All language subtitles for Mary Tyler Moore s03e13 Operation Lou

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 all.

Hello?

Mary, see you in a second?

Yes, Mr. Graham.

Mary.

I'll be leaving shortly on my vacation.
And while I'm gone, I want you to take

over. Well, uh, sure, Mr. Grant, but,
uh... Mr. Grant's office.

Just a moment, please. I'll check.

It's a Dr. Bundy's office?

Oh, yeah.

No, no, I can't talk now. Tell him I'll
call him back.

Can Mr. Grant call you back?

Uh -huh.

Uh -huh. Mary, don't take a message.
I'll call him back.

Oh!

Uh, yes, I'll...

Give him that message. Thank you.

Mr. Grant, you're not going on vacation.
You're going to the hospital.

Just give me the message, Mary. The
message is you are going to the

The doctor said he got you the private
room and he'll meet you at St. Matthew's

at 7 o 'clock.

Thank you.

Now, Mary, I know you've never been
fully in charge here before, but... Mr.

Grant! Hmm?

Is it serious?

Oh, just an old piece of shrapnel.

Shrapnel? World War II.

wounded. Let's just say friends.

But that had to be over 30 years ago.
Why do you need the operation now?

I don't know. I guess it kind of shifted
around and now it's in sort of a funny

place.

And the doctor thinks you ought to get
it out. It's really minor.

Why didn't you say anything until now?

Because I don't like a

I don't want the cards. I don't want the
flowers. I don't want the death watch.

So please don't tell anybody.

Not even Murray?

Oh, Murray's okay, but don't tell Ted.
Definitely not Ted.

Definitely not Ted what?

Uh,

I, uh... Oh, well, we were just
discussing the budget problems, and I

Mr. Grant whose salary we could cut. And
he said definitely not Ted?

Thanks, Lou.

All right, everybody, just a brief
announcement.

I am leaving today on a week's vacation.

While I'm away, Mary will be producing
the show.

Now, I have complete confidence in her.

I want you to treat her just like you
treat me, with respect, trust,

and a certain amount of fear.

See you guys in a week. Mr. Grant, take
care.

Susan, everything's going to be all
right.

Right. Have a nice time, Louis. Thanks,
Murray. Where are you going, Louis?

St. Matthews.

That's a great place.

I hear the beaches there are terrific.

Don't forget to send me a postcard. All
right.

Newsroom.

Oh, we'll have to talk to the producer
about that. Hold on just a minute.

Hello.

kind of thing.

Yeah, I do.

Well, it's a hospital, and coming in
empty -handed just, I don't know, it

wrong. That's okay. Forget it.

What do you got in there?

A chocolate malt.

I tell you, the last time I was in the
hospital, all I could think about day

night was a chocolate malt.

You see, Mary, that's the difference
between you and me.

One thing, though, I did as you asked. I
mean, I didn't tell anyone except

Murray that you were coming to the
hospital directly.

What do you mean directly?

Well, Ted overheard. Oh, Mary.

He insisted on coming with me.

Where is he now?

Well, he's down the hall. He stopped to
sign an autograph.

the hospital. Isn't this big like
something else?

Didn't want to worry his old friends.
How are you feeling, you big lug?

Suddenly worse.

I thought it might cheer you up after
the operation to watch the news.

So I got you one of these.

Listen, Mr. Grant, I really have to be
going. I have a date. I just stopped by

to give you the...

I guess we'd better be going. No, I'll
stay for this shift.

There's still two and a half hours yet
for visiting.

Jeff, you came with me. How are you
going to get home?

That's all right. I'll take a cab.

Well, I'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Grant.

we watch TV?

Let's turn on the old tube and watch
Cronkite goof up.

I don't think so, Ted.

What's wrong with this remote control?

That's for my bed.

I feel sort of tired. I'd like to be
alone.

Oh. Well, then you know what I ought to
do?

I ought to leave.

That'd be nice.

Do you need any blood?

Don't worry. I checked. You and Mary at
the same time.

Newsroom.

Oh. Well, is the crew there already?

Uh -huh. Just a second. Let me check.

Davis's news conference instead.

Right. Bye -bye.

Boy, you've really got things under
control.

Well, so far, so good. Hey, you're doing
everything just like Lou, but prettier.

Except for one thing. You haven't
checked my copy.

Oh, hey, come on, Murray. Now, go ahead.
I insist. It's your job to go over my

copy, even though you won't find
anything wrong. Oh, Murray, I don't...

ahead, kid. You could use the
experience.

