All language subtitles for Mary Tyler Moore s01e09 Bob And Rhoda And Teddy And Mary

How will you make it on your own?

This world is awfully big.

Girl, this time you're all alone.

But it's time you started living.

It's time you let someone else do some
giving.

Love is all around, no need to waste it.
You can never tell, why don't you take

it? You might just make it after long

You might just make it after

Got a deadline, and you've just got to
help me. What do you need? A cup of

coffee. And Ted Baxter.

Ted Baxter?

Yes, I... To give a talk for my club,
I'm in charge of guest speakers, and I

don't have any guest speaker for
tonight. So can you help me out?

Tonight. But that's... Tonight! I know.

I guess you're entitled to the whole
story.

Uh, we had Dr.

Herman Davis lined up. You know, the
controversial... A commercial

who wrote that great book, Don't Be
Embarrassed About S -E -X.

But he backed out. He decided at the
last minute he was uncomfortable with

women.

Well, I don't know.

Ted's not very good at that sort of
thing. But Mary, it's just talking.

well, it's just talking that Ted's not
very good at.

Mary, if I were in your position, you
know that I would do anything I could to

help me.

I can see it's just too much trouble.
Well, Phyllis, let's just say that I

get Ted to ask somebody. If you agree to
talk, how long would you need him to

talk? I'd need him to talk 15 minutes.

Well, I suppose I could get Murray to
write something for him.

Great. Oh, great. Our subject for
tonight is the world today.

Never mind the coffee, Mary.

I'm really in a hurry. Do you really
help me? I just wish there were

could do for you. Phyllis, the only
thing I need is to get to work.

Listen, my car is in the shop. Do you
think you could drive me to work? Oh,

sure. Oh, thank you.

Let's see. It's 20 minutes there, 20
minutes back. Sure. If it's really that

important to you. Well, it would help.
Okay. Well, it'll take me 15 minutes to

get ready. But if you really want me to.
Well, no, Phil. Forget it, really.

Well, I'll postpone things. I'll move.

ready yet? Oh, not yet, Lou.

Now, coffee, we usually have coffee by
nine o 'clock and it's already, it's,

how come it's always the Minneapolis
clock that's on the blink?

Maybe it's because that's the clock we
use all the time, Lou.

I mean, if the Tokyo clock stopped,
who'd notice?

I need coffee. He almost made sense to
me.

Does anybody here know how to work this
machine?

I can do it.

Uh, where do you put the dime?

It's not that kind of machine.

Well, then I can't do it.

Morning,

everybody. Hi, Mayor.

Mary, do you realize that if the
Minneapolis clock was working, you'd be

minutes late? I'm sorry, Mr. Grant.
Don't apologize now. Go make coffee now.

can apologize later. Coffee, right,
right. Hi. Oh, Ted, I'm glad to see you.

Coffee, coffee, coffee. Coffee, coffee,
yes. Does anyone have a dime? Uh, see?

I needed to open the cabinet. The
handle's broken.

Ted, I've got a favor to ask of you.

Phyllis Lindstrom?

Well, she is in charge of the guest
speakers for her club, and she was

whether or not you would make a speech
at her club. It's a woman's club.

Well, if they wanted me, I assumed it
was a woman's club.

Well, see, I don't know what to say,
Mayor. I mean, I'm... Well, I'd love to.

Oh, Ted, thank you.

Oh, it's nothing. You know, this could
be a very interesting experience. I

mean... Talking in front of all those
people in person, I mean.

Now I'll be able to actually hear their
applause instead of just knowing it's

there.

Ted, I don't know how to break this to
you, but I don't think people sit at

at night applauding the six o 'clock
news.

Marie. No, I know just what you're going
to say.

Would you write a speech for Ted?

Oh, Mary, I'd love to.

Thank you, Marie.

Mayor. When do those ladies want me to
speak?

Well, tonight.

Tonight? Yeah.

Well, that doesn't give me much time for
him to prepare.

Well, what is Ted supposed to talk about
tonight? Oh, what difference does it

make? They'll love me.

Why, I've gotten tears by just simply
cutting a ribbon at a supermarket

Well, that's because they didn't think
you could do it.

What the heck am I going to talk about?

Well... I have this wonderfully amusing
anecdote about...

What happened to me when I bought this
suit?

No, Ted, I think what they want is your
personal view of the world situation.

