944
Are they in there?
1985
01:59:12,011 --> 01:59:15,815
Yeah. But they're not
talking to anybody.
1986
01:59:15,882 --> 01:59:17,550
Aren't they?
1987
01:59:17,617 --> 01:59:19,585
Miss Reid, an
interview, please?
1988
01:59:22,255 --> 01:59:24,690
Dixie, where's that candy.
1989
01:59:27,159 --> 01:59:29,762
No strangers, I'm in charge.
1990
01:59:29,829 --> 01:59:31,797
But I'm not a
stranger darling,
1991
01:59:31,864 --> 01:59:34,367
I'm your aunty
Helena from New York.
1992
01:59:34,433 --> 01:59:39,338
And just look at what
I've brought for you.
1993
01:59:54,420 --> 01:59:56,022
Americans.
1994
01:59:56,355 --> 01:59:59,225
Breast milk, I can, I can't
tell you what a relief
1995
01:59:59,292 --> 02:00:01,294
this is miss..
Uh, miss Mead.
1996
02:00:01,360 --> 02:00:03,296
Reid, Doctor, Helena Reid.
1997
02:00:03,362 --> 02:00:04,964
Star of the weekly
pan-national network
1998
02:00:05,031 --> 02:00:06,866
broadcast This Life We Live.
1999
02:00:06,933 --> 02:00:08,868
Heard everywhere
across North America.
2000
02:00:08,935 --> 02:00:09,936
Not in this house.
2001
02:00:10,002 --> 02:00:11,537
No electricity.
2002
02:00:11,604 --> 02:00:12,905
And an incubator!
2003
02:00:12,972 --> 02:00:14,874
Gentlemen, right
this way please.
2004
02:00:14,941 --> 02:00:16,776
If the babies could
thank you they would.
2005
02:00:16,842 --> 02:00:19,078
Of course I'll need to
see them and the parents.
2006
02:00:19,145 --> 02:00:21,847
I must have full
access to their life story.
2007
02:00:21,914 --> 02:00:23,015
How they met, how they feel.
2008
02:00:23,082 --> 02:00:25,151
From you, I need
a full account.
2009
02:00:25,217 --> 02:00:26,886
Moment-by-moment
of the births.
2010
02:00:26,953 --> 02:00:29,522
Detail, I'm
looking for detail.
2011
02:00:29,589 --> 02:00:31,557
Anecdotes, impressions,
Anything that's gonna make
2012
02:00:31,624 --> 02:00:34,460
my listener feel
that they're in.
2013
02:00:44,203 --> 02:00:47,940
For once, I am speechless.
2014
02:00:54,046 --> 02:00:57,450
And she's just
a baby herself.
2015
02:00:57,516 --> 02:00:59,118
She's twenty-five.
2016
02:00:59,185 --> 02:01:01,020
With ten children.
2017
02:01:01,087 --> 02:01:03,122
Ten!
2018
02:01:03,889 --> 02:01:07,193
They're French and Catholic.
2019
02:01:11,631 --> 02:01:13,599
Hey there's one
of the other kids.
2020
02:01:13,666 --> 02:01:15,601
How 'bout having
your picture taken?
2021
02:01:15,668 --> 02:01:17,303
Hey!
You wanna smile for me?
2022
02:01:17,370 --> 02:01:18,304
Non.
2023
02:01:18,371 --> 02:01:19,305
Smile for me.
2024
02:01:19,372 --> 02:01:21,140
Non.
2025
02:01:23,609 --> 02:01:25,945
Hey!
Leave him alone!
2026
02:01:29,415 --> 02:01:30,950
Get out of here!
2027
02:01:31,017 --> 02:01:32,585
We weren't doing
any harm, sir.
2028
02:01:32,652 --> 02:01:34,453
Sir, we're just
taking a picture.
2029
02:01:35,521 --> 02:01:36,956
Mister Dionne, Mr.
Dionne, who's that?
2030
02:01:37,023 --> 02:01:38,658
I told you people
to stay back!!!
2031
02:01:39,558 --> 02:01:40,760
Darlings, this is it!
2032
02:01:40,826 --> 02:01:42,161
It's the story
of the century,
2033
02:01:42,228 --> 02:01:45,197
I can feel it in my bones.
2034
02:01:45,264 --> 02:01:47,667
A modern-day nativity
for our troubled times.
2035
02:01:47,733 --> 02:01:49,669
How's that for a
Helena Reid's angle?
2036
02:01:49,735 --> 02:01:51,537
I'll put a call in
for some photographer.
2037
02:01:51,871 --> 02:01:53,139
This must be Oliver.
2038
02:01:53,205 --> 02:01:55,675
Oliver, I can't tell
you how excited I am.
2039
02:01:55,741 --> 02:01:58,511
This story will capture the
imagination of the world.
2040
02:01:58,577 --> 02:02:01,280
Now, we mustn't have
any secrets you and I.
2041
02:02:01,347 --> 02:02:02,915
Lá j'en ai assez lá.
2042
02:02:02,982 --> 02:02:04,784
Can't you people
leave us alone?
2043
02:02:04,850 --> 02:02:07,086
Oliver, you're
overwhelmed, I can see that.
2044
02:02:07,153 --> 02:02:08,821
But you're in my hands now.
2045
02:02:08,888 --> 02:02:10,122
Okay. Out!
All of you!
2046
02:02:10,189 --> 02:02:11,757
Hold on, Mr. Dionne -
2047
02:02:11,824 --> 02:02:12,958
I said out!
Now!
2048
02:02:13,025 --> 02:02:14,126
But she brought
an incubator.
2049
02:02:14,193 --> 02:02:15,327
But this is Helena Reid!
2050
02:02:15,394 --> 02:02:16,629
I don't give a
damn of who she is.
2051
02:02:16,696 --> 02:02:18,297
Out!
2052
02:02:18,364 --> 02:02:21,100
But she -
2053
02:02:25,471 --> 02:02:28,974
He's going to regret that.
2054
02:02:31,077 --> 02:02:32,011
That was very foolish.
2055
02:02:32,078 --> 02:02:34,747
Miss Reid brought us breast
milk and an incubator.
2056
02:02:36,382 --> 02:02:37,316
Oh!
The breast milk!
2057
02:02:37,383 --> 02:02:38,684
[baby crying]
2058
02:02:38,751 --> 02:02:42,121
I said no more
running in the house!
2059
02:02:43,456 --> 02:02:46,759
Mister Dionne,
this can't go on.
2060
02:02:47,393 --> 02:02:50,596
You... You...
2061
02:02:50,663 --> 02:02:52,331
What do you want me to do? Huh!
2062
02:02:52,398 --> 02:02:53,299
They're my kids.
2063
02:02:53,365 --> 02:02:54,300
They live here.
2064
02:02:54,366 --> 02:02:55,367
Get rid of them!
Board them!
2065
02:02:55,434 --> 02:02:57,303
I warn you, I cannot
guarantee the survival of
2066
02:02:57,369 --> 02:03:00,072
the babies
unless you move the,
2067
02:03:00,139 --> 02:03:02,508
the, the, the
children from this house.
2068
02:03:02,575 --> 02:03:04,577
You want the
children to leave.
2069
02:03:04,643 --> 02:03:08,047
If I cannot keep
this room sterile,
2070
02:03:08,114 --> 02:03:10,616
the babies will die.
2071
02:03:11,083 --> 02:03:13,385
I have no doubt.
2072
02:03:21,827 --> 02:03:25,831
[crying]
2073
02:03:46,485 --> 02:03:47,920
No I don't want!
2074
02:03:55,895 --> 02:03:59,365
[crying]
2075
02:04:07,673 --> 02:04:10,209
I don't want to go!
2076
02:04:43,475 --> 02:04:45,211
Mister Premier, Mr. Premier,
2077
02:04:45,277 --> 02:04:46,345
what do you have to
say about the Dionne
2078
02:04:46,412 --> 02:04:47,413
quintuplets!
2079
02:04:47,479 --> 02:04:48,714
What's your
reaction to the quints?
2080
02:04:48,781 --> 02:04:50,082
Five girls born last
week to French Canadians.
2081
02:04:50,149 --> 02:04:51,150
It's a miracle, gentlemen.
2082
02:04:51,217 --> 02:04:53,953
But that's Ontario for you,
it's the land of the miracles.
2083
02:04:54,019 --> 02:04:55,421
Sir, how do you respond to
charges that your government
2084
02:04:55,487 --> 02:04:57,022
has done nothing
to aid the Dionnes,
2085
02:04:57,089 --> 02:04:58,724
and the Americans being
first on the scene with
2086
02:04:58,791 --> 02:04:59,959
American breast milk?
2087
02:05:00,025 --> 02:05:01,794
Gentlemen, no government
could care more for those
2088
02:05:01,861 --> 02:05:02,995
little babies.
2089
02:05:03,062 --> 02:05:05,231
That's why we were
elected in a landslide.
2090
02:05:05,297 --> 02:05:07,333
People know our hearts
are in the right place.
2091
02:05:07,399 --> 02:05:10,336
And right now our hearts
are in Northern Ontario.
2092
02:05:10,402 --> 02:05:11,337
Northern Ontario
with the Dionnes.
2093
02:05:11,403 --> 02:05:14,406
Thanks, thanks.
Nice seeing you again.
2094
02:05:15,140 --> 02:05:17,576
Hepburn's newly-elected
government slow to respond
2095
02:05:17,643 --> 02:05:19,378
to Dionne quints!
2096
02:05:19,445 --> 02:05:21,914
American breast milk first
nourishment for five
2097
02:05:21,981 --> 02:05:23,649
hungry babies!
2098
02:05:23,716 --> 02:05:25,351
One of the biggest
events in the world,
2099
02:05:25,417 --> 02:05:27,853
it happened less than two
Hundred miles from here,
2100
02:05:27,920 --> 02:05:30,422
and we didn't
even know about it.