What's I?

Oh, just spelling.

Oh, yeah.

I transpose those E's and I's all the
time. Oh, well, it's I before E except

after C. Yeah. Thanks for catching it.

It seems to me that calling a fire a
raging inferno is, well, you know, used

lot. And what did you change raging
inferno to?

Fire.

And that isn't used a lot?

Terrific. Why didn't I think of that?
Calling it a fire. F -I -R -E, fire.

Did it hurt when they took that shrapnel
out?

Not as much as when that went in.

Hi.

I brought you flowers again. I'm sorry.

Hello, Mary.

Hello.

Hello. So, how's everything?

Well, look, I better get going.

I'm glad you're feeling okay. Thanks for
coming by, Murray. Bye, Mary.

Bye, Murray.

So, how are you feeling, Mr. Grant?

Pretty good. Oh, I'm glad.

And I promise that's all the sympathy
you're going to get out of me. No more.

Good. Say, what's with you and Murray?

Uh, Murray?

You've already done enough for me by not
bringing me a chocolate malt.

Hiya, Lou.

Hiya, Mary.

Lou, I was talking to some of the nurses
down the hall. You're going to live.

But I do get tired easily, and I
shouldn't see people for very long.

know. Mr.

Grant, it's time for your shot.

Well, listen, I've got to be leaving
anyway.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye, Mary.

Wait a minute. Listen, nurse.

I'd rather not have that shot when
there's a woman in the room.

I mean you.

Look, why don't you just leave that here
and I'll give it to myself later.

Really, I don't know how. I was with the
Associated Press in Detroit.

A little something I picked up for you.

Ted, this is great scotch. The best. Top
of the heather.

Aged 22 years.

Top of the heather? You know, I've
always wanted a bottle of this.

Who gave it to you?

Nobody gave it to me. I went down to
Metropolitan Liquors and asked the man

the very best scotch he had.

Oh. Oh, they made a mistake. They left
the price tag on.

Look at that. $24.

Best friend's in pain. You can't do too
much.

Best friend?

Yeah.

I'm your best friend?

Yeah, I thought you knew that, Lou.

Ted, I holler at you a lot. No, you
don't. Yes, I do.

No, you don't.

There's Ted Baxter, the newsman, and Ted
Baxter, the buddy.

You don't yell at me. You yell at him.

Ted, let me ask you something.

If I'm your best friend,

Who's your second best friend?

Oh, I don't know. Maybe Marie, Barry.

It's, uh, I don't know. It's hard to
say.

Boy, I guess I've been running along.

Ted? Yeah?

Why don't you stick around and have some
scotch?

All right. I guess I can spare a few
minutes.

Here's to a speedy recovery.

Thanks.

You know, you never told me how you got
that.

Would you like to play some cards?

No, I don't feel quite up to that.

I'll read to you. What if I read to you?

Hey, this looks pretty good.

You just relax.

What do you say we skip right over to
the table of contents?

What sounds good to you? Tooth enamel?
How to give it the brush? Or the many

myths about pancreatic fluids?

miraculous properties of tooth and
mouth.

But not until recently was the evolution
of these properties fully comprehended.

To follow this evolution step by step,
we must begin with the tiniest...

Microorganism.

Until we reach that most complicated of
living species.

Marie, I think that one of the reasons
that you and I are having problems is

because we're both concerned about which
one of us is the boss.

And, Marie, it doesn't matter to me
which one of us is the boss.

Mm -hmm.

Okay. You're upset because I've been
checking your copy. Not checking, Mary.

Changing. You've been...

You've been arbitrarily changing
everything I've written with a squeaky

marker.

Well, Murray, maybe it looks arbitrary
to you, but it certainly isn't arbitrary

to me. I think I know more about this
than you. I have been writing copy for

years. You've only been checking it for
four days.

I am just trying to do what I think is
right.

Mr.

My, uh, my...

store and pick up some logs so later we
can sit in front of the raging inferno.

Yeah, about 7 o 'clock.

Right.

Well, as you were saying... Okay, look,
maybe unconsciously I have been

a little, you know, bossy, but Murray,
honestly, it's just because I'm trying

do a good job of running this...

I just wanted you to know I just got
back from the hospital. Everything's

to be hunky -dory.

Lou's checking out tomorrow.

Oh, gee, that's good.

Getting chewed out by the boss again,
Hummer.

All ready to go, Mr. Grant?

