Fringe dwellers, a haircut.
We can squeeze you in at about 11 o'clock.
Okay.
We'll see you then, then.
We're in business.
Hey, honey, there's a little something I've been meaning to tell you.
When my baby spread me, I didn't spray so good.
I didn't have the peanut taste, the peanut butter showed.
Oh, baby, I feel so oily, baby.
I feel so oily.
There's plenty of imitators, but nothing's as good as the original Kraft peanut butter.
It's never oily and it's never dry.
There's no cooktop.
Yes, mom.
There.
It's great.
It's a halogen.
Halogen?
Energy efficient.
Hey, it's instance.
See the range of instant halogen electric cooktops at the Electricity Center, 41 The Parade,
Norwood.
It's Fun Day Monday.
Yo!
At 7, Pilly joins Stephen Sophie for just kidding.
Somebody reckons they've spotted some hand grenades.
Then it ain't the last kid coming.
Like I said, wacky, huh?
It's Fun Day Monday on Live.
Next week on 60 Minutes, the formidable Steffi Graf, the world's top female tennis player.
She hasn't lost a set this year.
In fact, few have had the measure of her since she was knee high to a tennis racket.
When did you start playing?
How young were you?
Four years old.
You're kidding.
You couldn't hold the racket at 12, could you?
I know.
I would not be able to call that tennis.
And yeah, we played over chairs, which we had like a string attached to two chairs and
we played over it.
And I got better and better and the room just got smaller and the lamps just started, you
know, being damaged by my play.
The precociously talented Steffi Graf next week when we return with another edition of
60 Minutes.
I'm Janna Vint.
See you then.
60 Minutes was brought to you by Toyota dealers.
Say big bucks on clearance.

Big bucks.
Good evening and welcome to Channel 9's special presentation.
They dreamed of a large family.
Then a miracle occurred.
Five, all in one night.
But what started as a blessing.
The government just offered to pay for everything.
Would become a family's curse when their doctor conspired with the government to take
their children away.
This isn't right, you know it.
We take the kids anyway.
Forced into the spotlight in the name of greed.
There should be regular scheduled viewings of the quints for the tourists.
We've got to get them out of there.
A desperate couple fought for their children's return.
My kids are put in a cage so strangers can stare at them.
I make the decisions here.
While the Dion quintuplets became a million dollar business.
My baby girls, they're the celebrities.
The entire world watched, but only their parents knew the truth.
We're not allowed to have kids with my mom.
Five little girls were held hostage with no way out.
The girls are being abused.
Bow bridges and an amazing true story.
It's like a fairy tale.
We just keep those quints alive.
Million Dollar Baby's premieres on 9.
This program is proudly brought to you by Always a Classic, Always Coca-Cola and Duff Beauty Bar.
Your leg's just a short.
Got you.
Wait, did it?
Get in.
Mom, I got him.
Tell him.
Look.
Yes, I got him.
Get him.
Oh.
What I can figure out is this.
Me, I'm broke.
That's OK.
I'm used to it.
But North Bay, an old city going bankrupt?
It's called depression.
You heard of it?
Ah, makes sense.
Everyone's depressed.
It doesn't make sense.
Jobs, people starving.
Not just here.
All over the world.
Yeah.
Hey, you don't get paid to watch.
Jobs, people starving, not just here, all over the world.
Yeah.
You're right.
Hey, you don't get paint to watch.
I was leaving you, Theonora.
It's our last puzzle.
After this one, we're out of a job.
I want the pink caddies just as spring blows.
I want the licorice candies.
Ah, Mama?
We're gonna stop at the store after church.
Mama?
Oh!
Oh, it's Papa!
Where's Papa?
Where's our Papa?
Izzy?
I'm the man.
Izzy, where did you go?
Well, I thought she was inside.
Oh!
Oh, my God!
Izzy!
It's okay.
My baby!
Go and get Mam to go.
Go and get Mam.
She's much too big for seven months,
and her legs are so swollen.
Her labor has started, that's for sure.
But the contractions,
they're like nothing I've ever seen before.
I'm gonna go get the doctor.
No, you're all right.
We don't have money to be the doctor.
You're gonna have a beautiful baby.
That's all you need to think about.
Go boil the water.
Is the doctor in?
It's my wife.
Just a minute.
I have to have the baby before the doctor comes.
Don't talk, Mephyseth.
Don't talk.
Just concentrate.
Say so.
She's two months early.
I know.
I marked it in my calendar.
Why these ladies don't stick to their schedules?
I suppose you didn't keep her in bed like I told you.
Did you get her in bed?
Did you get her in ice?
We couldn't afford a nurse,
but our neighbor met a bunch of people.
You refuse to follow advice when it's given you,
and then in a crisis, you come running to me at all hours.
My bag.
What did you do with my bag?
Please hurry, it's very bad.
Your dinner will spoil.
I'm not about to start another one.
Never mind.
I'm a housekeeper, not a short order cook.
Never mind, Mrs. Henderson.
Another evening without supper won't be the death of me.
It's not your health I was worrying about.
Don't forget to look in on Mrs. Lavoy.
She's due today.
She's due.
Push.
Push now.
One more.
Yes.
Push.
One more.
Let's see.
Push.
That's it.
Push.
Now voice itame,
voice itame.
Let's do it.
Come in.
It's snowy,
it's snowy.
Yes, I know.
Sorry.
Look at her.
Another one.
Another one's coming. Go get more cloths.
Hurry.
One more.
Okay, one more, Bush.
Take a deep breath.
Yes.
Say so. That's it.
Bush, Bush, Bush.
Yes, Bush.
Yes, one more.
Yes, yes.
On the bed.
Bush.
On the bed. Hurry up.
There you go. Scissors.
This is the oven.
It's Dr. Defoe.
This is the oven.
She's gonna have a third one.
Boil water.
Heat the oven.
Doctor, it's already done.
Mr. Gail, out of the room.
Come on now.
I don't want it.
That's it. Come here.
Doctor, she's not breathing.
Nurse, cut.
I'm sorry.
Come on, little one.
Yes.
Okay.
Another one.
Say it, young. Another one.
Push, Mrs. Dionne.
Push.
Push, Mrs. Dionne.
Mrs. Dionne, can you hear me?
That's it.
Hurry up.
Push harder.
Is that it?
Yes.
Scissors.
Come on.
That's it.
Okay.
Doctor, your fingers are all turning blue.
Rep her in blankets.
Bring the vial.
The vial.
What is it?
She's cold as ice.
Is she going to die?
Not if I can help it.
Get the priest, old man.
Get the priest.
Oh, please, God.
I'm sorry.
Doctor.
What is it?
There's nothing more I can do for her.
But I believe she will live.
Thank you, doctor.
There are five in all.
All girls.
I'm sorry, Mr. Dionne, but don't hold out any hope.
Even if there were a hospital nearby, they'd never make it.
They only weigh about two pounds each.
I've never seen an infant so small.
Extraordinary.
But this...
It's a miracle.
It will be a miracle.
If they live.