He doesn't have one.

What they're going to get is my view of
his personal view of the world

situation. So all those ladies wanted
me.

Well, I better get to work. I've got to
write today's news, Ted's speech, and

finish my novel before six o 'clock.

Harry, I didn't know you were writing a
novel.

Reading one.

Tonight, Ted will be there.

No, forget it. You don't owe me a thing.

Eight o 'clock, Manning Hall.

No, really, Phil. You don't owe me
anything.

Well, I tell you, there is one thing. I
could use a ride home tonight about

seven o 'clock.

Oh, right. Of course, the meeting. How
could I forget that?

No, no. Don't not have your hair done,
Phil. Really.

Yeah, I know. The buses leave every 24
minutes.

Yes, Ted will be there. Bye -bye.

Ted will be where?

Oh, well, I just arranged for Ted to
speak at a women's club.

Mary, do me a favor.

Next time you do something like this,
you ask my permission first.

Wait, no, no. I'll save you the trouble.

Next time, the answer will be no.

Okay, Mr. Grandpa, why?

Mary, a karate expert's hands can get
him in a lot of trouble.

But what does that have to do with Ted?
Those hands are considered a deadly

weapon.

It's the same with Ted's mouth.

Hello. Hi.

Were you waiting to see somebody? I'm
waiting to see Miss Richards.

I'm Miss Richards.

Are you Miss Richards? Yes. I'm Dave
Kersen.

I'm a publicity man.

You've probably heard of me.

No, I can't say that I have.

I'm going to have to work on that.

Will, would you like to sit down? Oh,
thank you.

What can I do for you?

Will, I saw your name on the board
downstairs, and it said you were

producer of the news. Congratulations.

I thought you'd be the person to see
about getting some publicity.

You see, I thought if I could get some
of my clients on your news program, it

would really help my business a lot.

Oh, well, I think probably the man you
should see is Lou Grant. He's in charge

of the news. Was that Mr.

Grant who just left?

I don't think I'm ready for Mr. Grant.

I know what you mean.

So, who are some of your clients?

You've heard of the Midwestern Yo -Yo
Association?

Well, I'll tell you, Mr. Now, Kirsten, I
really don't see how a news program

could help publicize yo -yos. I guess
you're right. Well, look, here's my

If you ever need any publicity for the
station, just give me a call.

Oh, Mr.

Kirsten, the telephone number here is
crossed out.

Oh, I know that. You see, what happened
is the printer made a mistake on the

telephone number, so I got him for half
price.

If he'd only left my name off, I
probably could have got him for nothing.

Oh, fine.

Is this a pole? Yes, it's a pole.

Mayor? Yes, Ted?

About tonight, do you think I ought to
wear my dark blue suit or my tux?

Oh, well, no, I think the blue suit will
be fine. Okay. Mary?

Yes? I was just wondering, I mean, if
you're through with it.

Yes? Could I have my dime back?

something wrong.

Phyllis, will you stop repeating
everything I'm saying? Tell me what's

matter. Wait a minute.

Ted, your clubs. How did it... It didn't
go well, did it?

Well, it didn't go at all.

It just laid there.

Mary, you could at least have warned me
that he's never spoken in public before.

Phyllis, I did. I told you. What
happened?

Well, he wasn't so bad in the beginning
when he was reading his speech. I

mean... At least he finished. We
applauded. It was all very nice.

And? And then Helen Edwards asked him a
question.

Was it a hard question?

But yes, it was.

It was, are you for or against women's
liberation?

I don't know.

Was he for it or against it? Well, we
don't know.

He just stood there with his mouth. open
like he was going to say something, and

then a sort of glaze came over his eyes.

He giggled a couple of times, said
something nobody understood, and then he

asked if there were any more questions.

Were there?

Well, yes.

There were about an hour's worth of
questions and two minutes' worth of

Poor Teddy must feel just awful. Why
don't you ask him?

Well, I would.

But it's a little late to call somebody.
He's standing out in the hall.

In my hall?

He didn't want to come in unless he had
a personal invitation from you. Do you

want to invite him in? Well, of course I
do.

Ted, why did you come in?

I don't know.

Not sure.

Would you phrase that so it's not a
question? He seems to take orders rather

well.

Ted, get him here.

Yes, ma 'am.

Can I take your coat?

