All language subtitles for Mary Tyler Moore s07e12 Teds Temptation

Who can turn the world on with a 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 town,
why don't you take it?

You're gonna make it after all.

You're gonna make it after all.

coffee. Hey, what's the matter?

17 degrees out and the heater in my car
passed away.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, that's good.

Do you think anyone would mind if I
warmed my feet in it?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Mary, what would you do if you were me
and you had to choose someone from the

newsroom to go with you to the
broadcaster's convention?

Lou, you're kidding.

I just ran out for the station manager.

That's this weekend in California.

Hollywood, to be exact.

I heard yesterday it was 85 degrees.

Oh, somewhere in the world it's 85
degrees.

Well, Murray, who should I choose to go
with me?

Well, gee, Lou, that's pretty tough.

Well, I think you should be as impartial
as is humanly possible. Consider

everything, and when you're through...

Pick the person with the least hair.

Sounds fair to me.

Mr. Grant, I would be perfectly willing
to shave my head.

I'm only teasing, Mary.

I have here in my little palm three
tickets for an all -expense -paid

Los Angeles.

One for you, one for Murray, and one for
me. Oh, this is sensational.

I can't wait.

We'll leave Friday night right after the
news.

Hi, Ted.

Where are we going?

Hey, everybody, look who's here.

Lucky Ted.

Yeah, Lucky Ted. Why am I lucky?

You're lucky because you don't have to
come with us to hot, damp,

sticky, smoggy L .A. to be at some
stupid broadcaster's convention. Oh, no,

no, no. Oh, you promised. The next time
there's a freebie.

That I would go, and this is the next
time, Lou. Oh, Ted, come on. Get on it.

Lou, you promised. Don't break your
promise.

Please.

You're right.

I promised.

Okay, Ted, here's my ticket. I hope
you're happy.

Thanks, Lou.

Hey, won't that be fun? The three of us?

Yes, operator, I'd like to call
Minneapolis.

The area code is 612.

The phone number is 555 -3727.

Yes, I'll hold it.

What are you doing, Ted?

Taping out the keyhole.

I don't want anybody peeking while I'm
undressing.

Ted, Mary's in that room.

All the more reason. Who knows how long
she's been waiting for this chance.

Now, listen, honey, I want you to kiss
all the kids goodnight for me.

Yeah, and lock all the windows before
you go to bed at night.

Yeah, and, uh, well, look, if you hear
any noises, call me. I'll come right

home.

Goodnight, honey.

Are you homesick already, Murray?

I am not homesick.

Look, just because a guy calls his
family doesn't mean he's homesick, Ted.

All it means is that he's concerned.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Mind leaving a little room for me?

Sorry.

I'll get it.

Oh, hiya, ma 'am. Hi.

Murray, say hello to Whitney Lewis.

Hi. This is Murray Slaughter, our
writer.

Hi. Hi, nice to meet you. And this is
Ted Baxter, our anchorman.

How do you do?

Whitney's a freelance writer. She's
covering the convention for one of the L

papers. I was hoping to be able to talk
you guys into giving me an interview

this evening. Isn't that great?

Hey, it's horrific.

I'm doing an article about the headaches
of putting on a local news show. Well,

if anyone knows about those, I do.

Right. He's one of our biggest.

Why don't you two meet us in the lounge
and we'll do the interview over a drink?

Oh, great. We'll be there in a couple of
minutes. I still have a few pictures to

unpack. Well, nice to meet you. Yes,
thank you. I'll be looking forward to

Right.

Even the writers out here look healthy.

Murray. What?

That woman wants me.

What are you talking about, Ted?

Whitney is hot to trot.

Hey, Ted, you're nuts.

Murray, when she shook my hand, she gave
a little extra squeeze.

I don't know what that means.

Sure. She wants to pump some blood to
your brain.

I'm telling you, she wants me. Oh.

Hey, Ted, will you do me a favor?

Listen, I want you to close your eyes
and try to form a mental image of that

girl in your head. Is this a game? Yeah.

You got it? Oh, yeah. Good.

Now, I want you to form a mental image
of yourself.

You got it?

Good. Now, I want you to put those two
mental images together and tell me

honestly, Ted, what is wrong with that
picture?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with
that picture.

Now, wait a minute. Now there is.

Georgette just walked into it with her
lawyer.

Yeah, well, I miss you too, honey.

And I love you very much.

Look, if she starts to cough again, call
me. I'll come right home.

Goodbye.

My cat has a furball.

I guess we're a pretty dull interview.

Oh, no, not at all. I've got a lot of
disgust here.

I almost forgot the funniest story of
all.

Murray, you remember the time the film
car broke down and we couldn't get to

story, so we had to send the crew on the
bus? I remember that. That was

hilarious.

Yeah? What happened?

Well, that was it.

We couldn't get the crew to... Well, you
know, I guess it's just funny compared

to the other stories.

Well, like... I said I've got a lot of
good stuff here.

I just have a few more questions I'd
like to ask Ted. Sure.

Ted, how did you become an anchorman?

It all started in a small $5 ,000 radio
station in Fresno, California.

Mary, would you like to dance?

Murray, I would like to dance, even if
there were no music.

