All language subtitles for Mary Tyler Moore s02e19 More Than Neighbors

Who can turn the world on with her
smile?

Who can take a nothing day and suddenly
make it all seem worthwhile?

Well, it's you, girl, and you should
know it.

With each glance and every little
movement you show it. Love is all

need to waste it. You can never tell,
why don't you take it?

You're gonna make it after all

You're gonna make it after

and have something else. No, no, I'll be
fine, thanks. You're being so nice

about this, considering I just rammed
into the back of your car. Oh, well,

listen, don't worry about it. It was
just a little dent.

I'm lucky. You can hardly see it from up
here.

Well, I can still see it. Maybe if we
went up on the roof.

Listen,

the whole thing was partly my fault,
too, probably. I mean, if I'd been

in the rearview mirror, I would have
seen you coming and taken off faster.

you if you got your car fixed and just
gave me the bill? Well, yeah, but don't

you want your insurance company to pay
it? Oh, I'd love them to, but I had a

claim a few months ago, and right after
that, they raised my rates again.

Oh, would somebody else?

I'm afraid so. I seem to have this habit
of fastening my seatbelt while I'm

driving.

Like just a few minutes ago, I was
reaching to fasten it, and I just looked

for a second, and then I looked up, and
there you were.

first in automotive history. You know
that? An accident caused by seatbelts?

Hey, you have really done fantastic
things with this apartment. Yeah, thank

Are you a decorator? No, no, I work in
the newsroom at WJM -TV.

Oh, what do you do there? I'm an
associate producer of the news.

What does an associate producer do,
anyway?

since some hero is actually Joanne
Forbes. This is Rhoda Morgenstern.

You mean she's the... Uh -huh.

What's so funny?

Nothing. I just thought if I started
laughing, you two might join in. Oh.

Hello. Hi. Hey, would you like some
coffee? No, thanks, ma 'am. You know

You two have a lot in common.

Rhoda's in charge of window decorating
at Hempel's department store, and Joanne

here is a buyer for Noblesse Wilson.

No kidding.

Yeah. That's a good store.

I saw a scarf there I really wanted to
buy, but I figured it looked pretty

walking around naked in this great
-looking scarf.

Listen, I always check out your window
displays, and they're always really

terrific. Not like ours.

Of course, on the budget they give me, I
have to do mine with the cray paper and

balloons.

Will you stop putting yourself down?

Your windows are great, too.

Well, not really.

Mary.

Malaba, but this is ridiculous.

The Gopher Magazine?

That's my alumni magazine, University of
Minnesota.

Oh, did you go there? Yeah, just for two
years.

What house were you in? House?

Oh, you mean sorority house. Oh, I was
at Gamma Gamma Delta.

Oh, gee, that sounds funny to say after
all these years.

Gamma Gamma Delta.

Isn't that the wildest coincidence?

I was a GGD at Northwestern. You're
kidding.

I was in the Sharkettes.

The what?

The Sharkettes. The ladies' auxiliary to
my neighborhood gang.

Listen, when you were pinned by a shark,
that meant to the wall.

Well, I'll let you two sorority sisters
alone for now. I guess you want to munch

grape leaves and chat some Greek. Oh,
come on.

I got this letter I have to write. My
mother sent me a photostat of an airline

ticket and told me she'd use it if she
doesn't hear from me.

Nice meeting you, Joanne. You too. Hey,
listen, Mayor, if I ever finish this

letter to my mother, you want to play
some tennis? Yeah, terrific.

Okay, bye -bye. See you later.

Hey, do you play tennis?

No. But she just said... Well, Rhoda and
I just climb the fence of the high

school and sort of bat the ball around,
but I'm really awful.

Oh, we sound perfectly matched. Would
you like to play tomorrow?

Well, okay.

warn you rhoda and i have been sort of
making up our own rules as we go along

like what well for one thing we don't
play with a net then we'll

play tomorrow all right unless i wake up
with whiplash kidding

Okay, shoot.

555 -4200.

Extension 2413.

Ah, it's a pleasure.

Where have you been?

In the film library, checking on the
footage you asked me about.

What's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing's wrong. I enjoy being
your personal secretary.

I got a call. No, you didn't get a call.
You got two calls.

