Sounds like a hell of a stock portfolio.

To everyone who's building a rocket.

Do you know, if we stay in Beverly Hills,

even though the convention's in Santa Monica,

we'll be halfway to Pasadena.

Pasadena?

Isn't it just people with T.B.?

Jet Propulsion Laboratories and Ray Bradbury.

As much as I'd like to indulge

your Twilight Zone fantasy of being shot into space...

Believe me, it's our fantasy, too.

This is a business trip.

I don't want either of you coming back tan.

- What if I have to play golf? - As long as you lose.

Crab Colson guarantees there will be some astronauts there.

Really? My nephews would love an autograph.

Astronauts love golf. I'll see what I can do.

You're there to sell, but you're also there to listen.

Every scientist, engineer, in general, is trying

to figure out a way to put a man on the moon

or blow up Moscow,

whichever one costs more.

We have to explain to them how we can help them spend that money.

Well, it certainly would behoove us to find out...

Campbell, you do the talking. Kinsey, you do the listening.

Don, you wanted me to remind them about the congressmen.

We know. They control the purse strings.

No, they are the customer.

They want aerospace in their districts.

Let them know that we can help them

bring these contracts home.

Did you read anything that she prepared?

Maybe I should send her.

You know I'll stay out of your way.

Of course.

Lounging at the pool.

They'll think you're a young Barbara Stanwyck.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

If you're there, it will make me look less serious in the office.

Next time.

It's a week, Tweet

I suppose I can go to my parents' place in Rehoboth.

Now you're making me feel bad.

Is that the only alternative?

They keep asking to spend time with me...

us.

They're concerned.

About what?

Nothing's happening.

Why do you insist on making me angry before I go to bed?

There are some very reputable agencies.

- We can't even talk about this? - Do I have to put my foot down?

What's wrong with it?

It's someone else's child.

Once you see

a beautiful little baby, you'll fall in love.

- You know you will. - It's not natural.

I felt that way,

but it changed.

We would have our pick.

We are ideal candidates.

We have means, and we've been to doctors,

so it's on the record that it's something

we've been wanting for a long time.

Do your parents just think I say no to everything?

We're not related by blood, and you love me.

Hello.

It's me.

- What time is it? - It's 10:00. Are you sleeping?

No.

William called.

My father had a stroke.

Jesus.

Three days ago.

Gloria didn't even call me. She had William call.

Is it bad?

She said he's up and around, talking,

but she wouldn't put him on the phone.

- I'm coming to get you. - No.

Bets, it's not up for discussion. Take the kids to Francine.

I don't want to wake them.

Fine.

I'll be by in the morning.

God.

You know, I've been dreaming about a suitcase?

Everything's going to be okay.

Sure.

Everything's perfect.

I'll be by at 8.

Good-bye.

- Hello, Betty. - Hello, Gloria.

Hello, Don.

Look at the two of you.

I swear to you, the doctors say it is not serious.

We can get a room down the road at the William Penn.

Nonsense.

Where is he? Can I see him?

He's getting dressed.

They said he should do things on his own.

Come, sit.

Don't do that.

We're supposed to keep it dim. I don't know why.

Let me check on him.

William. I wasn't expecting you.

- Good morning. - Look who's here.

He doesn't seem that bad.

Don, good to see you.

Sorry about your dad.

We'll get by, right?

Judy's coming later. She's dropping the girls off at her mother's.

Gloria, everything is copasetic.

It'll be nice to see her.

It's an angel.

Hi, daddy.

That's what I needed.

Hello, Don.

- Get that look off your face. - Good to see you, Gene.

I'll take a visit from you two anyway I can get it.

Where are the munchkins?

With a neighbor.

Hey, Pop, did you see Don's car?

You finally step up to a Lincoln?

Coupe De Ville. Ice-blue. White top.

Very nice.

How you feeling, daddy?

That's a tempest in a teapot.

You should of seen her in the ambulance.

We were halfway to the hospital

before I noticed I was in my nightie.

A woman my age should not travel that way.

Wish you'd called earlier.

The other partners at Don's firm know all kinds of doctors.

In New York. Right. Where everything's better.

Always with her brow in a knit, my Ruthie here.

Ruthie, my love, have you offered everybody coffee?

I'm Betty.

Of course you are.

Gene, this is Betty, your daughter.

It's not Ruth. Ruth is dead.

Nobody wants coffee, daddy.

Don, you were able to get off work?

I'm here.

- You want a drink? - I'll get some ice.

What did the doctors say?

It's just like last time.

What?

Last time? This happened before?

Don't get mad at her. It's a couple little strokes.

Runs in the family.

You know Gene.

Always has to be the one taking care of things.

So, Don, how did you come? Did you take the Turnpike?

Yes.

Look at this. It's my lunch date.

Hello, baby. You're early.

You remember Ken and Pete?

Hello, Sheila.

Want to get in a few more meals before you lose him to the Golden West?

- What are you talking about? - We're going to Los Angeles together.

It's horrible, but somebody has to go.

Where?

- Californ-I-A. - Thank you, Pete.

Come on, Campbell.

Time to put something else in that mouth.

Nice to see you.

I was going to tell you at lunch.

Why are you going to Los Angeles?

Come on. Not here.

It just came up.

The election's not for months. We can register voters in October.

It has nothing to do with the election. You know that.

If you don't mind,

I'd rather face Mississippi and those people screaming at me

and maybe getting shot after I go to California.

Are you scared?

Don't pretend like it's not scary.

- Look, I have to go. - Why? What is so important?

It's a convention.

I'm not allowed to talk about it.

Hello, Mr. Kinsey.

Please, Hollis. It's Paul.

This is Sheila, my girlfriend.

Nice to meet you.

Did you ever really plan on going down South?

How could you ask that?

This just came up.

You can always get another job at a grocery store.

I can't just walk into an ad agency.

I can't believe you.

All you do is complain about that place and those people.

That's not true.

Well, I'm going.

I guess I'll just hop in Billy Kaplan's bus