Good. If you had said no, I would have
danced alone.

Here's a... Oh, sure.

You were saying, Ted...

Well, actually, when I first started, I
had no idea of becoming a TV newsman.

I wanted to be a disc jockey.

What made you change your mind?

God.

I had this dream where he told me I was
too good -looking for radio.

Well, he's right.

You are an attractive man.

Thanks.

Well, you don't want to argue with the
big guy.

Listen, Ted.

Would you be available for an in -depth
interview while you're out here this

weekend? In -depth?

Yes.

Maybe tomorrow.

Someplace where we'd have less
distractions.

Someplace where I could really get to
know Ted Baxter, the man.

Okay.

But not in the morning. I may go to
Disneyland.

Tomorrow night will be just fine. Fine.

By where?

Oh, I don't know.

How about your room?

My room?

I think that way we'd both be less
inhibited.

I'd like to find out what makes Ted
Baxter tick.

What he thinks about.

What turns him on.

Well, I can tell you right now what
turns him on.

It's the way you've got your hand on his
knee.

Isn't that funny?

I didn't even realize I had my hand on
your knee.

Well, you do.

In fact, it's still there.

What I think may be the most memorable
interview either one of us has ever had.

How's it going?

Oh, just fine.

Ted and I are going to get together
tomorrow and finish what we started

Murray? Yeah?

She wants to interview me in depth.

You won't need your scuba gear for that
one.

Well, excuse me. I'm sure you're all
exhausted from your trip. And there's a

people with the convention I still have
to interview before it gets too late.

So I'll say goodnight.

I'll be in touch with you, Ted.

Mary, thanks for everything. Oh, thank
you. It was our pleasure.

Goodnight now. Goodnight.

Gee,

she's nice, isn't she? Yeah.

Nice? That woman just hit on me, Mary.

Hit on you, Ted? She's warm for my form.

Ted, you're crazy. He told me the same
thing in the room.

You guys don't believe me?

That woman wants my body.

Ted, if she was a grave robber, she
wouldn't want your body.

That's not funny, Mary.

And I'm not lying.

I tell you what she said, but I'm afraid
to say it in mixed company.

Okay, Ted.

What did she say?

She said she wanted to interview me in
my room.

Tell me what that means, Mary.

It means she doesn't want to be seen
with you in public.

Okay, wise guy.

She touched my knee.

Oh, Ted, come on. People touch people.
It doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Mary, wise up. This is Hollywood.

Wild parties, orgies, whips.

People don't come here just for the
oranges, you know.

Do you know what your trouble is, Ted?

You believe all those things about
Hollywood.

Now, trust me, it's just the town like
any other.

The people are no different here than
any other place.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Excuse me, sir. Yeah?

Would you like to dance?

I wondered what time you wanted to meet
tomorrow night.

Anytime you say.

Let's make it early, huh?

Say, uh, around eight? If it's no
problem.

No problem. I'm all yours.

That's what I was hoping for.

Oh, yeah. That's right.

Murray, she's hitting on me again.

Ted, if you don't go to sleep, I'm going
to start hitting on you.

I don't know what it is about you that
attracted me to you so quickly.

Maybe it's that fantastic silver hair of
yours.

Murray, she's a hair freak.

Well, if you get a skin freak, wake me.

Listen, listen.

I'm sorry I couldn't hear you. I was
clipping my toenail.

I thought I should let you know how I
felt.

Uh, excuse me. Someone's knocking on the
door.

What is it?

Whitney's on the phone.

Oh, really?

Uh, that was just the maid. She wanted
to turn my bed down.

You heard her, Murray. That beautiful
woman wants me.

What do you say now?

There is no God.

Come on, Murray. Don't leave me alone.

I'm sorry, Ted. I've got to get home.

You can't be that homesick that you
can't stay one more day. It has nothing

do with homesick. It's an emergency.

My kid's hamster is lethargic.

Murray, the only... reason I told
Whitney it was okay to come tonight was

because you'd be here. If you go, who's
going to save me? Save you from what?

From myself.

You're a man. You can understand what
I'm going through.

I want to be true to Georgette, but how
many times in a man's life does he get a

shot at a girl like Whitney?

May never happen again.

Sure never happened before.

I know that may come as a shock to you,
Murray.

And I know you figure a guy as good
-looking as me has probably got chicks

crawling all over him.

For some strange reason, it never
happened to me.

Closest I ever came to having a
beautiful girl go for me was when I was

school.

Mona Esposito.

A good -looking girl.

Fantastic.

One night I must have been upcouraged to
ask her to go for a drive.

Took up a...

Dark, deserted road.

When we were in the middle of nowhere, I
pulled over to the side and I told her

we were out of gas.

What happened?

Nothing.

By the time I got back with the gas, she
was gone.

Mary!

I'm leaving now.

I just want to say goodbye.

Oh, right. Yeah, okay. See you at the
office on Monday. I wouldn't leave if I

didn't have to. No, no, of course not.

Hope your hamster feels better.

Mary, make him stay.

Ted, look, I already told Marie I was
going home. I'll see you Monday.

Well, then give me some advice, Marie.

