at the home of the Dionne quintuplets.
The quints, those five adorable little curly haired angels
we've come to know and love,
are symbols of hope in these dark times
and a source of prosperity
for the lucky townsfolk of Calendar, Ontario.
The world continues to be the path to their door.
And when they get there, the locals put on quite a show.
Souvenirs, autographs, all this and more.
Precious mementos of the day spent visiting
the famous Dionne sisters.
Here in Northern Ontario, there's fun for everyone.
Yes, the crowds just keep on coming.
More than 3,000 people a day pour into this little town
and they come from everywhere.
Here's a family that's come all the way from California.
The quints are even more popular than Niagara Falls.
Cars line up for miles each day along these rural roads.
Yes, everyone in this community benefits from the quintuplets,
especially the local filling station.
And to celebrate the first day of summer,
the world's most loved little girls
held a strawberry social for none other than Helena Reed,
America's most listened to radio personality.
Dr. DePauw certainly draws visitors as well.
Here he is with Hollywood motion picture star,
Marlene Dietrich.
This week, Dr. DePauw had a different kind of visitor.
This is Dr. Joseph Burroughs, a pioneer
in the emerging field of child psychology
who will study the quints.
That's very good, dear.
Very good.
There they are.
I don't usually like to interrupt the girls
while they're being taught.
Girls?
Oh.
Oh, beautiful, beautiful.
Girls, look at these.
Oh, my goodness.
These are going up on the wall, girls.
They're married for her.
Oh, well.
Let's see what my little Marie has done.
No, no, no, don't, don't, don't.
Oh, you're a beautiful painting.
No, no, let Dr. DePauw see it.
Oh, oh, Marie.
This is excellent.
You should be very proud.
Thank you, Dr. DePauw.
Yes, I think yours shows the most imagination.
Now, is this me?
But I'm hardly this handsome.
It's Papa DePauw, that handsome.
Sorry, Marie.
However, do you tell them apart, Doctor?
Oh, easy.
Now, the girls are identical, but there are differences.
Yvonne is the biggest.
Marie is the smallest.
And Annette looks the most like Yvonne.
And that leaves Cecile and Emily.
And if you can tell the two of them apart,
the last one is easy.
Right, girls?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Successful child rearing depends on discipline and routine.
Children must be occupied in healthy, stimulating activities.
This is at the heart of my method.
Now, this is the schedule for the quintuplets.
Each day has been divided into 21 units of time.
Wake up 6.25 AM.
6.30, emptying of the bladder and other ablutions.
7.40, prayer.
7.45, breakfast, and so on.
There must be no deviations whatsoever from this schedule.
I'm sure the girls will adapt beautifully, Doctor.
We have our own routine here, Doctor.
Twice a day, the girls play in a little park
inside the observation gallery.
They don't even know that anyone is there.
It's no different than if the children were playing
in the schoolyard under the watchful eye of a teacher.
True, true.
We call it free play.
Doctor, what about visits from the parents?
I don't see anything on the schedule.
I wouldn't worry about the Dion's nurse.
They hardly ever visit.
Mama, why can't I have curly hair?
I want girls like the quints too, Mama.
Don't call them that.
They have names.
What do you feel?
I'm prepared.
Of course, she doesn't have to wear that patch.
Good night.
Doctor Defoe is the quints' favorite human,
much more like than Papa or Mama Dion,
who are still this disgruntled that their children
have been taken away and who complain that they could get rich
if they could exploit their quints properly.
Mama, the kids at school, they say the government
took away the quints because you and Mama,
you aren't good parents.
You think that's true?
You think what about parents?
No, Mama.
If you think that, the government's
going to take you away too.
No one's going to take you away on this.
Your hair's not curly enough.
Hey, she didn't meet him.
She's tired.
Maggie, it's Azir, the baby.
Defoe's gone.
Please, Maggie.
She won't see anyone with you.
Push, Madam.
Push.
That's it.
It's a boy.
Azir, beautiful boy.
One?
Just one, Madam.
Azir.
He's big.
It's so good to hold a baby again.
Do we get to keep him, Mama?
This one, they're not going to take from me.
Empty the bladder.
715 P.M.
Don't just sit there, sissy.
Thirty seconds to go on that.
And I mean go.
We don't feel like it.
What's going on here?
This is not what we mean by free play.
You can't play.
It's two minutes past the bedtime.
I'm sorry, they've always been a bit hard to control.
They're completely off the schedule.
He's completely off his rocker.
What is this?
Are my girls misbehaving?
Show some manners and say good night to Dr. Burroughs.
Good night, Dr. Burroughs.
And good night to Papa DeFoe.
Good night, Daddy.
Can we have a story?
Oh, it's too late, Marie.
Please, Papa DeFoe.
No, no, off to bed now.
Off to bed.
It's your music time.
Little scamps.
I'm afraid I've adored them a bit too much.
Good night, girls.
Good night, Papa DeFoe.
You feeling better?
If you're feeling stronger, you could go and visit the girls tomorrow.
It's too late.
For what?
The girls don't know me.
They don't know me.
They don't care.
When I go, if they let me in, the girls act like I'm just a visitor.
And that's all I am.
A visitor.
Well, you're not going to change things by staying away.
No.
But I'm going to survive.
I'm going to be a mother to the children I have.