2101
02:05:30,489 --> 02:05:33,392
Toronto star printed the
story on the last page,
2102
02:05:33,459 --> 02:05:34,894
no one noticed.
2103
02:05:34,960 --> 02:05:37,029
Not until the American
press took an interest.
2104
02:05:37,096 --> 02:05:41,100
Well, they sure as
hell noticed now!
2105
02:05:41,166 --> 02:05:42,835
And what they've
noticed is that we've
2106
02:05:42,902 --> 02:05:44,603
done sweet nothing.
2107
02:05:44,670 --> 02:05:46,372
Who's ever gonna forget?
2108
02:05:46,438 --> 02:05:48,741
That the quint's first
bottle was full of American
2109
02:05:48,807 --> 02:05:50,709
breast milk.
2110
02:05:50,776 --> 02:05:53,245
Damn Americans,
beating us to it.
2111
02:05:53,312 --> 02:05:55,547
This is gonna be very
damaging unless we get off
2112
02:05:55,614 --> 02:05:57,182
our fat behinds
and do something!
2113
02:05:57,249 --> 02:05:58,884
Now!
2114
02:05:59,485 --> 02:06:01,654
So do it!
2115
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:03,689
Whatever it takes.
2116
02:06:04,089 --> 02:06:07,359
And make us
look like heroes.
2117
02:06:18,570 --> 02:06:21,540
Nurse Marie'll be
hanging diapers in a minute.
2118
02:06:21,607 --> 02:06:23,475
That'll be exciting!
2119
02:06:23,542 --> 02:06:26,011
Patience,
children, patience.
2120
02:06:26,312 --> 02:06:28,314
The angle will come to me.
2121
02:06:28,380 --> 02:06:30,549
This takes time to gestate.
2122
02:06:30,616 --> 02:06:32,584
Not more than
nine months, I hope.
2123
02:06:32,818 --> 02:06:34,820
Here he comes!
2124
02:06:41,593 --> 02:06:43,729
Doctor Dafoe,
over here, sir?
2125
02:06:43,796 --> 02:06:44,763
Doctor?
2126
02:06:44,830 --> 02:06:45,864
Please turn this way?
2127
02:06:45,931 --> 02:06:46,966
Get a shot of the doctor.
2128
02:06:47,032 --> 02:06:48,734
Is it true they're
in the oven in there?
2129
02:06:48,801 --> 02:06:49,768
Over here doc!
2130
02:06:49,835 --> 02:06:52,538
Is true their lives
are hanging by a thread?
2131
02:06:52,738 --> 02:06:53,672
You people aren't
going to go away,
2132
02:06:53,739 --> 02:06:55,140
are you?
2133
02:06:55,207 --> 02:06:57,509
Doc, are you getting any
advice from other doctors?
2134
02:06:57,576 --> 02:06:59,778
I got some letters.
2135
02:06:59,845 --> 02:07:01,647
Well what's in them?
2136
02:07:01,880 --> 02:07:06,151
Oh some, some veterinarian
from Chicago suggested the
2137
02:07:06,218 --> 02:07:09,455
babies could get their milk
by suckling a Yorkshire sow.
2138
02:07:10,422 --> 02:07:14,660
Another man offered me a
solution of sheep's dung tea.
2139
02:07:15,461 --> 02:07:17,296
Doc, why don't you just tell
us what's going on in there?
2140
02:07:17,363 --> 02:07:18,464
Diapers and more diapers.
2141
02:07:18,530 --> 02:07:19,531
I have never seen so many.
2142
02:07:19,598 --> 02:07:21,233
Fifty a day.
2143
02:07:21,300 --> 02:07:23,635
Doc, are you an
expert of peadiatrics?
2144
02:07:23,702 --> 02:07:25,771
Oh if I wasn't
before, I am now.
2145
02:07:25,838 --> 02:07:28,674
Doc, tell us a
little bit about yourself.
2146
02:07:30,042 --> 02:07:31,777
Just a simple
country doctor.
2147
02:07:31,844 --> 02:07:33,245
That's all I am.
2148
02:07:33,445 --> 02:07:35,014
What about Mrs.
Dionne, doctor?
2149
02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:36,982
Is she gonna have any
more babies after this?
2150
02:07:37,049 --> 02:07:38,550
If I know my
French patients,
2151
02:07:38,617 --> 02:07:41,286
they've just begun.
2152
02:07:41,620 --> 02:07:43,655
[laughing]
2153
02:07:44,523 --> 02:07:49,261
That simple country doctor
may not be quite so simple.
2154
02:07:49,661 --> 02:07:51,096
Miss Reid's
getting something.
2155
02:07:51,697 --> 02:07:54,033
Hmm hmm.
2156
02:08:00,005 --> 02:08:02,274
These diapers
are so small.
2157
02:08:02,341 --> 02:08:04,343
I had to make them by hand.
2158
02:08:04,410 --> 02:08:06,111
Mrs. Dionne, why
are you not at bed?
2159
02:08:06,178 --> 02:08:07,980
And you are not to
come near the babies.
2160
02:08:08,047 --> 02:08:09,982
Weren't you told?
2161
02:08:14,620 --> 02:08:16,622
I sometimes give them
an aperitif before their
2162
02:08:16,688 --> 02:08:18,090
feeding time.
2163
02:08:18,157 --> 02:08:19,491
An aperitif?
2164
02:08:19,558 --> 02:08:21,160
From the inhalator.
2165
02:08:21,226 --> 02:08:23,829
Ninety five percent oxygen,
five percent carbon dioxide,
2166
02:08:23,896 --> 02:08:25,831
An oxygen cocktail.
2167
02:08:25,898 --> 02:08:28,667
Does them a world of good.
2168
02:08:28,734 --> 02:08:32,704
Doctor, if I'm very careful,
could I help with the babies?
2169
02:08:32,771 --> 02:08:34,873
Feed them, or
just hold them?
2170
02:08:34,940 --> 02:08:37,843
No, above all you
must not touch them.
2171
02:08:40,079 --> 02:08:44,149
Not... not touch my babies?
2172
02:08:44,216 --> 02:08:45,317
I am the boss.
2173
02:08:45,384 --> 02:08:48,887
Now, Mrs. Dionne, have you
no understanding of germs?
2174
02:08:49,288 --> 02:08:50,489
I understands kids.
2175
02:08:50,556 --> 02:08:52,357
This room will have
to be disinfected.
2176
02:08:52,424 --> 02:08:53,992
Floor to ceiling.
2177
02:08:54,059 --> 02:08:56,562
Every filthy inch.
2178
02:09:04,570 --> 02:09:07,072
There are other
bedrooms, surely?
2179
02:09:07,139 --> 02:09:08,674
Upstairs.
2180
02:09:08,740 --> 02:09:11,343
But I always stay
here when I give birth.
2181
02:09:11,410 --> 02:09:12,511
Good.
2182
02:09:12,578 --> 02:09:14,413
You're pleased
to move up there.
2183
02:09:14,480 --> 02:09:17,449
And from now on, gowns and
masks for those authorized
2184
02:09:17,516 --> 02:09:20,219
to come into the nursery.
2185
02:09:22,221 --> 02:09:24,389
Who is he?
2186
02:09:24,623 --> 02:09:27,726
Oliva, they won't let
me touch the babies.
2187
02:09:30,762 --> 02:09:33,031
What's going on around here.
2188
02:09:33,098 --> 02:09:34,733
What gives you the right to
tell my wife she can't touch
2189
02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:35,734
her own babies?
2190
02:09:35,801 --> 02:09:38,303
And who's that woman?
2191
02:09:38,370 --> 02:09:40,305
Mister Dionne, Lena De
Keyzer was with me during
2192
02:09:40,372 --> 02:09:42,407
the smallpox epidemic.
2193
02:09:42,474 --> 02:09:45,477
She is the best nurse I know
and I begged her to come
2194
02:09:45,544 --> 02:09:48,580
here because if anyone can
ensure the survival of the
2195
02:09:48,647 --> 02:09:51,683
babies, she can.
2196
02:09:55,087 --> 02:09:57,489
I'll go upstairs.
2197
02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:04,096
The true story of Elzire
and Oliva Dionne as told by
2198
02:10:04,163 --> 02:10:06,465
Clovis Dionne, brother to
the father of the Dionne
2199
02:10:06,532 --> 02:10:07,766
quintuplets.
2200
02:10:07,833 --> 02:10:09,935
All the intimate,
never-before-written
2201
02:10:10,002 --> 02:10:11,203
about details.
2202
02:10:11,270 --> 02:10:13,338
I can even throw in some -
2203
02:10:29,254 --> 02:10:30,489
Oliva!
2204
02:10:30,556 --> 02:10:33,258
They're from Chicago.
2205
02:10:35,093 --> 02:10:39,598
Mister Dionne, I'll speak
my piece and then I'll go.
2206
02:10:39,798 --> 02:10:41,934
It's a circus out there, and
I certainly don't wanna add
2207
02:10:42,000 --> 02:10:43,168
to your troubles.
2208
02:10:43,235 --> 02:10:44,169
You're with the newsreels?
2209
02:10:44,236 --> 02:10:45,170
The press?
2210
02:10:45,237 --> 02:10:46,338
Far from it, sir.
2211
02:10:46,405 --> 02:10:49,208
A pack of wild dogs, is
what they remind me of.
2212
02:10:49,274 --> 02:10:50,309
Now they make
their money of you,
2213
02:10:50,375 --> 02:10:51,910
And as soon as the
story goes stale,
2214
02:10:51,977 --> 02:10:53,078
they're gone.
2215
02:10:53,145 --> 02:10:55,147
Meanwhile who's
paying your bills?
2216
02:10:55,214 --> 02:10:57,382
You must be asking
yourself that, sir.
2217
02:10:57,449 --> 02:10:59,484
Five new mouths to feed.
2218
02:10:59,751 --> 02:11:01,887
I can take care of my own.
2219
02:11:03,922 --> 02:11:06,358
This is a well-run farm.