How can I tell Whitney I'm not
interested?

What are you asking me for?

I had a hard enough time telling that
guy I didn't want a cha -cha.

Mary? Mary, don't leave me alone.

Well, Ted, I'm sorry, but I have a
dinner date. Well, I don't know if I can

resist temptation.

I'm not sure how I'm going to behave
with Whitney.

I can't believe what I'm hearing.

Well, I can't help it, Mary. I'm a weak
person.

And she's a really beautiful woman.

Really beautiful, Mary.

Now, don't take this the wrong way, but
she makes you look like a dog.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mary.

Remember, you introduced me to her. I
mean, if anything happens, it's your

fault. Dad, what do you want me to do?

Save me for myself. Tell me how wrong it
will be.

Mary, really lay it on me, please.

All right.

It would be bad.

Really bad.

Despicable.

Probably the worst thing you ever did in
your life.

And you'll burn in hell.

You're going to have to do a lot better
than that, Mary.

Just one more thing.

What would you do if you were married
and something like this happened to you?

Ted, I... Mary, please.

All right, all right. If I were married
and some man made the kind of

advantage... Oh, no, no, no. Not just
some man.

Let's say it was Robert Redford.

Robert Redford?

By the way, Mary Whitney also makes him
look like a bow -wow.

All right, Ted, all right. Even if it
were Robert Redford.

I'm sure I would just tell him straight
out. I would say, Robert...

It has to be Robert Redford.

He's telling you he wants you.

He needs you.

You start sniveling on your ear.

Gives you little bites on the back of
the neck.

What would you do then?

Who did you say I was married to?

See, it isn't easy, is it? Aw, Ted, come
on.

Who is it?

It's Whitney, Pat.

Mary, it's her. Please, what will I do?
Ted, I can't be your conscience for you.

You're just going to have to be a man
and do what's right.

Okay, okay, I'll be a man. I'll do
what's right. Just do me one favor.

Listen at the keyhole.

If you hear me starting to enjoy myself,
wait ten minutes, then break the door

down.

Interview? Oh, sure.

Can I go get you a typewriter?

You know that won't be necessary.

Excuse me.

I've got someone here.

In the next room, I have to check. I've
got a high fever.

Almost as high as mine.

Dad, for crying out loud.

Relax, Mary. I've already got more than
I can handle.

Dad, you get out of here this instant.
She kissed me, Mary.

I'm a weak person. Please help me. I
love Georgette, but that girl in there

could kiss for a living.

Dad, if you really love Georgette... I
do, I do. Then just tell her you're

sorry.

business appointment in half an hour.
Where?

I don't know where, Ted. It doesn't
matter where.

Anywhere. Okay.

Okay. Business appointment anywhere.

Okay.

Is everything okay?

Oh, fine. Fine. I just remembered that I
have a very important business

engagement in half an hour.

Oh, can't you break it? Well, I'm afraid
not.

I mean, business is business.

Well.

Okay, that's the way it has to be.

That's the way it has to be.

Well, that's the way it is. I mean,
that's the way it goes.

What are you going to do?

I mean, that's the way the cookie
crumbles.

Well, I'd better check on my friend.
It's time to take the thermometer out.

Mary, it worked. Good.

I told her I had a business appointment
and she bought it. Fine, fine.

Naturally, she's disappointed.

What woman wouldn't be? Ted, if you
don't mind, I am trying to get dressed.

right, right. Mary, thanks. I'm really
grateful.

I'll do the same for you if Robert
Redford ever gets the hot.

Hi.

You're not feeling well?

You did say we only had a half hour.

Excuse me, I think my friend is dying.

Ted!

Yes?

What about me?

Oh, I'm sorry, my friend can't have any
visitors.

That's not what I meant, Ted.

Hey, Whitney, there's something I've got
to tell you.

Yes, Ted?

I mean, you're... You're a beautiful
woman, and I appreciate the fact that

you're... You're attracted to me.

I'm a married man.

And I have a wonderful wife.

And I love... And I love her more than
anything else in the whole world.

I can't make whoopee with you.

I mean, I wish I could, but I can't. I
can, you know, but I can't.

You have no idea how much I wish I
could.

But I... I made a vow to be faithful,
and I'm not gonna break that vow for any

woman, even you.

You know, Ted,

You're quite a guy.

Yeah, I'm quite a guy.

You're not mad at me, are you?

No, Ted.

Well... It was nice meeting you,
Whitney.

And it was nice doing whatever it was we
didn't do.

Listen, I... I'll never forget tonight.

I... It'll remain something very special
to me always.

And you're a wonderful woman to be so
kind and understanding.

And if you're ever in Minneapolis,
please stay away from my house.

Mary,

everything's fine.

Straightened out, perfect.

Good, good. Ted, I'd like you to meet
Jim Sutton. This is Ted Baxter, our

anchorman. Hi. Hi.

You're going out with one of the
greatest ladies in the world.

She's sweet, she's kind, helpful, a real
angel.

Thanks, Mary. Oh, Ted, don't mention it.
I'll see you in the morning. Oh,

there's just one more thing. Yes, Ted.
If Whitney comes back, can I sleep with

you tonight?