How can we help you, Mr. Dionne?
This is a guardianship meeting.
I'm one of the guardians and I'm going to attend.
You have a problem with that?
Of course you're welcome, Mr. Dionne.
We are only surprised since you've never shown interest in attending before.
Take a seat.
What is it you want, Mr. Dionne?
What do you think?
I want my kids.
I want a meeting with Hepburn.
I want the law that took them away from us.
I want it abolished.
Mr. Dionne, at this time we are discussing the end of the fiscal year.
There's no excuse keeping them locked up.
Mr. Dionne, this is not the appropriate time to discuss.
Appropriate?
So you know what you've done to us?
To my wife?
What we lost?
You have only yourself to blame.
Why are they kept in a hospital?
Hey, they're not sick.
Why can't they live like normal kids, Leslie?
Why don't we listen to that?
Give us back our kids.
It is simply out of the question.
Now, if you have nothing constructive to add, may we please continue?

Foster's Light Ice for extreme refreshment.
I had playtime now, girls. 15 minutes.
I want that one.
No!
Let go!
She pushed me!
I didn't.
She fell.
I didn't fall.
She pushed me!
Those who don't follow the schedule will not be allowed to stay with the others.
I don't want to be in there.

Still, you know the rules.

Yodel-ee!
She's afraid.
Don't you dare.
She's afraid to be alone.
Without the others.
It's only a temper tantrum.
Yodel-ee!
Doctor, I don't like to criticize my colleagues, especially the hand nurse.
The hand nurse?
Nurse MacPhail.
She has no feelings.
She isn't fit to be with children.
I gather you disapprove of Dr. Burroughs' methods as well.
I'm not an expert, but the way the girls are being raised, it's all wrong.
Really?
And how do you think they should be raised?
I wish they could live like normal children, with brothers and sisters and friends.
It's not healthy for them always being together.
Sometimes it's like they're one child, one child in five bodies.
How will they learn to live in the real world?
Learn to be individuals?
You think they should be sent home to that hovel, deprived of any cultural experience?
I was raised in a poor family, Doctor.
We never had enough of anything, but all my memories are happy.
How fortunate for you.
Nice.
I believe it would be best for you to resign.
No, but why?
Nurse MacPhail has had reason to complain to me too often about your insubordination.
Please, Doctor, please.
You'll leave today.
Doctor, after I say goodbye to the girls.
Such goodbyes are not in the best interest of the girls.
I've been with them since they were poor.
It's not a good idea for the girls to become attached to any one person on staff.
To anyone but you.
If you're finished, nurse.
You're a very cruel man.
Marie?
I've been let go.
You wouldn't even let me see the girls to say goodbye.
No, no, no.
I can't, Madame. I can't miss the bus.
I just...
I have to tell you, the girls...
What is it?
Doctor Defoe, he doesn't believe me about Nurse MacPhail.
The girls need you, Madame.
They need you to protect them.
Don't say that, Marie.
There's nothing it can do.
Don't give up, Madame. Don't give up hope.
Lights out in two minutes.
Nurse Evie, where's Mary?
Where did she go?
Yeah, where?
Nurse Lemoyne has gone home.
Gone? She's gone?
Yes, she's gone.
Come on, girls. Come to bed.
Come on now. Come to bed.
Marie!
She's gone and no amount of crying is going to bring her back.
She's gone.
Mrs. John!
What have they done to you?
What have they done?
What right do you have to come in here?
What right?
The mother!
Well, you made...
Why did you do this to them?
They have been touching themselves in an inappropriate manner.
Are you crazy? Are you crazy?
Emily? Where is Emily?
What have you done to her?
Oh, Emily. Come, come.
This is the isolation room. It is a perfectly correct form of discipline.
Don't you ever, ever touch my kids or hurt them again.
Because if you do, I'll do the same to you.
Now get out. Get out of here.
Get out!
I'm going to call the guard.
Mama?
Yes, Mama is here.
Mama will always be here.
It's been a while since you saw me, eh?
Since you saw me, I had a baby.

Here's important news if you suffer the uncomfortable symptoms of allergies or hay fever.
You may not know that some allergy treatments can cause serious problems.
Some can make you drowsy, affecting work and driving.
And some should never be taken with alcohol or other medications.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor to recommend a non-drowsy treatment for allergy and hay fever relief.
Be clear about allergy medications.

Join Stephen Jacobs for a word from our sponsor, Part 2, 8 o'clock Tuesday.
I didn't know where you were.