It's not just what goes into it that counts.
It's what your dog wants to see.
It's not just what goes into it that counts. It's what your dog gets out of it.
Because it's more digestible, your dog absorbs more nourishment and gets more goodness out of every mouthful.
And it shows.
So now you can give your dog more nourishment without feeding them more food.
I'd recommend it for any dog.
Best ever nourishment, new recipe pal. Top breeders recommend pal.

How do you show you got the right number?
Well I was after a 6'6 thruster.
Oh well.
And I'll need gorilla grip.
And I think I'd better go for the full arm length rashie.
Tell me, how long have you been into surfing?
Oh around 30 minutes, aren't I? Why?
Do you have a problem with that?
I thought I lost you.
I want to see them.
The doctors said...
What?
They said they're not strong enough.
I want to see my babies, Eva. I want to see them.
They're so small.
My little girls.
One, two, three, four...
What comes after three?
They're alive.
Half of them. They're all alive.
Be nice to your mother.
I see you gave birth last night.
Oh that's nice.
Five babies, five. All in one night.
Yeah, sure. And I'm the king of England.
You don't believe me? Well go and see for yourself.
The foal gave up on them, said they were going to die.
But they're big and breeding and alive.
I'm going to go and see if I can find them.
North Bay Journal, Mel Cates here.
What?
So Oliver Dion's wife had five babies.
So what? My landlady's got nine.
Oh five in one night.
That's right. Five in one night.
Now, now would a bird notice for five babies
goes the same as for one?
Five times as much.
And are you still giving out free baby gifts?
Free gifts? There's a depression going on here, pal.
You're on planet Earth.
Clébis Dion, don't tell me you're so broke
you have to try and get free baby gifts.
And what a crazy story like that.
It's the truth. I saw them with my own eyes.
Five little baby girls in a basket.
In the oven.
Five babies. That must be some big gun Oliver has
if he can shoot five rounds with it.
Don't be a fool, Dr.
The fighters, my old girl,
will have to make plans.
Plans for their survival.
They might just have a chance.
A slim one.
Still, we're going to need supplies.
Breast milk to start with.
Mrs. Dion will never have enough for five.
A plow for diapers, oil, rubbing alcohol.
Incubators. The old fashioned kind.
And a nurse. A team of nurses.
Nurses? Oh, don't worry. I know you got them.
Get away, Mr. Dion. Get the children out of here.
Come on now.
It mustn't be allowed near the babies.
Oliver, I'll get someone to take care of the little ones.
The babies warm. Oh, and don't let anyone touch them.
Anyone.
Gotta be desperate.
We are.
Five babies.
I'm sure he wasn't talking about his pig.
Imagine, you're raising kids on a dump like this.
The average Frenchie. This dump's a palace.
Hello?
Hey, come here.
No one will ever believe this. Not without pictures.
Hey, Oliver.
I can't see them.
I'm sorry to bother you, but they're just taking...
Oliver!
...to make the front page for sure.
I'm saying, he must be the father.
How'd you like to come sit beside your wife for a picture?
Get out! Get out!
You should have killed them!
Is it true, Oliver? Really true?
Five babies.
I saw them with my own eyes.
It's gonna make the front page everywhere.
The whole world's gonna want to know about this.
The whole world.
I'm sorry.

