Hello, I'm calling from the trip. I'd
like to...

It's stimulating work, really.

When I get up in the morning, I am
excited to get to the office.

I mean, well, now, for instance, here's
a great statistic for you. Just the

sesame seeds that we use on our buns
alone.

Want to take a guess?

92 ,000 pounds a year.

That's over a million pounds since we
first opened our doors to the public.

the sesame seeds alone.

3 ,000 people employed.

Just in the harvesting and horticulture
of the sesame seeds that go on our buns.

Anyway, that's kind of a humorous
statistic.

If there is such a thing as a humorous
statistic.

Thank you.

Look,

maybe I could help you more if you'd be
a little more specific about what you

want. We want to ask you about your
training fund.

What about it?

We understand it operates with about
$400 ,000.

Oh, I don't know if it's that high.

But more than $300 ,000.

Well, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

What is this purpose?

That's just what it says.

Training. For the younger executives,
mostly.

But didn't you use the money for a trip
to Jamaica, also for the purchase of

jewelry? I don't know where you could
have heard that.

Are you denying it?

I'm denying it.

See, we just went on. I think this
discussion has ceased to be fruitful.

Do you know the way out?

We'll find it.

Pardon me, my watch is stopped. Do you
have the time?

Five after eleven.

Thank you.

Nice watch.

Worked about a couple of months for that
secretary's salary.

Okay, it could be useful.

Good move.

Well, gee, thanks.

You didn't get much out of Kimmy,
though. You didn't get much out of

Well, you did get 92 ,000 pounds less
vaccine.

Mm -hmm, and about a ton of fertilizer.

It was a very classy Stonewall, but it
was a Stonewall. I know. I could feel it

after doing this review. Yes, you sensed
these things.

And I have more. We have more.

We talked to an accountant who used to
work for Mr. Ginty's. Which is the fast

food chain.

Which is a wholly unsubsidiary of Zion
Incorporated. You know Mr. Ginty.

I'm familiar with their double cheese
Dublin burger. He claims that the

fund was really used to train top
management in the fine art of ripping

their stockholders.

They really authorized the purchases of
huge quantities of liquor, cases of it

sent to their homes? And clothes and
jewelry. What's wrong?

It's not so petty.

Tacky. Talk about tacky. They may even
have rigged their monthly contest so

their grand prizes went to the people
that they wanted.

You mean I ate all those greasy burgers
and I didn't have a chance of winning

the sweepstakes game?

They would have had an outside
accounting firm watch over the contest.

through a few accounting firms.
Apparently, the good ones quit when they

what was going on.

All right, for another couple of days.

It's doing okay.

You haven't been here very long, but
dealing with Rossi can be difficult.

I can handle difficult guys.

I bet you can.

He's a good reporter.

Well, I'm glad you see that, but if he
starts to bug you... I like him.

Okay. Bye, girl.

Bye, Lou.

See you after lunch.

Yeah, that's for lunch. No, lunch for
lunch.

I make it a rule not to play with women
I like who beat me six walls.

Okay, first you get one of these game
envelopes. Each order.

Actually, you both only get one because
you ordered together.

No, you didn't know, so I'm going to
give you two.

Okay?

So then you need... one of these green
cars which has all these pictures of

merchandise and if you get all the parts
of a picture then you want like a tv or

a car or whatever it's pretty neat
actually i mean especially if you're

be eating here a lot well you can read
the instructions and then if you have

questions just come back and ask thank
you have you ever won anything me

personally employees can't blow oh

Enjoy your meal.

Open up the envelopes and win me a car.

I gotta get rid of that wreck I'm
driving.

Nuts. This is part of an AM FM radio.

I got an ocean.

An ocean?

That's part of the trip to Hawaii.

Whoa.

and I'll meet you at the office. If you
have any problems with the car, I'll

pick you up.

No, sir. I want you at your desk and
working on this story.

Oh, damn, I got your machine again.

Anyway, I'm having some people over for
wine and cheese thing Sunday.

New Grand will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

Doug, why don't you talk?

I said, why?

How many doors?

How many doors in this place?

Just two.

And you stay put.

Stay put.

Yes, sir.

Look.

Take whatever you want.

You want a camera? I got a very
expensive camera.

What else you got?

You want money?

I got some money in my purse by the
door.

You want to open it?

Because the lock is kind of tricky.

You didn't... You didn't have to do
that.

You can get it fixed.

How can I fix it if you cut the lever?
You get a new piece. You get somebody to

sew it on. Two million, three bucks.