We've got to get them out of there.
Get them out of there.
It's all in there.
A record of what they say about us in the press.
Photographs they used to make us look like fools.
Mr. Dionne, may I ask why it took you this long to consult a lawyer?
You're not the first.
I've spoken to three over the years.
Cost me a lot of money to find out that no one wanted my case.
No lawyer likes to lose, Mr. Dionne.
The odds on winning a fight against the government are not favorable.
My girls are being abused.
My wife saw it with her own eyes.
The nurse who told us about it has been fired.
Now there's no one in there we can trust.
Yes, I know.
But the issue here, Mr. Dionne, is the problem of your reputation.
Why would a court give custody to a man who accepted a contract to exhibit his daughters?
You think that?
That Aliva Dionne is a monster?
A man who only wants to exploit his kids?
Have you been to Quintland?
Twice a day my kids are put in a cage so strangers can stare at them.
Now you tell me who's exploiting my kids.
I thought you were being French-Canadian like us.
Thank you for the consultation, Monsieur Poulet.
Oh, Mr. Dionne!
Mr. Dionne!
Bonjour.
You give this to your father, please.
Very nice.
Show us the monkey.
These people, they breed like rabbits.
They're French.
And Catholic.
Yes, yes, yes.
Monsieur Dionne!
Didn't you see the sign?
No admittance.
You want to get your girls back, eh?
You really want to get your girls back?
You were right.
You do need someone who's French-Canadian.
All I know is that if my name had been Smith or Brown,
I would have never been able to take away my kids.
That's it.
That's the strategy.
Monsieur Dionne, I can help you get your girls back.
I'm absolutely convinced.
Monsieur.
Moubaye.
When the Quints were born, I felt proud.
As a French-Canadian, like all of us in this room,
I felt proud that the Dionne had brought honor to us.
Then I started reading things about them, the papers,
hearing stories on the radio.
And I was no longer proud.
So when our government took those girls
and gave them to Dr. Default to raise, I thought, okay, good.
Now they're in good hands.
But now, now I know better.
Now I know that those little girls were taken from Elzire
and Olive at Dionne not because they're bad parents,
but because they are French, they are poor, and they are Catholic.
How else do you explain the lies about the Dionne,
the willingness of the public to believe them?
Would the Dionne Quints have been taken away
if their parents had been named Brown or Smith?
This terrible injustice has been initiated
by a government that is racist.
Yes, yes, racist.
And we, as French-Canadians and Catholics, know what that means.
Tell them, Oliver. Tell them what you told me.
It's not really the government that I blame.
It's Default.
More than anyone, he's the one who's responsible.
He's the one who's tended to patients in the area for over 20 years,
and he still doesn't speak French.
He's taken complete control of our girls.
He acts like if he's their father instead of their guardian.
He makes it almost impossible for us to visit.
And he fired the only nurse there that we trusted.
Marie Le Moine, French girl.
The only one who spoke to the Quints at their mother tongue.
The girls are growing up unaware of their language,
their culture, and their religion.
Mon père, Monsieur,
we are the only ones the Dionnes can turn to.
We are their family.
We must spread the word.
Denounce the government!
And the press, the stores, the businesses, from every pulpit!
And not let the pressure until those five little girls are home,
home in the arms of their parents!
APPLAUSE

The eight French Canadians.
Are you bigot or French Catholics?
Listen, fellas, I expected questions about my raising the gasoline tax to eight cents.
So whatever it is you're on about, I'm grateful it shifted attention away from that.
Gentlemen, I want you all to know I have nothing but the utmost respect for our citizens of
French ancestry.
Thank you.
That's all for now, fellas.
The editorials.
Read them.
They're in French.
I love it.
Le gouvernement de l'Ontario est...
I don't speak French.
Sorry?
Um, not only has Marie Le Moyne, a French-speaking nurse, recently been fired, but head of the
hospital, Dr. Defoe, has refused to allow the quintuplets to be educated in French.
In approving these actions, Premier Hepburn insults and offends all French Canadians.
What the hell is going on up there?
But we...
This is very smart.
This forces us to deal with the Dions.
Throw them a bone, whatever it takes.
Just get those editorials out of the paper and off my back.
Yes, sir.
This is blackmail.
Pure and simple.
Nothing but a crude attempt to get back the girls.
The thing is...
Doctor, the Premier himself requested you meet with Dion.
He's counting on your diplomacy to help smooth things over.
Won't you come in?
My attorney, Monsieur Poulain.
Monsieur.
Sir.
Pleasure.
Sir.
Please.
Mr. Dion, the Premier is very concerned that this unfortunate misunderstanding has taken
place.
Now, let's start with the firing of Nurse Lemoyne.
There was absolutely no intention to deny your girls access to the French language.
Nurse Lemoyne was fired because of her insubordination.
Poor nursing skills.
Nothing more.
She'd been warned not to be friendly with us.
That was her insubordination.
Gentlemen, let's not get mired in details.
What we propose is to hire a French-speaking teacher.
Would that be agreeable to your client, Mr. Poulain?
Very agreeable, sir.
But we have a few other requirements.
To start with, the nurses must all be French-speaking to preserve the French culture of the girls.
Also, parents must be guaranteed free and unrestricted visits.
This is something the government promised, but which the staff has never respected.
I have this.
The parents insist that the ridiculous and inhuman schedule of doctor brawls be stopped.
The parents also want an end to the public show with the girls.
The children, not treat monkeys.
There's also the matter of the girls' income, how it's being managed.
We want to see the books.
Outrageous.
Jeffrey, who is this man?
Have you seen Mr. Poulain's credentials?
Because he's French-Canadian, he can't be smart enough to be a lawyer.
Is that what you mean?
I'm sure Dr. Defoe didn't mean to imply any disrespect.
Gentlemen, I won't tolerate this man's ignorance.
I won't tolerate my girls being abused.
Abused?
How dare you suggest?
I don't suggest.
I know.
Nurseman failed.
I want her out today.
What about?
If you don't throw her out, I will.
I am the head of this hospital, Mr. Dion.
I make the decisions here.
Do you think you can continue to run this circus till my daughters are 18?
I have nothing more to say to this man.
When this is over, believe me, you'll be walking out that door for good.
Gentlemen, shall we continue?
Yes, sir.
Look, Nurse McPhail.
She's leaving.
Round one, Aziel.
Round one for us.
This is giving in to the Dion's.
It's so dangerous, President.
Let us worry about that, Doctor.
Besides, we haven't given in to them in any significant way.
Nothing's going to change, Doctor.
The Dion's just don't know that yet.

I keep my tatlis, all rounders, on hand for a nice cup of tea.

