Hello, I'm Murphy Brown, and you must be
my new... Ms. Brown, I'm Chip Clark.

I just want to say that I'm an extremely
qualified secretary with excellent

skills, although I've never been able to
hold on to a job, and I don't know why

that is.

Gee, Chip, this is just a shot in the
dark, but do you suppose it could have

anything to do with the hairstyle or the
mustache?

In what way?

Guys, guys, did you happen to read the
copy of Will's book that Corky gave you?

Will's book? You mean the story of a
little Dutch boy so full of love he gave

Paul Revere's horse the will to live,
thereby sparking the American

I'd rather pass a kidney stone.

I was desperate for something to read
last night. It was either this or the

Ollie North book, and I thought this
seemed more believable.

I got so caught up in the story that I
had to force myself to stop reading at 3

a .m. Does anybody know how it ends? I
can't help you, Murph. I'm using my copy

as a bumper guard in my garage.

If I hit the book, I know I'm too close
to the wall.

Jews brethren, before we start our busy
day... Mike, you didn't happen to read

Will's novel, did you? No, Audrey's
using it to press Maple Leafs.

Now, before we start our morning
meeting, I just want to take a moment to

a few thoughts I had on my way to work
this morning.

I was thinking about our parents and how
hard they worked and how much more

fortunate we are to have a job we love
and to be paid so well. Hold on a

he's up to something.

Dear Lord, it's the annual sponsor's
mixer.

I knew it, I knew it. I should have gone
with the good news, bad news routine,

but I tried something a little
different, so sue me, okay?

Look, the mixer is this Sunday night,
and attendance is mandatory.

We are in a recession, and it's
important now more than ever to keep our

sponsors happy.

I'm so sorry I'm late for the meeting,
but security just called and said my

husband's on his way up.

I thought Will wasn't due back from his
book tour until tonight.

He's surprising me. Isn't that sweet?

We haven't seen each other for six
weeks.

I have such a romantic evening planned.

Soft candlelight. Something frilly from
Victoria's Secret.

Pork chops.

What do you do with the pork chops?

Special delivery from Miss Sherwood
Forrest.

Bunny Buster!

Hi.

Well, hi. Long time no see.

Great book. How does it end?

Oh, sweetheart, this is such a wonderful
surprise.

Oh, I just couldn't wait to see it, so I
took an early flight. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Big surprise. We're all thrilled. What
about you?

Oh, hi, Murphy. What about it? How does
it end?

Well, the Americans win the revolution.

I know that. What happens to the horse?
Oh, sorry, Murphy. I'm not getting away

with the ending. You'll just have to
read it yourself.

Or wait for the movie to come out.

The movie?

Warner Brothers decided to make a movie
of it.

And they asked me to write the
screenplay.

in person and also explain to you why i
have to catch another flight for la this

afternoon they want to meet on this
first thing in the morning they're

this film their number one priority
sweetheart they're talking macaulay

for the role of honus the little dutch
boy

sweetheart and i'm disappointed too but
it'll just be a few more weeks and then

i i promise our lives will finally be
back to normal really you've been

promising me that for over a year first
you had to finish your novel then you

had to find a publisher then the book
tour happened now it's

I see your side of this. I really do.

But this is the biggest break of my
life.

You have your career. Why are you trying
to stand in the way of mine?

I'm not standing in your way, Will.

I was just hoping to get a little bit of
your attention.

But I guess you've made your choice.

Corky.

What is wrong with you people? Why are
you just sitting here? The sponsors are

going to think you don't care about
them. They're right.

I'll mingle for a while, Miles.

Thank you, Corky. You see? And a child
shall lead them.

So what are you doing? Get out there and
schmooze.

Dear Lord.

Miller Redfield. I heard he was back at
the network.

Back like a bad fluke. Not only is he
back, he's living my worst nightmare.

doing the weather on the morning show.
Serves him right. You cross picket lines

and steal anchor jobs and you get what
you deserve.

It gets worse. I hear he's working with
a puppet.

A dog wearing a sombrero called Senor
Cold Front.

You're going to have some fun at this
party after all.

Oh, Miller, over here.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't Tweedledee and Tweedledum
and somebody else.

We just wanted to congratulate you on
your new job. And your new partner.

Must be quite a challenge working with
Felt. Who's your agent? Geppetto?

Hi, Steve Arnold, Ace Parkblocks. How
are the old Parkblocks doing? You're

Miller Redfield, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Perhaps you saw my special report on the
aphid crisis in Kuala Lumpur.

No, but I love your puppet.

Where is he? Yeah, where is he?

Oh, he's here, but this...

This really isn't a good time. He's
sleeping.

