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 have it down, why don't you

take it?

You might just make it after long.

You might just make...

What do you say we go out and buy
ourselves a nice lunch?

Oh, gee, I'd love to, Murray, but I just
don't think I can afford it.

Oh, well, maybe I could lend it to you.
Ah, no, no, I still owe you $5 from last

Friday. Oh, do you?

Yeah. Don't you remember we had lunch at
Quo Vadis? I'm afraid I... And I

ordered lobster sermador. Lobster
newborn.

And so you lent me some money, remember?

No, I completely forgotten.

We having the old Friday luncharino
gang?

How about it, Mayor?

Well, I'm afraid it's going to have
to... Just be you and Murray, Ted. I'm a

little short this week.

Oh, well, if you need to borrow any
money, I'm sure Murray here would be

lend it to you.

Newsroom, Mary Richards.

Bob Freelander here, general manager of
WKS.

Yes, sir. Just a moment. I'll put Mr.
Grant on.

No, I want to talk to you.

To me?

I'm interviewing several young women for
a producer's job. I'd like to talk to

you about it.

You're considering me for a producer's
job?

Yes, on a new talk show for ladies.

We're calling it...

The ladies' talk show.

Certainly is catchy.

How soon can you get in here so we can
talk?

Well, I don't see how I can during, you
know, working hours.

Then we'll do it today on your lunch
hour. We can have lunch and chat right

in my office. Let's say 12 .30?

Well, all right. 12 .30 will be fine.

I'll see you then.

Wait a minute. I'd like to order some
lunch. What would you like?

Oh, a hamburger and coffee.

If you're ordering lunch, get me a ham
sandwich, a glass of milk.

I'm going to get a glass of milk and a
side of fries.

I'll have pastrami on rye and a vanilla
shake. Pastrami on rye.

Is it good news or bad news, Mary?

Phyllis, since when do you read bad news
with champagne?

a women's talk show at another
television station. Mary, produce!

Producer!

That's terrific!

It means a lot more money, it means my
own office, and a private secretary, and

you'll meet new guys, and you'll be able
to afford a whole new wardrobe. Right?

And I don't want to do it.

Oh, yeah.

Money, guards, glamour, who wants that?

If you don't want the job, then why the
champagne?

Because I'm going to have to take this
job. I can't afford not to.

trying to convince myself that I'm
really happy about it. So why don't we

some champagne and celebrate my new job?
Why don't we? Because I don't want a

new job.

I mean, I will be leaving a lot of
people that I love, and I feel like a

to Mr. Grant.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

Your only loyalty should be to yourself.

But, Phil, Mr. Grant took a big chance
on me. I mean, when he hired me, I was

completely inexperienced.

That's like saying that...

something for marrying me because I was
completely inexperienced.

Mary, take the job. You owe it to
yourself.

I just don't know.

Mary, look, if you don't want to leave,
go into Lou Grant and demand a raise.

Oh, Rhoda, I could get a raise.

What I need is a raise.

It's painfully simple. There are two
choices here.

A, Lou Grant meets your price, or B, you
quit.

You're right, it is. It's painfully
simple. Thankfully simple.

Well, I guess we don't need this yet.

Hey, Mary, next time you throw a party,
would you let us know beforehand if you

can open the bottle?

You know, Murray, maybe I don't need a
raise after all. I mean, I'm going over

my budget here, and I figure that on my
salary, I can't possibly make it. But

somehow, this month, I did.

It's fantastic. It came out even, right
down to the penny. Well, almost.

Did I pay you back that $5?

raised, don't I?

Newsroom, Mary Richards.

Oh, hello, Mr. P.

Uh,

no, I, uh, I haven't made that decision
yet.

$20 a month for gasoline, that's not
bad.

Uh, yes, sir, I understand that you'd
like an answer soon.

Hey, Murr, this girl throws away more
money on food than I spend on booze.

It's just that it's not quite as easy to
come to a, you know, there are other

factors to consider here.

$25 a month for dry cleaning? Well, that
includes my laundry.