It won't matter. You'll be fine.

I'm meant to go to the bank.

Look, I'll write you a check.

I'll write you a check for a lot of
money.

How stupid do you think I am?

Please. Just take whatever you want and
then go.

There's not enough here.

How do you know if you'll be up in Santa
Barbara?

Up there.

Could be us this weekend.

This weekend isn't good for me.

I have about five lessons. I'm supposed
to give that I've had to cancel.

How about the weekend after this one,
then?

I still have lessons.

Weekends just aren't good for me right
now.

Even if you didn't have lessons?

I don't know.

Bye.

Sorry, Art. It's a nice car.

It's okay. I hate to get that in my car
anyway.

Look, Art, it's just me. I'm a nutty
person.

I want to keep seeing you.

But I'm just not ready for weekends out
of town yet. Is that okay?

How about weekends in town?

Okay.

How about I play tennis with Rossi on
Saturday and then complain to you about

him over dinner?

Sounds nice.

I finally hit one end.

I scare you, don't I?

If you want to know the truth, I'm
terrified.

Is this knife scary?

It's one of the scarier elements.

You really don't think I would hurt

you, do you?

No, of course you wouldn't.

I like you.

You know that, don't you?

I've been watching you.

Is that what this is?

Are you going to rape me?

What do you think? You think I need to
get it like that?

No, no, of course you don't. I've got a
girlfriend.

I bet you have a lot of girlfriends.

Look, you don't seem like a bad guy.

I mean, I don't want to see you get
caught.

So maybe you should go now.

I mean, I'm not going to report this or
anything, but if somebody else sees you,

then they might.

Who else?

Well, a neighbor.

Or this guy. He's going to be coming to
pick me up.

When?

Should be pretty soon.

Then I'll kill him.

I'll kill him when he comes.

Look, I'll give you the keys to my car.

Do you have a car?

I'll give you mine. Then you can get
away.

I don't want to go.

I like it here.

I want to make love to you.

No, you don't.

I mean, you don't want to make love to
someone that doesn't want you to.

No,

you do what I say. Okay, okay, just
don't hurt me, okay? Just please, don't

me.

I'm going to sell, okay?

Okay. Just lay out the facts and let
Charlie convince himself.

I got it.

Hi, Charlie.

Hi.

I, uh... I was just looking over your
memo on the Mr. Gingy story.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. What do you think?

Something there, I guess.

But a disgruntled former employee making
charges in a company denying them

doesn't exactly sizzle off the page.

What do you mean?

We're talking about a $400 ,000 slush
fund.

A scandal that involves a contest that a
million kids play every day. If we make

our case, we've really got something.

Well, anyway, that's the way I see it.

Charlie, we've seen secretaries walking
around with expensive jewelry.

Rich boyfriends.

Okay, that doesn't prove anything, but
we have records of transactions from the

training fund, which we're trying to
verify.

And we know that they changed accounting
firms on this contest at least three

times. Why don't we run a story on this
ex -employee's allegations?

Smoke them out.

I want to build up the story more before
we let them know we have.

Or everyone will clam up.

Then where are we?

Why don't we get a list of the contest
winners?

Can we do that? It's a matter of public
record, isn't it?

Let's see who some of these winners are.
Maybe that'll tell us something. Does

law enforcement have this yet?

I'll check around. Go easy, Rossi.

We don't want him to go charging in and
ruin what we have. Neither.

You better make some phone checks with
the cops.

Thanks, Charlie.

You see, Lou, how much more you
accomplish with a reasoned approach.

Yes. You're just going to tell the cops
I know it?

No, I'm not.

You could identify me.

I really think I won't remember, you
see. I'm not real good with faces, and

supposed to wear glasses, but I don't.

And I'm really just not going to tell
anybody about this. Why don't you please

just call them?

You liked it, didn't you?

Didn't you? Yes, of course.

You didn't act like you liked it.

I don't show it much.

It's just the way I am.

I don't know why you had to do this.

I mean, I'm sure things haven't been
easy for you in your life.

And I don't want to make things any
rougher.

So would you please just go?

I'm not going.

And this time, you're going to act like
you like it.

You're going to be ahead of the DA on
this. What do you got there? A list of

past winners and Mr. Gingy's
sweepstakes.

Okay. We had a lot of checking to do.

Has Sharon come in yet?

Haven't seen her.

It's three o 'clock.

I'm going to try your house. These
represent three contests going back to

last year.

Yeah, I can see that. You want to take
the first one?

Fine.

Lissa Persegian.