2220
02:11:06,425 --> 02:11:07,459
No one ever
starves on a farm,
2221
02:11:07,526 --> 02:11:09,261
isn't that right?
2222
02:11:09,628 --> 02:11:11,897
Now what my associate was
thinking was of all the
2223
02:11:11,964 --> 02:11:15,267
medical bills
you'll probably face.
2224
02:11:22,608 --> 02:11:23,642
This is just to show you, sir.
2225
02:11:23,709 --> 02:11:24,643
A hundred dollars!
2226
02:11:24,710 --> 02:11:27,145
That we have a solid
financial background.
2227
02:11:27,212 --> 02:11:29,982
And all I'm asking is
to discuss a business
2228
02:11:30,048 --> 02:11:31,717
proposition with you.
2229
02:11:31,783 --> 02:11:34,820
One that will resolve all
your financial difficulties
2230
02:11:34,886 --> 02:11:39,424
now and in the future.
2231
02:11:39,625 --> 02:11:42,361
One hundred dollars.
2232
02:11:45,964 --> 02:11:49,167
And that's just the
beginning, father.
2233
02:11:49,468 --> 02:11:51,903
Everything will be paid for.
2234
02:11:51,970 --> 02:11:56,541
Medical supplies,
nurses, doctors.
2235
02:11:57,042 --> 02:12:00,946
And all we have to do is move
to Chicago with the babies.
2236
02:12:01,013 --> 02:12:03,882
What did Dr. Dafoe say?
2237
02:12:05,050 --> 02:12:06,752
Dafoe?
2238
02:12:07,319 --> 02:12:09,588
He's got nothing
to say about it?
2239
02:12:09,655 --> 02:12:11,390
He's treating Elzire like
she's going to kill the
2240
02:12:11,456 --> 02:12:15,193
babies if she
even looks at them.
2241
02:12:15,594 --> 02:12:17,062
But this, this, father,
is going to buy us
2242
02:12:17,129 --> 02:12:18,897
the best doctors.
2243
02:12:18,964 --> 02:12:20,499
Specialists.
2244
02:12:20,565 --> 02:12:23,268
But Elzire, she
wanted me to ask you,
2245
02:12:23,335 --> 02:12:26,338
what you think about going
to Chicago with the babies.
2246
02:12:26,405 --> 02:12:28,840
Mister Spear said that
when we'll be there,
2247
02:12:28,907 --> 02:12:31,043
people will wanna see them.
2248
02:12:31,109 --> 02:12:34,613
Scientists, and
other people too.
2249
02:12:35,881 --> 02:12:42,187
Oliva, why do you think
those babies were born?
2250
02:12:43,622 --> 02:12:46,291
To do good.
2251
02:12:46,358 --> 02:12:51,263
You see Oliva these babies,
they are miracle from god.
2252
02:12:52,164 --> 02:12:57,135
So in a way, they owe
something back to god.
2253
02:12:57,869 --> 02:13:02,407
Now, as you know, we have no
money to build our church.
2254
02:13:04,576 --> 02:13:10,415
But if I were to be your
business manager for a
2255
02:13:10,482 --> 02:13:14,319
modest seven percent
fee, the money could go to
2256
02:13:14,386 --> 02:13:16,822
completing the church.
2257
02:13:16,888 --> 02:13:18,657
Hey?
2258
02:13:23,762 --> 02:13:26,064
Then now, over there!
2259
02:13:30,535 --> 02:13:32,037
That's right.
2260
02:13:33,105 --> 02:13:34,306
This is the first
shipment of breast milk,
2261
02:13:34,373 --> 02:13:36,508
doctor, donated by
Canadian mothers.
2262
02:13:36,575 --> 02:13:38,744
As well we have
another incubator coming.
2263
02:13:38,810 --> 02:13:40,612
And we have instructed the
local government to bring in
2264
02:13:40,679 --> 02:13:44,282
electricity, entirely at
the government's expense.
2265
02:13:44,349 --> 02:13:46,451
This is welcome
news, I can tell you.
2266
02:13:46,518 --> 02:13:49,121
Yes. We can hardly wait to
communicate the news to
2267
02:13:49,187 --> 02:13:51,323
Mr. Dionne and members
of the press.
2268
02:13:51,390 --> 02:13:53,158
Now.
2269
02:13:53,425 --> 02:13:54,559
Is there anything
you need, doctor?
2270
02:13:54,626 --> 02:13:56,728
Anything, anything at all.
2271
02:13:56,995 --> 02:13:59,564
Well now, if I, if I were
a dreamer I'd wish for a
2272
02:13:59,631 --> 02:14:03,068
clean, hygienic
environment for the babies.
2273
02:14:03,135 --> 02:14:07,539
The situation here is very
primitive as you can see.
2274
02:14:07,973 --> 02:14:09,674
I will mention
this to the premier.
2275
02:14:09,741 --> 02:14:11,243
He loves children.
2276
02:14:11,309 --> 02:14:12,411
Especially babies.
2277
02:14:12,477 --> 02:14:14,413
Perhaps, doctor, since
the press is already at our
2278
02:14:14,479 --> 02:14:18,683
doorstep, so to speak, you
wouldn't mind joining us to
2279
02:14:18,750 --> 02:14:21,920
tell them about the
government's plans?
2280
02:14:23,355 --> 02:14:25,223
Why not!
2281
02:14:30,562 --> 02:14:32,998
I would like to announce
that I've just signed an
2282
02:14:33,064 --> 02:14:35,901
agreement with
Mister Dionne,
2283
02:14:35,967 --> 02:14:38,370
the father of the
Dionne quintuplets.
2284
02:14:38,837 --> 02:14:40,939
As soon as the quintuplets
can travel they will appear
2285
02:14:41,006 --> 02:14:44,576
exclusively and in person
at the world famous
2286
02:14:44,643 --> 02:14:48,146
Chicago world's fair.
2287
02:14:48,680 --> 02:14:50,882
The quints will become
part of an exhibit that will
2288
02:14:50,949 --> 02:14:54,519
promote an
appreciation of the family.
2289
02:14:54,586 --> 02:14:56,054
It will all be done in the
best of taste with utmost
2290
02:14:56,121 --> 02:14:58,423
concern for the babies.
2291
02:14:58,790 --> 02:14:59,958
Are you saying that the
babies are going to be put
2292
02:15:00,025 --> 02:15:01,960
on display like
animals in a zoo?
2293
02:15:02,227 --> 02:15:03,161
Don't be a fool, man, the
government just offered to
2294
02:15:03,228 --> 02:15:05,330
pay for everything!
2295
02:15:05,931 --> 02:15:08,033
I don't need charity.
2296
02:15:08,099 --> 02:15:10,168
Me, I pay my own way.
2297
02:15:11,536 --> 02:15:12,871
Then go.
2298
02:15:12,938 --> 02:15:15,941
Get all the money you can.
2299
02:15:18,543 --> 02:15:20,479
You didn't bring
them into the world.
2300
02:15:21,513 --> 02:15:22,981
God did.
2301
02:15:23,415 --> 02:15:24,916
If anyone wants
to see the quints,
2302
02:15:24,983 --> 02:15:28,253
all you have to do is to come
to Chicago world's fair.
2303
02:15:34,159 --> 02:15:36,628
Miss Reid's smiling.
2304
02:15:36,695 --> 02:15:39,297
Stay tuned children.
2305
02:15:39,364 --> 02:15:42,400
Stay tuned.
2306
02:15:44,569 --> 02:15:49,007
A miracle took place
a few short days ago.
2307
02:15:49,241 --> 02:15:51,209
But if I thought that
I would find a story
2308
02:15:51,276 --> 02:15:55,013
reminiscent of the
miracle of Bethlehem,
2309
02:15:55,080 --> 02:15:57,616
one that would inspire us to
ponder the true meaning of
2310
02:15:57,682 --> 02:16:04,256
family, of childhood, of
love I was naively mistaken.
2311
02:16:04,923 --> 02:16:10,662
Imagine, if you can, Joseph
signing a contract with
2312
02:16:10,729 --> 02:16:15,734
Herod to exhibit the Baby
Jesus at the Roman coliseum.
2313
02:16:17,903 --> 02:16:21,806
Now, do you understand the
outrage I feel that Oliver
2314
02:16:21,873 --> 02:16:25,310
Dionne, father of the
Dionne quintuplets,
2315
02:16:25,377 --> 02:16:28,914
selling his
precious infants,
2316
02:16:28,980 --> 02:16:33,652
to a Chicago promoter!
2317
02:16:34,719 --> 02:16:36,621
Oliver Dionne
is an avaricious,
2318
02:16:36,688 --> 02:16:41,226
grasping peasant whose lust
enslaved his child-bride
2319
02:16:41,293 --> 02:16:45,530
into bearing ten
children in eight years.
2320
02:16:45,597 --> 02:16:50,368
And this, this is the man
who now wants to exhibit his
2321
02:16:50,435 --> 02:16:55,607
babies next to the bearded
lady and the alligator boy!
2322
02:16:55,674 --> 02:16:56,775
But who?
2323
02:16:56,841 --> 02:17:01,012
Who you ask will protect
these precious babies from
2324
02:17:01,079 --> 02:17:02,881
this man?
2325
02:17:02,948 --> 02:17:06,017
My friends, as
fate would have it,
2326
02:17:06,084 --> 02:17:09,354
there is such a man.
2327
02:17:09,421 --> 02:17:13,024
Doctor Alan Roy Dafoe, as
he is fond of telling us,
2328
02:17:13,091 --> 02:17:15,961
is a simple country doctor.
2329
02:17:16,027 --> 02:17:18,663
A widower who lost his
beloved wife to a brain
2330
02:17:18,730 --> 02:17:23,835
tumor some eight years ago,
Dr. Dafoe lives a lonely and
2331
02:17:23,902 --> 02:17:29,007
very private existence,
save for his housekeeper,
2332
02:17:29,074 --> 02:17:35,714
a woman as devoted to him
as he is to his patients.
