HELEN:
Oh!
:29:14
I'll get it, honey.
:29:23
Joan?
:29:29
- How are you?
- May I have a word with you, Helen?
:29:33
HELEN:
Of course. Won't you come in?
:29:35
No, I don't have time.
Please...
:29:41
OLDER DOUG:
My mother never had many visitors.
:29:43
In fact, before that day I'd never seen
her and Joan Abbott speak to each other.
:29:48
Joan was the pinnacle of high society.
My mom had no social life to speak of.
:29:53
She was the only mom I knew
who worked for a living.
:29:56
I assumed that was why
she never got out much.
:29:59
There was a reason, but being a
schoolteacher had nothing to do with it.
:30:03
JOAN: Jacey needs to be disciplined.
- I don't think that's necessary.
:30:07
- Lf I were you, I'd talk to him and...
- I'm not going to do that.
:30:11
If you have something to say to my son,
you'll have to say it to him yourself.
:30:18
I just thought you'd like to know
what your son has done.
:30:23
And why on earth should I believe
anything you say, Joan?
:30:35
OLDER DOUG: That visit not only marked
the end of Jacey's affair with Eleanor...
:30:40
...but also the end
of Eleanor Abbott herself.
:30:43
She disappeared from Haley,
vanished or banished.
:30:47
No one knew for certain.
:30:49
But life at the Abbotts '
went on without her.
