All language subtitles for Mary Tyler Moore s03e20 What Do You Say When The Boss Says I Love You

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 alone,

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

Would you ever have one of those great
weekends where everything went right?

Yeah. Not me.

Mary?

Doris, what's the matter?

They fired my boss.

Oh, Doris, come on in.

Here, sit down. No, no, really, I'll be
okay.

Doris, really, you're going to have to
get used to your boss's being fired.

No, thanks.

grant on the new program director thanks
mary i knew you'd want to see it right

away not really why don't you just leave
it on my desk right well

i thought you'd be really curious to
know who your new boss is going to be

aren't you curious mr grant

the person who is replacing Snyder.
What's his name, Mary?

His name is Barbara Coleman.

Oh.

I see.

It's a woman.

You came in here all happy because you
thought it would be cute to see my

reaction to working for a woman.

Well, look closely, Mary, because here's
my reaction.

Come on, Mr. Grant. I was just having
fun with you.

Say, anybody know who the new secretary
is?

Cute little brunette with a great hiney.

I don't know if there's anything else
here.

Do you have the official Ted Baxter
pinch -a -rino, if you know what I mean?

Please just read it to yourself.

I'm sorry. I thought I was.

Lou.

You don't think that cute brunette in
the elevator is really... Could be, Ted.

After all, I was only having a little
fun.

She wouldn't be upset over a little
thing like that, would she?

And even if she is, I mean, what does
she can do to me?

I'm the biggest star in the station.

Besides, you probably wouldn't even
recognize... me.

Wonder how fast I can grow a beard.

Hi,

Lou.

Philly!

You want to arm wrestle for a drink?

Philly, we only do that when I come down
to the saloon. You don't come to my

office to arm wrestle me for a drink. I
know, but you won't be there till after

this show.

And that's another two hours.

Philly, you don't seem to understand.
This is a newsroom. You wouldn't want me

to lose my edge and have to watch Ted
sober.

Come on in the office, Philly. We'll arm
wrestle in there.

Hiya, Philly. Nice to see you, Philly.
Wish me luck.

Excuse me.

Yes? I'm Barbara Coleman.

Oh! Oh, hi.

Welcome.

Well, to your station. Thank you. I'm
Mary Richards.

I'm the associate producer. Yes, I know.
Nice to meet you. Thank you.

Where can I find Lou Grant?

Ah, Mr. Grant is in a meeting right now.

So would you like to come back?

Oh, no, no. This is my last stop. I
think I'll just wait. Well, please sit

Thank you.

Cream and sugar, please. Oh, Maurice
Lauder, this is Barbara Coleman.

Oh, the new program director. Well, it's
nice to meet you. Hello.

I'm in your chair, aren't I? No, that's
okay. Don't get up. I don't need it

right now.

I'll just get this out of your way.

I'll bet you're Barbara Coleman.

Yes.

I've got to hurry back to the block.

Chuckle the Clown is on now.

That was our last program director.

Thank you.

Come on in, Miss Coleman.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I like a man who rolls up the sleeves
when he works.

I was going to do it anyway.

Have a seat.

Oh, is that you?

Yeah. College?

High school.

You look old for high school. I looked
old for kindergarten.

What position did you play?

Tackle. Oh, really? I used to go with a
tackle in the Chicago Bears.

Yeah? Who?

Steve Farrell.

You went with a rotten tackle.

the station introducing myself.

I hate to have people come into my
office to meet me. It kind of puts them

Yeah. Usually the new guy comes in and
the first thing he does is buzz you into

his office asking to see the news
budget.

That's why I'm here.

I don't have it. Who does?

Some guy who works upstairs. I don't
keep that kind of stuff around here. And

how do you know when you're over budget?

Because the program director calls me on
the carpet.

You resent program directors, don't you?

Me? No.

I'm director once myself.

For a week.

And I suppose my being a woman doesn't
help.

Oh, come on.

You're right.

I keep thinking it makes a difference to
people.

Maybe it doesn't to everyone.

It sure does to me.

Say, you don't really think you'd fire
me just for a little pinch arena in the

elevator, do you?

Well, I hope not, Ted. Because if you
go, I go.