2333
02:17:36,014 --> 02:17:39,751
If anyone can save
these five little girls,
2334
02:17:39,818 --> 02:17:46,391
so innocent, so vulnerable,
so fragile, it is he.
2335
02:17:47,158 --> 02:17:50,295
But, because of
Oliva Dionne's greed,
2336
02:17:50,362 --> 02:17:52,897
this man has now
been cast aside.
2337
02:17:52,964 --> 02:17:57,135
Wrenched from the
babies he so dearly loves.
2338
02:17:57,202 --> 02:18:01,139
And now I, and you, should
fear for their safety.
2339
02:18:10,548 --> 02:18:12,684
I sent you up there to
do one simple thing.
2340
02:18:12,751 --> 02:18:14,219
And this is how
you handle it!
2341
02:18:14,286 --> 02:18:16,588
Cables,
newspaper editorials,
2342
02:18:16,655 --> 02:18:19,224
phone calls jamming
the switchboards,
2343
02:18:19,290 --> 02:18:21,593
everyone
demanding the same thing.
2344
02:18:21,660 --> 02:18:23,795
Put an end to
this spectacle.
2345
02:18:23,995 --> 02:18:25,597
Dionne's contract with
the Chicago world's fair is
2346
02:18:25,664 --> 02:18:27,599
perfectly legal.
2347
02:18:27,666 --> 02:18:29,467
That doesn't
make it acceptable.
2348
02:18:29,534 --> 02:18:31,770
Now I don't care
how you manage it,
2349
02:18:31,836 --> 02:18:33,605
but those babies
are going nowhere.
2350
02:18:33,672 --> 02:18:35,140
But, how can we stop them?
2351
02:18:35,206 --> 02:18:37,308
I mean you can' t just take
the babies away from them.
2352
02:18:37,375 --> 02:18:38,843
Can't we?
2353
02:18:38,910 --> 02:18:41,613
It is legal to make
children wards of the crown.
2354
02:18:41,680 --> 02:18:44,349
If it's clear
that they're at risk.
2355
02:18:44,416 --> 02:18:45,884
The risk is clear.
2356
02:18:45,950 --> 02:18:47,085
The parents are unfit.
2357
02:18:47,152 --> 02:18:50,121
But sir, the Dionnes
are said to be thoroughly
2358
02:18:50,188 --> 02:18:51,256
respectable people.
2359
02:18:51,322 --> 02:18:53,591
This will look like blatant
government interference.
2360
02:18:53,658 --> 02:18:56,428
And it damn well is.
2361
02:18:56,494 --> 02:18:58,430
And we're gonna do
nothing but interfere.
2362
02:18:58,496 --> 02:19:00,598
But I guarantee
you one thing,
2363
02:19:00,665 --> 02:19:04,235
when this is over, all
we'll hear is applause.
2364
02:19:04,302 --> 02:19:07,939
How we approach the
matter will determine that.
2365
02:19:08,006 --> 02:19:10,642
Then let's make sure
that we cover our tails.
2366
02:19:10,709 --> 02:19:13,278
You get the
parents' consent.
2367
02:19:13,545 --> 02:19:16,614
And if they don't.
2368
02:19:18,650 --> 02:19:21,119
Then we take
the kids anyway.
2369
02:19:31,663 --> 02:19:34,199
We understand the terrible
strain you've been under.
2370
02:19:34,265 --> 02:19:37,068
We only regret we
didn't get here sooner.
2371
02:19:37,135 --> 02:19:39,571
We want to reassure you the
that government intends to
2372
02:19:39,637 --> 02:19:41,372
help with all your needs.
2373
02:19:41,439 --> 02:19:45,043
Like you say,
you're a bit late.
2374
02:19:45,110 --> 02:19:48,413
Ah ah Mister Dionne don't
worry about the Americans.
2375
02:19:48,480 --> 02:19:51,616
Now, under our plan, the
government will take full
2376
02:19:51,683 --> 02:19:56,454
financial responsibility for
the babies through the form
2377
02:19:56,521 --> 02:19:59,057
of a guardianship.
2378
02:20:01,493 --> 02:20:04,262
Oliva, de quoi ils parlent?
2379
02:20:05,897 --> 02:20:07,398
A guardianship?
2380
02:20:07,465 --> 02:20:10,068
You mean you want to
take away the babies?
2381
02:20:10,135 --> 02:20:11,069
Non!
2382
02:20:11,136 --> 02:20:14,172
Only until their
health stabilises.
2383
02:20:14,773 --> 02:20:16,674
Why?
2384
02:20:17,242 --> 02:20:19,778
Why do you have to take
away the babies to do that?
2385
02:20:19,844 --> 02:20:22,480
Oh! It's purely a
formality ma'am.
2386
02:20:22,547 --> 02:20:26,084
Until Dr. Dafoe judges
that they are out of danger.
2387
02:20:31,489 --> 02:20:33,992
There are a lot better
doctors than him in Chicago.
2388
02:20:34,058 --> 02:20:37,929
Mister Dionne, the Americans
aren't your only friends.
2389
02:20:37,996 --> 02:20:40,899
At present the Red Cross is
supplying you with breast milk.
2390
02:20:40,965 --> 02:20:43,835
The Canadian Red Cross.
2391
02:20:43,902 --> 02:20:45,970
It's against your best
interest to jeopardize
2392
02:20:46,037 --> 02:20:49,374
that relationship.
2393
02:20:52,544 --> 02:20:54,712
You're saying you're gonna
stop supplying breast milk?
2394
02:20:54,779 --> 02:20:57,615
Mister Dionne,
you need friends.
2395
02:20:57,682 --> 02:21:00,251
I don't know if you realize
how much your reputation
2396
02:21:00,318 --> 02:21:01,786
has suffered.
2397
02:21:01,853 --> 02:21:04,155
Oliva!
2398
02:21:04,756 --> 02:21:06,991
Excuse me.
2399
02:21:09,494 --> 02:21:11,863
Something's wrong!
2400
02:21:14,999 --> 02:21:17,435
There's something
wrong with her.
2401
02:21:17,502 --> 02:21:20,371
Impossible, I
just examined them.
2402
02:21:20,438 --> 02:21:22,440
She's warm.
2403
02:21:24,275 --> 02:21:26,678
She's burning up.
2404
02:21:26,744 --> 02:21:28,580
They all are.
2405
02:21:39,257 --> 02:21:41,893
A hundred and five.
2406
02:21:42,093 --> 02:21:44,762
They won't last the night.
2407
02:21:45,797 --> 02:21:48,299
Syringe.
2408
02:21:56,641 --> 02:21:59,310
Doctor they'll never be
able to survive an enema.
2409
02:21:59,377 --> 02:22:02,480
This is the last
chance I can give them.
2410
02:23:01,406 --> 02:23:03,975
She opened her eyes
and looked right at me.
2411
02:23:04,042 --> 02:23:06,244
She's the tiniest.
2412
02:23:06,311 --> 02:23:08,980
The last born.
2413
02:23:11,249 --> 02:23:14,786
A little angel.
2414
02:23:24,362 --> 02:23:25,763
Fever's broken.
2415
02:23:25,830 --> 02:23:27,198
They're going to be alright.
2416
02:23:27,265 --> 02:23:28,733
Check the temperature
of the incubators.
2417
02:23:28,800 --> 02:23:31,536
They must be kept at
ninety one degrees.
2418
02:23:31,803 --> 02:23:33,638
And watch the little one.
2419
02:23:33,838 --> 02:23:36,007
I thank you doctor.
2420
02:23:36,074 --> 02:23:37,842
Thank you.
2421
02:23:46,384 --> 02:23:47,652
Babies are alive.
2422
02:23:48,019 --> 02:23:49,921
The babies are all alive!!!
2423
02:23:49,988 --> 02:23:52,724
They're all alive and well.
2424
02:23:53,791 --> 02:23:55,693
How do you feel about them being
sent to Chicago now, doctor?
2425
02:23:55,760 --> 02:23:57,428
Doc? Do you think it's right
them going to Chicago,
2426
02:23:57,495 --> 02:23:58,830
after what just happened?
2427
02:23:58,896 --> 02:24:00,965
They're not going anywhere.
2428
02:24:01,032 --> 02:24:02,533
Not as long as
I'm their doctor.
2429
02:24:19,717 --> 02:24:20,952
An honour to meet you sir.
2430
02:24:21,019 --> 02:24:23,254
The honour is mine doctor.
2431
02:24:23,321 --> 02:24:26,657
It seems that the hyperbole
about you being a miracle
2432
02:24:26,724 --> 02:24:29,293
doctor happens to be true.
2433
02:24:29,360 --> 02:24:31,496
Uh. Thank you sir.
2434
02:24:31,562 --> 02:24:33,331
I only did what any other
man in my position would
2435
02:24:33,398 --> 02:24:34,799
have done.
2436
02:24:34,866 --> 02:24:36,234
We're going to have to
do something about the
2437
02:24:36,300 --> 02:24:38,870
excessive modesty, doc.
2438
02:24:40,204 --> 02:24:41,706
Now listen doc.
2439
02:24:41,773 --> 02:24:45,676
The government feels that the
Dionnes are not fit parents.
2440
02:24:45,743 --> 02:24:47,845
I think you'll agree there?
2441
02:24:47,912 --> 02:24:49,347
Oh, well.
2442
02:24:49,414 --> 02:24:51,849
Now we're going to take
control of the quints,
2443
02:24:51,916 --> 02:24:54,719
But what we need to know is
that you're willing to take
2444
02:24:54,786 --> 02:24:56,454
on the supervision of them?
2445
02:24:56,521 --> 02:24:59,057
I can't think of
a better person.
2446
02:24:59,123 --> 02:25:01,893
Public just loves you.
2447
02:25:02,827 --> 02:25:08,099
I, I would be honoured.
2448
02:25:08,166 --> 02:25:11,269
Then they're yours.