Listen, I'll try to get back to you this
afternoon.

Would ten minutes be all right?

All right, I'll talk to you then.

Goodbye.

Never make it. I know.

Mr. Grant?

Could I speak to you for a minute? Sure,
come on in.

Mr. Grant?

that I have been going over my budget is
I have been offered a new job. It's

over at WKS to produce a ladies' talk
show called the Ladies' Talk Show.

You knew.

Well, the broadcasting industry in this
town is like a big family.

Everybody knows what everybody else is
doing. For example, Bob Freelander

undoubtedly knows that this morning I
went to our general manager and told him

wanted to give you a raise.

Oh, Mr. Grant, that's just wonderful. It
would have been, but he turned me down.

Now, before you get on the phone and try
to tell Freelander that you'll take his

job, let me give you a word of advice.

Don't. Give me a good reason not to,
please.

Mary, it's cold out there.

Everyone's jockeying for position, ready
to cut each other's throat. Is that

what you want?

You guessed it, Mr. Grant.

I want to go out there and scratch and
claw for power. I'll stop at nothing in

my ruthless fight for the top.

Mary, it's dog -eat -dog in this
business.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. I
thought you said the broadcasting

was like a big family.

I didn't say it was a nice family.

Mr. Grant, we both know what has to be
done here, and it would make it a whole

lot easier for me if you would be the
one to say it.

Mary, you are going to have to quit me.

Couldn't you just have said quit the
station or just plain quit?

Well, I guess I said that because I
hired you.

Not the station, me.

But just because I went out on a limb
for you, I certainly wouldn't want any

sense of loyalty to me to interfere with
a better deal for you.

I'm sure glad that you're not putting
this on any kind of, you know, personal

basis. The reason I am is because I
don't want you to go.

I'll miss you.

Well, I'll miss you, too.

When does Freelander want you to start?

He said as soon as you can find a
replacement for me. Oh, don't worry

that.

Oh.

Well, then I guess I'll clean out my
desk on Friday.

Hey, I want to give you a going -away
party.

Who usually arranges for those things?

I do.

It's Rhoda. Come on in.

Is that you, Rhoda? Yes, Phyllis, yes. I
am going into Mary's apartment, yes.

She hasn't missed a thing that goes on
in this entire building.

I just washed my hair. Can I borrow your
dryer? Oh, I'm sorry, Rhoda. It's

broken again.

Listen, soon the money will start
pouring in from your new job, and we'll

able to afford a new one.

Can I borrow your stove?

Yeah, sure.

It beats trying to dry your hair over a
hot plate.

Hey, Mary. Were you in bed? I'm sorry.
No, listen, I tried to go to sleep, but

just couldn't. I guess it's because of
the new job.

Possibly because it's only 8 .30.

Yeah, but I was sitting around here
thinking about...

leaving the newsroom tomorrow. I got
myself so depressed, I decided I'd just

to bed.

Yeah.

You know what hot milk tastes like?

Hot milk.

I'm an expert on the stuff.

Did you know that the first man to drink
hot milk invented the word yuck?

Hey, come on, kid. Let's just talk, huh?
Yeah, good. Anything. I just don't want

to think about that new job.

What do you want to talk about?

They showed me my new office today.

Outside it, there was this bunch of
girls all laughing and giggling, having

There I was, inside my private cubicle,
practicing, sitting behind this big

desk, looking like an executive.

Felt like Rosalind Russell.

It's going to be tough trying to find
you a tweed suit with padded shoulders.

Hey, wait. No, it isn't. I just
remembered.

I've got one.

Oh!

Why didn't you tell me you're having a
pajama party?

Phyllis, I'm not wearing pajamas.

Oh. With you, it's always so hard to
tell, Rhoda.

So, what did I miss?

Nothing much. I was just telling Rhoda
how hard it's going to be to leave my

job tomorrow.

Oh, Mary.

Dear, funny Mary.

There are some lessons that I've learned
in my life.

that I would like to share with you
right now.

Mary, you know that trouble you've been
having tonight about sleeping?

This ought to do it.

