All language subtitles for Benson s05e11 Unlisted Love

Yes, this is her.

Oh, well, that is good news. Thank you
for calling.

All right.

My pants will be back Wednesday.

What could be taking so long?

Well, maybe they broke the zipper.

I am not talking about the pants. I am
talking about the appropriations

committee. Could we just drop the pants?

Whatever turns you on.

I just hope they elect Tom Wembley
chairman.

Well, I'll be happy with anyone except
Tyler.

Benson, you can take my word for it.
Tyler does not stand a chance.

Well, I guess you guys heard.

Tyler won.

Where'd you hear that?

It was on the news bulletin just before
General Hospital.

That's going to make it tough to get the
unemployment extension passed.

You'll make everything tougher. He has
opposed me on every issue. Sir, I think

you're just going to have to put all
that in the past. Now, my suggestion is

that we throw a little cocktail party,
congratulate him, start things off on

right foot.

Yeah, I could get some pictures of the
two of you being real buddy -buddy. I'll

invite some columnists. We'll get
coverage on it.

I don't know. What do you think, Bunsen?
Well, I really don't see any point in

buttering up that bird brain. He's
always been a stumbling block.

He's just going to have to work around
him.

Bunsen.

Come in.

Hi. I'm from the phone company. We're
installing a new switchboard, and I need

to run some lines in here. It'll just
take a few minutes.

Oh, come on in.

Take as many minutes as you like.

Governor, I'll put out the standard
release on Tyler's election.

We're pleased, et cetera, et cetera.

That's it.

Hmm? That's it. What is it?

You know who that is?

Who, her? Yeah.

It's a telephone repair lady.

No, that is Betty Braxton. We went to
high school together.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

About Senator Tyler, how do you want to
handle it?

You were on the fence. She was the
cheerleader.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

I hugged my pom -poms.

Uh, could we get back to Tyler's
cocktail party?

We didn't say anything about giving him
a cocktail party. Could you fellows hold

that thought for just a minute?

Excuse me.

Oh, uh, yes.

I'm Gene Gatling. You don't remember me,
do you? Oh, sure, you're the governor.

No, no, that's not it.

We went to Crandall High together.

Yeah, I was kind of short. I had braces
on my teeth and a crew cut that sort of

leaned over to the left.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I do remember.

You were secretary of the student
council.

Two years running.

And you took your sister to the prom.

Two years running.

Listen, buddy, I hope you're not
embarrassed by this, but...

I sure had a big crush on you back then.

Really? Yeah.

This is ridiculous. He should be taking
care of business.

Looks to me like he is taking care of
business.

Well, I always thought of you as Mike's
girl.

Yeah, Mike.

We got married.

Oh, that's too bad.

I mean, congratulations.

But now we're divorced.

Oh, well, congratulations.

That's too bad.

I hate to interrupt this little class
reunion, but I do have a very tight

schedule.

I'll be with you when I'm done, Clayton,
not before.

I guess that sort of loosened up your
schedule, didn't it?

I'm done here anyway.

Maybe we could talk later.

Oh, I'd like that.

Oh, Governor?

Gene. Gene? Yeah.

I just wanted to tell you, you turned
out real nice.

So, what about Tyler?

Brunson, I'm in love.

Good grief. Can you give me a break over
here? The girl was just in here two

minutes. You couldn't be in love. I
didn't even get her phone number. I'll

right back. What about Tyler? I still
think the cocktail party is the best

Oh, I think it's a wonderful idea. It's
wonderful.

Finally, the man is making some sense.
He's beginning to think like me.

Clayton, the man isn't thinking at all.

Come to think of it, there is some
similarity.

Where is the governor? Here's the
governor just in time. Governor Gatling,

Senator Tyler.

Senator, nice to see you. Nice to see
you, too.

Now, I guess we're both liars.

Very amusing.

Hasn't he got a great sense of humor?

No.

Senator, I don't think you've met my
friend Betty Braxton. Betty, this is

Senator Leonard Tyler.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Senator
Tyler.

I'll bet you say that to all the
senators.

Betty, shall I get you a glass of punch?
Oh, thank you, Gene.

Anyway, Dubois, I understand you're
still pushing for that unemployment

extension. Senator, there are a lot of
people out there who need our help. I

assume you've read the most recent
unemployment statistics?

