All language subtitles for Mary Tyler Moore s03e18 The Georgette Story

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 have the time,
why don't you take it?

You're gonna make it after all.

You're gonna make it after all.

of the bottom -rated news station in
Minneapolis.

Well, how can that be? There's nothing
below the bottom.

See?

We're next to the bottom.

No kidding?

Oh, boy, I never thought something like
this would make me happy, but this is

terrific. If only we could keep it up.

You know what this could mean? A
congressional investigation of the

system? Boy,

am I pooped. Hey, Ted, the new ratings
came out.

Ted, come back here.

Oh, no, you just want to make me feel
like the ratings are my fault. No, Ted,

the ratings are good.

Look. Go on.

Oh, not bad.

Not bad?

What do you mean, not bad? That's the
best we've ever done.

Well, you guys may be satisfied, but not
me. You know how I am in my quest for

perfection.

Georgette. I was supposed to meet Ted.

But don't bother him. I'm sure he'll be
right out.

I don't want to bother you either.

I feel like you've been massaged by a
thousand little hands.

I'm sorry they make me say that.

You're a real cutie, you know that?

Thanks. What else you got?

Wrinkle cream.

Comes in three aromas.

Fresh strawberry, fresh banana, and
fresh unscented.

I don't think I want Edie to smell like
a banana.

I don't like to smooch in public.

I'm sorry, but can you go now?

Sure, only I'm a little tired tonight.

So I'm going to go right home and log a
little fact time.

I'll call you tomorrow, maybe.

He really was tired. I mean, all he had
to do was watch him on the show tonight.

Yeah.

Wouldn't it be fun, just you, me, and
Rhoda, huh?

Georgette? What?

Oh, thank you. I'd like that a lot.

Okay, good.

I tell you, I still have a little work
to do, but why don't you meet me at my

place around 8 o 'clock?

All right.

Okay.

Say, Georgette, I'll take one of those
wrinkle cream things.

in such a good mood after Ted stood her
up like that, and he does it all the

time. Why don't you say something to him
about it? Well, I can't. I'm not Miss

Fix -It. It's none of my business.

About all I could do was give him a
long, dirty look. What'd he do?

Well, you know Ted. He thought I was
coming on with him.

You know what really kills me? I am the
one who introduced Ted and Georgette to

each other. Mia, I met a guy who'd be
really great for Georgette.

He's sensitive, he's kind, and loving.

Wait, what am I doing? I almost gave
away a guy who's sensitive, kind, and

loving.

I don't know. Maybe you are right. She
must like Ted. I mean, if she didn't,

wouldn't go out with him anymore. Right.

I didn't like him, so I didn't go out
with him anymore.

You went out with Ted? Yes, once. When?
Only around the holidays.

Why? I don't know.

I get a little crazy around Christmas.

There was old Ted with his silver hair
and his jolly ho -ho -hos.

the figure for me.

Well, why didn't you tell me? I did. You
asked me, what'd you do last night? And

I said, I went out with some jerk. I
just didn't tell you his name.

Well, I sure wish you hadn't told me
now. Why?

Because when I heard you went out with
Ted, I painted the doorknob.

Does she do that every time she shakes
hands?

No, no, she was painting.

Mary, I just love your apartment.

Well, you've been here before. I know,
but I just love your apartment.

Thank you.

Oh, this is for you, Rhoda. This is for
you, Mary.

Well, what are these for?

Well, you two didn't let me pay for
dinner last night, and I wanted to do

something to say thank you.

I hope you like them. You made these?

I love them.

Oh, look at this.

I'm going to have to get a little couch
to go with this.

Thank you, Julie.

Who's that one for?

Oh, this is Ted's laundry.

You do Ted's laundry, huh? Yeah. He
likes the way I fluff and fold.

Rhoda has for you.

Sure.

Oh, no, that's silly, Georgette. I mean,
I don't care if Ted knows I've

introduced you to somebody else.

Well, let him be mad. I'm not afraid of
Ted Baxter.

Bye -bye.

Turn up the sound and see if you can
figure out what's going on.

Now for our closing humorous notes.

In Stanford, Connecticut...

excuse from jury duty, but he came up
with a very good excuse.

He was a defendant.

And that was our humorous note for
today.

This is Ted Baxter. Good night and good
news.

I haven't seen Ted so angry since they
cancelled my mother the car.

Little did I suspect we'd be harboring a
backstabber in our very bosom.

I'm going to reveal the name of that
person.

The backstabber is... Isn't this where
the lights go off when Ted is found dead

on the floor?

The backstabber is Mary Richards.

Ted, look, couldn't we talk about... Who
has deliberately set out to poison the

relationship between me and my woman.

Ted. Admit it, Mary.

Tonight, Georgette's going out with a
guy that you fixed her up with. Yes,

I really don't see... She admits it. Oh,
okay, Ted. She admitted it. Is that it?

No.

I also want her to admit that she made a
mistake and she won't do it again.

Mary, tell him you made a mistake and
you won't do it again.

I'm not going to say anything like that.

How's that, Ted? That good enough for
you?

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm going to the mat on this, Lou. This
is big.

It's not like the fresh towels from my
dressing room.

I'm not giving in this time.

I'll tell you what, Ted.

I'll talk to Mary, and I'll get back to
you later.

Say, how about those fresh towels?

Okay, okay, okay.

Mary first, then the towels.

Mr. Grant, you don't have to say
anything. I'll be okay.

No, let's talk.

No, really. I'm fine. Let's just forget
about it.

No, I can't forget about it. Oh, well,
that's really very sweet of you, Mr.

Grant, but honestly... Because I agree
with Ted.

You agree with Ted?

Why?