I couldn't write for anyone else.

You mean that, Murr? Mm -hmm.

My vocabulary isn't what it used to be.

Go on and meet the rest of the gang.

Bye. Ted, why don't you meet our new
program director, Barbara Coleman?

Thank you, Ted, wanting to learn a thing
like that. Oh, yeah, there's a lot of

money in playing chess.

I heard of one kid made $200 ,000
playing it. In Iceland.

You can make that kind of money in
Iceland.

Just imagine the kind of dough you can
make in a really big town.

Uh -oh, the boss lady put away the game.

Hiya, Barbara. I didn't know you were
here. Hello, Ted.

Hi. Hi.

Do they have any hot food here?

Yeah, the Coke.

My soup is lukewarm. Oh, just like the
lunchroom in Chicago.

Think I might ask her to join us?

Go ahead if you want to. I have to get
back to the office.

I left my money on the desk and Ted's
around.

there's some nice areas around where I
can find something I can afford.

Well, about how much is that?

Oh, about what I paid in Chicago, about
$400, $450 a month.

I think you could get three or four
apartments.

If you don't mind, how much do you pay
for your place?

About $150, $250.

No kidding. That's terrific.

How many bedrooms?

No bedrooms.

Yeah, I used to have a place like that.

What did you want to know?

Well, you know, I've noticed that
whenever I come into a new station,

always one man who resents working for a
woman more than the rest.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Mr. Grant doesn't
care that you're a woman. He just

like program directors.

Uh -huh.

Uh, Mary, I'm going on a special
assignment now.

station I've worked at, too.

I don't know, Barbara. I don't
understand how you could be so settled

three weeks. I've been in my place three
years now. Still haven't taken the

newspaper out of the glasses.

where I didn't have to give my order by
speaking into a clown's mouth.

Do you know that there was a time when I
would rather die than go out with the

girls on Saturday night? Yeah, I can
remember when I'd prefer even a rotten

date. Had one last Friday.

Real zero.

Oh, I mean, this guy could walk through
an electric eye door. It wouldn't open.

And then, girls, there are some that are
so rotten that it's not even

picturesque.

drinks beer, and then crushes the empty
can in his bare head.

And then, then he waits for you to say,
oh, that's wonderful, Rocco.

Or how about the guy who says, I'm
nothing but trouble, baby, so don't fall

me.

Or the guys who take you to the movies
and then laugh out loud at Woody

Woodpecker.

Oh, and let us not forget the worst kind
of all, the guy who lies about being

married.

Tells you he is when he isn't.

That's what happened to me.

Is that why you left Chicago?

No, he's right here in Minneapolis.

It's Lou.

Lou who?

Lou?

It's just that Lou and I have been
together a lot lately.

Wait, wait, girls. Lou who?

Lou Grant.

You know, what with meetings and dinners
and business lunches.

that guy being so terrific.

Oh, just my luck.

Having to fall in love with Lou.

Lou Grant.

Gee, I just never thought of him as
being, you know.

Yeah, yeah, there were two people who
I'd never thought of as being romantic.

Lou and the guy I'm going with now.

me out of it.

Please?

Yeah, right.

Mr.

Grant has been married to Edie for 25
years and they love each other the way

people used to in movies.

I mean, she goes away for a day, the man
can't eat.

He can drink, but he can't eat.

Here is you.

Tell me again about the grandchildren.

Lou Grant?

Well, that pretty much finishes the
budget.

You're not going to give me my new
mobile unit, huh? You just don't have

money for it, Lou.

How about a midget on a motor scooter?

Well, I guess that's it. Boy, it's been
a long day.

Good night, Barbara.

Oh, boy, me too. I am exhausted.

Good night, Mary. How about a drink?

Sure. Well, okay, maybe.

No,

no. No drink for her. No drink for her.

Mary, go home. Get some sleep. Mr.
Grant, I'm fine, really.

I just got my second wind.

Mary, you're sleepy.

We don't need you anymore.

A messy office? Come on, you know me.
Oh, can't leave a messy office, Mary.

Will you go home?

Barbara, are you sure that you don't
want me to stay?

Well, maybe you should.