Another question.

I don't know. I just don't know.

Grant, I do have a very good reason for
calling you at one in the morning.

I don't know how to say this.

Why don't you just say it? I guess I'll
just say it.

Mr. Grant, a little while ago, Ted
dropped by, and he was kind of upset,

Grant, Ted's locked himself in my
bathroom, and he won't come out.

So then what happened, Ted?

So everything was going fine.

They were.

attentive and laughing at what I was
saying.

Then I realized I wasn't saying anything
funny.

I should have worn my tux.

Somehow you don't laugh at a man when
he's wearing a tux.

I don't know, I just, I think you're
blowing this whole thing up way out of

proportion. No, he's not, Mary.

I was there.

Yeah, but I mean, what does it matter if
a few women laughed? I mean, how many

could there have been anyway?

Twenty -five.

Actually, we're both right. There were
200 when he started.

Mary, come into my office.

We're just going to make coffee.

They're just going to make coffee.

Ted needs a drink.

Oh, well, Mr. Grant, I really don't
think that Ted's in any shape. Mary,

What, Mr. Grant?

Well, the man said that...

Kind of shape. He doesn't need milk and
cookies.

I got some brandy.

Another glass, please.

I never like to see anybody drink alone.

Oh,

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

When I was a kid, the whole family used
to practically live in the kitchen.

I've got to get going.

I just got rattled. I didn't know they
were going to ask hard questions.

I tried to help him out by asking a
question that I was sure he could

asked him where he bought his suit.

How was I supposed to know? I own three
suits.

Ted.

Why didn't you just open up your coat
and read your label?

Oh, it's sure just easy to second guess.

Everybody's a Monday morning
quarterback.

I'm telling you, Lou, I can't do it.

I've lost my charisma.

Whatever that is.

Ed, you know, I know just how you feel.
I was humiliated once.

You were?

Oh, yeah.

It was a high school play, and we were
doing Romeo and Juliet.

Well, you know the big scene, the final
scene, when Romeo thinks that I'm dead,

and I was lying out there, and Romeo was
standing over me, and he had just

plunged the dagger into himself, and I
suddenly had to sneeze.

I tried as hard as I could not to
sneeze.

Sneeze, and I did. I sneezed, and Romeo
looked down and said, Gesundheit.

And I looked up and ad -libbed, Thank
you.

It was awful.

A high school play, Mary. It's not the
same thing. Oh, but no, Ted. My mother

and father were sitting in the audience.

So were mine.

They were the first to leave.

Ted, my point is that I survived.

Thanks, Mary, for trying to make me feel
good. I wish you were better at it.

I think I'll go home now.

Chad, you're not going home.

He isn't? I'm not?

No.

You're coming with me.

I have a guest room.

I'll drive you to work in the morning.

It'll be nice.

Thanks, Lou.

I love you for that.

Good night, Mary.

Good night, Ted.

You know, Mr. Grant, that's really very,
very nice.

What's nice?

It's the only way I can guarantee you'll
show up for work in the morning.

Besides, it's a great excuse to get my
wife out of the guest room.

That was the senator making that
statement at the airport today.

Ladies and gentlemen, a serious warming
from, uh, warning from the University of

Minnesota's astphysmerics.

Ladies and gentlemen, Atmospherics
Department.

Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I... Dale
Wick, head of the Department of Atmo...

of that department, announced that in
five years, smog could reach legal

proportions.

Oh.

Lethal proportions.

I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, I seem
to be having a little trouble.

I'm, uh...

Just sorry.

And now for the lighter side of the
news.

Population explosion.

Oh, Lord, I'm sorry.

Mary, come in here.

Yes, Mr. Grant? Sit down, Mary.

The reading book came in for this week.

Take a look at the six o 'clock news
rating.

We went out.

That's right.

You know why?

I'll tell you. Because people are tuning
in to laugh at Ted Baxter.

Or as he might put it, Ben Taxter.

He's become the thing to do.

We're starting to catch on, Mary.

But I don't want that.

I don't want to do a successful comedy
show with Mr. Blooper.

I'd rather do an unsuccessful news show.
Is that too much to ask, Mary?

Mr. Grant, are you trying to say that I
am to blame for this? I mean, all right,

I admit I got Ted involved in that
women's club, but I really don't see how

makes all of this my fault.

Sit down.

