What do you think of the astronaut ice
cream?

I'm going to be a fireman.

Want the rest?

No, thanks. I'm still dealing with the
Skylab chili.

And Avery, the next time you volunteer
me to be a chaperone for your class,

are my strengths.

Ball games, movies, temptations
concerts. Always go with my strengths.

All right.

Can I get my face painted now?

First you want to be an astronaut, then
you want to be a fireman, now you want

to be a cosmetologist. Do I need to be
concerned?

Wow, look at all this cool airplane
stuff.

Maybe I'll be a pilot.

Oh, good. It was just a phase.

Hey, Mom, you know how airplanes fly?

Well, you know, first you're on the
plane, then you get going really fast on

ground. You know how you get going
really fast.

Uh -huh.

And then the runway ends, and then, you
know, wind and gravity take over, and

the next thing you know, you're 30 ,000
feet watching a Steve Guttenberg movie.

Yeah, that's pretty much how Da Vinci
conceived flight.

Want to know how planes fly?

Here. Take this. I don't think so. I'm
not really the audience participation

type. Mom, please don't get us kicked
out again.

So tell me, mister, how do planes fly?

Well, you see, a plane's wing is curved,
so when the wing blows across it, the

air pressure on top lowers and the wing
lifts up. Now watch this.

Cool.

Okay, so I didn't split the atom, but it
is a children's museum.

So how about a look of wonder and
amazement?

They're looking at it.

Oh, here you go. Thanks.

Hey, Mom, can I go show Charlie this?
Yeah, sure.

Oh, geez, pretend you're talking to me.
My son's teacher keeps begging me to set

her up with Brit Hume.

Oh, good. She's hitting on a security
guard. I'm safe. Nice talking to you.

Yeah, what? I'm Scott Heyman. You're
Murphy Brown? It's great to meet you.

nice to meet you, too. Good luck with
your blowing on paper flying thing.

You know, we actually met before in
Madrid.

Really? Well, actually, it was at the
airport in Madrid. I was waiting for my

mountain bike to come around the baggage
carousel when you ran into me with your

luggage cart.

Oh, well, you know, I travel all the
time. I'm sorry. I hit a lot of people

my luggage cart.

Do you like to get together sometime?

What? What do you mean?

Well, you know, like for a date.

I'm sorry. No, thank you.

Well, what do you mean for a date?

You know, two people make a plan to
spend time together. I don't think I'm

breaking any new ground here.

Some game you and your friends play so
you can pick up the famous older woman?

Because if that's what you and your pals
are up to, give Cokie Roberts a call.

But I should warn you, Cokie has
champagne taste.

And another thing, I don't appreciate
being... Hold this a second.

It was an innocent question.

Hold this head.

You know, I wasn't really yelling at you
yet.

Well... Here's my phone number. I have a
fresh tape on the answering machine so

you have unlimited yelling time.

Or you could call me and we could get
together.

This belongs to you.

The nominations have already been
decided.

Bracket will be bringing them down any
minute now.

Worrying about it won't alter one thing.

Oh, yeah, Jim, how many cups of coffee
have you had this morning?

Three, four, would have had five if I'd
had some cream.

I'm looking for the cream. Where's the
damn cream?

Sounds like a couple of somebodies have
got free Humboldt jitters. Oh, and you

don't? No, I don't.

See, because I just came from my
therapist, Dr.

Vishniak. And Dr. Vishniak made me
realize I'm already a winner.

Oh, all right.

I want to be nominated.

Hey, guys, listen to this. What is it?

You know all that supportive mail I've
been getting since I went public? Listen

to what this sweet woman from LaGrange,
Georgia wrote.

When I heard about your cancer, I sat
down in my porch glider and wept. You

in such a stress -filled environment,
and that can't be good for you.

That's when it came to me. I should have
your job.

I'm used to stress, for I am the night
manager at Hardee's.

Take it over and let me know yours
truly, Shirley Peck. Think you guys

work with Shirley?

Great news, everyone.

Guess where the network affiliate
meeting is being held this year?

