Um, I think Mankowitz wrote it. Um, then uh Barbara Stanwyck 1950, No Man of Her Own. That one was great, and I hadn't seen that one in a long time. I I actually think this could maybe be like you could throw those into one episode, but they also could also deserve their own. Okay. Um, have a wonderful day. Bye.