Two personal calls.

Somebody named Joanne and somebody named
Rhoda.

What have you been doing?

Well, I was just, uh, men's room, Lou.

Everybody's got more important things to
do around here than work.

What's the matter with him?

Oh, come on, Marie. You should know by
now that hollering is... just his way of

showing affection.

Well, it's a good thing he doesn't like
us more or he'd tear us apart.

Extension 2413, please.

You call all your friends?

Mr. Grant, I haven't taken my coffee
break yet.

When I started in news, nobody took a
coffee break.

We didn't stop working to drink coffee.
We drank coffee while we worked.

We were newsmen. We were proud.

We wore our hats in the office.

the office? Because it was a good place
to keep your press cards?

Because when that phone rang, we had to
go fast. We didn't have time to put on

our hats. You people were... Hello,
Joanne. Hi, it's Mary.

Oh, and you called?

That was my boss.

Yeah, I guess you could say he's kind of
cute.

want to see me about?

Oh, yeah, probably about the way you've
been using the copying machine.

Yeah, I want to talk to him about that.
What's wrong with that darn machine

anyway? Well, nothing that I know of. I
thought I'd save some money, so I took

one of my fan pictures and ran off 50
copies.

Didn't come out too good.

Ted, you can't use that machine to copy
a photograph.

You telling me?

Let's see, Ted.

Why didn't you put your face in the
machine?

after my nose came out squashed flat.

Well, these aren't much good. Are you
going to throw those away?

Oh, yeah.

Well, look, Ted, before you do, may I
have one of your pictures?

Well, sure.

Kind of surprised you want one.

Thanks, Ted.

Throw to Morgenstern, please.

He's docking me for the copying machine
costs.

Then you'll just have to pass the
charges on to your loyal public.

Hey, that's a good idea, Murr.

I'd get the kids to pay for it.

They could color them in.

Thanks, Murr.

Well,

would you like a diet cola?

No, I'd like a chocolate milkshake.

racket, Mary. You ought to get one of
these metal ones.

I'd like to, but I don't think I can
afford it.

Hey, one of the guys I date is the pro
at the club. This racket usually sells

for $30. He let me have it for $25, so
I'd save $5. On the other hand, I could

save $25 if I keep my old wooden one.

Anyway, it's sort of a family heirloom.
My grandmother used to beat rugs with

it.

You can never tell where I hit you.
Yeah. Only thing that's left is the

$110.

But that little scratch?

Well, it was sort of a deep little
scratch.

Oh, well, listen, Mary, remind me to
give you a check for it. Yeah, I will.

Don't hurry, though.

Hi. Do you have any old blanket I could
borrow?

Come on in.

Lars and I are taking Bess on a picnic.

I'm sorry. I didn't know you had
company. Oh, Joanne Forbes, this is...

Lindstrom. Happy to meet you.

Joanne, the buyer.

That's right. Oh, I know all about you.

Oh, it must be fascinating traveling all
over the world, buying clothes in all

those exotic places.

Well, the most exotic place I go to is
the Garment District in New York.

It must be fascinating traveling to the
Garment District.

Oh, who won the tennis match? Oh, Joanne
did. No contest. Two sets in a row.

she a wonderful sport?

Mary, you're a wonderful sport.

I've beaten her in almost every game
we've ever played, and she never loses

temper. She's a wonderful loser. Mary,
you're such a good loser.

That's because I've had so much
practice.

Well, where'd you play? The school?

No, we went to the Lakefront Tennis
Club. Well, I'll see if I can find that

blanket for you. You belong to the
Lakefront Tennis Club? Well, actually,

-husband belonged.

I got his membership as part of the
settlement.

Well, maybe you've seen him, Mary. He
plays down at the high school now all

time. Oh, yeah? Is he sort of tall,
sandy hair, great looking?

That's him. Yeah, I see him there all
the time. Boy, he sure plays a lot.

Mm -hmm. He played even more when we
were married.

Then one day when he was out playing, I
found his racket at home.

We should join a club like that. It
would be so nice for Beth.

That's our daughter.

And it would give us a chance to meet
some interesting people.

So many of our friends seem to be
dermatologists.

Well, why don't you come over sometime?
We'll play doubles.

