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 all.

Is it new?

Yeah.

It's smart, it says it, and it's you.

Thank you.

Hey, I thought you had an iron. Yeah, I
do, but you need two of them for a

grilled cheese sandwich.

I was watching television, and there was
Pat Boone, and I suddenly got this urge

for a grilled cheese sandwich. And, of
course, a glass of milk.

Mary!

Mary, I'm glad I caught you alone. Are
you busy?

Close the door. Oh, yes.

Bess is outside with her young man, and
they're going to the school dance, and

she's so proud of him. I just know how
much she'd like you to meet him. Oh,

sure, I'd love to meet him. Oh, and
Mary, when I bring them in, don't make a

big fuss over them. Don't treat them
like children.

They're not children, you know. They're
little people.

I would love to meet your little people.
Why don't you just slide them under the

door?

Mary, you know what I mean.

Young people find it embarrassing to be
gushed over.

It's so patronizing. Promise me you
won't gush. I promise.

I won't gush. I cross my heart.

I'm going to bring them in now.

You can come in now. They're coming in
now.

Good dress.

Thanks, Aunt Mary. This is my friend
William Campbell, Mary Richards.

Hello, William. Nice to meet you.

You didn't tell me your aunt was such a
beautiful woman.

Oh, well, thank you.

Isn't he cute? And so polite.

Hi, Mary.

Rhoda Morgenstern. Beautiful Aunt Mary's
good -natured friend.

Nice to meet you.

I said the cutest little thing you ever
saw.

Miss? Miss Richards, best mention you
work in a newsroom at WJM.

Well, I'm very interested in you. Oh,
well, I tell you, anytime you want to,

come down to the station and look
around, huh?

Thanks. I like that.

Everybody, I am late. I'm sorry. I've
got to run. I've got to meet my date

downtown in five minutes.

Well, if Miss Richards is going
downtown, maybe she could drop us off

you a trip.

Oh, Mary? Yeah, sure. I don't see why
not.

Well, you two have a wonderful time now.

Remember, there's no curfew.

Whenever you two decide to come home,
it's all right with Lars and me.

Goodbye.

And I'll be in the park.

have to go up those stairs to that
lonely room and spend an unexciting

with a book. Whereas you get to spend an
exciting evening with Lars, watching

him try to wake up his leg.

Good morning.

Well, good morning.

Remember you told me I could come down
to the newsroom and look around?

Yeah, right, I did. It's just that I
didn't expect to see you so soon.

You really look beautiful this morning.

Well, thank you.

Don't you have school today?

Nope, they let me off.

Well, I'm going to do a story for the
school paper, you know, all about

television news programs. Uh -huh. So
they let me off.

Oh, well, well. Well, this is the
newsroom. Oh, not much going on right

Did you have a nice time last night?

Yeah, yeah, it was okay.

You know, I don't think it was right of
your date to have you meet him like

that. I mean, I may be old -fashioned.

But the right thing to do would have
been to pick you up at your apartment.

You know, I couldn't agree with you
more.

Guess we're both old -fashioned, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

That guy you were out with last night,
did you see him a lot?

No.

Boy, you really do an in -depth
interview, don't you?

school paper i'm always pleased to meet
a fellow journalist thank you may i have

a cup of coffee yeah sure

news writing. I mean, around here, news
writing is one of the most important

jobs. That's right.

If it weren't for me, people would turn
on the six o 'clock news, see a grown

man with a silly look on his face
saying, good evening, I'm... I'm... Hi,

guys.

Oh,

hi, Sonny.

Any fresh coffee?

Uh, yeah, Ted, I'll get you some. Sit
down, Mr. Richards, I'll get it.

Well, thanks. Cute kid.

How many figures did he take? Six.

Bill, I'd like you to meet William
Campbell.

William's doing a story on the newsroom
for a school paper.

Oh, really?

Well, pleased to meet you, Bill. I hope
you don't mind my calling you Bill.

No. Good.

Well, Bill, it all started in a 5 ,000
-watt radio station in Fresno,

California.

Grant won.

Well, either I shape up or I'm fired.

I thought I was a mail boy. That's Lou.

Everybody under the age of 20 looks
alike.

Mary, will you handle this? Yes, sir.

Mail! All right, I'm late.

You're not the mail boy. No, Mr. Grant,
this is the mail boy. Come here, kid.