Join Stephen Jacobs for a word from our sponsor part two, 8 o'clock Tuesday.
Mama...
The faint cry no louder than a whisper is heard by no one.
Not by the six police officers, nor the ten firemen,
nor the dozens of anxious searchers.
The boy is lost, given up for dead.
The men turn to the distraught mother and tell her,
it is time to mourn her son.
Oh!
Faye Willis has a mother's heart.
She has a mother's instinct.
And Faye Willis knows her son is alive.
Oh!
In the well, she cries.
My boy is in the well!
Her cry has barely ended when Big Jim steps forward,
ties a rope around his waist, and begins the long climb down.
Inch by inch, into the murky, treacherous depths,
until 20 feet below, he sees Little Bobby, terrified, sobbing,
clinging precariously to a ledge of wet rock.
Little Bobby looks up, he sees Big Jim, reaches out to him,
and slips.
Big Jim, risking his own life, reaches out, grabs for the boy, but misses.
Then, at the last possible instant, he catches the tiny hand.
Oh!
Little Bobby is safe, restored to his mother's arms,
saved not only by Big Jim's bravery, but by a mother's instinct
and a mother's heart.
Helena Reed, ladies and gentlemen, with another true life story for
This Life We Live.
Tune in next week when Helena Reed once again discovers the stories
that melt the heart of America.
A woman with a rare skin disease overcomes town prejudice to become
a librarian.
No, no more diseases.
A farm mother gives birth to five baby girls up in Canada.
Nobody cares what happens in Canada.
A man loses both his arms with a threshing machine and learns to paint
by holding a brush in his mouth.
I don't care where he holds his brush.
What's the angle?
The Helena Reed angle.
Give me innocence, give me laughter, give me tears.
Shirley Temple.
Give me a break.
How many times do I have to tell you two?
What this country's going through isn't just an economic depression,
it's an emotional depression.
People haven't just lost their job, they've lost their hope.
What they need is something to restore their faith, their sense that
there's something out there that's bigger than they are.
A miracle.
No problem.
Anyone have God's phone number?
Not me, I'm an atheist.
Yeah, yeah, sure, go ahead and sneer, but let me tell you two kids
something, cynicism is a death of hope.
And it's going to be the death of our little radio show if we don't
give the people what they want to hear.
What they want to hear is that miracles are still possible in this world,
that the...
Hey, wait a minute.
That woman.
That woman in Canada.
What do you want?
It's a present for the babies.
Come and get him.
Hurry up.
Here he comes.
For the babies, Mr. Dionne.
My wife was up all night making...
God bless you, Mr. Dionne, you and your wife.
I want them.
Dionne, wife made front page.
Our mother has quintuplets.
I had to look it up, quintuplets.
Nobody's ever had five babies at once before.
Not in all of recorded history.
You're the doctor who delivers the baby, right?
I am.
Well, they feel okay?
They were the last time I saw them.
Hey, Mr. Dionne, how about an interview?
And the doc, too.
Can't you get these people away from there?
Everybody, please go home.
No one can see the babies.
Hey, Dionne, an interview.
Come on, hey.
Hey.
How about me?
I'm the uncle.
Their temperature keeps going up and down.
And last night, one of them stopped breathing.
No, no, no, no, Mr. Dionne, Mr. Dionne, didn't I tell you
that children can't be allowed in here?
They let in the flies and flies carry germs.
I mean, Daddy's on site.
We'll leave on site.
I think Evan's nurse, DeKyzer, is coming.
She'll have this house under control in no time.
Another nurse?
Will someone close that door?
Mr. Dionne, this can't continue.
This door must be kept shut permanently.
Don't let any strangers in, okay?
You're in charge.
Easy for you, Mother dear.
Enjoy.
So I look in the basket.
I run my eyes.
I can't believe what I'm seeing.
So I say to Azir, she's my sister-in-law.
Thanks.
Azir, you had five babies.
And she says, yes, I know.
That's the reason.
Wait to see.
I don't want to read.
Miss Reed, Hellman Cakes, North Bay Journal.
Cut him a shot, ma'am.
I'm the one that broke the story.
Really?
Are they in there?
Yeah, but they're not talking to anybody.
Aren't they?
Miss Reed.
Dixie, where's that candy?
No strangers.
I'm in charge.
But I'm not a stranger, darling.
I'm your Auntie Helena from New York.
Just look at what I have brought for you.
Hey, hey, we're not allowed in here.
I can't believe it.
Come on.
American.
Breast milk.
I can't tell you what a relief this is, Miss Meade.

I'm not from this house.
No electricity.
And an incubator.
Gentlemen, right this way, please.
If the babies could thank you, they would.
Of course, I'll need to see them and the parents.
I must have full access to their life story,
how they met, how they feel.
From you, I need a full account, moment by moment,
of the births, detail.
I'm looking for detail, anecdotes, impressions,
anything that's going to make my listener feel
that they're in...
Once I'm speechless.
Now, if there are a few surprises along the way...
Are you two all set?
Yeah, not a problem.
Just having fun with the cameras and all.
Yeah, but last time,
we got totally out of control.
Yeah, last time.
It was the most unpredictable thing
to happen to quizzing in years.
Last time? Hello.
I don't know. I guess you're right.
I'll get into the mood.
I'll try.

She's just a baby herself
She's 25 with 10 children
10?
They're French and Catholic
Hey, there's one of the other kids
They're having your picture taken
You want to smile for me?
Smile for me?
Hey, leave him alone!
Get out of here!
It didn't mean any harm, sir
Sir, we're just taking a picture
Who's that?
I told you, people, stay back!
Darling, this is it
It's the story of the century
I can feel it in my bones
A modern-day nativity for our troubled times
How's that for the hell in a reed angle?
I can put a column in some photography
This must be Oliver
I'll tell you how excited I am
This story will capture the imagination of the world
Now, we mustn't have any secrets, you and I
There's no need to see them
Can't your people leave us alone?
Oh, Oliver, you're overwhelmed
I can see that, but you're in my hands now
Okay, out
Hold up, Mr. Dionysus
Sit out now! She brought an incubator
But this is telling a reed
I don't give a damn what she is
Out!
He's going to regret that
Very foolish of you, sweet brother
Rest, Belkin, in the incubator
I'm rest now
I said no more running in the house!
Mr. Dionysus, this can't go on
You, uh...
What do you want me to do?
I'm going to kill you
What do you want me to do?
They're my kids! They live here!
Get rid of them! Who want them? I warn you
I cannot guarantee the survival of the babies
unless you move the children from this house
You want the children to leave?
If I cannot keep this room sterile, the babies will die
I have no doubt
No!
Mr. Premier, what do you have to say about the Dion doing tutelage?
What's your reaction to the queues?
It's a miracle, gentlemen, but that's Ontario for you
It's the land of the miracles
How do you respond to charges that your government has done nothing to aid the Dion's
and the Americans being first on the scene with American best milk?
Gentlemen, no government could care more for those little babies
That's why we were elected in the landslide
People know our hearts are in the right place
And right now our hearts are in Northern Ontario with the Dion's
Thanks, thanks, I see you again
Hepburn's newly elected government slow to respond to Dion quench
American breast milk, first nourishment for five hungry babies
One of the biggest events in the world
It happened less than 200 miles from here and we didn't even know about it
Toronto Star printed this story on the last page, no one noticed
Not until the American press took an interest
Well, they sure as hell noticed now
And what they noticed is that we've done sweet nothing
Who's ever gonna forget that the quench first bottle was full of American breast milk?
Damn Americans, beating us to it
This could be very damaging unless we get off our pat behinds and do something now
So do it, whatever it is
And make us look like heroes
Nurse Barry will be hanging diapers in a minute
It'll be exciting
Patience, children, patience
The angle will come to me
This takes time to gestate
In more than nine months I hope
Here he comes
Doctor, can you turn this way?
Is the truth or in the oven in there?
Over here, Doc
Is it true that life is hanging by a thread?
Your people aren't going to go away, are you?
Doc, are you getting any advice from other doctors?
I got some letters
Well, what's in them?
Oh, some...
Some veterinarian from Chicago
Suggested the babies could get their milk by suckling a Yorkshire sow
Another man offered me a solution of sheep's dung tea
Doc, why don't you tell us what's going on in there?
Diapers or more diapers? I've never seen so many. Fifty a day
Doc, are you an expert at pediatrics?
Oh, if I wasn't before, I am now
Doc, tell us a little bit about yourself
Just a simple country doctor, that's all I am
What about Mrs. Dionne, Doctor?
Is she going to have any more babies after this?
If I know my French patients, they've just begun
That simple country doctor may not be quite so simple
I think...
These diapers are so small
I had to make them by hand
Mrs. Dionne, why are you out of bed
and you are not to come near the babies?
What you're told...
I sometimes give them an aperitif before their feeding time
An aperitif?
From the inhalator
95% oxygen, 5% carbon dioxide, an oxygen cocktail
Does them a world of good
Doctor, if I'm very careful, could I help with the babies?
Feed them, or just hold them
Above all, you must not touch them
Yes
Not...
Not touch my babies?
I am the boss of Mrs. Dionne
Have you no understanding of germs?
I understand, kids
This room will have to be disinfected
Floor to ceiling
Every filthy inch
There are other bedrooms, surely?
Upstairs
But I always stay here when I give birth
Good
You're pleased to move up there
And from now on, gowns and masks for those authorized to come into the nursery
Who's he?
Anybody who had me touch the babies?
What's going on around here?
What gives you the right to tell my wife she can't touch her own babies?
And who's that woman?
Mr. Dionne, Lena DeKyzer was with me during the smallpox epidemic
She's the best nurse I know
And I begged her to come here because if anyone can ensure the survival of the babies
She can
I'll go upstairs
It's Funday Monday
This is great! Wait, let me tell the bonehead!