Come in.

I spend $14 million annually advertising
on this network.

Wake his fuzzy little dog butt up.

Whoops, I think I hear him stirring.

Over here.

Here they are, guys. I want you to meet
one of FYI's newest sponsors.

Mr. Charles Calaruso, founder of Sparkle
Flush, the nation's number one toilet

bowl cleaner.

Mercy Brown, I'm a big fan, big fan. I
wonder if we might have our picture

later. Well, certainly, Mr.

Calaruso, was it? It would be a
pleasure.

Yeah, pleasure, all right.

Captured on film for eternity with Mr.
Toilet Bowl Cleaner. A hair like that,

should be Mr. Toilet Bowl Scrubber.

Corky, hi.

Miller Redfield.

We worked together once.

Like I wouldn't remember.

You're too kind.

Mind if I join you?

Yes. Thank you.

So, uh, how come you're here by yourself
tonight?

I'm not even supposed to be here.

I should be having a romantic dinner
with my husband right now.

Instead, he's in Hollywood and I'm
alone.

Being alone is lonely.

I know.

Here I am in Washington and all I have
is this puppet.

It's really not the way I thought my
life would go.

Seems like nobody gives you the chance
to be something you're not, but you know

you could be if you weren't stuck being
what you already know you are.

I know exactly what you mean.

You know, sometimes being alone with
someone makes being alone not so bad.

That's very profound, Miller.

Did you just make that up?

Yeah.

Boy, that did sound good.

Try to remember. You might want to use
it again.

Sometimes being... Sometimes when... No,
it's gone.

Each of my Slumbertown mattresses has a
five -year guarantee.

You wear it out, we replace it free of
charge.

I'll bet I could go broke with you.

Five -year guarantee, you say?

Oh, great. Another sponsor coming on to
me.

Don't do it, Fontana. Remember what
happened three years ago with the Jiffy

lady?

We have regular, firm, and extra firm.

You got extra firm written all over you.

Dear Lord, any minute the woman's jaws
are going to unhinge and she'll eat me

alive.

I have a factory showroom not far from
here.

Maybe you'd like to drop by later for a
little midnight madness sale.

Oh, God.

Is the Jiffy Lube lady all over again?

Saturday nights ago, I cleaned out the
grill under my refrigerator.

Five Saturdays ago, I... Oh, yeah.

Never mind.

Don't laugh, all right? I rented a
movie, Old Yeller.

I love that movie!

Maybe because when I was growing up, I
couldn't have a dog.

My sister was allergic.

Oh, see, I never had any brothers or
sisters. That's why I've always wanted

have a family. Two kids, a boy and a
girl.

Of all the combinations you could
possibly have, we both want the same

She's looking at me.

Do I have food on my face?

Now let's see him do the barometric
pressure in Portland while you drink a

of water.

No problem.

Oh, senor, what do you have to do to get
a drink of water around here?

Set yourself on fire.

They love that.

Putz.

Miller is really very nice.

Why did we all hate him so much?

I can't believe I've been talking to
Corky for hours and she hasn't gotten up

and left.

I feel like I can tell her anything.

Just don't be an idiot and tell her you
had your gin done.

I guess I should be going. I don't want
to keep you.

But maybe there's time for one more cup
of coffee.

Oh, gee, where did the evening go?

We'd like to go on playing all night,
but unfortunately this is going to have

be our last dance.

Disco Inferno!

That's my song!

I love that song!

I gotta dance!

You too, Corky.

Gee, Miller's a terrific dancer.

He knows all the good moves, and it
comes so easily to him.

And pivot, and turn, and two, and...

That's okay.

I'll just leave her a note.

Did we go to school together?

Beller, what are you doing here?

Corky, we have to talk about the kiss.

It was a terrible thing.

I was up all night thinking about it.

All I can figure...

is that I was feeling hurt because of my
fight with Will, and I threw myself at

you. No, no, no, Corky, this is all my
fault. I don't know what came over me.

You have to believe that I would never
make a play for another man's wife,

especially if she's married.

So we both have excuses.

That still doesn't make what happened
right.

No, no, it doesn't.

But all we did was kiss.

It was just one kiss, and we were
standing at the time.

That's true.

A standing kiss isn't the worst in the
world.

It can be our secret.

Friends should have secrets.

That is, if you think we can still be
friends.

It would seem silly not to.

To friendship?

Friendship.

This is between Corky and I.

Corky and me.

I. Me.

We're in my office. That makes it about
me. I. Me.

Corky, I love you. Stop that!

That second kiss said it all. Tell me
you didn't feel it, too.

I don't know how I feel.

My head is spinning.