But every miracle needs a miracle doctor, and here he is, the stork's worst enemy, all the way from the wilds of Canada, Dr. Al Rory DePauw.
In Canada's standards, in Canada's standards.
Well, babies are all I know, you know.
I, I, I, I used to be a doctor, I am yet, now I'm kind of a doctor and a general manager and a publicity agent and a...
Helen, there wasn't tonight a scream.
Well, that's one word for it. Quite a celebrity, aren't you, Roy?
Oh, not me. No, it's my baby girls. They're the celebrities.
They must learn to be looked at, talked about, written about and studied, without losing their sense of proportion, their ability to enjoy life.
Celebrities come and go.
No, not my girls. They will always have to buy their privacy and pay for it dearly.
They must continue to build sufficient funds to make it possible for them to have peace and then freedom as the years go by after I'm gone.
What do you think they'll be doing when they get older?
Oh, when they get older, I think people will stop looking at them and start looking to them.
They'll be world tours and lectures and they'll become goodwill ambassadors, model Canadian citizens.
They'll meet with kings and queens and presidents. They'll be leaders.
What happens if they just want ordinary lives?
But they're not ordinary girls. They're the quints. And that will never change.
In New York City last week, more than 700 people gathered for another fun-filled afternoon. The city's famous circus Saints and Sinners Club.

Aliva, that's the best thing that's ever happened. This means we can't sue him for defamation.
And wait a couple of years to go to court? He deserves worse, not me.
He deserves a taste of what I've been getting.
Is there anything happening soon with the Fonda girls?
They're supposed to meet the King and Queen.
Nothing doing with the King and Queen. You know the way people feel about him. What else?
Well, he's always giving lectures, but that's out of town.
There's a big Mother's Day radio broadcast. It's one of the girls.
And what do the girls do?
Just say a few words.
In English?
He's like my dolly, except he's warm and he smells good.
His name's Aliva, like his papa. And he's not just a baby, he's your brother.
Do you know what that means?
How can he be my brother when he wasn't born at the same time as me?
All babies are born together like you girls, Yvonne.
Usually they come one at a time.
Poovtsy, there's so much you don't know.
Outside these walls, people live together in one house.
The mama, the papa, and the babies.
What's it like outside, where all the people are?
Outside, the people go round and round the tunnels.
Just round and round.
And they don't wear white coats.
And they live in cars and the cars go up and down the road.
Up and down, down and down.
May I come closer, girls?
It's papa.
Come on, come closer.
Come on.
Hi, girls.
Hi.
I like this.
Just like this.
You and me, Aliva.
And our girls.
Listen, Izzy, I got an idea.
It's something the girls can help me with.
Edithie, you want to do something for me?
For your papa?
Papa, you're a fool.
No, Yvonne, me.
You're a real papa.
Doctor, the fool's not fit to be anyone's papa.
He's not a nice man.
It's going to be like playing a trick.
You want to know what it is?
What are you talking about?
I want you to do something special for me.
And it's going to be our secret.
Your papa has a big treat for you.
Something the mean doctor the fool won't allow.
But that all-chilling love.
It's called chocolate.
Look.
The Bundys are back.
Hi, Al.
Hello, woman I've never seen before.
Oh, yeah, here you wear the bag.
But in bed?
All new episodes, 8.30 Tuesday on Channel 9.
They taught us how to dress.
Go get him, tiger.
How to dance.
And how to make the scene.
I'm sorry.
Now they're back.
Daddy, there's a Brady in our yard.
And the only thing that's changed.
Would you bring pork chops and applesauce?
Is the rest of the world.
All right, this is a car, Jack.
Well, of course this is a car.
But my name's not Jack, it's Grey.

Dinner's ready.
Oh, I know.
There will never be a team dinner.
Dinner's ready.
Oh, I know.
There will never be a team model.

They call it pizza pockets.