Somebody reckons they've spotted some hand grenades
And have a blast
With TV's favorite fun
Just kidding
Oh yes!
To date, the laughs keep coming
Like I said, wacky, huh?
But paranoia sets in
What exactly do you mean by that?
On Murphy Brown
Yes
It's Funday Monday
How does it happen?
You're down in a mine
Or painting a sign
Or straining till you thought you'd boast
You sure got a boast
A hard-earned thirst needs a big cold beer
And the best cold beer is Vic

You're lending a hand

And the best cold beer is Vic
Vic Bitter

A story of Aesir and Oliva Dion as told by Clevis Dion,
brother to the father of the Dion Queen Poppets
All the intimate, never-before-written-about details
Can even throw in some...
Oliva, they're from Chicago
Mr. Dion, I'll speak my piece and then I'll go
It's a circus out there and I certainly don't want to add to your trope
You with the newsreels, the press?
Far from it.
That go-out dog is just what they remind me of
They'll make the money off you and as soon as the story goes stale, they're gone
Meanwhile, who's paying your bills?
Must be asking yourself that, sir
Five new mouths to feed
I can take care of my own
This is a well-run farm
No one ever starves on the farm, isn't that right?
What my associate was thinking was of all the medical bills he'd probably face
This is just to show you, sir, that we have a solid financial background
And all I'm asking is to discuss a business proposition with you
One that will resolve all your financial difficulties now and in the future
One hundred dollars
That's just the beginning, Father
Everything will be paid for
Medical supplies, nurses, doctors
And all we have to do is move to Chicago with the babies
What did Dr. DeFau say?
DeFau?
He's got nothing to say about it
He's treating Eziel like she's gonna kill the babies if she even looks at them
But this father's gonna buy us the best doctors, specialists
But Eziel, she wanted me to ask you
What do you think about going to Chicago with the babies?
Mr. Spear said that when we're there, people will want to see them
Scientists and other people, too
Ah, Liva
Why do you think those babies were born?
To do good
You see, Liva, these babies, they are a miracle from God
So in a way, they owe something back to God
Now, as you know, we have no money to build our church
But if I were to be your business manager for a modest 7% fee
The money could go to completing the church
No, no, go to the end
Fancy
This is the first shipment of breast milk, doctor, donated by Canadian mothers
As well, we have another incubator coming
And we've instructed the local government to bring in electricity entirely at the government's expense
This is welcome news, I can tell you
Ah, yes, we can help you
We can hardly wait to communicate the news, Mr. Dion and members of the press
Now, is there anything else you need, doctor?
Anything, anything at all?
Well, now, if I were a dreamer, I'd wish for a clean, hygienic environment for the babies
The situation here is very primitive, as you can see
I will mention this to the premier
He loves children, especially babies
Perhaps, doctor, since the beginning of the war, he's been very concerned about the health of the children
Perhaps, doctor, since the press is already at our doorstep, so to speak
He wouldn't mind joining us to tell them about the government's plans
Why not?
I would like to announce that I've just signed an agreement with Mr. Dion, the father of the Dion quintuplets
As soon as the quintuplets can travel, they will appear exclusively and in person at the world famous Chicago World's Fair
The quints will become part of an exhibit that will promote an appreciation of the family
It will all be done in the best of taste, with utmost concern for the babies
Can you say that the babies are going to be put on display like animals in a zoo?
Fool, man, the government just offered to pay for everything
I don't need charity
May I be my own way?
Then go, get all the money you can
You didn't bring them into the world?
Not at all
If anyone wants to see the quints, all you have to do is come to the Chicago World's Fair

