Up the Sandbox

Cha-cha-cha-cha!

Wait, wait, wait. Look at this.

Look at that, little sweet.

Look at that, little sweetheart.

Hey, can I touch your nose?

Yeah. Come on, sweetie.

Come on, sweet angel.

Boom! Peter! Peter!

Look at that face! Look at that face!

Mommy!

I have to wash your sister, too.

Okay, my sweet boy.

Yeah. Yeah.

Ahh... scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing!

Margaret!

Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

Oh, good, good, good, good, good!

Where are you going? Where are you going?

Lizzy! Get the chain, honey.

You got it?

Yeah.

Daddy thanks you.

Ooh! Look at us!

Come on, jump up here. Come on.

I think mommy meant that crayons are not poisonous,

but crayons are not good to eat.

Margaret! Honey!

Hi, baby! Hi.

Kiss me too, daddy!

We were getting worried about you.

Well, I let three buses go by.

Then the one I got on was still so damn crowded,

I got off and walked.

Here, hold still.

Let daddy take his coat off.

Want to give it to daddy?

Nothing much. You hungry?

Yeah, I am.

Put me back into the tub.

You hurt my hand!

You hurt my hand!

What are you doing to your mother?

What are you doing to your mother?

Oh... hold my legs.

Okay.

Thank you.

Like that?

Cut it out.

Or like that?

Cut it out.

Or like that?

Oh!

I dare you.

I dare you.

See this line?

Bad.

Ohhh.

You just crossed the line.

You touched me.

Oh! Oh!

The kids, the kids, the kids!

Ow! Oh, my toe!

Shh! Quiet, you ruffian.

Stop it.

Okay. What happened?

Ohh! No fair. No fair, you son of a bitch!

Look, I mean, you could have had the decency

to call me a little bit earlier.

Then I could have done something about it.

All right, all right. Never mind.

That woman is absolutely untrustworthy!

Paul, you think you could stay with the kids

for a couple of hours?

In 20 minutes.

Uh... no, no, you better go ahead.

Okay.

What about Eleanor?

Hi!

Hello, sweetheart.

Robby!

What do you want?

Can I play in your room?

I can make it in less than two hours.

What about Paul?

Margaret, he supports three people,

I support three people.

Did you ever ask yourself

why you consider his time so much more important?

You can leave rob by with me this afternoon

if you like.

Try to be back 00, okay?

Okay.

Hey, sweetie,

okay.

I appreciate it, Eleanor.

Can I bring you anything?

When did it start?

Couple of weeks, I guess.

Hmm.

All right, sit up, please, Margaret.

Again.

Again.

In the Columbia forum.

You must be proud of him.

And drop the gown, please.

I liked his point

about oppressed people accepting their slavery,

and then, when things improve,

when they raise the expectations,

then they revolt.

Lie down, please.

Your hands are cold.

Being involved with important ideas.

And here I am looking after a handful of women

on the upper West Side.

Maybe you should change your work...

Go someplace else where you feel more needed.

Sit up, please.

Anything I can take for it?

Yes, there is.

A pregnancy test.

Oh?

Little lady.

I wish you and your brilliant husband

the best of luck.

Hi, honey!

What a surprise.

Hey. Hey, is something wrong?

Nice to meet you.

What time does that meeting start?

30.

Hey, did you get to the doctor on time?

Yeah.

Everything all right?

Fine.

Dr. Bodin...

Um...

Could I speak with you for just a minute, please?

Of course, Mrs. Reynolds.

Um...

A-Are you having an affair with my husband?

Well, as a matter of fact, I am.

You are?

Yes. Of course.

A closer relationship is very helpful in our work.

To get rid of the superficial inhibitions

that exist between colleagues.

Um... it-it does sound... It sounds reasonable.

Where do you do it?

Do you do it in your, uh, your apartment?

No, no.

Oh, Mrs. Reynolds,

he loves you very much.

He told me.

He told you?

Yes, he did.

He worships you.

Do you mean that?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Hi, ladies. Ladies.

Hi, Jo.

How you feeling?

Fine, thank you. How are you?

Hey, listen. Did you see this?

Yeah, congratulations.

Oh, my god! Arnold!

What a fantastic picture.

Thank you.

You mean he won that case?

Yes.

Yeah, people have been calling me up all morning.

What for?

Here we go.

When something like this finally happens to you.

That you win a case against a giant corporation.

But what Kathy means is, what do you do?

What do you mean?

Supposing you did get your picture in the times,

do you think Arnie would be showing it to everybody?

Absolutely. Yes, I do.

I mean, as long as you go home and do the dishes.

Let me tell you something, Connie...

Arnie does the dishes plenty.

Wait a minute, baby.

The important thing is to stand up for somebody.

My title was administrative assistant.

That means gofer.

When they were sending out for coffee and sandwiches,

that was me.

To pay for the cab fare and babysitting,

so I quit the job and fired the babysitter.

She was messing up the kids enough

with her own problems.

Anyway, as I was saying, I was reading this study,

and it said that the best mothers are those

that are able to maintain their own identities.

To be a good mother,

you got to learn to eat shit.