2449
02:25:13,438 --> 02:25:14,372
The government has
viewed with great
2450
02:25:14,439 --> 02:25:18,009
concern the attempt on
the part of Oiva Dionne to
2451
02:25:18,076 --> 02:25:19,877
exploit his children.
2452
02:25:19,944 --> 02:25:22,080
We have informed him as
far as this government is
2453
02:25:22,146 --> 02:25:25,950
concerned his contract with
the Chicago world's fair is
2454
02:25:26,017 --> 02:25:27,618
null and void.
2455
02:25:27,685 --> 02:25:30,621
And let me tell you, when
exploiters come up here from
2456
02:25:30,688 --> 02:25:33,458
American cities to
pull this sort of racket,
2457
02:25:33,524 --> 02:25:36,260
they'd better not think that
this government is going to
2458
02:25:36,327 --> 02:25:38,996
stand idly by!
2459
02:25:39,063 --> 02:25:44,802
The lives of children are
a bigger concern in Canada
2460
02:25:44,869 --> 02:25:46,938
than profits!
2461
02:25:47,004 --> 02:25:52,977
Consequently the legislature has
enacted a guardianship bill.
2462
02:26:31,816 --> 02:26:34,018
No!!!
2463
02:26:35,586 --> 02:26:37,855
Mes bébés!
2464
02:26:37,922 --> 02:26:40,224
Don't touch her!
2465
02:26:40,291 --> 02:26:43,060
Stand back, don't interfere!
2466
02:26:45,396 --> 02:26:46,898
Dafoe don't do this.
2467
02:26:46,964 --> 02:26:49,534
This isn't
right, you know it!
2468
02:27:11,589 --> 02:27:13,191
Yvonne!
2469
02:27:13,257 --> 02:27:16,427
[applause]
2470
02:27:16,494 --> 02:27:20,631
Annette!
2471
02:27:20,831 --> 02:27:22,733
Emilie!
2472
02:27:24,735 --> 02:27:28,072
Cécile!
2473
02:27:29,006 --> 02:27:30,975
And my little Marie!
2474
02:27:36,614 --> 02:27:39,917
[cries]
2475
02:27:46,090 --> 02:27:48,659
This is a very
happy day indeed.
2476
02:27:48,726 --> 02:27:52,163
And mindful of the fact that
a political speech can often
2477
02:27:52,230 --> 02:27:56,067
put an adult
to sleep,
2478
02:27:56,133 --> 02:28:01,372
never mind five baby girls,
I will refrain from making one.
2479
02:28:01,439 --> 02:28:03,140
[laughter]
2480
02:28:03,207 --> 02:28:04,642
Mind you, if it's past
your bedtime Mr. premier.
2481
02:28:04,709 --> 02:28:07,311
[laughing]
2482
02:28:09,280 --> 02:28:12,483
In recognition of his
outstanding work with the
2483
02:28:12,550 --> 02:28:18,489
quints, who as we all see,
are as five healthy nippers
2484
02:28:18,556 --> 02:28:21,058
as any mother
could wish for it.
2485
02:28:21,125 --> 02:28:22,226
[laugh]
2486
02:28:22,293 --> 02:28:27,164
I now hereby
officially open,
2487
02:28:27,231 --> 02:28:30,901
the Dafoe hospital.
2488
02:28:32,570 --> 02:28:36,574
[cheering]
[trumpet fanfare]
2489
02:28:58,162 --> 02:28:59,864
Mister Hepburn!
2490
02:29:00,364 --> 02:29:01,666
Mister Hepburn!
2491
02:29:01,732 --> 02:29:02,933
I'm sure he'll want a
meet with you Mr. Dionne,
2492
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:05,002
but not right now, okay?
2493
02:29:05,069 --> 02:29:06,671
He won't answer our letters!
2494
02:29:06,737 --> 02:29:08,539
He won't meet with us!
2495
02:29:08,606 --> 02:29:10,174
If he'd meet us, he'd see
that the guardianship
2496
02:29:10,241 --> 02:29:11,909
isn't necessary.
2497
02:29:11,976 --> 02:29:14,312
This is not the time.
2498
02:29:14,378 --> 02:29:15,479
Now the government's
given you its assurance.
2499
02:29:15,546 --> 02:29:17,081
You have
twenty-four-hour-a-day
2500
02:29:17,148 --> 02:29:18,316
access to the babies.
2501
02:29:18,382 --> 02:29:20,518
And the guardianship is
for a limited time only.
2502
02:29:20,584 --> 02:29:22,753
I've been
talking to lawyers.
2503
02:29:22,820 --> 02:29:24,722
I wouldn't waste
the money, sir.
2504
02:29:24,789 --> 02:29:27,992
No one successfully
sues the government.
2505
02:30:01,759 --> 02:30:05,029
The government guy, he said we
can see the babies any time.
2506
02:30:05,229 --> 02:30:07,498
Any time we want.
2507
02:30:10,801 --> 02:30:14,071
It's just across the road.
2508
02:30:19,176 --> 02:30:22,813
Yes, it's so convenient.
2509
02:30:23,514 --> 02:30:27,151
That's just how I
like to raise my kids.
2510
02:30:27,218 --> 02:30:29,353
By having them
across the road.
2511
02:30:29,420 --> 02:30:30,454
Elzire.
2512
02:30:30,521 --> 02:30:34,925
Don't. Don't ask
me to accept this.
2513
02:30:34,992 --> 02:30:36,894
To accept that my babies,
when they have a bad dream
2514
02:30:36,961 --> 02:30:39,897
and they cry, I
won't be there!
2515
02:30:39,964 --> 02:30:42,032
I won't be there when
they have their first tooth.
2516
02:30:42,099 --> 02:30:46,737
When, when they
learn their first word.
2517
02:30:46,804 --> 02:30:49,774
I, I won't be there,
2518
02:30:52,843 --> 02:30:54,879
I won't be there because I'll,
2519
02:30:56,380 --> 02:30:59,283
I'll be just across the road.
2520
02:31:05,689 --> 02:31:07,758
Hey! Look at me.
2521
02:31:13,931 --> 02:31:14,865
Very good!
2522
02:31:14,932 --> 02:31:16,133
Thank you.
2523
02:31:16,200 --> 02:31:19,770
Now isn't my Marie the
most beautiful little child.
2524
02:31:19,837 --> 02:31:21,272
Come on, smile
for Dr. Dafoe.
2525
02:31:21,338 --> 02:31:23,073
Give a smile.
2526
02:31:23,140 --> 02:31:24,575
Ouh ouh too too too too!
2527
02:31:24,642 --> 02:31:25,810
She has a mind of her own.
2528
02:31:25,876 --> 02:31:27,244
[laughing]
2529
02:31:27,311 --> 02:31:28,813
Yes well, here,
here you are.
2530
02:31:28,879 --> 02:31:30,748
Nurse?
2531
02:31:30,815 --> 02:31:33,584
Yes Yes I think she's
just a little tired.
2532
02:31:33,651 --> 02:31:35,119
That was nice.
2533
02:31:35,186 --> 02:31:36,754
And that little remark
you made to the mayor,
2534
02:31:36,821 --> 02:31:37,888
or the governor,
whoever he is.
2535
02:31:37,955 --> 02:31:39,123
The premier.
2536
02:31:39,190 --> 02:31:40,791
Whatever. That was pretty
cute too, you know.
2537
02:31:40,858 --> 02:31:42,793
Sometimes you
astonish me Roy.
2538
02:31:42,860 --> 02:31:45,429
Ho, sometimes I astonish
myself, miss Reid.
2539
02:31:45,496 --> 02:31:46,764
Now listen to me.
2540
02:31:46,831 --> 02:31:48,299
Your girls are
doing pretty well now,
2541
02:31:48,365 --> 02:31:50,334
you don't have
any more excuses.
2542
02:31:50,401 --> 02:31:52,837
The entire world desperate
to meet you, Roy.
2543
02:31:52,903 --> 02:31:55,873
How about you start with
my home town. Huh?
2544
02:31:57,374 --> 02:31:58,309
New York?
2545
02:31:58,375 --> 02:31:59,310
Why sure!
2546
02:31:59,376 --> 02:32:01,312
I think that hard-bitten New
Yorkers could use a visit
2547
02:32:01,378 --> 02:32:03,280
from a simple country
doctor like yourself.
2548
02:32:03,347 --> 02:32:05,416
What do you say?
2549
02:32:07,251 --> 02:32:08,919
Sure, why not?
2550
02:32:08,986 --> 02:32:11,222
That's the spirit.
cheers.
2551
02:32:11,288 --> 02:32:14,325
Don't you worry Roy, New
York is gonna love you.
2552
02:32:16,327 --> 02:32:19,964
And the celebrated miracle
Dr. Dafoe left the wilds of
2553
02:32:20,030 --> 02:32:24,668
Canada to be honoured by the
citizens of New York City,
2554
02:32:24,735 --> 02:32:28,539
which took the little doctor
to its hard-boiled heart.
2555
02:32:28,606 --> 02:32:31,542
He is an affirmation of life
at a time when all over the
2556
02:32:31,609 --> 02:32:35,479
world human life has become
so cheap and incidental.
2557
02:32:35,546 --> 02:32:37,448
...out of the danger period?
2558
02:32:38,315 --> 02:32:40,184
Well quintuplets have never
lived this long, you know.
2559
02:32:40,251 --> 02:32:42,186
You just have to take
it one day at a time.
2560
02:32:42,253 --> 02:32:44,588
Doctor Dafoe, what did the
quinties look like when
2561
02:32:44,655 --> 02:32:46,991
they were born.
2562
02:32:47,057 --> 02:32:48,893
Like rats.
[laughing]
2563
02:32:48,959 --> 02:32:50,828
Little rats.
[laughs]
2564
02:32:50,895 --> 02:32:53,330
Doctor, doctor, were you
surprised to hear you'd been
2565
02:32:53,397 --> 02:32:55,900
nominated For
the Nobel prize?
2566
02:32:55,966 --> 02:32:57,234
I felt honoured.