Stay tuned, children
Stay tuned

A miracle took place a few short days ago
But if I thought that I would find a story reminiscent of the miracle at Bethlehem
One that would inspire us to ponder the true meaning of family, of childhood, of love
I was naively mistaken
Imagine, if you can, Joseph signing a contract with Herod
To exhibit the baby Jesus at the Roman Coliseum
Now do you understand the outrage I feel at Oliver Dion, father of the Dion quintuplets
Selling his precious infants to a Chicago promoter
Oliver Dion is an avaricious, grasping peasant
Whose lust enslaved his child bride into bearing ten children in eight years
And this, this is the man who now wants to exhibit his babies next to the bearded lady and the alligator boy
But who, who, you ask, will protect these precious babies from this man
My friends, as fate would have it, there is such a man
Dr. Alan Roy Defoe, as he is fond of telling us, is a simple country doctor
A widower who lost his beloved wife to a brain tumor some eight years ago
Dr. Defoe lives a lonely and very private existence
Save for his housekeeper, a woman as devoted to him as he is to his patients
If anyone can save these five little girls, so innocent, so vulnerable, so fragile, it is he
But because of Oliver Dion's greed, this man has now been cast aside, wrenched from the babies he so dearly loves
And now I, and you, should fear for their safety
I sent you up there to do one simple thing, and this is how you handle it
Cables, newspaper editorials, phone calls jamming the switchboards, everyone demanding the same thing, put an end to the spectacle
Dion's contract for the Chicago World's Fair is perfectly legal
That doesn't make it acceptable
Now I don't care how you manage it, but those babies are going nowhere, but how can we stop them?
I mean, you can't just take the babies away from them, can we?
It is legal to make children wards at the Crown if it's clear that they're at risk
The risk is clear, the parents are unfit
Sir, the Dion's are said to be thoroughly respectable people, this will look like blatant government interference
And it damn well is, and we're going to do nothing but interfere
But I'll guarantee you one thing, when this is over, all we'll hear is applause
Well, how we approach the matter will determine that
Then let's make sure that we cover our tails, you get the parents' consent
And if they don't...
Then we take the kids anyway
We understand the terrible strain you've been under, we only regret we didn't get here sooner
We want to reassure you that the government intends to help with all your needs
Like you say, you're a bit late
Mr Dion, don't worry about the Americans
Now, under our plan, the government will take full financial responsibility for the babies
Through the form of a guardianship
We would agree, Father
A guardianship? You mean you want to take away the babies?
No, only until their health stabilizes
Why? Why do you have to take away the babies to do that?
It's purely a formality map
Until Dr. DeFoe judges that they are out of danger
There are a lot better doctors than the head in Chicago
Mr Dion, the Americans aren't your only friends
At present, the Red Cross is supplying you with breast milk, the Canadian Red Cross
It is against your best interest to jeopardize that relationship
You say you'd almost stop supplying breast milk?
Mr Dion, you need friends
I don't know if you realize how much your reputation has suffered
Meliva!
Something's wrong
There's something wrong with her
Impossible, we just examined them
She's warm
She's burning, you know
They all are
A hundred and five
They won't last the night
Syringe
Doctor, they'll never be able to survive an enema
Is it the last chance I can give them?
Here
She opened her eyes and looked right at me.
She's the tiniest, the last woman.
A little angel.
Fever's broken?
I'm going to be all right.
Check the temperature of the ink.
It must be kept at 91 degrees.
Watch the little one.
No, thank you, doctor.
Thank you.
The babies are alive!
They're all alive and well.
How do you feel about them being sent to Chicago?
I'm not sure.
How do you feel about them being sent to Chicago?
Doc, you think it's right, them going to Chicago after what just happened.
They're not going anywhere.
As long as I'm there, doctor.
Is the unit decided?
No, no, no.
Doctor, we need more aid for our patients.
Doctor, the babies.
Tomorrow night, our over-60s put the pedal to the metal at Adelaide International Raceway.
They say you can teach an old driver new tricks.
When national news can be sure.
For the Sporting Edge, Bridgestone RE88.
Its computer-designed tread pattern and rounded side walls provide greater driving comfort and performance.
Bridgestone, that's confidence.
I can't seem to find inspiration.
I've been sitting here waiting all day, but it just hasn't struck.
I'm totally stuck.
My ideas have all gone away.
In turmoil, I turn to me Tetley's.
An all-rounder's plucked from the pack.
The flavour, it rolls through 2,000 holes, and I feel me ideas coming back.
I keep my Tetley all-rounders on hand for a nice cup of tea.
In the cup or the pot, they work like a shot.
Ah, that's the taste of Tetley.
The virus spreads.
We got 19 dead, got 100 more infected, spreading like a brush fire.
The panic rises.
260 million Americans will be dead or dying.
The greatest medical crisis in history begins.
There will be panic the likes of which we have never seen.