Good night. Good night.

Life, as I see it, is a long trail of
leaving.

What I mean is, you leave school.

You leave home.

You leave jobs.

Leave me alone.

What you're getting at, but it's not
going to help me. Yes, it will, Mary, it

will, if you just let me explain it to
you the way I explained it to Beth. But

Phyllis, I'm not 12 years old.

Last year, she had this marvelous
opportunity to go to camp, but she was

miserable about having to leave, just as
you are. I mean, the situations are so

analogous, it's, well, it's astounding.

But I explained to her the... fun she'd
have doing new things, making buttons

out of walnuts, short -sheeting the
counselor's bunk.

Mary,

not only that, but making new little
friends. An adventure.

It'll be the same with you, Mary. An
adventure.

What are you doing out of bed at this
hour?

Well, Murray asked me to come in early.

Yeah, I wrote a farewell speech to
Murray to close the show with tonight,

figure if Ted studies it all day, maybe
he can do it on the air tonight without

a goof.

I'm still not here. I'm going to have to
make these party arrangements myself.

Murray, you're going to have to help me
make some phone calls.

Anything at all I can do, Lou. Ted, I've
been asking myself that same question

about you for years.

Who do you want me to call?

Let's see. I want this to be a party to
remember.

Get a large punch bowl and get me a
distillery and two lemons.

I want this to be big.

By the way, Ted, you haven't kicked in
yet.

How much is this going to cost? It's
going to be up there, maybe into two

figures. Two figures?

I don't know why every time we turn
around we have to throw our hard -earned

money away on some frivolous party. What
about flowers?

Flowers, too.

Let's see, distillery.

punch bowl lemons. What time would you
like the Minneapolis Symphony to arrive?

Here's five dollars, Murr. Take
Christine out of that and give me the

later.

This desk will never be the same.

Yeah, I know.

Mary's old desk.

Maybe we should retire it.

You know, like they do football players'
jerseys.

Where is she, anyway? Isn't she even
going to show up on her last date? Well,

the girls from sales took her out to a
farewell champagne breakfast, and at

noon, the guys from promotion are buying
her a farewell drink and lunch. And

she's got to be snockered before the
party. Yeah.

Newsroom.

No, Miss Richards isn't here.

Who's calling?

Oh, hi, Freelander.

Lou Grant?

Yeah, I'll have her call you.

Maybe. Hey, Freelander.

You got yourself a good girl.

You'd think Mary would be back from
lunch by dinner time.

I'm beginning to get worried.

It's all right. The whole production
department hasn't come back from lunch

either. Well, if she doesn't hurry,
she's going to miss Ted doing the

speech I wrote.

Don't do that. You'll dent the dip.

My stomach is growling. Well, take a
drink.

Why do you think my stomach's growling?
I had a drink.

I gotta have some food, man. This punch
Lou made is gonna eat right through my

stomach. Well, you can't eat. I want
everything to look perfect for Mary when

she gets here.

Lou. Huh?

What is that shriveled up little thing
doing in the punch?

Five minutes ago, that was a fresh
gardenia.

Hey, here it is. Oh, Mary's gonna miss
it. Hey, everybody, here's the farewell

speech. Gather round.

Tonight, for my sign -off in place of my
usual droll anecdote, I'd like to get

serious for a moment. The associate
producer of our 6 o 'clock news is

our friendly fold for greener pastures.

And it is with mixed joy and sadness
that we view her exodus.

So all of us here at WJM wish a bon
voyage through the ocean of life and the

best of luck to our own Mary Rickards.

Richard!

It's my fault.

It's all my fault. Why your fault? Well,
I wrote the whole speech out

phonetically except for Mary's name.

How did it sound, boys?

Rickards! You said Rickards!

I don't get your point, Murr.

Her name is Richards.

Now I get your point.

the servers must have been rotten.
You've been gone for over six hours.

Is there anything new around here that I
should know about?

Not much.

Your new boss called.

Hey,

hey, hey. Try to keep it down.
Everybody's looking.

Give me a moment alone.

Don't worry.