Maybe,

Mary, you haven't noticed this about me
before.

But I'm one of the few people in my
field who doesn't have a peptic ulcer.

And one of the reasons for that is that
I'm able to delegate blame.

Nothing that goes wrong here is my
fault.

It's Ted's fault.

It's Murray's fault.

It's Gordy's fault.

This... is your fault.

It is, isn't it? So fix it before it
begins to look like it's my fault.

This is Ted Baxter saying good night and
good noot.

What was going on in there?

Oh, you don't want to hear about it. I
already did.

Hi, Ted.

You're just saying that to make me feel
good.

Hey, look, Ted, it was my fault. It was
a slow news day. I just couldn't write

anything exciting for you to read.

A revolution in South America, a crisis
in the Far East, and an earthquake in

Peru? No, Murray, it's not the news.

It's me.

I've lost something.

Has anyone seen my hat?

I think it's under Mary's cuff.

Ted, it's nighttime.

I know. I'm just not in the mood to be
recognized.

Excuse me, aren't you... No, I'm not. I
used to be.

He still looks a lot like him.

Hi, Miss Richards.

Oh, hi. Remember me? Sure. You're, um...
Dave Curson. Dave Curson. You remember.

Well, it looks like you're busy. I'll
come back. No, I wasn't, really. No, I

just about to close up shop.

What can I do for you?

Well, you see, I had this idea.

And it's probably not a very good one.

No, it's no good.

Mr. Curson, why don't you let me hear
the idea?

Oh, well, it was an idea I had for the
Midwestern Yo -Yo Association.

Uh -huh. You see, they're having their
Midwestern Yo -Yo Championships this

Sunday, and I thought maybe your
announcer, Paul Price, could accept

of the Year award. And then maybe he'd
announce it on the 6 o 'clock news, you

know, if he'd like to. But it's not a
very good idea. Never mind. Uh, Mr.

Curson, I wouldn't say that. You
wouldn't? I think I could get everyone

station yo -yos, too.

There's just one problem. You see, Paul
Price is going to be covering the hockey

game on Sunday. See, I didn't think
of... But, no, wait a minute. What if we

could get Ted Baxter?

Oh, Miss Riches, do you think you could?

Well, I... Good night, ma 'am.

Murray, do you think we could get Ted to
accept a Man of the Year award?

Oh, sure, but who'd be dumb enough to
give him one?

The Midwestern Yo -Yo Association.

Ted Baxter, Mr.

Yo -Yo.

Well, the shoe certainly fits.

Anybody got the correct time in
Minneapolis?

Subtract 15 hours from Tokyo and add a
day.

Thanks.

Yeah, I want you to answer these
letters.

Spam mail?

Not exactly.

Dear sir, the 6 o 'clock news is an
insult to my intelligence and a disgrace

television. I am not going to watch the
show anymore.

And neither are my mommy and daddy.

Did you ever get a hate letter written
in crayon?

seen Ted this morning? I think I might
have some good news for you. My good

is I haven't seen Ted this morning.

Oh, Lou.

Gotta see you about a couple of things.
What is it, Ted?

First of all, there are no bath towels
in my dressing room again.

There's no bath in your dressing room.

That's the second thing I want to see.

Who ever heard of an anchorman's
dressing room without a bath?

I want you to get on that right away,
Lou.

After all, it's not too much to ask for.
I understand Cronkite's got a sauna.

How'd you do?

I got 600 people to give him an award.

600 people all applauding, and all Ted
had to say was, thank you.

Well, it sure worked.

Ted's back in shape, and we certainly
needed him back in shape.

Ted's his old self again. He sure is.

You understand, of course, why I can't
bring myself to thank you for that.

Hi,

Miss Richards.

Hi, Dave Curson. Dave Curson, remember
me?

Ted Baxter's award back from the
engraver.

The towels are real nice, Lou. Thanks.

You're welcome, Ted. Maybe the next time
you can get me some cloth ones.

Ted, your award came back from the
engravers and Dave wanted to present it

you. Good luck.

Oh, isn't it lovely?

What does it say, Ted?

To Ted Baxter.

Read the rest of it, Ted.

Yo -Yo Man of the Year.

Got any more of these little award
things?

As a matter of fact, I do.

You see, I have another group here. It's
the Minneapolis Association of Shoe

Repairmen.