This girl doesn't have a serious disability or even a serious illness.
What's wrong is she doesn't have private health insurance.
So while she waits months for her injured hand to be mended,
she can't even write, let alone keep up with the schoolwork.
But had her family been with mutual community,
her hand would have been treated months ago.
Don't wait for surgery. Join mutual community,
because your health is so important.
This is Channel 9.
The honor is mine, Doctor.
It seems that the hyperbole about you being a miracle doctor
happens to be true.
Thank you, sir.
I am a didwood, any other man in my position would have done.
We're going to have to do something about your excessive modesty, Doc.
Now listen, Doc.
The government feels that the Deons are not fit parents.
I think you'll agree there.
Now, we're going to take control of the quints,
but what we need to know is that you're willing to take on the supervision of them.
I can't think of a better person.
The public just loves you.
I...
I would be honored.
Then they're yours.
The government is viewed with grave concern
the attempt on the part of Olivia Deon to exploit its children.
We have informed him as far as this government is concerned,
his contract with the Chicago World's Fair is null and void.
And let me tell you,
when exploiters come up here from American cities to pull this sort of racket,
they'd better not think that this government is going to stand idly by.
The lives of children are a bigger concern in Canada than profits.
Consequently, the legislature has enacted a guardianship bill.
No!
Baby!
Don't touch her!
Stand back! Don't interfere!
The fool don't do this!
You know it!
Yvonne?
Annette?
Emily?
Cecile?
And?
And? My little Marie!
It's a very happy day indeed.
And mindful of the fact that political speech can often put an adult to sleep,
never mind five baby girls,
I will refrain from making one.
In recognition of his outstanding work with the Clint's,
who, as we all see, are as quiet and healthy nippers as any mother could wish for,
I now hereby officially open the Depot House!
Mr. Hepburn!
I'm sure he'll want to meet with you, Mr. Dionne, but not right now, eh?
He won't answer our letters.
He won't meet with us.
If he meets us, you see that the guardianship isn't necessary.
This is not the time.
Now, the government's given you its assurance.
You have 24-hour-a-day access to the babies,
and the guardianship is for a limited time only.
I've been talking to lawyers.
I wouldn't waste the money, sir.
No one successfully sues the government.
The government guy said we can see the babies any time.
Any time we want.
It's just across the road.
Yes, it's so convenient.
It's just how I like to raise my kids.
Having them across the road.
I see.
Don't.
Don't ask me to accept this.
Don't accept that my babies, when they have a bad dream and they cry,
I won't be there.
I won't be there when they have their first tooth,
when they look at me, when they look at me.
I won't be there when they have their first tooth,
when they learn their first word.
I won't be there.
I won't be there because I'll...
I'll be just across the road.
You, hey, look at the cow.
Huh? Huh? Huh?
It's okay. It's okay.
Isn't my Marie the most beautiful little child?
Come on, now smile for Dr. DeFauve.
Give her a little smile.
She had a mind of her own, doesn't she?
Yes, well, here you are.
Nurse.
There she is. I think she's just a little tired.
That was nice.
That little remark you made to the mayor or the governor, whoever he is,
that was... The premier.
Whatever. That was pretty cute, too, you know.
Sometimes you astonish me, Roy.
Sometimes I astonish myself, Miss Reed.
Now, listen to me.
Your girls are doing pretty well now. You don't have any more excuses.
The entire world desperate to meet you, Roy.
How about you start with my hometown, huh?
New York? Why, sure.
I think us hard-bitten New Yorkers could use a visit from a simple country doctor
to see what you say.
Sure, why not?
That's the spirit. Cheers.
Don't you worry, Roy. New York is gonna love you.
And the celebrated miracle Dr. DeFauve left the wilds of Canada
to be honored by the citizens of New York City,
which took the little doctor to its hard-boiled heart.
He is an affirmation of life at a time when, all over the world,
human life has become cheap and incidental.
...the danger period.
Well, contrapods have never lived this long, you know.
You just have to take it one day at a time.
Dr. DeFauve, what did the Quinties look like when they were born?
Like rats. Little rats.
Doctor, were you surprised to hear that you were nominated for the Nobel Prize?
I felt honored.
How about when the King of England gave you the order of the British Empire?
Yeah. Of course, I haven't really done anything. Just delivered a few babies.
Doctor, doctor, doctor.
Do you think New York mothers spend too much time in nightclubs?
Wouldn't know. They don't up north. Just make a lot of babies up there.
Doctor, are you gonna do Elena's show, doc?
He better do my show.
Sure, why not?
Doctor, what about birth control?
What about?
That'll be all for today. That'll be all for today. Thank you.
Dr. DeFauve is a guest this afternoon of Mr. William Randolph Hearst.
Thank you, doctor. Thank you.
In all the days that Glenford Stocking was looked on
Something shocking now here but no
Anything good
Mr. Hearst? Excuse me, Mr. Hearst.
May I introduce Dr. Roy DeFauve? Roy?
Mr. William Randolph Hearst.
So you're the genuine article for a real hero, hm?
All I can do is deliver babies.
You are an uncommon man, doc.
You work for the betterment of others with no regard for your own gain.
Shantay, sir.
I hope you have the good sense to profit, DeFauve, but
You're not a young man. You've gotta look after your old age.
Sit down.
Why don't we cook up some kind of book?
Your experiences with the quints.
You can write it and I can print it.
No, Mr. Hearst. I'm not a writer.
Oh, they're a dime a dozen.
Deal?
Al.
Mr. Hearst, I don't write in introduction.
My dear, doc, this is Sally Randolph.
I'm honored to meet you.
Aren't you cute?
You still have a lot of ground to cover. Come on, doc.
Come on, doc.
Hey.
Why don't you come and see my show?
Sure. Why not?
That's good, doc. That's very good.
Thank you.
What is it?
It's a Manhattan. What else?
Here's one near Iroi.
Oh, extraordinary.
My being here with you is like a fairy tale.
It's a fairy tale that doesn't ever need to end, Roy.
You just keep those quints alive.
The ponies are back.
Hi, Al.
Hello, woman I've never seen before.
Oh, yeah, here you wear the bag.
But in bed?

No problem.

Oh, Madame Dien.
Come here, Audrey.
What is this smell?
Antiseptic.
To prevent germs.
Oh yes, of course.
Germs.
It's a hospital, Madame.
Not a home.
You're right, Marie.
This is not a home.
See, Madame?
We painted the beds.
Green for Cécile.
More for Annette.
Pink for Yvonne.
Yellow for Millie.
And blue for Marie.
So we can identify the babies.
Sometimes we're not too sure.
They're so thin.
The doctor says it's better to keep their weight low.
He won't let them in candy.
Madame Dien, I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Some of the local children have whooping coughs.
They're not very good at breathing.