Oh, Eddie Kander called.
He wants you to be on his radio program.
The fee's $1,000.
Good.
Has my invitation arrived yet?
From the King and Queen.
Yes.
No, no, not yet.
And here is your draft of the column.
You're giving advice to mothers with a colicky baby.
I'm sure it'll be fine, George.
There they are.
There are my darlings.
Did you miss me?
Huh?
Did you?
Hello.
How are you?
I'm fine, Roy.
You?
Exhausted.
Too many speeches.
I don't know how you folks do it.
Have you done Carnegie Hall?
That was my last one.
To a packed house.
The place is huge.
I lost my voice halfway through.
Do my girls know their lines?
Doctor.
Excuse me.
The Deons are at the door.
What?
Why do they have to come now?
Tell them...
Sir, they'd like to watch the program.
And they are with the lawyer.
All right.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Do you mind if the Deons sit in?
As long as they're quiet.
Thirty seconds, there, Mr. Thomas.
All right.
Yes.
In France, President Le Brun has announced that Hitler's occupation of Prague has once
and for all ended any illusion of appeasement.
And now stay tuned for Lowell Thomas, who broadcasts to you direct from the nursery of
the Deon quintuplets.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Yes, tonight I speak to you live from the nursery of the Deon quintuplets, and a very
nice room it is, too.
In one corner, I see five comfy beds, each with its own color.
Cecile's bed is green and decorated with a drawing of a turkey.
Yvonne's bed is pink and adorned with a bluebird.
Emily's is yellow with a tulip.
Annette's is mauve and marked with a maple leaf.
And last but not least, little Mary's is blue with a teddy bear.
And here they are right next to me, the Deon quintuplets.
Yvonne, Annette, Cecile, Emily, and Marie.
Good evening, girls.
And who better to wish the Mothers of America a very happy day but the Deon quintuplets?
Am I right, girls?
Well, I can assure you, ladies and gentlemen, the girls are in full agreement with me on
that subject, and as soon as we get their microphone adjusted, we will hear a few words
from them.
Well, here they are to send their best greetings to you ladies on Mother's Day, Yvonne, Annette,
Cecile, Emily, and Marie.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the quints are, well, they're playing a little
trick on me.
Now, girls, wouldn't you like to say a few words to the Mothers of America?
No.
No, you wouldn't, and why not?
It's not nice to speak in English.
Yvonne, girls.
No, no, don't.
It's a joke.
Now, come on, girls.
Girls.
It's all right, Maddie.
That's my girls.
Don't you understand what this French mess can do to me?
Chief, you're much too important a man to be bothered by a bunch of Frenchies.
Good Lord, man, where's your sense of judgment?
Publicly ridiculing Oliver Dion in the newsreels, then this doctor of litter spectacle in New
York.
Why not?
Don't why not me.
I'm not one of your fancy New York friends in the press who can lap up that kind of crap
all day long.
It was harmless fun.
It was an honor to be invited to the Saints' and Sinners' luncheon.
It would have been disrespectful if I...
Leslie here had a quiet talk with Dion lawyer about your little New York show.
They're at toy with the idea of suing you for defamation.
However, they've agreed to drop the suit in exchange for a look at all financial records,
including yours.
What?
It's none of their business.
I don't know how you managed it, Roy, but you've got this reputation as a saint, a
selfless man who's never profited from his association with his adorable little girls.
However, that picture would change if they got a look at your books, now wouldn't it?
The advertisers always demand that I'd be in the picture.
They say the Quints are nothing without me.
Roy, you received $30,000 as a technical advisor on the Quints movie, plus thousands of dollars
for lectures, for endorsements, everything from Carole Serp to Chevrolet.
But you've always known this.
You don't talk, Roy.
You just sit there and listen.
Now, this is what you're going to do.
You're going to resign as guardian.
No.
Oh, no.
You have no choice in the matter.
But you gave those girls to me to keep them safe till they were 18.
You're the only things in the world that mean anything to me.
They're not things, Roy.
They're people.
You're the one that made the decision to build the hospital, to set up the board.
Quint landed it, it was you, your government.
You're no longer a guardian.
That's my decision.
However, you're still in charge of the hospital.
You should be grateful for that.
Deliver the books to the Deons, everything except Roy's.
See if they'll accept that.
Supplies for hospital and staff house, $2,484.
Salary, construction foreman, $395.
Wages, policemen, $1,698.
You know those expenses in the girls' books?
Because they're paying them.
They're paying for everything.
All the expenses, they're coming out of the Quintuplets own money.
Maintenance, nurses' salaries, fire insurance, medical supplies, legal services, food.
Not only for the Quints, for everyone.
Home bills, hardware, signed painting, lightning rods.
You believe this?
Even the lightning rods.
I thought the government was supposed to be for all this.
You thought that, eh?
Well, why the government's making millions in revenue from the tourists
is the girls who are paying for everything.
They're even paying for their own birthday presents.
What's this?
The foe's phone bills.
They're paying for his phone bills?
Yes, sir. And look what all this is costing them.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Look at it. All these people still wanting to see the Quints.
It's a cult.
A cult of the child.
It's not hard to understand.
We're living in a time when people can barely hold on to their hope.
Believing in dreams.
Children.
Children represent endless hope, endless possibility.
Very nice.
That's why I get the big money.
You gonna ask Dr. Fo about that little Thomas embarrassment?
Oh, nobody would have been more embarrassed than Roy by that.
That pleading tone, live, on air, the whole country to hear.
Come on, you Nelson.
There's something going on here, and it's something big.
I just wish I knew what it was.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Wait here.
Wait a minute. What are you doing?
Just wait there. I'll be back.
King and Queen, I am invited to meet the royal majesties
and introduce them to the girls.
You know, George, I've met so many celebrities, but this takes the cake.
Doctor, I was wondering if for any reason I should be looking for another job.
Defoe losing grip on Quints.
That all is not well in Quintland where Dr. Alan Roy Defoe's hold on his cute quints
is said to be slipping. Nonsense, George. Pure utter nonsense.
I'm still the boss.
Mrs. Dionne, hear me out.
There's two sides to every story. I just want to hear yours.
As easy as that.
You think it's as easy as that after all the things you said about us?
I would say go to hell to you, madam.
But I'm a religious woman, so I won't.
People say that you're not a good mother.
People say that's why you lost the girls.
They don't know me. They don't know anything about me.
Then tell me. Tell me and I'll tell the world.
If my husband sees you here...
Oh, no, he'll shoot me.