You want to know how to cut those
figures in half?

Get the housewives out of the job
market. Oh, that's a good idea.

Why should families eat three meals a
day anyway?

Benson!

Women have the right to work, too.

Betty!

But they don't have to work. That's why
they have husbands.

Leonard!

Suppose the woman doesn't have a
husband.

Then maybe she should start working on
her figure, sweetie.

It was an accident.

Senator, let me in.

This bimbo just threw a drink on me.

Bimbo? Now, here's your punch. Bad
timing, Governor.

What happened? What did I miss?

Somebody's going to pay for this.

Senator, Senator, wait, wait for me.

Well, that's our show for tonight,
folks.

Thanks for coming. Drive safely.

I don't want to hear any more about what
Betty did last night.

Sir, I don't think you can afford to
associate with someone who reflects

on this administration.

Then I guess that means you'll have to
resign.

Well, we're the headline in Capital
Channel today.

Let me see that.

Governor Gatling's newest flame made a
splash last night.

Unfortunately, the splash was a drink
thrown in Senator Tyler's face. The

senator made a quick exit.

And a large puddle.

Don't laugh.

The guys in the press room are calling
this Bettygate.

Warning, Governor.

I've heard enough.

If you're going to find your dates in
the yellow pages, next time look under T

for Tack.

This will be filed under G for garbage.

I care about Betty, and nothing is going
to come between us. Not you, not the

press, and not this office.

How do you like that, bucko?

I like it, I like it.

Any other opinions, Pete?

Oh, I don't have any opinions, Governor.
I'm married.

Well, Branson, do you have anything to
say about Betty Gate?

Not at this point in time.

Nothing, just sitting up here reading
with my feet propped up.

Yeah.

What?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Come on over.

That's all right. Take your time.

Don't you like Betty?

Sure, I like Betty. What? You just
slammed the door in her face.

Oh.

Hi. Hi.

Gene said that since we were in the
neighborhood, you'd be insulted if we

drop by.

Oh, well, thank you for sparing my
feelings.

Come on in. Thank you.

Can I get something to drink?

Oh, I'd love a diet soda. Oh, okay.
Well, come on, sit down. Have a seat.

night, Clay?

Oh, thank you very much.

Can I help?

Listen, I hope this isn't too much of an
imposition.

Oh, no, no, no, no. It's no imposition.

I thought you guys were going to the
movies.

Well, yeah, we want some privacy.

Oh. I thought you'd come over here.

Listen, it's not what you think.

I'm not thinking anything.

You think that I'm afraid to be seen in
public with Betty because of what that

got -up column said, aren't you? No, I
thought you came over here for privacy.

That's right. That's all we want is
privacy.

Whatever you say.

Okay, here.

Thank you. Sure.

I haven't seen a good movie in ages.

Would you two be upset if I went to the
movies?

No.

No.

No.

Good.

Then that's what I'll do.

I'll just go over here and get my coat
and jacket out of the closet.

See, I got my keys.

I got my wallet.

Excuse me.

Keys.

You guys have a good time. Of course, I
don't need to tell you that.

I should be pulling into the driveway.

Life easy, showing up at 11 o 'clock.

Don't start with me, Krause.

I'm angry, irritable, and in pain.

Last night I stubbed my toe on a
petrified gumdrop.

Well, I don't know what you're talking
about, but it sounds kinky.

No, it's not kinky.

I went to the movies last night and I
forgot my shoes.

I bet you just want people to look at
your feet.

Where'd you get your brain? A mail order
catalog?

So what was the movie about?

Oh, I don't know. It was an Italian.

Something about an old guy with a
bicycle who gives an electric train to a

Steal his horn.

Well, I don't remember that part.

When I stubbed my toe, I started
hollering and they asked me to leave in

languages.

Hi, Benson.

Gee, I'm so sorry that I'm late.

Don't apologize to him. He just came in
himself.

Don't worry about it, Denise.

I'm going to be in my office. I got any
appointments?

Not until three.

Good. Then I'll be sleeping.

evict the gypsies.

So is it nice?

Oh, yeah. It's got four rooms and a
monkey cage.

Oh, good.

Then Pete can have an office at home.

Tour starts at three o 'clock, buddy.

Oh, how's it going, Dubois?

Oh, Senator Tyler, what brings you to
the mansion?

