:10:00
l don't have a car.
:10:03
l been staying across the river
at Robeline's boarding house.
:10:06
That's quite a walk.
:10:09
Ruth Robeline.
:10:11
Now, there is a story for you.
:10:14
She is a troubled, twisted soul.
:10:17
Her whole life has been
an experiment in terror.
:10:20
Her husband got killed
in World War ll.
:10:23
Then her son got killed in Vietnam.
:10:26
When it comes to suffering, she is
right up there with Elizabeth Taylor.
:10:30
l had no idea.
:10:35
Hello!
:10:36
-Clairee!
-Good morning. Good morning!
:10:38
l'd like to introduce you to
the former first lady of Chinquapin...
:10:42
-...Miss Belcher.
-l'd like you to meet Annelle.
:10:45
l'm a little embarrassed.
l'm windblown.
:10:47
l've just been to the dedication
of the children's park.
:10:51
How did that go?
:10:52
Beautifully.
:10:53
Except....
:10:55
Janice van Meter got hit
with a baseball. lt was fabulous.
:10:59
Was she hurt?
:11:00
l doubt it. She got hit in the head.
:11:03
Janice van Meter is the current
mayor's wife. We hate her.
:11:07
They named the new park
after Clairee's late husband.
:11:10
This town is so proud of her.
:11:12
That's nice.
:11:14
What's your family name, dear?
:11:17
My married name is Dupuy...
:11:20
...but l'm originally from Zwolle.
:11:22
How nice.
:11:24
There's towels in the dryer.
Would you fold them and bring them in?
:11:27
-Sure.
-Thank you.
:11:30
Sweet gal. Where'd you find her?
:11:32
Yesterday, when Judy quit...
:11:33
...l called up the trade school
and told them to send me a warm body.
:11:37
And Annelle was the valedictorian
of the hairdo class.
:11:41
And l think there's a story there.
:11:45
What makes you say that?
:11:46
For starters, she's married...
:11:48
...but she's living over
at Ruth Robeline's alone.
:11:53
l'd get to the bottom of this
if l were you.
:11:55
You have some silverware
you'd like to keep.
:11:58
l'm not worried about that.
She's just as sweet as she can be.