2567
02:32:57,301 --> 02:32:58,836
How about when the king of
England gave you the order
2568
02:32:58,903 --> 02:33:00,004
of the British Empire?
2569
02:33:00,070 --> 02:33:01,205
Yeah.
2570
02:33:01,272 --> 02:33:02,473
Of course I haven't
really done anything.
2571
02:33:02,540 --> 02:33:03,841
Just delivered a few babies.
2572
02:33:03,908 --> 02:33:05,342
[laughing]
2573
02:33:05,409 --> 02:33:06,544
Oh doctor, doctor!
2574
02:33:06,610 --> 02:33:07,845
Do you think New
York mothers spend
2575
02:33:07,912 --> 02:33:10,247
too much time in night clubs?
2576
02:33:10,314 --> 02:33:11,649
Wouldn't know.
2577
02:33:11,715 --> 02:33:12,917
They don't up north.
2578
02:33:12,983 --> 02:33:14,318
Just make a lot of
babies up there.
2579
02:33:14,385 --> 02:33:15,319
[laughing]
2580
02:33:15,386 --> 02:33:17,755
Oh doc, are you gonna
do Helena's show doc?
2581
02:33:17,821 --> 02:33:19,156
He'd better do my show!
2582
02:33:19,223 --> 02:33:20,157
[laughing]
2583
02:33:20,224 --> 02:33:21,158
Sure why not?
2584
02:33:21,225 --> 02:33:23,060
[laughing]
2585
02:33:23,127 --> 02:33:24,895
Doctor what
about birth control?
2586
02:33:24,962 --> 02:33:26,830
What about it?
2587
02:33:26,897 --> 02:33:27,831
That'll be all for today.
2588
02:33:27,898 --> 02:33:29,233
That'll be all for today.
Thank you.
2589
02:33:29,300 --> 02:33:31,335
Doctor Dafoe is a guest this
afternoon of Mr. William
2590
02:33:31,402 --> 02:33:33,604
Randolph Hearst.
2591
02:33:34,171 --> 02:33:36,240
Thank you doctor.
2592
02:33:40,377 --> 02:33:46,450
♪ [singing Anything Goes] ♪
2593
02:33:51,255 --> 02:33:53,457
Mister Hearst,
excuse me Mr. Hearst.
2594
02:33:54,158 --> 02:33:56,560
May I introduce
doctor Roy Dafoe.
2595
02:33:56,627 --> 02:34:00,297
Roy, Mr. William
Randolph Hearst.
2596
02:34:02,433 --> 02:34:05,669
So you're the genuine
article, Dafoe.
2597
02:34:05,736 --> 02:34:07,571
A real hero, hmm?
2598
02:34:07,638 --> 02:34:09,073
All I claim to do
is deliver babies.
2599
02:34:09,139 --> 02:34:12,643
You are an
uncommon man, doc.
2600
02:34:12,710 --> 02:34:14,078
You work for the
betterment of others
2601
02:34:14,144 --> 02:34:17,481
with no regard for
your own gain.
2602
02:34:17,548 --> 02:34:18,582
Champagne, sir?
2603
02:34:18,649 --> 02:34:21,185
I hope you have the
good sense to profit
2604
02:34:21,251 --> 02:34:23,153
from all of this.
2605
02:34:23,220 --> 02:34:24,655
You're not a young man.
2606
02:34:24,722 --> 02:34:27,424
You gotta look
after for your old age.
2607
02:34:28,092 --> 02:34:33,530
Say doc, why don't we
cook up some kind of book?
2608
02:34:34,531 --> 02:34:37,267
Your experiences
with the quints.
2609
02:34:37,334 --> 02:34:38,502
You could write it
and I could print.
2610
02:34:38,569 --> 02:34:39,503
[laughs]
2611
02:34:39,570 --> 02:34:41,271
Oh no, Mr. Hearst
I'm not a writer.
2612
02:34:41,338 --> 02:34:43,907
Oh they're a dime a dozen.
2613
02:34:43,974 --> 02:34:45,676
Deal?
2614
02:34:48,779 --> 02:34:50,214
[laughs]
2615
02:34:50,447 --> 02:34:52,116
Al?
2616
02:34:57,955 --> 02:35:00,190
Mister Hearst, I don't
rate an introduction?
2617
02:35:00,257 --> 02:35:01,925
My dear!
2618
02:35:01,992 --> 02:35:04,695
Doc, this is Sally Rand.
2619
02:35:05,195 --> 02:35:07,431
I'm honoured to meet you.
2620
02:35:08,999 --> 02:35:10,434
Aren't you cute?
2621
02:35:10,501 --> 02:35:11,602
We still have a lot
of ground to cover,
2622
02:35:11,669 --> 02:35:13,904
come on doc.
2623
02:35:13,971 --> 02:35:15,706
Come on doc!
2624
02:35:18,375 --> 02:35:19,910
Hey!
2625
02:35:20,110 --> 02:35:21,478
Why don't you come
and see my show?
2626
02:35:21,545 --> 02:35:23,747
Sure, why not?
2627
02:35:24,848 --> 02:35:26,550
That's good doc.
2628
02:35:26,617 --> 02:35:28,952
That's very good.
2629
02:35:49,239 --> 02:35:56,013
[applause]
2630
02:36:11,395 --> 02:36:12,863
What is it?
2631
02:36:12,930 --> 02:36:15,099
It's a Manhattan, what else?
2632
02:36:15,332 --> 02:36:17,534
There's mud in
your eye, Roy.
2633
02:36:17,901 --> 02:36:19,303
Huh!
2634
02:36:21,138 --> 02:36:23,640
Ouh!
2635
02:36:23,707 --> 02:36:25,876
Extraordinary.
2636
02:36:25,943 --> 02:36:29,913
My, my being here with you.
2637
02:36:29,980 --> 02:36:33,817
It's like a, a fairy tale.
2638
02:36:33,884 --> 02:36:36,320
It's a fairy tale that
doesn't ever need end, Roy.
2639
02:36:36,386 --> 02:36:38,922
You just keep
those quints alive.
2640
02:37:09,119 --> 02:37:10,454
Ah madame Dionne!
2641
02:37:10,521 --> 02:37:12,089
Come in.
2642
02:37:18,896 --> 02:37:20,197
What is this smell?
2643
02:37:20,264 --> 02:37:23,167
Antiseptic, to
prevent germs.
2644
02:37:24,168 --> 02:37:27,304
Yes of course, germs.
2645
02:37:27,371 --> 02:37:28,872
It's a hospital madame.
2646
02:37:28,939 --> 02:37:30,274
Not a home.
2647
02:37:30,340 --> 02:37:33,076
You're right Marie.
2648
02:37:33,911 --> 02:37:36,180
This is not a home.
2649
02:37:51,395 --> 02:37:54,565
See madame, we
painted the beds.
2650
02:37:55,132 --> 02:37:59,903
Green for Cecile,
Mauve for Annette,
2651
02:38:04,441 --> 02:38:09,880
Pink for Yvonne,
Yellow for Emilie,
2652
02:38:12,549 --> 02:38:15,118
And blue for Marie.
2653
02:38:15,185 --> 02:38:17,855
So we can
identify the babies.
2654
02:38:17,921 --> 02:38:20,490
Sometimes we're
not too sure.
2655
02:38:26,463 --> 02:38:28,165
They're so thin.
2656
02:38:28,232 --> 02:38:31,034
The doctor says it's better
to keep their weight low.
2657
02:38:31,101 --> 02:38:33,270
He won't let them eat candy.
2658
02:38:33,770 --> 02:38:35,539
Madame Dionne, I'm sorry but
I'm going to have to ask you
2659
02:38:35,606 --> 02:38:36,840
to leave.
2660
02:38:36,907 --> 02:38:39,142
Some of the local children
have whooping cough and no
2661
02:38:39,209 --> 02:38:41,545
one from the village is
allowed into the nursery.
2662
02:38:41,612 --> 02:38:43,914
None of my children
at home are sick.
2663
02:38:43,981 --> 02:38:45,983
They may be infected and the
symptoms haven't yet appeared.
2664
02:38:46,049 --> 02:38:47,584
[crying]
2665
02:38:47,651 --> 02:38:49,353
Don't.
Do not touch her!
2666
02:38:49,419 --> 02:38:52,022
We cannot risk infection.
2667
02:38:55,158 --> 02:38:59,529
[babies crying]
2668
02:39:11,108 --> 02:39:14,511
For you, direct from
Saks Fifth Avenue.
2669
02:39:14,578 --> 02:39:15,979
Ohhh!
2670
02:39:21,351 --> 02:39:22,619
Ha! Ha!
2671
02:39:22,686 --> 02:39:28,191
And won't my babies love these?
Look.
2672
02:39:28,692 --> 02:39:30,360
Mister Dionne.
2673
02:39:30,928 --> 02:39:31,929
Hmm.
2674
02:39:35,032 --> 02:39:37,301
Mister Dionne, come in.
2675
02:39:37,367 --> 02:39:39,469
Free access!
2676
02:39:39,736 --> 02:39:42,072
That's what the
government promised us.
2677
02:39:42,139 --> 02:39:43,774
Free access to
the babies anytime,
2678
02:39:43,840 --> 02:39:46,176
day or night.
2679
02:39:46,476 --> 02:39:48,946
But when my wife goes
for her first visit,
2680
02:39:49,012 --> 02:39:51,815
she's thrown out as
if she had the plague!
2681
02:39:51,882 --> 02:39:56,086
Mister Dionne, if, if your
wife was asked to leave.
2682
02:39:56,153 --> 02:39:58,855
I'm sure it was for a
sound medical reason.
2683
02:39:58,922 --> 02:40:03,193
And that's
perfectly within the rules.
2684
02:40:03,260 --> 02:40:05,796
Thank you for educating me.
2685
02:40:07,431 --> 02:40:10,767
My own personal
miracle doctor.
2686
02:40:10,834 --> 02:40:13,403
The toast of New York!