Oh, I'd love to. How thoughtful. Here's
your blanket. Thank you, Mary.

Mary. Hmm?

Lars and I can't use our tickets to the
symphony this afternoon, and I was going

to give them to you and Rhoda, but,
um...

This is much better.

Well, would you like to go?

Oh, that sounds like fun. I haven't been
to the symphony since... You want a

confession? I've never been to the
symphony.

Well, what do you say we try it, then?
Great.

I'll go shower, change, and I'll be back
at two, okay? Great. Thank you. Oh,

you're welcome. I hope I see you again.
Oh, thank you. Bye -bye. Bye.

Mary, she's a lovely girl.

The two of you just look as if you
should be friends, not like, you know,

and that.

You look like a cheerleader for a school
of nursing.

It is a tennis outfit that I bought.

There's nothing wrong with dressing
correctly, Rhoda.

You think I don't know that?

I dressed up just to come down here.

Changing your sweat socks isn't dressing
up.

Mayor, didn't you feel...

conscious climbing over the schoolyard
fence looking like Princess Grace?

Oh, well, we didn't play at the school.
Oh.

Joanne took her to the tennis club.

Oh, the tennis club. I bet when you
climb the fence there, they have people

give you a boost.

Listen, hurry up and change. We've got
to go look for my new tires.

Oh, Rhoda, I can't go.

What do you mean you can't go?

What she's saying is she can't go.

Eric Severide, for that analysis of what
she just said.

Well, Rhoda, the tire thing wasn't
definite.

Oh, that's okay, Maeve. If you've got
something better to do, just say so.

no, it's not a question of better or
worse. Yes, it is. A date is definitely

better than browsing through used tire
lots. So it's going to the symphony.

Oh, the symphony?

Rhoda, look, I'm sorry. I completely
forgot about the tire thing. And Phyllis

did have these tickets to the symphony.
So, uh, Joanne and I are going.

Joanne, huh?

Well, that's great. You can wear your
tennis outfit and jump over the

pit to congratulate the conductor.

Rudy,

you don't have to be sarcastic. I just
wish you'd told me that you were such a

classical music fan. I'm not. Because I
would have promised to hum Beethoven to

you as we schlepped among the recaps.

He didn't want to talk to me.

Hey, listen, Rhoda, you and I have been
friends for too long to be mad at each

other over something silly.

Oh, good, I'm glad you feel that way,
too.

What, lunch today?

Which, yeah, I'd love to, really, but I
can't. Mr. Grant's expecting a man in

from Washington, and since he's not
going to be here, he asked me if I would

stay and sort of show him around.

No, it is not Henry Kissinger.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Bye -bye.

Hi, Mary.

Joanne. Oh, come on in. What are you
doing here?

Oh, I just thought I'd drop in and see
if you want to have lunch at the club.

They're having a tournament we can watch
while we're eating. If you don't mind

picking a tennis ball out of your soup
occasionally.

Oh, that sounds like fun, but I can't.
I've got to stay here. Oh, that's too

bad. A lot of great -looking guys have
lunch there. Oh, you're talking about

Antonio's. You're right. I just had
lunch there.

Well, you know, Tim, we're talking about
a tennis club.

Oh, I must go there sometime.

Sorry, Joanne Forbes. This is indeed Ted
Baxter. Hi.

Am I mistaken, or did I see a crazy
little magical thing happen when we made

contact? Well,

I don't know.

Did it?

I thought I saw a sudden glint in your
eye there.

Well, that's probably because I wear
contact lenses.

Oh. Well, uh, you ever watch my show on
The Anchorman? I don't know six o 'clock

news, you know. Oh, I'm afraid I'm never
home in time to watch at six.

Oh, well, you could see some of my
tapes.

I could take you down to the technical
place and we could see them through the

thing.

Well, I'd really like that, but I've got
to get going soon.

Okay, then I'll watch them myself.

Have you heard that guy from Washington
get here yet? Oh, no, Mr. Grant. Oh, no.

Not enough people are watching me at six
o 'clock. Maybe I should be on later.

Good idea.

How about a half hour after the Star
Spangled Banner?

I'll be down at the technical place,
Mayor.

Oh, they just raised property taxes
again.