Maui. Aloha.

None of us were nominated, were we? 20
categories and not a one.

I can't believe Murphy wasn't nominated.
Your get numb piece was most deserving

of a humble.

That piece was never going to be
nominated.

Well, that's a little rude, isn't it,
Kay? No, it isn't, because I told Kay to

take my name out of the running. What?
Why did you do that? Well, look, I'm

proud of all the stories I did this
year. I just didn't want anybody voting

me because I have cancer. The last thing
I want is anyone's sympathy vote.

Oh, pish posh. They give 20 Humboldts,
Murphy, but only one Lifetime

Award, and this year's award goes to, da
-da -da, our own Murphy Brown.

Yes, yes.

Wow. They put you in the big leagues. Do
you know who has won that?

Reisner, Collingsworth, Huntley.

Yeah, but they won it at the end of
their careers, not when they were 49.

Well, they were slow starters, but you,
you've been a lifetime of reporting into

just half a lifetime.

You're right, Jim. It's a great award,
and I'm honored.

It's just that in the back of their
mind, I know they're thinking, better

it to Murphy this year, because next
year, who knows?

Oh, no.

That's not why you're here.

Look, Jim, I promise you, I'll be
gracious when I accept it. But you know

real reason they're giving it to me?
They don't want me to come back as a

and haunt them. And trust me, I wouldn't
be like Casper. Oh, no.

I'd have the furniture moving. I'd have
walls bleeding.

I'd show up in their family photos.

I'm scaring myself.

Hi.

Oh, God, I was supposed to meet you out
front. I'm sorry, I lost track of time.

Look, if I hadn't paid the five bucks
for parking and the four bucks to get

I'd just turn around and leave. I don't
even know what I'm doing here, so don't

get your hopes up. And why is it I
always have to pay admission every time

come to see you?

If you come to see me two more times,
you get a free dinosaur tippy cup.

So, do you work at the museum?

Part -time. I just finished my post
-grad work at Georgetown in physics.

Oh, so you're from here?

No, actually, I'm from all over. I'm an
embassy brat.

Oh, which embassy?

My father's been at the Israeli
consulate for three years now. But man,

were growing up, we lived all over. I
went to my junior prom in Thailand and

senior prom in London.

Both times I had to go with my cousin.

Hey, I want to show you something.

Now, your hands go here.

This machine demonstrates how static
electricity... Look, do you have any

how old I am? I don't know, 54?

Ow!

Sorry, forgive me for being wary, and
it's 49, by the way.

But, um, I'm just not looking to be in a
relationship right now, least of all

with somebody in their 30s. Okay, so
you're older than me. Big deal.

And it's 29, by the way.

It was just reliving the shock of the
machine.

So, I hope you like jazz, because I made
reservations at this great place in

Georgetown tonight. Oh, hey, I know what
we could do this weekend. They're

giving gliding lessons out at this great
airfield in Middleburg. You want to go?

Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Before we go any further, there's
something you should know.

I have cancer.

I know.

I read the paper.

I even have a TB.

Look, you're a very nice guy, and you're
very sweet, but there's this little

voice in my head. It keeps saying, maybe

now isn't the best time for me to be
doing this.

All I know for sure is E equals MC
squared.

For every action, there's an equal and
opposite reaction.

And you are the most enchanting woman
I've ever met.

here at the Expert on Physics.

Come on, I want to show you the shadow.

So, are you enjoying the class trip?

Sure am.

Would this be more fun if I were 50?

I don't think so.

Great idea. I'm buying, Merce. I think
I'll pass.

Oh, are you feeling all right? Yeah, I'm
feeling fine. I have a date.

You mean a date date?

Yeah.

Oh, of course, with Avery.

No,

not with Avery. I have a date with
someone other than my son or Frank.

Ooh, a new beau in Madam Brown's life.

Good for you. Hallelujah.

Guys, don't make such a big deal. I've
only known him a week. It's a date.

be so excited.

Someone's getting flowers.

Getting flowers. I wonder who's getting
flowers.