2687
02:40:16,173 --> 02:40:18,175
Let me tell you something,
when the mother of the
2688
02:40:18,241 --> 02:40:20,143
Dionne quintuplets wants
to see her babies no one's
2689
02:40:20,210 --> 02:40:22,379
gonna stop her.
2690
02:40:22,446 --> 02:40:24,448
No one!
2691
02:40:36,259 --> 02:40:38,795
Here I am with
the president.
2692
02:40:38,862 --> 02:40:40,697
Oh here here here I'm
with that, uh, that a movie
2693
02:40:40,764 --> 02:40:44,501
producer, from
Twentieth Century Fox.
2694
02:40:44,568 --> 02:40:46,703
They plan to
make a movie about me.
2695
02:40:46,770 --> 02:40:48,372
Oh oh oh.
2696
02:40:48,438 --> 02:40:50,007
Ah ah extraordinary.
2697
02:40:50,073 --> 02:40:54,511
It was me who told to
misses Dionne to leave.
2698
02:40:54,945 --> 02:40:56,947
You've done well Lena.
2699
02:40:57,014 --> 02:41:00,817
This I think is
quite special.
2700
02:41:07,624 --> 02:41:11,595
It's, uh called a Manhattan.
2701
02:41:13,897 --> 02:41:16,600
To old friends.
2702
02:41:23,240 --> 02:41:24,641
Hmm.
2703
02:41:26,243 --> 02:41:30,847
I have a favor to ask
of you, "old friend".
2704
02:41:31,081 --> 02:41:32,182
My book.
2705
02:41:32,249 --> 02:41:35,185
About my
experiences with the quints.
2706
02:41:35,252 --> 02:41:37,954
I was hoping that
you'd write the foreword.
2707
02:41:38,021 --> 02:41:39,623
You wrote a book?
2708
02:41:39,689 --> 02:41:41,525
Without telling me?
2709
02:41:41,591 --> 02:41:44,161
How can I endorse your book,
when it would be in direct
2710
02:41:44,227 --> 02:41:47,764
competition with my own
autobiography which is being
2711
02:41:47,831 --> 02:41:50,467
written as we speak!
2712
02:41:53,203 --> 02:41:55,439
I see.
2713
02:41:59,843 --> 02:42:01,745
Thank you.
2714
02:42:08,285 --> 02:42:10,487
[babies crying]
2715
02:42:10,554 --> 02:42:13,957
My medical philosophy, as it
relates to the care of infants,
2716
02:42:14,024 --> 02:42:16,993
is very simple.
2717
02:42:17,427 --> 02:42:20,263
Sunlight, clean water, a
balanced diet and plenty of
2718
02:42:20,330 --> 02:42:21,431
fresh air.
2719
02:42:21,498 --> 02:42:23,100
And look at the results.
2720
02:42:23,166 --> 02:42:25,035
I can't take this anymore.
2721
02:42:25,102 --> 02:42:27,137
Take the quints!
2722
02:42:27,938 --> 02:42:29,306
Make up for Mr. Dietrich!
2723
02:42:29,372 --> 02:42:31,741
Sir, sir, you must comply
with my regulations and wear
2724
02:42:31,808 --> 02:42:33,844
your hospital gown.
-Sure thing doc.
2725
02:42:33,910 --> 02:42:34,845
There can't be
no exceptions.
2726
02:42:34,911 --> 02:42:35,846
Bring me one of
those damn gowns.
2727
02:42:35,912 --> 02:42:39,015
We can get it an extra gown.
2728
02:42:41,418 --> 02:42:44,688
Sorry sir, not that I know
anything about acting sir,
2729
02:42:44,754 --> 02:42:48,091
but when you say that bit
about my medical philosophy,
2730
02:42:48,158 --> 02:42:52,162
you might, uh, emphasise
the word "fresh air".
2731
02:42:52,229 --> 02:42:53,330
Fresh air!
2732
02:42:53,396 --> 02:42:55,499
Uh tha, tha, tha,
that's how I do it.
2733
02:42:55,565 --> 02:42:58,101
Certainly doc.
Thanks for the tip.
2734
02:42:58,869 --> 02:43:00,137
Sir excuse me, sir.
2735
02:43:00,203 --> 02:43:01,705
Sir, sir, if, if you
would allow me one small
2736
02:43:01,771 --> 02:43:05,642
observation, Mr. Dietrich's
accent is sounding very
2737
02:43:05,709 --> 02:43:08,245
German.
-We'll take care of it, doc!
2738
02:43:08,311 --> 02:43:10,547
Get going!
We're dyin' here!
2739
02:43:10,814 --> 02:43:11,848
Hey doc!
2740
02:43:11,915 --> 02:43:13,583
Where is nurse de Keyzer?
2741
02:43:13,950 --> 02:43:15,051
Lena?
2742
02:43:15,118 --> 02:43:16,353
Uh I had to let her go.
2743
02:43:16,419 --> 02:43:18,755
Her work had
become unsatisfactory.
2744
02:43:18,822 --> 02:43:20,190
Action.
2745
02:43:20,257 --> 02:43:22,926
My philosophy as it relates
to the care of infants,
2746
02:43:22,993 --> 02:43:24,561
is very simple.
2747
02:43:24,628 --> 02:43:25,629
Cut!
2748
02:43:25,695 --> 02:43:26,763
What's going on?
2749
02:43:26,830 --> 02:43:29,232
Somebody do something
about that damn crowd.
2750
02:43:30,167 --> 02:43:33,203
Nurse LeMoyne, take the
girls out on the balcony.
2751
02:43:33,270 --> 02:43:35,005
Doctor, I think
they're tired.
2752
02:43:35,071 --> 02:43:39,643
Ah. A little airing
won't hurt them.
2753
02:43:39,709 --> 02:43:42,145
[crowd chanting:]
We want the quints!
2754
02:43:43,947 --> 02:43:48,852
[cheering]
2755
02:43:59,462 --> 02:44:01,798
That's a girl.
2756
02:44:05,936 --> 02:44:07,504
What are you doing?
2757
02:44:07,571 --> 02:44:09,339
I'd rather take Yvonne
out five times than tire
2758
02:44:09,406 --> 02:44:11,208
each of the girls.
2759
02:44:11,274 --> 02:44:15,612
Anyway who's going to
know the difference?
2760
02:44:16,947 --> 02:44:23,353
[cheering]
2761
02:44:50,981 --> 02:44:53,883
Chez Alphonse snack bar.
2762
02:44:53,950 --> 02:44:55,819
If you really want to
hear about the true story of
2763
02:44:55,885 --> 02:44:57,921
Elzire and Oliva Dionne,
2764
02:44:57,988 --> 02:44:59,889
I'm, I'm the brother of the
father of the Dionne quints.
2765
02:44:59,956 --> 02:45:02,292
Yes, Yes.
I'm the uncle.
2766
02:45:02,359 --> 02:45:07,631
So I say to Elzire: "Elzire,
you had five babies"
2767
02:45:08,565 --> 02:45:12,168
And she said: "Yes I know."
2768
02:45:24,848 --> 02:45:27,450
It's after visiting hours.
2769
02:45:39,095 --> 02:45:42,499
Enjoy your visit
madame, monsieur.
2770
02:45:43,300 --> 02:45:45,368
Thank you.
2771
02:45:47,570 --> 02:45:50,006
C'est maman, Yvonne.
2772
02:45:52,175 --> 02:45:54,277
You're sure it's Yvonne.
2773
02:45:54,878 --> 02:45:57,280
The nurses have given
them each a colour.
2774
02:45:57,347 --> 02:46:00,150
But I don't need
colours to tell them apart.
2775
02:46:00,617 --> 02:46:02,752
[crying]
2776
02:46:02,819 --> 02:46:04,487
Cécile, it's maman.
2777
02:46:05,922 --> 02:46:11,594
Maman and papa.
2778
02:46:11,661 --> 02:46:14,130
They don't recognize us.
2779
02:46:15,665 --> 02:46:17,867
[baby crying]
2780
02:46:19,636 --> 02:46:22,572
Sir, ma'am,
you'll have to go.
2781
02:46:22,972 --> 02:46:24,574
We have a right to be here.
2782
02:46:24,641 --> 02:46:26,609
This is an unauthorized
visit, Mr. Dionne.
2783
02:46:26,676 --> 02:46:29,145
You can only enter with
the doctor's permission.
2784
02:46:29,212 --> 02:46:32,782
I advise you to leave peacefully
or I'll have to evict you.
2785
02:46:33,183 --> 02:46:34,584
Go ahead!
2786
02:46:34,651 --> 02:46:35,618
Go ahead and try!
2787
02:46:35,685 --> 02:46:37,487
Very well!
2788
02:46:43,326 --> 02:46:46,162
Let him go!
Let him go!
2789
02:46:46,596 --> 02:46:48,732
[crying]
2790
02:46:49,099 --> 02:46:50,433
Hey look!
2791
02:47:15,892 --> 02:47:18,395
So distressing
for my girls.
2792
02:47:43,019 --> 02:47:45,955
[applause]
2793
02:47:55,832 --> 02:47:58,635
Oliva, this
isn't going to work.
2794
02:48:00,403 --> 02:48:03,573
Dafoe goes to Carnegie Hall
and everyone listens to him.
2795
02:48:03,640 --> 02:48:06,509
And all they know is
his side of the story.
2796
02:48:06,576 --> 02:48:07,744
We got a full house.
2797
02:48:07,811 --> 02:48:09,712
The Dionne name is magic.
2798
02:48:09,779 --> 02:48:12,148
The tour's already sold out.
2799
02:48:19,456 --> 02:48:21,024
Mister Halperin, this place.
2800
02:48:21,090 --> 02:48:22,659
It's not what we discussed.
2801
02:48:22,725 --> 02:48:24,861
We talked about
a lecture tour.
2802
02:48:24,928 --> 02:48:27,263
Look, you said you wanted to
tell your story to the people.