Who? Lou.

Lissa Persegian. She won a Mercedes,
which is the grand prize in this

Here's a clip that showed through at a
Beverly Hills fundraiser with her then

-fiancé, Elliot Gibby.

Well, isn't he the executive for Mr.
Ginty's that you interviewed?

Sure, but they can't do that.

Employees or relatives of employees
cannot enter the contest. Even a crooked

accounting firm wouldn't let that by.

Nice, Billy.

The fiancé isn't a relative yet.

Uh -huh.

And from the looks of Luther, she's not
the type to do a lot of lunching at Mr.

Ginty's. Even the Beverly Hills' Mr.
Ginty's.

You're a nice girl.

I like talking to you.

Are there many cops in your
neighborhood?

Never see them.

Your neighbors are going to wonder what
a white guy's doing in your apartment.

I have a lot of white friends.

I've been here a long time.

That's why I could spot me as soon as I
go out there.

Not if you leave like a friend. They
won't think anything of it.

If you just act cool and leave like a
friend, nobody will think anything of

You're smart, you know that?

Here. I don't need the money I took from
you.

No, you keep it.

Just go now, okay? Now would be a real
good time, you know, for you to go

the neighbors get home from work, you
know?

Maybe we could do this again sometime.

I don't think that would be a good idea.

Just please go.

I think the prices should go up higher.
Where, second graph?

Second graph, maybe even first graph.
Oh, I'll have to rerun the entire lead.

So?

Lead's good, Lou.

Lead is good? It can still be good if
you put some prices up there. How's the

fast food, fast bus story?

A key witness has disappeared, driven
her Mercedes into the sunset.

I can't find Alyssa Parstigian anywhere
in the entire L .A. area.

Maybe she married someone else. You
could still be in town.

And what about that Mercedes she won?

Maybe we should try checking the
Mercedes service places.

In L .A.? Take a month?

Oh, gee, just a minute.

Simon, where the hell have you been?

Who do you believe will help around here
this afternoon?

I told Donna that I had this already for
deadline.

You could have called at least. We're in
a communications business. We should

start communicating with each other.

Right.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment.

You're on A &E.

Getting out?

In just a second.

We'll get on that phony doctor story
first thing tomorrow.

Well, Rosen's all on it. He has the
background.

He has medical training?

No, but he's a hypochondriac. Close
enough.

Good night, Blake. Good night.

See you tomorrow.

Yeah, we'll get to you tonight.

Good night.

Well, good night.

Good night.

So what happened? More car trouble? I
said I'd pick you up. Well, no.

Oh.

You didn't even ask about our story.

You know, we got a list of contests, and
it looks like we can tie one to a Mr.

Ginty's executive.

Great. That's real great.

Yeah.

If you make your desk any neater,
they're going to start wondering if you

have talent.

Yeah. Well.

Hey, is something wrong? You're sore
with me.

No. Did you hear some bad news today or
something?

No, it's just, um, this guy attacked me.

What do you mean?

Sorry, guys.

Good night, Luke.

Well, I guess he raped me.

You guess?

He did rape you?

Yeah. I mean, he didn't hurt me or
anything.

I don't care what you guys find. I'll
always love the double cheese Dublin

burger.

Good night.

When you came into work... You can stop

working now, Sharon. Go home.

No. No, I can't go back there tonight.

Okay. Then you won't.

Have you called the cops and reported
this?

No.

Are you going to?

I hadn't thought about it.

Hadn't thought about it?

Well, I really don't want to tell
anybody about this.

You think I should call the police?

Well, the only thing is, if you don't
report it, and nobody even tries to

this guy, he could do it again.

Would you call him?

Of course.

Sure.

I'll do it.

Hi, we'd like to see a doctor.

Okay, what's the problem?

Ray.

Okay, we'll get you right in to see
somebody.

Could you step down here, please?

I just need to get some information
first. I'll let you do that. Do you want

cup of coffee?

It would be advisable for you not to
drink anything until you've been

Why? It could destroy evidence.

It's the same reason why you shouldn't
shower or change your clothes.

I already did.

Do I still need an examination?

Yes. This form will just take a minute.

Your first name?

Sharon.

Your last name, Sharon?

McNeil.

McNeil.

To be Irish, you have to stick together.

Well, it's nice that you still have your
sense of humor.

But you should know that you're in shock
now.

Things are going to get kind of
different later.

Thanks, but I'll be okay.

I know you will.

I just want you to be prepared.

I'm fine.

Let's just get it done.