Uh, listen, um, about that in there,
about, uh, what

I said.

You know, if I sounded a little tough,
well, that was because...

Here's a buck.

Anyway, the turning point in my career
came one night when I heard the lonely

clickety -clack of the railway train.

It seemed to be saying to me over and
over, go into television, go into

television.

And then the train said, and you'll be
bad, and you'll...

Hannah, figure it out, man.

He met you and I at the same time, and
yet he picked you.

That's sort of sweet, though. I mean, he
helped me off with my coat. He opened

doors for me. He kept telling me how
beautiful I was.

You know, I had somebody in love with me
like that once.

Freckles, chocolate stains on his face,
runny nose.

He was a stockbroker.

William! It's me, Mary. William.

Mary, William. Ho, ho. First name, base
name. this already, huh?

Hello. Hi.

You really look beautiful tonight.

This is where I came in. See you later,
Mayor. Nice to see you again. Rhoda,

must you go?

That's very nice of you, Mayor, but you
know what they say, three's a crowd.

Besides that, I can tell you two young
people would like to be alone.

I was in the neighborhood and there was
something I felt I had to tell you.

Oh?

Mary,

on the school paper.

I just used that as an excuse to spend
the day with you.

Would you forgive me?

Well, uh, yeah.

I don't see why not.

Good.

Can I come in for a minute?

Oh, yeah, sure. Come on in.

I also remember you told me you liked a
good conversation, so I thought maybe

tonight we could just sit around and get
to know each other better.

We won't be needing these, will we?

Tell me, Mary, why haven't you ever
gotten married?

Oh, just never met the right guy, I
guess.

But you have lived with somebody before,
though.

Ice cream.

Ice cream. That's what we need is some
ice. I haven't had any dessert, and I

you haven't had your dessert either,
right? So why don't I just...

I'll have Beth come up here, and then
we'll all have some ice cream. Beth!

Hi, Aunt Mary told me you were up here.
How come you weren't at school today?

Um, I didn't feel like going.

I like you too.

Only there's somebody I've met that I
like better, and I don't think we ought

go out with each other anymore.

I know who it is. It's that new girl,
isn't it?

Carmela Corchione.

The one with the big sweaters.

You're never going to get it by taking
wild guesses.

Is she in our homeroom?

No, she's not in our homeroom. Is she in
our class?

No. Is she older? Yes.

Does she have brown hair? Yes.

No. Do I know her?

Yes.

Old. Old.

Doesn't go to our school.

Brown hair.

William, what are you doing in Aunt
Mary's apartment?

Nothing. I was just talking to her. You
have eight questions left.

It should be a barrier.

That nice kid who was here yesterday.

What? The one I spent four hours with
telling my whole life story to?

I'm going to report him to his school.
Who sent the flowers?

The nice kid.

Well, if he thinks I'm going to forgive
him just because he sent me flowers.

He sent the flowers to me. See, he's got
kind of a crush on me.

Oh, what am I going to do? I don't want
to hurt his feelings. He's such a sweet

boy. Say, Mayor.

watching a rerun of Ozzie and Harriet
the other night, and Ricky had the same

problem.

He fell in love with his high school
English teacher.

Ozzie took him into his den. You know
that den that he had?

Ozzie told him, he said, Ricky, in this
world, when you cheat, you're only

cheating yourself.

Ricky was cheating with his high school
English teacher?

Must have gotten that mixed up with the
episode where Ricky had David. do his

homework for him.

Well, anyway, it all worked out in the
end.

Of course, I don't think it'll be so
easy for you, Mayor.

That's right, Mayor.

You don't have an Aussie to talk to.

Any calls?

No, no calls. Say, Lou, you ever have a
crush on anyone older when you were a

kid? Yeah.

Her name was Margaret.

She didn't even know I was alive.

Isn't that funny how I almost forgot
that?

Yeah, Margaret.

She had this golden hair.

She had the best rear end I ever saw.

So firm you could crack an egg on it.

That's about as tender as we'll ever see
her.

Newsroom. Yeah, she's here.

Hold on.

Is it? Mm -hmm.

Do you date anyone else who calls me,
sir?

don't think that we should lunch well
all right i think

maybe it is a good idea for us to have a
talk all right fine see you then

goodbye mary's got a boyfriend can

you

imagine william is taking me to la
parisienne it's not that expensive You

what kind of place it is? Up front they
have this big sign that says, over two

million escargots sold.