2803
02:48:27,330 --> 02:48:30,166
Well, that's
who's out there.
2804
02:48:30,667 --> 02:48:33,703
Do me a favour: glam her
up for the next show okay?
2805
02:48:34,504 --> 02:48:38,174
[applause]
2806
02:48:59,963 --> 02:49:01,664
And now ladies
and gentlemen,
2807
02:49:01,731 --> 02:49:05,301
It's not often that we stop
to ponder the true meaning
2808
02:49:05,368 --> 02:49:08,271
of life in all
its wonderment.
2809
02:49:08,338 --> 02:49:11,307
You've heard about the
Dionne quintuplets and now
2810
02:49:11,374 --> 02:49:14,077
for the first time on
any stage in America!
2811
02:49:14,143 --> 02:49:20,583
Right here tonight, the parents
of the Dionne quintuplets!
2812
02:49:20,650 --> 02:49:25,321
[applause]
2813
02:49:52,815 --> 02:49:57,020
I am Oliva Dionne and
this is my wife Elzire.
2814
02:49:57,086 --> 02:49:59,522
Where are the quints?
2815
02:50:01,157 --> 02:50:03,993
They're back home.
2816
02:50:04,060 --> 02:50:06,829
But they aren't
really at home.
2817
02:50:06,896 --> 02:50:10,833
And this is why my wife and
I came here to speak to you.
2818
02:50:10,900 --> 02:50:12,068
To tell you the truth.
2819
02:50:12,135 --> 02:50:14,070
We want the quints!
2820
02:50:14,137 --> 02:50:21,110
Audience:
We want the quints!
2821
02:50:26,149 --> 02:50:28,484
Listen.
We're good people.
2822
02:50:28,551 --> 02:50:29,652
Don't get too close!
2823
02:50:29,719 --> 02:50:31,988
I don't want to get
pregnant with five babies!
2824
02:50:32,055 --> 02:50:34,324
[laughing]
2825
02:50:34,390 --> 02:50:37,393
Audience:
We want the quints!
2826
02:50:47,370 --> 02:50:50,073
Any of you out
there have kids?
2827
02:50:50,139 --> 02:50:53,910
Anyone of you out
there who love their kids?
2828
02:50:57,080 --> 02:50:59,983
You want to try and imagine
what it's like to have
2829
02:51:00,049 --> 02:51:04,287
someone take your
kids away from you!
2830
02:51:05,221 --> 02:51:08,591
You know how that feels?
2831
02:51:09,092 --> 02:51:11,794
How she feels!
2832
02:51:14,864 --> 02:51:18,868
She's a good mother,
she loves her kids.
2833
02:51:20,837 --> 02:51:24,841
She almost died giving birth
to her little girls and,
2834
02:51:24,907 --> 02:51:26,009
and she's never been
given a chance
2835
02:51:26,075 --> 02:51:28,878
to hold them in her arms.
2836
02:51:31,748 --> 02:51:37,153
They don't even
know who she is.
2837
02:51:42,058 --> 02:51:47,697
[applause]
2838
02:52:13,790 --> 02:52:16,659
Oliva and Elzire Dionne,
parents of the world famous
2839
02:52:16,726 --> 02:52:19,929
quintuplets are back
in the news again.
2840
02:52:19,996 --> 02:52:22,999
Yes, forever in search of
new and novels ways to
2841
02:52:23,066 --> 02:52:26,469
exploit their quints, poppa
and momma Dionne have taken
2842
02:52:26,536 --> 02:52:29,439
their show on the road.
2843
02:52:32,442 --> 02:52:34,744
Trouble is,
without the quinties,
2844
02:52:34,811 --> 02:52:37,280
momma and poppa Dionne
aren't exactly welcome.
2845
02:52:37,346 --> 02:52:40,349
I don't want to get
pregnant with five babies!
2846
02:52:41,684 --> 02:52:45,354
Boy! What some people
won't do for a buck.
2847
02:52:48,958 --> 02:52:51,127
This is an embarrassment.
2848
02:52:51,828 --> 02:52:53,429
Dionne may be an
embarrassment,
2849
02:52:53,496 --> 02:52:55,665
but the quints are an
entirely different matter.
2850
02:52:55,732 --> 02:53:00,436
Their movie "The Country
Doctor" is a box office smash.
2851
02:53:00,703 --> 02:53:02,371
The contract with twentieth
century fox amounts to three
2852
02:53:02,438 --> 02:53:05,708
hundred thousand
dollars for the quints.
2853
02:53:05,775 --> 02:53:07,410
Three hundred
thousand dollars?
2854
02:53:07,477 --> 02:53:09,712
And that's just
the beginning.
2855
02:53:09,779 --> 02:53:12,181
Quints continue
to draw tourists.
2856
02:53:12,248 --> 02:53:14,617
There seems to be no end to
the fascination for them.
2857
02:53:14,684 --> 02:53:18,688
And the economic impact
is transforming the area.
2858
02:53:18,755 --> 02:53:19,822
Welfare is down.
2859
02:53:19,889 --> 02:53:21,524
Businesses are flourishing.
2860
02:53:21,591 --> 02:53:23,893
And what was once
our poorest area,
2861
02:53:23,960 --> 02:53:25,695
is fast
becoming our richest.
2862
02:53:25,762 --> 02:53:28,564
If this keeps up, our
projections show more income
2863
02:53:28,631 --> 02:53:30,266
coming out of the quints
than we're getting from
2864
02:53:30,333 --> 02:53:31,667
Niagara Falls.
2865
02:53:31,734 --> 02:53:33,703
The tax dollars
will be huge.
2866
02:53:33,770 --> 02:53:35,204
Moneymaker.
2867
02:53:35,271 --> 02:53:37,106
In the middle
of a depression.
2868
02:53:37,173 --> 02:53:39,275
It's very interesting.
2869
02:53:39,342 --> 02:53:43,980
In the short term. When the
guardianship bill runs out,
2870
02:53:44,046 --> 02:53:45,848
Dionne gets the quints back.
2871
02:53:45,915 --> 02:53:47,750
Taking all that
revenue with him.
2872
02:53:47,817 --> 02:53:50,753
Okay, what are the options?
2873
02:53:51,354 --> 02:53:54,290
The government of
premier Hepburn taking into
2874
02:53:54,357 --> 02:53:56,626
consideration recent actions
from the parents of the
2875
02:53:56,692 --> 02:53:59,962
Dionne quintuplets, such
actions being considered
2876
02:54:00,029 --> 02:54:04,667
disgraceful and further
proof of the parents'
2877
02:54:04,734 --> 02:54:08,237
continued attempts to
exploit the quintuplets,
2878
02:54:08,304 --> 02:54:10,606
will introduce a bill
extending the guardianship
2879
02:54:10,673 --> 02:54:16,245
of the girls in order to insure
their health and safety.
2880
02:54:16,312 --> 02:54:18,080
The quints will remain
under the protection of the
2881
02:54:18,147 --> 02:54:23,319
government until they
reach the age of eighteen.
2882
02:54:43,606 --> 02:54:46,008
Five minutes folks.
2883
02:54:51,247 --> 02:54:56,085
This is an offer from
Stork Cleaning Powder.
2884
02:54:56,285 --> 02:54:57,854
Twenty thousand dollars
for the quints to pose and
2885
02:54:57,920 --> 02:54:59,488
endorse the product.
2886
02:54:59,555 --> 02:55:01,424
We've never
used that product.
2887
02:55:01,490 --> 02:55:04,227
Come on Roy, this
is advertising.
2888
02:55:04,293 --> 02:55:08,497
Well I don't know
about these things.
2889
02:55:09,065 --> 02:55:10,600
What about that
film you just made.
2890
02:55:10,666 --> 02:55:11,601
Well it's different.
2891
02:55:11,667 --> 02:55:13,135
It is educational.
2892
02:55:13,202 --> 02:55:14,470
And very profitable.
2893
02:55:14,537 --> 02:55:16,472
Let us not forget, doctor,
that costs here at the
2894
02:55:16,539 --> 02:55:18,774
hospital are rising.
2895
02:55:18,841 --> 02:55:21,711
And as the quints official
guardian's would it be fair
2896
02:55:21,777 --> 02:55:23,179
to them not to take
advantage of these
2897
02:55:23,246 --> 02:55:25,882
opportunities to build them
up a nice little nest egg?
2898
02:55:25,948 --> 02:55:28,384
Sure, but only if my
girls endorse products
2899
02:55:28,451 --> 02:55:30,186
they actually use.
2900
02:55:30,253 --> 02:55:32,488
It would be
dishonest otherwise.
2901
02:55:32,555 --> 02:55:35,157
Quaker Oats wants you
in the picture too!
2902
02:55:35,224 --> 02:55:36,425
Couldn't.
2903
02:55:36,492 --> 02:55:38,361
Come on Roy, you
deserve something
2904
02:55:38,427 --> 02:55:40,596
for all your hard work.
2905
02:55:42,298 --> 02:55:45,334
Doc, I don't know what
you think about this but,
2906
02:55:45,401 --> 02:55:47,937
huh, the premier has been
thinking about of improving
2907
02:55:48,004 --> 02:55:50,506
things around here.
2908
02:55:50,573 --> 02:55:52,742
There should be regular
scheduled viewings of the
2909
02:55:52,808 --> 02:55:55,044
quints, for the tourists.
2910
02:55:56,045 --> 02:55:58,047
Now we don't propose
to charge admission.
2911
02:55:58,114 --> 02:56:00,516
It should all be tastefully
done and with the girls'
2912
02:56:00,583 --> 02:56:02,752
best interest in mind.
2913
02:56:02,818 --> 02:56:05,588
Hmm.
2914
02:56:08,891 --> 02:56:12,228
We wouldn't want to
exploit them in any way.
2915
02:56:14,363 --> 02:56:17,433

I'm sure they'll love it.

not allowed to have sugar.

Please.
2934

Thank you.

five hundred
million dollars.