Are these for Murphy Brown?

Yes, as a matter of fact, they are.

I'll take care of the tip, Slugger. Can
you change to 20?

Oh, no, never mind.

If Murphy has found someone decent
enough to send flowers, it is a special

occasion. Keep the change. Jim. Thank
you.

I don't like this. And who is this guy
you're dating, and why haven't we met

yet? Yeah, come on, Murphy. Tell us
everything, Phil. Well, he's about six

tall. He's got dark hair and green eyes,
and he looks really good in jeans.

Jim, why is the delivery boy still here?

Maybe he wants more money. Give him
another five. I will.

So, one question.

Have you, you know... Have you?

That's really none of your business,
Kay. Oh, it's my only business.

So what's his name?

Scott.

Scott? Sounds a little whippy to me.
Scott.

I don't think so. I think it's a good
name. Do you like the name Scott, Scott?

Oh, I love my name.

Scott!

Scott, I've heard a lot about you.

Wow, Murphy, he's so... cute. You're so
cute.

Thank you.

And now that you've met him, it's time
for us to leave. Say goodbye, Scott.

Pleasure meeting you. You too. Oh, and
here's your 20. Well, I like him.

Do this again.

Take care. See you later, Scott.

Bye now.

33.

30. 28, Tom.

17 if he's a dad.

Did you have a good time last night?
Murphy, you look like you got a good

night's sleep last night. You did,
didn't you?

I know there's a little extra spring in
your step today, huh, Murphy?

And Murphy, Brian, you must be my new
secretary.

So, how was he?

Oh, you all are so curious this morning.
Well, let me satisfy your curiosity.

I had a good evening. I slept like a
log. And if I have a little spring in my

step, it's because my evening went
great.

And as for how was he, if you last more
than a week, I'll let you know.

Ooh, that's it, too.

I'm betting he doesn't even last a week.

Personnel? Personnel.

I've been there before.

Just so we don't go through this routine
every day, I will be seeing him again.

Look, Murph, you know, I think he's a
nice guy.

It's just that, you know, I'm not sure
if he's your type.

What do you mean, my type? Well, you
guys know what I mean. Type, right? You

mean the young type?

Yeah, that's it.

When did that ever stop you, Frank? I've
seen you squire around junior

achievement winners.

It's just, it's different. It's
different. Different?

This is the oldest double standard in
the book. I mean, Picasso was 70, he was

dating 25 -year -olds, and men all
around the world applauded. But if

Thatcher showed up with a 25 -year -old,
the townspeople would chase after her

with torches of fire.

I'm not saying anything wrong in dating
a younger man.

He's just so young.

This tie is older than he is. For God's
sakes, he's 11.

Murphy, we're not passing judgment.

We just want to make sure you're not
jumping into this too quickly. Yeah,

just that this is someone like you. This
pin could be his father.

Look, guys, I know you have my best
interests at heart, but I've given this

lot of thought. In fact, I've already
asked Scott to be my date for the

Humboldts.

The Humboldts? She's taking him to the
Humboldts?

Okay, I'm sure you have your two cents
about the Scott situation. I'll give you

30 seconds.

Let me ask you a question.

Does he make you happy?

Yes. Yes, he does. We have fun together.
And right now, that's not a bad thing.

Then you keep seeing him. My mother was
12 years older than my father. They were

madly in love and had the best
relationship in the world. And age was

issue.

Now, wait with another story. My mother
loves the sweet.

Anyway, I say, if it feels right, you go
for it, sis.

Thank you, Kay.

You've still got 11 seconds.

Aloha.

You look gorgeous.

Thank you. So do you.

Isn't this fun? Double dating? We're not
dating.

Stop biting her nails, Frank.

I can't help it. And you know, when I'm
out with Murphy, she never cares.

Well, you're not out with Murphy. And
you're not out with me. And I do care.

Oh, God. These shoes are killing me.
Here, let me see what I can do.

Frank,

you're sitting on my hand.

Well, folks, you know.

No, don't stop.

Don't even think about it, Frank.