And won't my babies love these?
Mr. Dion.
Mr. Dion, come in.
Free access.
That's what the government promised us.
Free access to the babies anytime, day or night.
But when my wife goes for her first visit, she's thrown out as if she had the plague.
Mr. Dion, if your wife was asked to leave, I'm sure it was for a sound medical reason.
That's perfectly within the rules.
Thank you for educating me.
My own personal miracle doctor.
And the toast of New York.
Let me tell you something.
When the mother of the Gion Quintoblitz wants to see her babies, no one's going to stop her.
No one.
Here I am with the president.
Oh, here I am with that movie producer from 20th Century Fox.
They plan to make a movie about me.
Extraordinary.
It was me told, Mrs. Dion, that you were going to see her babies.
I was told that you were going to see them.
They plan to make a movie about me. Extraordinary.
It was me told, Mrs. Dion, to leave.
You've done well, Lena.
This, I think, is quite special.
It's called a Manhattan.
Friends?
I have a favor to ask of you, old friend.
My book about my experiences with the Quints.
I was hoping that you'd write the foreword.
You wrote a book without telling me?
How can I endorse your book when it would be in direct competition with my own autobiography,
which is being written as we speak?
I see.
Thank you.
My medical philosophy as it relates to the care of infants is very simple.
Sunlight, clean water, balanced diet and plenty of fresh air.
And what is the result?
I can't take this anymore!
Rick the Quints!
Make up for Mr. Dietrich!
You must comply with my regulations and wear your hospital gown.
I think there can be no exceptions.
You can get an extra gown.
Sorry, sir.
Not that I know anything about acting, sir.
But when you say that bit about my medical philosophy, you might emphasize the word fresh air.
Fresh air?
That's how I do it, sir.
Certainly, Doc. Thanks for the tip.
Sir, if you allow me one small observation, Mr. Dietrich's accent is sounding very German.
Well, they care about Doc.
We'll keep going when we're done here.
Hey, Doc, where's Mr. Kaiser?
Lena, I had to let her go. Her work had become unsatisfactory.
My philosophy as it relates to the care of infants is very simple.
Cops, what's going on?
Did somebody do something about that damn crowd?
There's the money. Take the girls out of my balcony.
Doctor, I think they're tired.
Yeah, a little airing won't hurt them.
We want the Quints!
That's a good one.
What are you doing?
I'd rather take Ivan out five times than tire each of the girls.
Anyway, who's going to know the difference?
The Quints!
Do you want to hear about the true story of MC and Elevante?
I'm the brother of the father of the Quint.
Yes, I'm the elder.
So I said, well, Zee, you are my baby.
And she said, yes, I am.
It's after visiting hours.
Enjoy your visit, madame. Monsieur.
Thank you.
C'est maman, Ivan?
Oui, c'est maman.
You sure it's maman?
The nurses have given them each a color.
But I don't need colors to tell them apart.
Oh, c'est celle-là, c'est maman.
Maman, papa.
They don't recognize us.
Sir, ma'am, you'll have to go.
We have a right to be here.
This is an unauthorized visit, Mr. Dionne.
You can only enter with the doctor's permission.
I advise you leave peacefully or we'll have to evict you.
Go ahead. Go ahead and try.
Very well.
Let him go! Let him go!
It's mine!
Hey, look!
So distressing for my girls.

They're back home.
But they aren't really at home.
And this is why my wife and I came here to speak to you.
To tell you the truth.
She wants the quints.
Listen, we're good people.
Don't get too close.
I don't want to get pregnant with five babies.
Any of you out there have kids?
Anyone of you out there who love their kids?
You want to try and imagine what it's like to have someone take your kids away from you?
You know how that feels?
How she feels?
She's a good mother.
She loves her kids.
She almost died giving birth to her little girls, and she's never been given the chance to hold them in her arms.
They don't even know who she is.

Oliver and Elzier Dion, parents of the world famous quintuplets, are back in the news again.
Yes, forever in search of new and novel ways to exploit their quints, Papa and Mama Dion have taken their show on the road.
Trouble is, without the quinties, Mama and Papa Dion aren't exactly welcome.
I don't want to get pregnant with five babies.
Boy, what some people won't do for a buck.
This is an embarrassment.
Dion may be an embarrassment, but the quints are an entirely different matter.
The movie The Country Doctor is a box office smash.
Contract with 20th Century Fox amounts to $300,000 for the quints.
$300,000?
That's just the beginning.
Quints continue to draw tourists.
There seems to be no end to the fascination for them.
And the economic impact is transforming the area.
Welfare is down, businesses are flourishing, and what was once our poorest area is fast becoming our richest.
If this keeps up, our projections show more income coming out of the quints than we are getting from Niagara Falls.
The tax dollars will be huge.
Moneymaker, in the middle of a depression.
That's very interesting.
In the short term, when the guardianship bill runs out, Dion gets the quints back.
Taking all that revenue with him.
Okay, what are the options?
The government of Premier Hepburn, taking into consideration recent actions from the parents of the Dion quintuplets,
such actions being considered disgraceful,
and further proof of the parents' continued attempts to exploit the quintuplets,
will introduce a bill extending the guardianship of the girls in order to ensure their health and safety.
The quints will remain under the protection of the government...
until they reach the age of 18.
Five minutes, folks.

Luckily, new Ford Laser Hatch is perfect for the family member who doesn't have your average 2.3 kids.
It gets noticed.
It cuts a stylish figure.
And the new generation of engines makes it rather quick.
New Laser Hatch.
A car for people who don't want to be.
New Recipe Pal.
It's not just what goes into it that counts.
It's what your dog gets out of it.
Because it's more digestible, your dog absorbs more nourishment
and gets more goodness out of every mouthful.
And it shows.
So now you can give your dogs more nourishment without feeding them more food.
I'd recommend it for any dog.
Best ever nourishment, new Recipe Pal.
Top breeders recommend Pal.
These are the moments.

Now open, Wavell Showgrounds.
Strongbow. Sweet, try or draft.
All you have to do is ask.
This is an offer from Stork Cleaning Powder.
$20,000 for the quints to pose and endorse the product.
We'd never use that product.
Come on, Roy, this is advertising.
Well, I don't know about these things.
What about that film you just made?
Well, it's different. It is educational.
And very profitable.
Let us not forget, Doctor, that costs here at the hospital are rising.
And as the quints' official guardians,
would it be fair to them not to take advantage of these opportunities
to build them up a nice little nest egg?
Sure, but only if my girls endorse products that they actually use.
I'd be dishonest, otherwise.
Quaker Oates wants you in the picture, too.
I couldn't.
Come on, Roy, you deserve something for all your hard work.
Doc, I don't know what you think about this,
but the Premier's been thinking about improving things around here.
There should be regular, scheduled viewings of the quints for the tourists.
Now, we don't propose to charge admission.
It should all be tastefully done
and with the girls' best interests in mind.
We wouldn't want to exploit them in any way.