It's probably so...

We have to talk.

What's there to talk about?

She's married and you're an idiot.

Okay, but things can change.

What if she weren't married?

Murphy, I know you don't understand
this, and I'm not sure I do

either, but that second kiss must have
meant something.

And I think I owe it to myself to find
out what.

That's why I have to go with him now.

Read it and weep.

Let's get out of here, Corky.

We'll take a drive up the coast.

Is there a coast around here anywhere?

God.

I'm two chapters away from the end of
this book, and I'm never going to find

what happens to the damn Porsche.

What are you doing here?

Murphy,

you have to help me.

Why? Why do I have to help you? Ever
since you left my office, I've been

by the image of you, Miller, and that
puppet in some sort of grotesque menage

trois.

Nothing happened between us, Murphy.
Neither of them laid a hand on me.

But I feel so guilty because something
could have happened.

I'm actually capable of having an
affair.

Don't worry about me. I didn't hear
anything except the word affair and

Two words I never even thought I'd use
in the same sentence.

I'm so confused.

I'm married.

How can I be attracted to someone else?

I don't know, Corky. I'm not good at
this stuff.

Isn't there some all -night radio show
you can call?

Excuse me, but the woman is in pain
here.

Now, it seems to me that if you're
attracted to someone else... There must

something missing in your life, like a
passion or a feeling of discovery that's

obviously been lost from your marriage,
if it was ever there.

It was.

Well, then you have a decision to make.

Now, I've only met your husband once,
and I don't even know this Miller guy,

I would have to say the most intriguing
choice here is the puppet.

Forget the puppet. Look, Corky, what
you're experiencing is some irrational

craving. It's like me and almond roca. I
know it's bad for me, but some days I

just have to have it. It's the same with
you and Miller.

The momentary pleasure would be great,
but then all you're left with the next

morning is a bunch of empty wrappers and
a bed full of crushed nuts.

Okay.

I'm going to end it with Miller.

You see? That wasn't so hard.

But there's just one thing.

Will you tell him he's out in the car?

What?

I can't do it. I'm weak when I'm around
him. Oh, come on, Corky.

He's going to take it very hard.

It might even destroy him.

Oh. Well, why didn't you say so? Let's
get the old boy in here.

Excuse me. Excuse me. But if you really
want to help, you should stay out of it.

You know, it's very important that she
tell him herself.

Otherwise, she's not confronting the
problem. She just...

Painting over bad plaster.

He's right.

I hate that.

You have to do this on your own, Corky.

But it's my house. I get to watch.

Oh, Miller, could you come in here for a
second?

He's at the curb playing I've Got Your
Nose with the cat next door.

I have rules about my house. No smoking,
no eating anything that could stain my

carpet, no Miller in the public area.
Murphy!

Oh, okay, but only as far as the foyer.

Miller, I have something very difficult
to tell you.

Something you may not understand.

Does it involve math?

No, Miller.

I really like being with you, but the
past... 24 hours have been very

I've said certain things.

Certain things that with a clearer head,
I never would have said.

Do you sort of understand what I'm
getting at?

Yeah, sort of.

No.

She wants to save her marriage and she
wants you out of the picture.

But you have to tell him.

I'm sorry, Miller.

But when I got married, I took a vow.

For better or for worse.

And even though things now seem worse
with Will and better with you, if I'm

going to be true to my vows, then to be
worse with Will is really better than

being better with you.

What?

I understand.

What the hell was that?

Esperanto?

Corky, I wish I could think of something
to say that would change your mind, but

for the first time in my life, words
fail me.

So I'll give you what you want.

I'll go.

Bye -bye.

But before I go, I just want to say that
I know in my heart of hearts, someday

we'll be together.

And until that day comes, I'll be
waiting.

I'll wait for you as long as it takes.

I'll wait until the Berlin Wall comes
down if I have to.

Goodbye, Miller.

Corky.

You did the right thing.

Did I?

I always believed that when you got
married, you'd never be attracted to

else. But I was.

And how do I know it won't happen again?

You don't. There's no guarantees in
life.

It isn't easy being an adult.

I'm just glad I have a friend like you.

You don't have to thank me.

I'm just glad that in some small way, I
was able to help.

Well, what do you say we call it a
night?

Oh, Murphy, I need a ride home.

Oh, for God's sake, are you trying to
suck me dry?

Oh, all right.

Geez,

when he said he'd wait for you, he
really meant it.

I don't know.

Let's give him a few minutes. Maybe
he'll forget why he's out there and

So, Corky, it looks like I'm not going
to finish Will's book tonight, and I'm

dying to know what happens to the horse.
Why don't you just tell me?