Oh, just trying to get the feel of the
place. You never know.

or you just fall right over.

That's funny, Dubois.

Incidentally, we might get your
unemployment extension passed.

Gatling invited me to your progressive
government club wing -ding tonight.

I think I might just get a public
apology.

As a trade -off for the unemployment
extension?

Whatever. That's not the kind of thing
the governor does.

Well, maybe you don't know the governor
as well as you think you do.

See you tonight.

Yeah, come in.

Governor, can I talk to you a minute?
Oh, sure, Benton. Thank you so much for

letting us have your apartment last
night. I'm sorry about your toe.

Well, that's not what I want to talk
about. Oh, is it the dirty glasses we

to clean up and we just forgot?

Well, no, it's about Senator Tyler.

I understand you invited him to the
meeting tonight?

Yeah, we want to patch up some political
fences.

Did you promise him a public apology?

I didn't promise.

I sort of indicated that during my
speech tonight that might be possible.

Well, what do you have to apologize for?

Betty did throw a drink on him.

Two drinks for that matter, but I still
don't see what you have to apologize

for. Is he going to apologize to her for
the things he said? Betty doesn't

expect an apology. The senator does.

I don't believe I'm hearing all this.

Neither do I.

Betty, I didn't know you were there.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize to me, Gene,
and you don't have to apologize for me.

Wait just a minute, Betty. I don't think
you understand.

If I felt I owed the senator an apology,
I'd have done it myself.

Well, I should be getting back to my
office.

Wait a minute.

Benson, you brought this whole thing up.
Now you tell her she's got it all

wrong. Well, I'm not telling her
anything. That's why she's wearing that

belt.

No, Gene.

You've got it all wrong.

Stay around, Vincent.

Goodbye, Gene.

I know what you're thinking.

I'm not thinking anything.

You think I'm weak, don't you?

What difference does it make what I
think? It makes a great deal of

to me. As a friend, I want you to tell
me what you think. All right, I think

you've blown it.

You've let Clayton Tyler and some stupid
gossip column dictate your feelings

about Betty. I don't think that's right.
Oh, is that so? You know what your

problem is, Benson? You don't know when
to keep your nose out of other people's

business.

But I do know when to get my tail out of
the ringer.

She's out of my life, Benson.

Let's not talk about that, Governor.

I can't even eat.

Every time I open the refrigerator, I
see Betty's face.

We'll send out for pizza.

How do you want me to introduce you?

Let's face it, Benson.

I'm a spineless weakling. Ladies and
gentlemen, a spineless weakling.

It's time to introduce the Governor.

Are you ready?

Why not?

Okay, ladies and gentlemen.

If I could have your attention for a
moment, please. It is now my great

to introduce our keynote speaker for the
evening, the governor of the great

states.

Stall. I'll be right back.

Hold it. Where are you going?

I remember the first day I met the
governor.

He was just beginning his term.

The legislature was challenging him.

The press was raking him over the coals.

The mood throughout the land, to say the
least, was somber. As I entered his

office, it was a... But

enough of this chit -chat about the
governor.

Let's get down to some cold, hard,
personal details.

He's six foot three.

enjoys fishing, and he's a Sagittarius.

You're boring.

Where's the governor?

The chair recognizes Senator Tyler.

I'm sure you all recognize him. He's the
balding boob in the bow tie.

I didn't come here to be insulted. Where
do you usually go?

It would be nice to me if you expect my
cooperation.

I don't expect your cooperation. Nobody
expects your cooperation because you are

an uncooperative little snot who only
cares about his own importance.

I assure you, Senator Benson's opinion
is entirely his own.

This is more than I can say for you.

You're right, he's a snot.

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen. My
pleasure to introduce a man of honor,

Governor Gene Gatlin. Thank you, Doctor.

Now, before I begin, I would like to
introduce my... Well, my girlfriend,

I guess.

Betty Braxton.

Senator Tyler, would you join us at the
podium?

My pleasure.

Senator Tyler came here this evening
expecting a public apology.

I think this is the perfect time for it.

Senator, would you apologize to Betty or
should I get her a glass of punch?

You're not getting any apology from me.

Oh, yeah?

Well, as my colleague Benson Dubois
would say, what would you say, Benson?

This is the kind of stunt that's going
to cost you my support.

Senator...

Your support is about as welcome as a
skunk in a space shuttle.