Yes, I would like Mary's opinion about
starting a new late -night news.

Oh, you mean at 11 o 'clock?

Or 10 o 'clock, the way we did in
Chicago.

We found that our anchorman there had an
appeal for older people, and they go to

bed earlier.

In that case, we ought to put Ted on at
eight.

I really love that tie, Lou.

Yes, it's beautiful, Mr. Grant.

Did you get it for Father's Day?

No. I bought it myself this morning.
Suddenly I felt this urge to buy a

I don't know why.

Maybe I want to impress the boss.

idea. We could stay and talk about it a
little while, Lou, if you're not too

tired. No, I'm going to feel pretty
good. Yeah.

I feel fine, too. Just fine. Fine, fine,
fine.

I want you to go home and get some
sleep. Mr. Grant. You know how cranky

when you don't. Mr. Grant, I'm not
sleepy.

Really, Mr. Grant, if I go home now, I
won't sleep. I'll be worrying about this

mess and the news presentation.

Go.

See you both in the morning. Mm -hmm.

Bright and early.

Yeah. Good night, Mary.

Good night, Mary.

Good night.

Now, what do you think of this movie?

This is it.

can't she see that she's wasting her
time?

Maybe she's not.

Of course she is. Rhoda, this is Lou
Grant we're talking about.

Well, but if anything happens, I don't
want to know about it. That's where you

and I differ. If anything happens, I
want to hear every word, every detail.

So, if you hear that anything is
happening... Rhoda, go home.

Yeah, I'm going.

Did you talk to Lou about this? No, I
can't. He doesn't know I know.

Huh, come to think of it, I'm not even
sure that he knows.

He may be finding out. Will you get out?

When your boss says, I love you.

Did she say that?

No. But she's warming up to it.

I gotta talk to somebody.

And I can't talk to Evie about this.

Well, Mr. Grant, I'd really just assume
you'd not talk to me.

It opened so fast.

So fast.

We were just sitting there, talking
about that 10 o 'clock news show.

And then the next thing I knew, our eyes
met.

And they kind of held there.

You know?

Yeah, I know.

And I felt something.

Uh, what?

But it sure was unusual.

And then... Then... She... She...

She put her arms around me.

They didn't go all the way around.

Look at this.

Makeup. On my handkerchief.

Mr. Grant, all she did was...

Hug you, right?

Well, then there's nothing to feel
guilty about.

Mary, she wants me.

Why me?

Well, you're a very kind of special
person.

Yeah.

late -night news show.

I was just going over what the
competition does at 10 o 'clock, and I

would be great counter -programming
to... Sit down.

Barbara? Yes?

Sit down.

About last night.

What about it?

Look, we both...

Had a lot to drink and... I was drinking
ginger ale.

Barbara,

I don't want you to think I wasn't
flattered.

Because I was.

I've got a wife.

And a marriage.

And three daughters.

Sarah, Ruthie, Janie. And they're the
grandkids.

Amy and Abby. I understand.

And Eric.

And, uh... The little one.

What's his name?

Wait, I'll get it. It's okay, Lou.

I always remember his name. It's okay.

Matthew. That's it. The little one's
named Matthew. Matthew, yeah.

Well, anyway,

if I'm going to have any extracurricular
activities, frankly, I'm better off

bowling.

It's less complicated.

Okay, Lou.

I haven't had much chance to go over the
presentation thoroughly, but... You

know, it's not that I don't think you're
good -looking or anything.

You are.

I understand.

Anyway, all things considered, I think
we did a pretty good job last night. I

mean, if I was single and maybe a year
younger... No, it's all

right.

Now, there are a few rough spots here
and there.

For example... Because you are pretty.

Lou, knock it off.

I'd appreciate it if you and Mary would
work up an entirely new budget and

expand on those ideas we talked about
last night, okay? Sure.

Thanks.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

You really would have?

Yeah.

Son of a gun.

Mary, if anybody wants me, I'll be
risking my neck covering that big fire.

Uh, Ted, Barbara's not in there. She
left about five minutes ago.

Why don't you tell me? Why'd you let me
waste a good one?

Well, in that case, I'll flake out my
dressing room.

Wake me two minutes before the show
starts.