Are you excited, Scott?

Everyone comes to Humboldt. All the news
people, all the politicos, and a few of

those Hollywood personalities who like
to wear glasses because they think it

makes them look smarter.

Okay, now, there are a few rules of
protocol that have to be observed.

Like when you meet Mike Wallet, do not
look directly into his eyes.

They bowed at the waist, did not touch
him, and never, ever turned their back

him. For lots of reasons.

Oh, don't listen to what he says,
because Mike is great. It's morally

think he's the king of France.

God, there's a lot of cameras here.

Are there more press here every year, or
is it just me?

You're right, Murphy.

Don't they have any better place to be?
Oh, yeah. Camera -shy Corky sure would.

Don't worry. I think they're more
interested in getting a shot of our

lifetime achievement winner and her new
guy.

Guys, it's up to you, Frank.

Right?

Do you think we leave?

Not at all.

going for pizza, and then who knows?
Wouldn't that be more fun?

That sure would.

What about your stage?

Oh, there. You did it.

But, Murphy, I'm a... Um, driver, lead
those pizza and take the long way.

Well, where were we?

Boy, am I mad.

She just went off and left us there.

Well, I don't blame her the way we've
been acting.

What do you mean?

I did some thinking yesterday, and,
well...

At this most difficult time in her life,
she finds happiness with this fellow,

and all we can offer her is our
disapproval.

Jim's right.

Hi, guys.

Oh, Murphy, we were all talking, and we
feel really embarrassed.

We should have been more supportive.

Scott obviously makes you very happy,
and that's all any of us care about.

we're really sorry, Mark. Oh, thanks,
guys. I appreciate that, but...

Maybe you were right.

What? Well, the truth is, I skipped out
on the Humboldt because I just couldn't

face it. I know that if Barbara Walters
had shown up there with Johnny Depp on

her arm, I would have been the first
person sending catcalls across the room.

I would have been embarrassed to be seen
with Scott, and if I feel that way,

then what am I doing in the
relationship?

Is Murphy here?

She just stepped inside her office.

Thanks.

Come in.

Oh, Scott.

I was just going to call you back.

Which one of my 20 calls were you going
to return?

Um, I'm sorry. I've just been a little
preoccupied.

Look, maybe we should talk.

Then maybe I should go first.

I was trying to reach you all day
yesterday because something has come up.

I've been drafted.

Drafted? I'm an Israeli citizen.

I knew my number was coming up, but not
this soon.

Well, it would be a lot easier if I were
losing you to a younger woman, not

Benjamin Netanyahu.

Drafted.

I don't have to report to flight school
for another ten days, but if I leave

now, I can see my sister in London.

When you say leave now, do you mean...
Right now.

My flight's at noon.

I'm taking the Metro to National
Airport.

So, then, um, I guess this is goodbye.

I feel bad. Oh, listen, don't. I mean,
let's not make more of this than it was.

The truth is, this couldn't have gone on
much longer anyway.

But, um, hey, it was fun.

Wasn't it more than that?

Um, your flight's at noon. I don't want
you to miss your plane.

You better get going.

Thank you.

That's all you have to say?

Thank you?

Thank you and goodbye?

Yeah.

Goodbye.

What are you doing here?

Well, every time I meet up with you, it
costs me money.

When did the metro get to be so
expensive?

You've never taken the metro before,
have you? No, but that's not important.

Three bucks, yikes.

Boy, I can't believe this is happening
to me again.

Last time I lost a guy to the draft, I
was 20.

He went off to Canada.

He took my heart and my blood, sweat,
and tears, Alba.

You found a war against Canada?

How'd that go?

Look,

Scott, I wasn't completely honest back
there. The truth is that

you came along at exactly the right
time, and I don't want you leaving here

thinking that it didn't mean anything to
me.

It meant everything.

I'm really going to miss you.

Well, there's my train.

We don't have much time.

That's all right.

We have it right now.

Um, we should go.

There'll be another one in five minutes.

Oh, boy.

I'll get my three dollars worth.
