It's too soon to know when my father can come home. I'm worried about him, of course. I'm worried about my mother too. She's very upset. I wish my brother, Bill, could be here with my mother and me.

       need a nurse. I can
       take care of him
       alone.

       help. I always treat
       your father lovingly.

JEFF:    Nurse Jackson? Did
   you like him?
MRS. BENNE1T: Too efficient. Much
   too efficient. He'd
   make your father
   nervous.
JEFF:    Nurse Rose? What
   did you think of
   her?
MRS. BENNE1T: Well, she was about
   the nicest. I guess I
   could get along with
   her. But I still don't
   want a nurse. I'm
   the best one to take
   care of your father.