And the bigger even than Niagara Falls.
Gentlemen, our Quintuplet balance sheet shows total royalties received
in the amount of $1,600,000.
They represent to the province an asset worth some $500,000,000.
We're excited. We're going to see the quints.
Quintuplets, to make and distribute still photos of the quints,
$13,000.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the original.
What an only basket for where I put the quints after they were born.
A true like and out of the moment by moment drama of the birth of the people.
So, the $0.35.
$0.06 it was.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the original.
Hey, ladies.
Hi.
Over here we got the original, authentic, magic fertility stone
that held through the world-famous Dion Quintapest.
You don't think by myself,
Clavis Dian, brother of the father of the Dian Quint.
Your turn.
Oh, the
miracle doctor.
If you're the miracle doctor, does that make me the miracle doctor?
I expect so, Mr. Leone.
Because folks are always asking me things.
But what's yours?
These five babies, how in X did you do it?
Well, what is it that you tell them, Mr. Leone?
Two in five times.
Okay, come on now.
That's enough.
Come on.
Emily.
Look at me.
Come on.
Look at me.
My baby.
Look at me.
That's it.
You two now.
Move ahead now.
Come on.
Stop!
Oh, babies.
Tomorrow night's the conclusion.
My kids are put in a cage strangers can stare at.
The battle for custody wages on.
He's taking complete control of our girls.
I make the decisions here.
And the parents uncover the horrible truth.
We're not allowed to have kids with Mama.
We've got to get them out of there.
Five little girls held hostage with no way out.
Are you crazy?
My girls are being abused.

I think it's very important.

Good evening, I'm Peter Hitchiner.
The Super League crisis has deepened today with confirmation three leading Canberra players
have signed up for the News Limited competition.
Laurie Daly, Ricky Stewart and Bradley Clyde are among a series of top players to sign.
The Australian Rugby League is fighting back with legal action and a series of advertisements
fronted by South's coach Alan Jones, appealing directly to players not to join the Super League.
Sign nothing until you know more and especially until you've heard what the game you currently
play can offer you.
Australian cricket coach Bob Simpson is in intensive care in a Barbados hospital tonight,
following the discovery of a dangerous blood clot in his leg.
He may be forced home for emergency treatment, but Ian Healy says the team mentor is in good spirits.
Hard to keep the old bugger down, so he'll definitely be in touch with us and be in close
range to us all the time.

made a full recovery.
To sport now, and Australia continues to hold the upper hand in the first test, after a stunning
performance from Ian Healy put the tourists' 151 runs in front.
And it's been another 1-2 result for Australia in the Malaysian 500cc Grand Prix, with Mick

This time next week, California.
You excited?
Uh-huh.
Me too.
I can't wait.
Were you ever there?
Oh, once.
For six weeks, touring with some musical.
In the middle of December, we went swimming.
Which musical?
What's the difference?
I'm trying to tell you how beautiful it's going to be.
We're going to look for a little house way up in the hills.
Near the movie studios?
Yes.
Your window will face Warner Brothers.
You can watch them blow up the world from your bed, all right?
Oh, God.
Can you imagine your very own orange tree?
I love it.
I think the musical was Fiddler on the Roof.
I remember staying with Grandma.
I was four and a half.
You were never four and a half.
You were born 26.
Do you think I'll be in the same grade?
Of course you will.
Everything's the same out there.
Only it's three hours earlier.
You'll graduate younger.
A girl from California's in our class.
She went to school telling Ready Starter.
What about you?
After this picture, they'll be saying,
there goes Tony DeForest, little girl.
Yeah, but he's not a star.
He's just an actor.
Stars have to be actors first.
And he's not really my father.
You're such a stickler for details.
Can I show Tony all my things first?
Later.
You have homework to do.
We're moving in four days.
Do I have to do homework?
Suppose between now and Friday, they teach brain surgery.
I wouldn't want you to miss it.
Mother.
We had it last week in science.
Are you serious?
Tom, you know you're dumb.
Well, I thought maybe in thought dissection.
What do I know?
Can I just show him my new sweater and jeans?
Oh, all right.
But wash your face and brush your hair.
And no makeup.
Tony!
Sweetheart!
You in the bathroom?
Hey!
We cleaned out Alexander's!
We bought everything on sale.
So you better like it, because we can't exchange it.
I bought you a present.
Babe, come out and see.
Babe?
Tom?
Oh, my God!
What happened?
He's gone.
He left without us.
For California?
For Italy.
Huh?
Can I read it?
Yeah.
Dear Paula, this isn't an easy letter to write.
Doesn't start off too good, does it?
Where in the hell do I begin?
You know, you and the kid mean a lot to me.
The kid?
I turned down the job in L.A.
It was just a lousy TV picture anyway.
On Monday, Stan Fields called.
I got the Bartolucci picture.
Who's Bartolucci?
An Italian director.
Why did he act?
What are you asking questions like that now for?
It's six months shooting in Spain and Italy.
It's a hello for Bartolucci and I want it.
I broke my ass for...
Give me that.
Ass? I've heard the word before.
I broke my ass for 12 years in this town
and things are finally beginning to break for me.
I told you when you first moved in here with me
that it was never going to be permanent.
Christ, I'm not even divorced from Patty yet.
Who's Patty?
I told you about her.
He didn't?
Well, I thought you would be upset
if you knew you were living with a married man.
I wasn't living with him.
You were. I was in the next room.
Well, they were practically divorced.
I left early today because I didn't think
a goodbye scene would do any of us any good.
This is one of the worst letters I've ever read in my whole life.
Isn't it terrible?
I wish I had something to leave you and the kid.
You didn't leave us anything?
Oh!
I had to sell my watch and camera
to pay off the loan sharks.
He owed money to sharks?
I'll explain it some other time.
But I know you'll be all right.
You can always go back to dancing.
Dancing? I'm 33. I can hardly walk anymore.
You deserve more than I can give you.
I wish to the both of us all the luck in the world,
love to the kid.
Don't read anymore.
Just one more word, Tony.
Oh, throw it away.
Does this mean we're not going to California?
Yes!
That means I have to do my homework, right?
Right.