I just figured that lunch was as good a
place as any to get this whole thing

cleared up. Yeah.

Are you expecting someone?

Uh -uh.

You don't suppose it's him?

Worse, it's her.

Now, Rhoda, if you don't mind, I'd like
to speak to Mary on a personal matter.

Go ahead.

wrote a note.

Mary, I came here tonight to assure you

before this trivial situation gets blown
up out of all proportion that you have

nothing to feel guilty about.

In fact, Bess and Lars and I all agree
that it is really the best thing that

could have happened.

What's the best thing that could have
happened? That William chose you over

Bess.

of the other woman.

Rhoda, speak not of what you know not
of.

After all, Mary, you may be the first
rival Bess ever had, but you're

not going to be the last.

Still is. I am not Bess's rival. I think
Lars said it for all of us when he said

to Bess...

more than that.

That's laws.

He always speaks not of what he knows
not of.

I had a rather similar experience in
high school.

There was this boy that I liked very
much, and then there was this

other girl.

Little Miss Personality, bright,
cheerful,

Perky. Oh, you know the type.

A girl not unlike you, Mary.

Oh, I'll admit she had a kind of surface
charm, but no real depth.

So, naturally, I was hurt when he
invited her to the prom instead

of me.

But I got over it.

Oh, there were a few schoolgirl tears.

A few dark nights of the soul.

It wasn't easy accepting the fact that I
was the only girl in my senior class

who didn't have a date to her own prom.

I was so ashamed I didn't have a date. I
told my father I was meeting this boy

at his house.

Isn't that ridiculous?

And that night, I put on my green
organdy formal

evening gown.

purple orchid wrist corsage that I had
sent to myself.

And I went out alone to the movies.

I sat through three showings until it
was time to go back to my house

where I cried myself to sleep.

Sort of a catharsis, you might say. I
feel like a million.

I'll see you later. I've got to go wash
my hair.

And for dessert, may I suggest our
pastry tray?

You don't have orange marmalade ice
cream, do you? She seems to like that.

I'm sorry.

Okay, the pastry tray.

I promise you, you will have everything
just the way you want it. Thank you.

And could I talk to the violinist now,
please?

Certainly. Maurice?

Maurice? This young man would like you
to play something for him and his young

lady. With pleasure.

May I suggest...

Yes, I'm supposed to meet somebody here.
Very.

Right this way.

You.

You really look beautiful this
afternoon.

William, I want you to know that the
only reason I came here this

Here, it's for you.

William, I don't want you buying
presents from me. I can afford it. I got

great paper route.

Aren't you going to open it?

It's not real gold.

Shall I help you put it on?

Sure.

Mary, is it too late to ask you to the
movies Saturday night?

William, I cannot go to the movies with
you.

Friday? No.

Monday? I'm usually not allowed on
school nights. William!

because you're friends with Bess. You
don't want to go out with me.

It has nothing to do with Bess.

Is there somebody else?

William, there doesn't have to be
somebody else.

Just physical.

Let me explain something to you.

You, William, are a boy.

And I, Mary, am a grown -up lady.

And you see, grown -up ladies just do
not go out with little boys.

So you're a grown -up. Big deal.

That's right. It is a big deal. Well,
who said? I said.

Well, you're really lousy, you know.

Shouldn't have told me you liked me.

William, please stop kicking the table.
You're going to spill the water.

Listen, listen to me.

These things sometimes happen. Sometimes
two people meet and they're just not

right for each other.

And it's nobody's fault.

William, can't you understand that?

William, look, I can't fall in love with
every man I meet, can I?

I guess not.

Good. Now, sit up straight and eat your
lunch. It looks delicious.

Mary, you know, I really liked going
with you.

Thanks. Me too.

I'd like you to meet Roger Henshaw.
Roger, this is Mary Richards. Hi, Roger.

Hello. We're going to the movies.

Oh, great. I hope you have a wonderful
time.

You better get going now. Okay. It was
nice meeting you, Roger, and I hope I'll

see you again.

With Beth.

Sometime.

Okay, uh, bye.

Bye -bye.

Bye.

Aunt Mary.

What? She didn't even notice you.

Great!