I will not embarrass you.

Good old boss.

It's going to be some party, baby.

I'm nothing, Gertie.

All I've got are looks and a voice.

I'm just of no talent.

Somebody put truth serum in the punch.

So, Murray, you might as well hear this,
too.

I do a good job of hiding it, but I'm a
lousy newsman.

That's not true, Ted.

You don't do a good job of hiding it.

Get yourself together, man. You're being
too hard on yourself, Ted. No, he's

not.

Oh, just a wonderful bunch of wonderful
guys.

Mm -hmm.

She really picks up a party, doesn't
she?

I should have stayed with what I started
out to be.

The only thing I ever really wanted to
be... a male

fashion model.

Well, if he wants to be a model, I guess
that's the best kind to be.

I used to look at glossy pictures of
those guys in the ads.

Standing there like this.

How do I look?

Sober? Sober.

I think it's happened.

What's happened?

I've built up an immunity to booze.

Lou?

I am in the presence of men, real men,
and I know I can trust you.

Yeah, uh -huh. Well, now, I have been
happily married to the same woman for

years, you know that, but every once in
a while... Hold it, Murray.

I've been here a few times, in bars, at
various parties.

People sometimes say things at times
like this that they later wish they

Yeah. So I'd like to stop you right now
from mentioning any names. Marie

McGuire.

That's right.

I didn't hear it. Marie McGuire.

She was a pom -pom girl in college.

Boy, was she something.

Blonde hair, blue eyes.

Blonde hair, blue eyes.

Marie... That's your wife.

Yeah, I know.

Isn't it terrific?

It's going to be one of those big
parties.

Where are you going?

Well, it's getting late, and I just
thought I really couldn't face any final

goodbyes, so I was planning to call
everybody individually, you know, next

Well, I figured if I stayed any longer,
somebody would probably start singing...

For she's a jolly good fellow.

For she's a jolly good fellow.

For she's a jolly good fellow.

I can't sing either.

I

don't

know what to say to tell you how I feel.

I'll never forget any of you. Of course
you won't. We'll be seeing each other

all the time.

Oh, that's right. We will. We'll be
seeing each other all the time. Lunch

together? Lunch together. We will. Every
week? Every week. We will have lunch

together.

I don't know who I'm trying to kid.

I've been to enough of these things to
know that people say they'll get

together, but they never do.

The minute I walk out that door into
your doggy dog world, that's...

Last time I'll probably ever see any of
you.

Well, except for Ted on the news.

Or in a fashion magazine.

So, anyway, I just want to say thank you
and... Bye.

So, uh... Come on, everybody.

This is a party.

Everybody's supposed to be having a very
good time.

I know I am.

Larry, come into my office.

Excuse me.

Sit down.

Mr. Grant, I'm awfully sorry. You gave
me this beautiful party and I put a

damper on it. You didn't put a damper on
it. You dropped a bomb on it.

But I don't care about that.

I'm going to meet Freelander's offer.

Come on, Mr. Grant.

The general manager already turned you
down once.

Yeah, but I didn't threaten to quit yet.

Quit for me?

No.

Well, the general manager doesn't know
that.

So, let's call Mr.

Freelander and tell him to find somebody
else for that job.

You mean right now?

Of course now.

interesting little development here.

Listen, I know I haven't actually
started to work for you yet, but I quit.

I think she's going to stay.

Well, Mr. Grant has met your offer, so
I've decided to stay right here.

Oh, that was just some friends of mine.

Yes, sir, I do realize what I'm doing.

Yes, sir. Mr. Freelander, I have given
the matter a great deal of serious

thought.

Hiya,

Ted. Oh, hi, Mer.

Oh, Mer.

I just want to personally tell you how
pleased I am that you decided to stay.

Oh, thank you, Ted.

It was a lovely party, wasn't it? The
best.

We all chipped in, you know.

Well, I was thinking that since it was a
going -away party for you, and you

actually did not go away.

I mean, you were there enjoying the
party like everyone else.

Ted, are you suggesting that I chip in?
Well... How much?

Five.