Because I don't think you should go
messing around in Ted's personal life.

Well, I don't see it that way, Mr.
Grant.

Sit down.

Mary.

liable to affect Ted's work.

I don't see how this has anything to do
with work. In the same way as my rule

about nobody at the station being
allowed to date Ted.

We don't have a rule like that.

Oh, Ted, you don't have to make it a
rule. It just works out that way.

Which is why that girl is very important
to him. Yeah, but she's very important

to me, too.

Mary, you're just gonna have to see this
my way.

I can't excuse you. This isn't settled
yet.

Well, then I'll just have to go anyway.

You're going to leave?

Yes. Without my telling you it's okay?

Yes.

When?

Now.

Of course, it would make it a lot easier
if you would just say, good night, man.

Mr. Grant?

See him before I go home tonight and try
to straighten things.

It's, uh... It's... It's... I feel
exactly the

same way.

Oh, good.

Good.

Yeah.

Oh, Mayor, by the way, by now I guess
you found out that your attempt to break

up Georgette and me didn't work.

That lightweight you found her just
couldn't hack the competition.

Newsroom. Oh, hi, Joe Jack.

Yeah, he is.

Just a moment, please. It's for you.

Hiya, baby.

Tonight? Oh, no, not tonight. Tonight
I've got other fish to fry.

Maybe tomorrow.

Georgette. I mean, did you fix her up
with a nice guy?

Yeah, and it was pretty awful.

Awful? Well, he's one of the nicest guys
I know.

Sweet, gentle, and... And by the time
the evening was over, this nice, sweet,

gentle guy was treating her crummy. What
do you mean, ma 'am? She brings out the

worst in men.

I mean, I think we're going about this
the wrong way. Ted's not the problem.

It's Georgette.

Yeah, I see what you mean. She's a
professional victim.

A little different style, of course. A
little louder, as we all know.

But Mary, I never did a guy's laundry.

Never did my laundry.

Wait, it gets better. This guy that I
fixed her up with last night called her

and said, how about dinner?

She said, fine.

And by the time we got over to her house
to pick her up, she had made the

dinner. Oh, she really is a pro.

I have to take advantage of her myself.

Knock, knock. It's your golden girl.

Your doorbell wasn't working. That's why
I couldn't say ding -dong.

a shopping list.

Georgette, I think we ought to have a
small talk.

And you better sit down, because we're
going to give it to you with both

barrels. Oh, good.

Look,

about you and Ted.

I know what you think about Ted, Mary.

Uh -uh, no, we're not talking about Ted
now.

We're mad at you, Georgette, for what
you're doing.

Then I won't do it anymore.

What am I doing?

Georgette, what do you think of
yourself?

Yeah, come on, tell us.

Well, I think I'm about 5 '6", and I
have sort of curlish blonde hair.

No, no, Georgette, we don't mean what
you look like. We're talking about what

you are.

Listen, say something positive about
yourself.

Well, I have good handwriting.

I think I understand why you're trying
to help me.

You do?

Great. Okay, now come on. Tell us
something really positive about you.

I'm good with my hands.

And I'm a pretty fair country cook.

And I'd like to think I'm...

talking about me.

Lord knows when that'll be.

Want to have a pillow pipe?

What's wrong? I thought you liked that.

Not now. I want to talk.

Can we have a pillow fight and then
talk?

No,

I really feel like talking.

All right. What do we talk about?

Sports, news, weather?

Say, did you hear about that tidal wave
in Peru?

Damage to livestock, crops, and property
was estimated in the billions of

dollars. Not that kind of talk.

Ted, I think there's something we have
to say. about our relationship.

My funny Valentine.

Sweet comic Valentine.

You make me smile with my heart.

I don't think we should see each other
anymore.

What? Why not?

Say, has Mary been talking to you again?

I think it's for the best all...

just in a lousy mood.

You come to your senses.

I mean it. My funny Valentine.

Sweet comic Valentine.

Please don't make it any harder than it
is, Ted.

But that's our song, isn't it?

I think you should go home now, Ted.

Okay, if that's the way you want it.

fish to fry

I can change. Just tell me what it is
you want me to do and I'll do it.

You mean it?

Sure, I mean it.

Just tell me what it is and I'll do it.
Unless you don't want me to do it, then

I won't do it.

Well, I don't want to do your laundry
anymore.

I'll match your socks.

What else?

I don't want you to call me baby
anymore. I'm not a baby.

All right. What do you want me to call
you?

Let's see this.

Cookie.

Bunny.

Lambkins. Angel. Puss. Ducky. And if you
don't like any of those, I'll have

Murray come up with something.

Georgette. I want Georgette.

But that's so long.

It's what I want.

It's my name.

Okay.

Georgette.

There's one more thing. What is it?

You never told me you loved me.

Well, that's not an easy thing for me to
say.

Why?

Well, because when I said it before to
people, no one ever said it back.

I'll say it back.

You will?

I promise.

Okay.

Love, love, love, love, love.

Love you.

And I love you, Jet.

You do.

You want me to say it again?

I love you, Georgette.

Want me to say it without moving my
lips?

I love you.

Want me to say it like Lowell Thomas?

This is Lowell Thomas.

I want to tell you about my weekend. I
want to tell you about my weekend. Why

don't you tell me about your weekend?

Being with Georgette was like being with
another woman. It's incredible.

I mean, we were equal.

We cooked dinner in a kitchen side by
side.

And afterward, she selected the movie we
went to see.

I mean, for the first time, everything
wasn't left up to me.

And I understand you were responsible.

Well, she's a friend, and I just wanted
to be helpful.

I just want you to know that as long as
I live, I'll never forgive you.