Uh, yes, sister.

Oh, aren't you forgetting this?

What?

Oh, yes. This explains a lot.

The nurses have been wondering why
you've been turning down the

Goodbye, Mr. Grant. Stay well now.

I think I will.

People seldom throw grenades at me now.

Don't you want that, Lou?

I've had it.

You're not going to leave it here, are
you? You want it? Can I?

It's yours.

From one friend to another.

not what you call a physical person.

You're one heck of a man, Lou.

One heck of a man.

Okay, Mr. Grant.

In we go. Do I have to? Yes, Mr. Grant.
It's the rules.

I'll do this.

You all set, Lou?

Why is it I suddenly feel like solving a
crime?

It's great to see you back where you
belong.

Well, thanks, Ted. Here you are, old
buddy.

What? A little memento.

Those good old days in the hospital.

Oh.

Ted.

That was very thoughtful of you.

What is it?

It's a paperweight thing headed me.

See, there's a piece of shrapnel. Huh.
And the calendar with the day when you

had the operation.

Uh -huh. And the hospital I .D.
bracelet. Oh.

Because I didn't have time to have it
inscribed yet.

What? Ted, this is really something.

You wanted to see us, Mr. Grant? Yeah, I
did. I'll just run along. I'll get this

inscribed for you. Ted.

That was very thoughtful.

Very thoughtful.

That heck of a surprise.

There's a bigger surprise coming later.
This is just one of those little things

one pal does for another.

Oh, thanks, Ted.

He's really a terrific guy.

Ted.

Yeah. I watched the show last night.

I'd like to know how an associate
producer who's been around here for two

can get things so fouled up. Explain to
me why.

While I was hearing Ted's voice
describing the arrival of the new water

at the Minneapolis Zoo, I was watching
film of the vice president returning

his trip.

and the narration match. I'm sorry. I'm
sorry.

Mary, it wasn't her fault.

No, Murray, it's okay. No, it isn't.

She did a good job, Lou.

My, you did.

And look, I'm sorry about all this.

Oh, look,

she was just covering for Ted, Lou.

Uh -huh.

Listen, I think it's time we stopped
blaming

Ted. For all our goof -ups.

Our goof -ups? That's right. That's
right. I think we've used him as the

scapegoat long enough.

Scapegoat? Scapegoat.

Lou Grant?

Yeah?

Terrific.

Terrific. All right.

Get a... Get a... Get a crew right over
there.

If we hurry, we can get it on.

Go on!

Talk about the old Grant luck.

And on my first day back.

What is it?

The police have four hold -up men
trapped in the bank across the street.

Right across the street.

If we hurry, we can get it on film and
we'll be the only station in town to do

it. What a welcome home present.

Thanks for coming, Murray.

I'll be just a second.

How's the film? Ah, the crew said they
got great stuff. Well, I hope Ted can

handle that. I didn't have time to make
all the words simple.

Knock that stuff off about Ted.

The sales were up one and a half.

Volume on the New York Stock Exchange
was 13 ,250 ,000 shares.

Here it comes.

I've just been handed this bulletin, but
it'll have to wait.

What?

I have something that's more important
than any bulletin could possibly be.

What could be more important?

I'd like to devote the closing two
minutes tonight to a special tribute.

A tribute to a heck of a guy.

What's he doing?

happens to be the producer of this
newscast who was in the hospital this

week for a delicate operation.

It was touch and go for a while as a
team of dedicated surgeons went about

removing this.

This.

This. New France spilled his blood on
the battlefields of France so that we

might all be free.

I'll spill his blood.

the Axis menace.

Now it's time for us to do our part.

I personally, as of this moment, am
boycotting sauerkraut.

That was a greenish missile.

I urge you to do the same.

Now it's true many people may be saying,
big deal, Ted, you don't like this

stuff anyway.

Well, that's true.

But the point is, there's still thought
that counts.

So what do you think? you say, Mr.

and Mrs. Twin Cities?

It's your turn to stand up and be
counted.

Don't do it for me.

Do it for Lou Grant.

And yourself.

Oh, here he is now.

Welcome back, Lou.

Good news and good night.

Why'd you call me off like that, Lou? I
had 30 seconds of tribute left.

Ted.

Ted, get in there and stay there until I
come in.

Yes, sir.

I think you two better get out of here.
Mr. Grant, don't you think you ought to

cool off a little before you talk to
Ted?

Why don't you wait until morning?

Mary!