Lou, I'm down here at the emergency room
with Sharon.

What's wrong?

Well... She was raped.

This afternoon?

She was in right at deadline.

I know. She came in afterwards and
worked.

Oh, boy.

I was chewing her out.

Me too, I know.

How is she?

She's okay.

I mean, considering, she's okay.

Did they get the guy?

No, not yet.

She's in there with the police now.
They'll get back in there.

You want me to come down there?

No, I don't think so. I just thought you
ought to know.

Right.

I'd like as accurate a description of
your assailant as possible.

All right.

He was 30, 31, white, light brown hair.

He had on a green shirt, jeans,
sneakers.

Hair on his arms and legs, less on the
back and chest.

He had bad acne on his back.

His hands, forearms, face and neck were
more tanned than the rest of them, so he

probably works in a long -sleeved,
rolled -up shirt.

He had a strawberry mark here, and a
mole here, and he had bad breath.

That's very good. I'm a reporter.

It's my training.

Why don't you just tell us what
happened?

I was outside doing laundry, and when I
came back, there he was.

The knife.

He forced me on the couch and tied my
wrists.

And then what happened?

He looked around for things to rob.

That went on for a while.

Then he began pacing.

Like he was unsure what he wanted.

So then I began to think that he wanted
something else, like to attack me or

something. So I asked him. You brought
the subject of rape up first?

Well, I guess.

What difference does that make?

It shouldn't make any difference.

Let's go on.

What happened next?

He, uh, began pacing about, agitated.

Then he kissed me.

Then he took my clothes off.

Then he took his shirt off.

Then he pulled on his pants.

What happened?

Then he raped me.

I know it sounds like I just let him.

Maybe I could have kicked him or
screamed.

I mean, don't I tell you to scream?

I didn't.

He had a knife.

You did what you had to do.

Right.

Right.

Well, this is it.

All the comforts of the public library.

Joe, you don't have to clean up. Yeah,
yeah, let me just get some of this

It's getting to the point where you'd
have to start reading this stuff or

You hungry?

Not really.

You didn't have any dinner?

Here. I just bought some bananas.

Two weeks ago.

Wait, apples are okay after two weeks.

Thanks. Okay, sleeping assignments.

Girls in the Blue Jay bunkhouse, boys in
the Metal Ark tent.

Where is it? Just past the latrine?

Yeah, come on, I'll show you. I have to
get you some fresh sheets anyway.

You don't have to get me fresh sheets.

Yes, I do. The last time I changed them
was after I bought them.

Nice sheets.

Forest dreams. Make you feel like you're
sleeping in a pine forest.

If you sleep with your eyes open.

I probably will.

Joe. Huh?

This is really nice of you.

Look, I'm a lousy host. So what you have
to do, if you want anything, just take

it.

If you want to talk or anything in the
middle of the night, I'll just be there

on the couch.

Anyway, good night.

Good night, Joe.

Next time we have lunch at your favorite
place, next time we'll have it at mine.

This is fine.

What's good here?

Anything that comes in a glass.

White wine.

I have a lousy thing happen at work.

Well, not at work.

What? One of our reporters was raped
yesterday.

Who? You know that Sharon?

New reporter.

Black, good looking.

Some guy broke into her apartment and
held her prisoner for several hours.

Apparently he had a knife.

Poor girl.

Well, she seems to be okay.

It didn't take her a long time to get
over it.

Well, she seems fine, really. No, it
will.

I still have it.

Have it what?

Gotten over it.

When did it happen?

A little more than two years ago.

Right here in L .A., right after I moved
down from San Francisco.

In fact, it was a guy who was helping me
move stuff into my new apartment.

Was it a friend?

No, a girlfriend of mine knew him, and
I'd met him maybe twice.

He offered to help me move. I was really
impressed by how friendly people were

down here.

And then at one point, we were alone in
the apartment, and he overpowered me and

raped me.

Did you report it?

They arrested him, and of course he was
released on bail right away, and then

there was a trial, and then he got off.

He got off?

It was his word against mine.

And he was this upstanding CPA, and I
was this tennis -playing chick from the

sexually uninhibited Bay Area.

I didn't have a chance with him or the
judge.

A jeweler in Westwood says he sold over
50 watches to a corporate officer at

Mystic Eats.

Now we have to show how that character
is connected to the training fund.

All right. Melissa Tomlinson, Nate
Parsegian, 821 Castle Way, San Marino.

right. Very nice. Very nice.

Oh, look, we can run it out from here.
That's terrific.

What's terrific?