This must be yours.
This kitchen, look at it.
You there baking pies.
It's like, it's like an illustration out of a magazine.
Maybe for you.
Good.
I'm glad you're here.
Good. Let's just act like this is any other day.
That's perfect for my purpose.
Fine. Then why don't you shell the peas?
Why don't I what?
Shell the peas.
This is the shell.
And those are the peas.
Oh, will you look at that.
You have children?
No, no. Not a one.
No, kids. That explains a lot.
Oh, who has time?
Oh, maybe if I could find some poor dame to have one for me.
Oh, no offense.
Now, listen, I came here to interview you.
Tell me. Tell me who you are.
Tell me what your story is.
When I was little, I had ten dolls.
And I took people that one day was gonna marry and have ten kids.
That's all I ever wanted, to have ten kids.
You must have married awfully young.
Oh, look at this.
Look at this boy.
Hold him, please.
Hold him? Oh, my.
When I was 16, all the girls from all over, the only one they wanted was an evasion.
It was a bon parti.
A good catch.
That surprises you, eh?
Maybe just a little.
He had one of the best farms.
He was a hard worker.
And there were only two people in the village with a car.
The doctor and the evasion.
You're the one who called him, huh?
He called me.
From the minute he saw me, there was no one else for him.
There, this way.
So my dream came true.
Ten kids.
And a good man at my side.
A good man, madame.
If you knew him before.
All this.
I hear you've made fresh attempts to get the quints back. Is that true?
I never wanted them gone.
But how can you possibly...
Did you see my house? Is it clean?
And my kids? Do they look unhappy?
So why are my girls living across the street?
But how could you cope with all your children and the quints in this house?
It's not hard. Not when you love kids.
Ask Madame LeBelle. She has 18.
What?
18.
Children?
Children in a house like this.
And she cooks and cleans for all of them.
And she even runs a store.
And she's a best-selling author.
And she spends all her time hunting for fertility stones.
Sorry.
Now, Zia, why don't you come and sit down?
Why don't we have a good talk?
You know what they're worth?
The girls.
Do you know? You couldn't even guess.
A million bucks.
That's their net worth. A million bucks.
I have children that are worth more than a million dollars,
and I can't afford to buy new shoes or cod liver oil for my kids.
And we have to live like this.
When was the last time you had a new dress? Hey, when?
I don't need a new dress.
Well, you're going to get one. And a fancy one.
And the kids are going to get new shoes and bikes and toys,
just like they get across the street.
It's our money. I want it.
And I want everyone to know who's been stealing it.
It's not important, Adila.
Nothing's more important than getting the girls.
Why don't you visit them?
I never let managers before a show.
Full visitation right at any time. You heard the government, Nana?
Go and find out if you meant it.
Mama, did you see my new dress?
Mine's yellow like a buttercup.
Yes, you all look so pretty.
So pretty I have to kiss you.
We're not allowed to have kisses, Mama.
Papa the First says it gives us germs.
Madam Dionne, I'm sorry. We have to get the girls ready for the show.
Nurse, she feels warm.
I'll get the doctor.
Is your throat sore?
It is.
And do you feel tired?
I can't wait to have you home.
Mrs. Dionne, is something wrong?
She's sick.
I examined the girls this morning.
She's hot.
Let me see.
All right, Emily.
Hardly warm. Probably just a cold.
Children get them all the time.
Take them all out. Girls enjoy their free playtime.
Kids get colds all the time?
Yes.
You've been keeping me away from my girls for years.
Telling me I'd give them fevers and sickness and germs.
Don't touch them, don't kiss them.
And now you tell me she can run around outside with a cold
because you don't want to stop the show.
Mrs. Dionne.
Come on.
Mrs. Dionne.
Come on.
Hey, come on.
Come on.
Come on. Come with me.
Come with Mama.
Come on.
Emily.
Come with me, Emily.
Come on.
Emily, come.
Come to Papa DeFau.
Come on, Emily. Come with me.
Come on, Emily.
Come to Papa DeFau.
Come on.
That's it. Come on.
That's it. Oh, yes, that's it.
Okay.

Good food, good health with Dr. Karen Phelps. Because children like Alison use so much energy,
their dietary needs are often different from those of adults. Some parents give their children
low fat products, believing they're better for them. But that's not always the case.
Take milk, it's less than 4% fat anyway. Most of the time, regular products are better
for growing healthy bodies. Brought to you by the Australian Dairy Corporation.

I told you to stop it. Why don't you eat a boogie? You don't want to listen to that.
My friends, tonight I bring you a new chapter in the saga of the Dionne quintuplets. And
I warn you, it will shock you. It will anger you. And it will irrevocably shatter your
illusions. Tonight, I have invited a world renowned psychologist to join me. This is
a man who one speaks of in the same breath as Sigmund Freud.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dr. Alfred Adler.
Doctor, I have asked you to study the case of the Dionne quintuplets. Please tell us
your findings. Thank you, Ms. Reed. The quintuplets live
like inmates of a modern orphanage. They are suffering from emotional starvation. Living
in a glass house with a constant staring of crowds is not conducive to normal human development.
More serious than this, psychologically speaking, is the separation from their parents. If this
continues, I anticipate serious emotional disturbances at some future time.
Thank you, Doctor. My friends, as much as it pains me to admit
this, I must tell you that I have been wrong. Tragically wrong. Like so many others, I have
been deceived into thinking that Dr. Alan Roy Defoe was a selfless, humble man whose
entire life is devoted to the quintuplets. But, as we have seen from the recent and deplorable
circus saints and sinners spectacle, Dr. Defoe is a man obsessed with his own notoriety.
Today, he clings tenaciously to the quintuplets, for they are his guarantee of continued fame
and fortune. And his grasp now threatens to strangle the dear little ones he was once
sworn to protect. But what? What, you ask of the parents? My friends, I have sat in
Elzier Dion's kitchen, and I have bathed in the warmth and love of her home. And I have
seen the other Dion children, fine, healthy boys and girls, their very normalcy, a contrast
to the pathetic little trained monkeys across the road. My friends, Oliver and Elzier Dion
have not now, nor have they ever been greedy imbeciles that the irresponsible and ignorant
press have portrayed them to be. And if, at one time, there were sound medical reasons
to isolate the girls from their family, those reasons no longer exist. And this very night,
my friends, at this very hour, five lonely little girls lie in their cots in a sterile
hospital ward and weep bitter tears for the life they have never known. Their little girlish
voices whisper in the dark, a plea we cannot continue to ignore. Mama, papa, mama, papa.
That was The Life We Live with your host, Ms. Helena Reed. Until next time, good night
and good bye. Leslie, it's Dr. DeFoe. I must speak to the
Premier. I'm sorry, Doctor, but Mr. Hepburn is tied up at the moment.
Let's hear your latest report from Quintland. Well, the latest report shows a noticeable
drop in tourism. And it's not just war jitters either. There's a marked decline interest
in the Quints. The D'Aunquintouplet doll sales are slipping. Revenues and royalties are down.
The advertisers are less keen. They say the girls are over-exposed.
Washed up at age six. And here they are, the royal couple. Queen Elizabeth has long expressed
the desire to meet the D'Aunquintouplet's and her wish is a royal command. Is everything
satisfactory, Mr. DeAun? Extremely.
Now, here is our list. Mr. DeAun, of course, is here and the children are sitting over
there. Let's go, girls.
Ah, Doctor. Now, the D'Auns will meet the King and Queen first. Your audience will occur
just after. But I'm...
Whose request was this? Doctor, I'm asking you to accept this as
a way of dealing with a difficult situation. For the sake of the girls.
I am sorry. It gives me great pleasure to announce the
long-awaited reunion of the Quintouplets with their parents, brothers and sisters. The guardianship
bill which made the D'Aunquintouplet's wards of the Crown has been terminated.
Effective of medium. The guardianship bill which proved so effective in the early years
of the Quintouplets has now been deemed no longer necessary. The D'Auns, Mr. and Mrs.
DeAun, are excellent parents. Elieva DeAun is a successful farmer and businessman. Mrs.
Elisere DeAun is respected throughout the community as a devoted wife and mother. The
Quintouplets will retire from public life to lead a normal life with their families.
I wish of course to publicly thank Dr. Alan Roy DePaul. His great contribution cannot be
overlooked. Dr. DePaul has had to resign his guardian in position to the Quintouplets due
to ill health. We wish him a very speedy recovery.