Boy, is Ted ever going to give a
blistering editorial on this tonight.

Why should Ted care? He rents an
apartment. But I own a house.

One plate to work. Everything you're
involved in is so important.

Mary, my ice bucket's empty.

Oh, well, the freezer is broken again,
Mr. Grant. They're sending some ice over

from the liquor store. Well, they'd
better hurry.

Since I got back early, I can take care
of that guy from Washington, so you can

go to lunch if you want. Yes, sir.

Does she work here?

No. She can go to lunch, too.

The second bill from the body shop came
today. Oh, yeah. Remind me to give you a

check for it.

Newsroom, Rhoda.

Oh, hi, Rhoda.

Uh, no, she just left for lunch with a
friend.

Uh, Joanne something.

Uh, do you want me to take a message?

I can't give her that message.

you what, why don't I play on the side
of the best player and be your handicap?

Well, it's more fun with a fourth
player, and since Sally's out in the

was thinking... Oh, listen, as long as
you mention the subject of cars. Oh,

right, I got my checkbook right here.
Just remind me. Well, anyway, I thought

your friend, what's her name, might like
to play with us. Oh, Rhoda.

No, the other one.

Phyllis? Phyllis. Well, Phyllis and her
husband are away for the weekend, but

gee, I think Rhoda would love to play
with us. I'll call her.

Keep up with us?

She plays about the same as I do.

Oh, yes, but Mary, you've been playing a
lot lately. You've really improved.

Hey, have I? Yes, you're much better.

Look, maybe we can find a fourth at the
club.

Yeah, but I tell you, Rhoda is just, you
know, she's a, like, a natural athlete.

She'll make a great fourth.

Well, okay then.

Uh, Mary, does she have the right
clothes to wear? I mean, I wouldn't want

to feel out of place if she didn't have
the right clothes.

I think she can probably find... Hey,
Joanne,

why don't you want Rhoda to play with
us?

Well, it's not that I don't want her to
play.

It's just that some of the people at the
club aren't as, well, liberal as you

and I are.

Liberal?

You mean because she's Jewish?

Oh, listen, Mary, it's not me.

It's just the rules.

I mean, if it were up to me, I'd let
Jewish people in. Oh, good. Oh, Joanne,

can't tell you how glad I am to hear
that.

Because I would hate to think that you
have anything against me.

Why would I?

Well, I'm Jewish.

kid about something like that.

But you don't look... Don't what?

Well, act.

Well, I mean, you have to admit...
Joanne, I'm not Jewish. I knew that.

Didn't you think I knew that?

No, I don't think you knew that. I think
for a minute there, you weren't sure,

and it made a difference.

Well, it did not.

Oh, come on, Mary, let's play tennis.

No, listen, you go ahead and play
singles with Sally.

Well, okay, if you don't want to.

Well, you know, I better get going.
Sally's down in the car waiting.

Oh, listen.

Speaking of cars, you asked me to remind
you about the check for mine. Oh, yes,

Mary, be sure and remind me. I am
reminding you.

You mean now?

Please.

Okay, sure, sure.

That was 105, right?

Ten. Ten.

Look, Mary, I know you think I'm a
bigot, but I'm not, really.

that I've always kind of traveled in my
own circle of friends, and I've just

never had a chance to know any Jewish
people very well. Even in the garment

center?

I meant socially.

Well, if you ever feel you want to know
one better, boy, I know a real good one.

Oh, fine, fine. Let's do that sometime.

But not now. Well, no, not now, see,
because I've really got to go. I tell

what, we'll have lunch one day soon.

You, me, and Rhoda, okay?

Bye.

Whoever that is, your knock needs work,
but come on in anyway.

Hi. How are you? Play tennis?

No. No, I was just wondering if you were
doing anything.

Just writing my mother.

Again? Still.

I've been working on this letter for
over a week now.

Do you want to hear what I got so far?

Yeah.

a pretty good start.

Well, listen, if you ever finish that
letter, would you like to see a movie or

something? Yeah, that would be fine.

Okay.

Anything in particular that you want to
see?

No, no. Any movie you want to see is
fine with me.

Rona, aren't you going to say anything
at all about what happened between us?

It crossed my mind.

Why don't you?

I decided it would bug you more if I
didn't.