We like terrific around here. Sharon
just found our ex -fiance.

Oh, that's real good.

Yeah.

Maybe you'd like to lay out of the story
for now. Take some time off. No, I'd

like to work the story.

Okay, but take it at your own pace.
There's no pressure.

If there is, I don't want to get beat on
it. Well, you know what I mean. Hey, I

can handle it.

Okay, everybody?

I can handle it. It's not that big a
deal.

Lou Grant will continue in a moment here
on A &B.

Come in.

Thank you. Come in, gentlemen.

I just heard about Miss McNeil.

Yeah. It's beginning to look like we're
in the middle of an epidemic.

We seem to hear about this sort of thing
almost daily.

Do we have the new lights in the parking
lot yet?

No, not yet.

Well, then let's hurry that along, all
right? Yeah, we will.

She wasn't attacked in the parking lot.
I understand, but at least we can do

what we can do.

How is she? She seems to be doing all
right.

She's out working on the Mr. Ginty story
now.

How could you send her out on a story?

She wanted to go.

Have they caught the rapist?

No.

You know, with all of the resources we
have, you'd think that we'd be able to

something about it. We may not be able
to do anything about this case, but it

does seem to me our coverage of this
subject is very light.

We don't want to sensationalize rape.

People still look at it as a sexy thing.

I think those headlines pretty co -ed as
seventh victim.

So do I. We've been so careful not to be
exploitive about it, we fail to inform

our readers how widespread this is.

Exactly. Do you know how many of these
criminals have gotten off scot -free?

Why haven't I seen anything about that
in the newspaper?

Or those who are caught, how they get
out on bail to prey on more victims

they're even tried for their first
crime.

We... Could do better there. You've got
a right to be upset.

This is not upset, Strauss.

This is anger.

I am angry.

I am angry. I'm angry because I'm
frightened.

Every woman has to be.

It's not just women.

Everyone's vulnerable to some kind of
attack.

Not this kind of attack.

It's widespread.

It's frequent.

It's a giant problem that has never
really been faced.

And you can't help but wonder, if men
were the ones being raped,

then wouldn't the problem get solved?

So we wait outside this house in San
Marino for Lisa, for Siggy, and

for, what, at least two hours?

Yeah.

Boy, Kimmy must have really dumped her
hard because then she couldn't tell us

enough. Nice.

Does anyone want more coffee?

Nothing. No.

How are you doing?

Fine. That's good.

I think I know how I'd feel if it
happened to me.

But it wouldn't have happened, right?

I didn't say that.

It could have happened to anyone. We all
know that.

Do we?

Of course.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess.

Boy, I'm really messed up.

Messed up?

This wasn't your fault.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Sharon, let's get together. Talk.

Yeah, that'd be great.

As soon as I get the time.

It's really hard to talk to now.

I know.

I got enough Brussels sprouts to feed an
army.

What army eats Brussels sprouts?

The Belgian army.

Um, you know that place you mentioned
here, Santa Barbara?

Oh, Refugio. Yeah.

I'm thinking it would be kind of nice to
see it.

I mean, the two of us.

You know, go up there, get sand in the
car.

Oh, okay.

I don't exactly sound overjoyed. Oh,
sure, that's great.

Make your own damn Brussels sprouts.
Make your own dinner.

My heart. Wait a minute.

Come on. Come on. What is it?

Ever since you found out I was raped,
you've been treating me like I was

tainted. That's not true.

I don't need this.

Neither do I.

You don't. It happened to me, you know.

What the hell were you doing alone in an
apartment with a guy you don't even

know, anyway?

My friend knew him, and he was helping
me.

Right.

It was just an ordinary guy.

But he was like a different person.

Mean, tough.

He knew exactly what he wanted.

He caught me by surprise. He was
stronger than me, and he attacked me.

it's all coming back.

Carol. What?

I want to put my arms around you, but I
hold back because... Because I'm damaged

goods. Because I don't know how you'll
react. I don't know if it disgusts you

frightens you or what.

Did I seem disgusted or frightened
before you found out about this?

You were uptight and guarded.

I mean, physically, things have gone
smoother with other women.

Great.

You must have felt that, too. So why
didn't you just take off?

Because I like you.

The physical stuff isn't all that
important.

For a while, I wasn't too crazy about
men.

I disliked men.

And then it became sort of okay to be
around much older men or much younger

And then finally, I got to the point
where I could go out, not with any one

person for very long, though.

Until you.

It was comfortable with you.

Now it's just turned into a big mess.

I don't think it's a big mess.