Congratulations, Oliver.
You see, I always said what an injustice it was, you being deprived of your kids.
Finally, our prayers have been answered.
And you, Clavis, you were praying for us all this time too?
I always said you were good parents, even when all the reporters were saying different. I stuck up for you.
It's terrible what gets written in the papers. Those people should be held responsible.
It should be a law.
Oliver.
Now that you're in charge, I just want you to know you have our full cooperation.
What do you mean?
We were thinking, uh... people still want to see the girls.
Even if the foe's gone, that doesn't have to change.
We're willing, that's all. We're willing to help you run the place, if you like.
Madame LeCrolles here had a wonderful idea.
Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie.
Well, the weather's been so bad and so much rain, they had to cancel the shows.
Why can't the girls play outside when it rains?
You could dress them up in raincoats. They'd still look cute.
You're not going to listen to them.
Isaiah, what do you think?
I'm grateful, my friend. So is Isaiah.
I hope you know it.
Yeah, and I hope you're expecting my bill, now that you're a rich man.
But this isn't the end, Oliver.
Think of what the girls could do for French language rights.
They can make public appearances to lobby for French school.
I don't know if that's good, but you're for them.
The d'unquin, the templates don't come cheap.
Oh, yeah.
Welcome to the venue.
We want the ring!
Marie.
I love you.
Why are you sad?
Because I...I have to leave you, my dear ones.
You have to leave?
For a while.
Where?
For a kiss for Papa Devo?
You...you were so tiny.
Take good care of them.
Are we going back to the room?
As soon as the new house is built.
Why? Why do we have to move?
Because of the quints.
Do they still have names?
There's too many to remember.
Will my friends still be able to come or will the guards chase them away?
Will people stare at us? I don't want to be stared at.
I don't want to be stared at either.
Hey, that's enough.
I don't want to hear any more complaints.
Let's go.
Hi, girls.
Hello.
There's people outside, but they're not going in the tunnel.
Because there won't be a viewing today, Ivan.
There won't be any viewings.
Not ever again.
You're going to have room in that house for 11 kids, Mr. Dion?
The new house will be built in that field.
There'll be 10 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, maid rooms, a music room.
One of the reception rooms will be done entirely leather.
And I'll have an office with a marble fireplace and a chandelier, a crystal chandelier.
That's where I'll conduct my business affairs.
And all around the perimeter will have a fence, a security gate.
You think that'll be necessary, Mr. Dion?
Dion quintuplets will always be of interest to people.
They'll have to be protected, like always.
There's no show today?
Today is a very special day.
Today you're coming home.
But we're already home.
Carols, this is the nursery, the hospital.
Where I'm taking you is your real home.
Where you'll be living with Mama and Papa.
Papa Defoe?
Ivan, Papa Defoe wasn't your real Papa.
He was your doctor.
Your real Papa and me, we want you to come home with us.
We're gonna be a family, all of us together.
Where's Papa Defoe?
Yeah, where?
They're coming home.
Where are you being?
We love you.
We're gonna be happy.
We'll all be together.
Go.
Did you know that Defoe had been hospitalized?
Mrs. Dion and I wish him a speedy recovery.
You know, there was never any animosity between us.
It was just something that was made up by the press.
We're gonna be happy.
And so ends the saga of the Dion quintuplets,
reunited in the bosom of their family.
Like all good fairy tales, this one ends happily ever after.
And so we say, good night, quints.
Happy, happy quints.

Are we getting closer to finding our missing executive?
The answer could be in London.
He called from London to say he'd be home for his birthday.
This is his Salesman of the Year award,
but do we give it to him or his mobile net digital phone?
Arden could also be almost anywhere in Australia,
as mobile net has more digital base stations here
and therefore works in more places
than either of the competing cellular networks.
We're getting him a birthday cake.
Well, he'll have his cake, but will he be home to eat it too?
We'll have to wait.

Goodnight, papa.
Goodnight.
Okay.
Go.
Give them time.
What if it's too late?
What if they've been away from us too long?
I told you it was going to take time.
They need to get to know us.

We do well there.

Sure. Why not?

