Reporter: And in overseas news,

president Truman told reporters today

he was confident

the proud fighting men of the United States marines

would be successful in pushing back north Korean troops

surging south across the 38th parallel.

In consultation with top officials

of the state and defense department,

Truman offered unlimited military aid to south Korea

without seeking an official declaration of war

from congress.

Man: The world, Mr. Lawrence,

is now experiencing strange astronomical phenomena.

Reports have come in from all over the globe

of inexplicable objects being sighted in the sky.

Got to check you, Otto.

a scientist like yourself believes such nonsense?

No, I'm not telling you that.

Dodd.

Like the heads of easter island.

What?

Not a sound.

Cheech says we're going to the moon.

You and cheech?

No, you moron... America.

I told him, "don't be stupid."

We got too many gooks to kill.

That mao zedung thinks he's gonna run the whole show,

be king of the world.

Is that what you want?

Be king like your dad? Sit on my throne?

The way I see it, you're on his throne.

Hey, kill the king, be the king.

That's the world.

If you're feeling sour about it, write a letter to Napoleon.

Or maybe you've come to get your revenge.

Me? Nah.

I just want a seat at the table.

Ain't no table.

There's me.

Everybody else sits on the floor.

So, what are you waiting for?

Sit, avert your eyes.

What purpose?

Woman: Careful, father!

Look, the light went out.

I love this part.

Stupid to bring your kid.

The boy's got to learn how men are.

Yeah.

But it's the last lesson he'll ever...

Dodd.

Dodd.

Dodd!

Thought hanzee goes with you on jobs?

Half-breed's in Luverne, looking for your uncle.

You're what, 15 now?

17.

Small for your age.

And, what, your dad wants you

to be some kind of... Professional?

You know, a lawyer probably.

Yeah. Suppose we could use a lawyer.

That what you want, though?

Punch a clock?

Always thought I could do what you do.

Ha ha! Bust heads?

How's that work with one arm?

I can shoot a gun.

Yeah, but... What happens when you need to reload?

I'll show you. Pull over.

Pull over.

Okay, "wild bill." How's this work?

Ready?

Mm-hmm.

Look at you.

So? What do you need me to do?

Get in the car, tough guy.

Aah-hoo-hoo!

Joe bulo says to say hi.

Well, what you gonna do, big boy?

Give us a kiss. You want a kiss?

I'll give you a kiss.

Ow! My wrist!

Aah! Aah!

Kiss the man, son.

Hurry, before he gets that sticker.

He's still standing. Hit him again.

Hit him again!

Gimme a chocolate glaze and...

And a...

An ole fashion.

An ole... an ole fa... An ole fashion.

Come on. Get some zip in ya.

God damn it!

It's on them.

Dr. emilious: Well, it's a war.

Nixon declared it.

The war on cancer.

As long as it's not a war on me.

No, no, it's not a war against you.

It's a war against your body.

Well, that doesn't sound, um... our... our doctor said that...

That's, uh, uh, uh, Dr. gerber?

Mm-hmm. Right, Dr. gerber said few weeks of chemo.

He said they caught it early. Mm-hmm.

Uh, and he thought a few weeks of chemo and...

Well, he thought she'd be out of the woods.

Your blood work and your x-rays,

these are not, as they say, good.

I'm getting worse.

Well, if by worse you mean the cancer's spreading, then... Yes.

But there is a trial, clinical trial,

that, uh, might be beneficial.

Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Mm-hmm. We'll try anything.

It's a new drug.

Let's call it "xanadu."

Is that its name?

No, that... that's just what they're calling it

for the trial.

This drug, xanadu, it... It has shown promise.

And I'll be getting that drug...

As part of the trial?

Yes. That or a placebo.

A placebo? Um...

Uh, yeah, I don't understand.

You see, in order to ascertain the effectiveness of a drug,

it has to be judged in a controlled setting

against an equal number of patients

that are not getting the drug.

And those patients, the ones not getting the drug, they get...

Well, it's like a smartie.

You know smarties.

Well, hold on. I'm confused.

You said Betsy would be part of the trial, so...

Am I getting the real drug or the fake drug?

That I can't say.

Shall I sign you up?

Ed: Oh, okay, I'm close.

Geez. It's happening.

That one stuck for sure.

Peggy: Ed. Yeah?

I got to pee.

Oh. Sure.

Oh.

Pbht!

Pbht!

Might just have ourselves a fall baby if we're...

I mean, can you imagine, you, me, and a baby?

And I'll buy the shop and...

And we'll live like three pigs in a blanket.

Ed: Probably need more space, though.

What's that, hon?

Bigger house.

Not right away, of course, but, I mean, if we have two,

let's say a boy and a girl, then they'll need their own...

You know, a yard if we get a dog.

Anyway, might have to wait on that seminar.

What?

Yeah, I thought about it, and, uh...

We just can't afford it right now, not with the...

Buying the butcher shop.

It's $500.

I mean, unless we find a cheaper one.

A cheaper course?

Yeah.

Well, what, so I can be a less-good me?

What? N-no.

I...

I-i-I'm saying...

on... on the list of priorities...

You know, th-this is our future, the shop,

and, you know, all that other stuff...

The knittin' class or...

It's not a knittin' class.

It's gonna help me reach my full potential.

Of course, and I know that.

But, hon, you're so great now,

I'm not sure if I could handle it if you got any better.

Well...

Better get dressed, yeah.

Now that we got all that mess cleaned up,

today's the first day of the rest of our lives.

Help ya?

Got some cars for sale around back.

This one's a repair.

'65 corvair... "light-handed, light-footed, lighthearted."

I'm not sure what that means.

Oh, uh, no.

Can't have ya looking inside.

See, I'm entrusted

with the safety of the customer's effects, so...

It's part of the, uh, code, so...

Excuse me. All right?

That's, uh... like I said, what's for sale's outside.

Oh, ed? Yeah. Yeah, he's the butcher.

I mean, uh... No.