A little mess.

You're being kind, and that's nice, but
you have to know, I'm still a mess.

And I'm just not very good yet at being
close.

Bluegrass will continue in a moment here
on A &E.

I thought you might want to look at some
of this material, but, uh, I thought we

got a lot of work to do.

Nah, come on.

I haven't done any work in an hour and a
half. I was starting to feel dissolute.

You want some soup?

No, I'll have to go pick Sharon up in
about five minutes.

Oh, you don't have time for a graceful
approach.

It's a good fellow what you're here for.

Lou, I feel so terrible about what
happened to Sharon.

We all do.

Yeah, but nobody else was responsible.

Oh, come on, Rossy. You're not
responsible.

I was with her minutes before the guy
attacked her.

I just dropped her off at her place and
drove off.

I keep thinking if only I'd gone inside
with her.

You can't guard all the women you know
24 hours a day.

I should have sensed something was wrong
all that afternoon. She was supposed to

come into work. I knew that.

I called her. There was no answer.

I should have known there was a problem.

And done what?

Gone over there.

I don't know.

Just keep thinking somehow.

I could run into the guy who did it.

And do what?

Strangle him?

Strangling would be good.

Drawing and quartering.

Bludgeoning. A lot of good options
there.

I know it's crazy.

But it makes me crazy.

Now, she's fine about it.

She is?

Yeah. Except that she won't go back to
her apartment. She's real calm.

Says she's lucky the guy didn't use a
knife on her. I hear that.

Says she wasn't a virgin, so what's the
problem?

Just wants to put it all behind her.

I don't think she's sleeping too much,
though.

Bossy, you've been good to her.

Oh, yeah, I haven't done anything.

You let her stay with you.

You helped her.

I just have a feeling this whole thing
may not have caught up with her.

Well, maybe.

And when it does, I know you'll be there
for her.

Oh, yeah.

Sure. Miss McGill, you want to come in
now?

Thank you.

Well, yeah, I'm kind of glad you came
along this morning.

That other fellow may be a good
reporter, but you're certainly much

look at.

Get your damn hands off of me, you
stupid creep!

Just stay away!

You think you can take advantage of any
woman that comes near you?

What gives you the right?

Just stay away! Just keep your distance!
Just stay away! Just stay away!

It was unprofessional, but

I'm okay now.

Don't worry about it. I'll go see him.

Well, we don't really need another
interview with Kitty.

I'll pick it up.

No. If we have to have it, then I'll get
it.

I don't think that would be such a good
idea right now. Stop patronizing me.

I'm trying very hard not to fall apart
here, but you're not helping.

What if you did fall apart a little? No!

God.

It was so awful.

I thought it was going to kill me.

And now I can't feel safe anymore. I
feel like I can't be myself anymore.

You are yourself.

Sex is so much a part of what you are.

Rape isn't sex. It's violence.

Yes, but it's not just getting mugged or
robbed either.

The way I was raised... Sex is something
that you have.

And to give it...

It's your choice.

And it's all connected up with the way
you look at yourself and the way you

about yourself. And yet, just because of
the way men and women are built, a man

can just take that.

I just feel so invaded.

But it was under duress.

Look, if you are forced...

To sign a contract at gunpoint, that's
not valid. It doesn't count.

I know.

I know.

I've been telling myself that it doesn't
count.

But it happened.

He was in his house.

He was in... Oh, God, I don't know where
I

began and the world ends anymore. I
don't own my own body.

And I learned that.

I never did.

There's no part of me that I can
protect.

Not my house. Not my property.

Not my sexuality.

Not my life.

But you did protect your life.

You did. I'm so glad you did.

Sharon, you are a terrific person.

This hasn't made you less terrific, less
anything.

so intelligent and talented and pretty
and...

Who

do I talk to about this

good lousy coverage of women's tennis?

Well, hi.

I'm the guy in charge of lousy coverage.

I thought maybe you would like to take
me out for lunch.

I would.

So I haven't scared you off yet?

Well, you're more trouble than you're
worth, but this is business.

Business?

You're going to fill me in on the truth
coverage of Penance. Right.

Got a minute?

Come on in.

I finally called my mom last night and
told her.

How did she react?

Real good.

She was upset, of course, but real good.

Made me feel like I was ten years old
again.

She wants me to come back home to Kansas
City for a while.

Why don't you go?

It'll be all right.

Your job will be when you get back.

Whenever that is.

The Mr. Guinness story isn't finished.

Okay, we'll get it done.

Check in with it.