I'll mix them with curls.
Movies?
Commercials? Tours?
Is that really what you want for them?
Why not?
People want to see them.
People will always want to see them.
They might as well pay for the privilege.
When? When did you decide it was all right to treat them
like no one else does?
I'm their father, Elcia.
I know what's good for them.
I would now like to introduce to you...

Good evening.
Australian rugby league officials offered an olive branch
to the News Limited sign-ups tonight.
Come back quickly and all will be forgiven.
ARL Chief Ken Arthurson made the offer after a successful day
stemming the flow of players deserting to News Limited ranks.
Fiona Pye reports that 60 top players are staying with the league.
ARL Chairman Ken Arthurson emerged from headquarters a happy man tonight.
Up to 60 players have pledged their allegiance to the league for five years,
among them 11 test players.
And it's believed they'll be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for their loyalty.
They've certainly come good with a good financial package for all the players
and from the feeling I get is that most of the players are going to sign.
I'm happy. I'm happy for saying I've ordered the ARL.
Obviously playing for Australia was a big issue in the thing.
The league boss even offered those who've signed with the Super League a second chance,
following reports they'd deserted the ARL under duress.
As far as I'm concerned, it's not too late if they want to get back and get back quickly.
One of those who may return to the fold is Raiders captain Ricky Stewart.
He was at the ARL offices today but refused to comment on reports
that he'd been offered a million dollars and the Australian captaincy to come back.
Ken Arthurson commented though.
Absolutely false. I don't know who told you that story.
The Cronulla Club, one of those facing possible expulsion,
tonight denied any link with the Super League,
saying any ARL action against the Sharks is unwarranted.
But the Super League still claims it's signing stars apace
and those on board are as solid as a rock.
The latest recruits, Super coach Graham Lowe as a consultant
and Brisbane player Willie Kahn.
Do you expect others from the Broncos to do the same?
I hope so. I mean, on my own, otherwise.
And one of the earliest camp switches, Canberra,
says it won't even attend next week's meeting with the league
over possible expulsion from the premiership.

West Australian Liberal Noel Crichton Brown,
who has admitted that his wife once took out a restraining order against him,
tonight resigned his deputy presidency of the Senate.
His decision has bailed out opposition leader John Howard
facing a revolt within the party.
From Canberra, Laurie Wilson reports.
It could not have been worse timing for the opposition leader,
in Perth, to spread the Liberal gospel.
Mr Howard has instead been sidetracked by the controversy
over Liberal Senator Noel Crichton Brown,
who admitted in Parliament last week he'd been the subject of a restraining order
taken out by his wife because of domestic violence.
I'm not a person who sits in moral judgement on others,
but I have one dominant responsibility above everything else in this matter,
and that is the welfare of the Liberal party.
For her part, Mrs Crichton Brown has strongly defended her husband,
saying the matter, which occurred some years ago, had been resolved.
I'm absolutely appalled at how some people in the Liberal party
have tried to use my personal circumstances for their own political advantage.
I want to say to Esther, I will do my level best to do the right thing.
But faced with the potential damage to the party
and the threat of a revolt within Liberal ranks,
Mr Howard made it clear it was really Senator Crichton Brown
who had to do the right thing.
And tonight the Senator announced he would be standing down
from his position as deputy president of the Senate,
but he made it clear he had every intention of remaining in Parliament.
That may not be enough.
Mr Howard has been told the feeling is so strong, some members could resign.
One backbencher, Ian Cameron, says there's probably not room in the Liberal party
for both him and Senator Crichton Brown.
Probably not.
So which one has to go, you or him?
I won't speculate on that either.
There's also talk of moves to overturn Senator Crichton Brown's preselection.

The body of a young woman who went missing in Sydney last Wednesday
has been found in Bushland in the city's north.
21-year-old student Frances Stizzoni was last seen leaving Macquarie University.
Her body was discovered late yesterday just metres from a busy road at Fenchers Forest.
Police believe she was murdered elsewhere and her body dumped.
Victorian police are searching for at least two teenage youths
who were killed over the murder of a young woman in the backyard of her family home last month.
Investigators believe 22-year-old Narelle Rogers disturbed burglars
taking items from the garage in Kerrangue in the state's north-west.
The childcare worker was bashed unconscious.
She died nine days after the attack.
A pilot and his student have escaped with minor injuries
when their plane crashed and exploded at Tyab near Melbourne.
The 22-year-old instructor and 33-year-old passenger were practising taking off and landing

The two people on board suffered burns and shock and are recovering in hospital.
Businessman and Carlton AFL President John Elliott is still hot under the collar
after being ejected from the MCG for smoking during yesterday's Carlton-Collingwood match.
He claims if it's OK for the Rolling Stones, it should be OK for him.
John Elliott may have missed the final stages of his team's victory yesterday,
but he joined in last night's celebrations for Steve Kernahan's 200th game,
which in turn meant skipping the morning constitutional with wife Amanda.
When he did greet the day, he was still smarting from his treatment.
I think it is very unastriding what happened yesterday and rather disturbing.
He was asked to leave the ground, according to Melbourne Cricket Club officials,
after twice ignoring warnings to stop smoking in and in front of the Keith Miller dining room
where he hosted the President's lunch.
I've just come back from Eastern Europe and people don't get treated like that there.
This is not the first time smoking in the Great Southern Stand has brought John Elliott into conflict with the MCC.
They locked horns over the issue during last year's final series.
He threatened legal action at the time but hasn't followed through.
I would like to get a solution to the problem rather than mess around with legal action.
The Carlton President says he's being singled out as others were smoking at the time,
as were recent visitors to the ground, the Rolling Stones.
They smoked all night and weren't thrown out.
There's nothing personal about this at all.
But Dr Lill says he's ready to compromise.
We will try to make some...
