O -P -R -A -H.

Oprah.

Double letter, triple word score.

Wait, wait, wait.

I challenge that. How can you challenge
that? It's Oprah.

Yes, which is a proper name.

No, it isn't. It's a philosophy. It's an
attitude. It's a way of life.

72 points.

I win. You owe me six bucks.

Where's your fanny pack?

You know, this is hardly the way... Ask
her.

Whenever she gets like this, you just
pick your three favorite movies, you sit

back, you smile, and you watch them in
your head.

This week I'm showing Thunderball,
Capricorn One, and Slapshot.

Does it work?

Six dollars.

I'm going to Neiman's and you just paid
for the valet.

I am big.

It's the movies that have gotten small.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

3 -1 -2?

Who do I know in Chicago?

Roy's mother.

Not today.

Hello? Hello. Is Bette there, please?

Oh, I am sorry, Miss Bette. She is not
home.

All right. Did you just tell her Oprah
Winfrey called?

Oh. Oh, hold on. Just a second. I think
I hear her now.

Oh, Miss Bette. Oh, there you are. Oh,
you look so beautiful today.

Telephone. Thank you, Coco.

Hello? Bet.

Oprah. Hi, Oprah. How are you?

Fine.

Busy, busy. You know how that is.
Really? Please. I'm working on at least

projects here myself.

Well, listen.

We're going to be bringing our show out
there the first week in October.

Oh, can I get a ticket?

Actually, I was hoping you'd be on.

Really? Yeah, you see, my book club is
going to be discussing this fabulous new

novel, Tropical Rain. It has a great
Hawaiian theme, and I know what a great

reader you are. So I thought it might
just be fun if you'd come on and be a

of our discussion group.

I'd be delighted.

Wonderful. We tape October 1st, so I
will make sure you get a copy today.

Okay, wonderful. I'll read it as soon as
I get it.

Oh, hang on a second, Oprah.

Hello?

Oprah, hang on. It's Roy's mom.

I am sorry, Miss Betty. She is not here
right now.

Bet. It's still me.

Oh.

Thank you.

Oh, it's from Oprah.

I'm going to be on her book club next
month. Check your local listings.

I can't talk about it now.

I'll see you later.

extra, I tell you, the woman is a
genius.

Ashley, these are pretty good. Are you
kidding? They're great.

Listen, honey, healthy eating is all
about commitment.

But, Con, how come I don't have my own
magazine?

Oh, yeah, that'd be a good idea.

I'm serious.

I could call a fee.

And in it, I could discuss things like,
oh, I don't know, personal affirmations,

emotional eating, my relationship with
Stedman.

Okay, we can get going on that right
after we break ground for your theme

Look, all I'm saying is we're not living
up to my full potential. Look at this

woman. Look at her. She has a talk show.
She produces.

She sets up endowments and scholarships.
She's a power. She's a force. Why can't

I be a force?

Why don't you start at the perfume and
work your way up?

Morning. Hey.

All right, I got my seminar this
morning.

Then I got to go back to my office. Roy,
would you read a magazine called Bee?

Yeah, I like insects.

It would be about me.

Oh, I guess.

But I think you're really on to
something with that bug magazine.

Okay, so I'll pick you up at 2 .30.
Right.

Where are we going?

The funeral.

Right. Ooh, who died?

James Hibbert. Oh, and he would be? The
oldest trustee at the university. Oh,

I'm sorry.

Oh, I didn't really know him. This is a
business funeral, not a pleasure

funeral. Okay, I'll see you later.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Kiss Connie.

Why? She's just standing there.

Bye.

Bye.

All right, if the funeral's at three,
you should still be able to get to the

taping by six. What taping? Oprah's Book
Club. Oh, that's tomorrow.

No, that's today. No, no, no, that's
tomorrow.

No, it's October 1st. Which is tomorrow.
Then what's today? September 31st.

Geez, haven't you been taking that
ginkgo I got you?

Honey, there's no September 31st.
Certainly there is. Say the poem.

What poem?

30 Days, Half November, April, June, and
November.

Well, that doesn't make any sense.

Huh. Look at that.

Well, no problem. I just have a few
appointments for you this morning. But I

made a whole bunch of appointments for
myself this morning. Well, honey, I gave

you an agenda for October 1st. But you
didn't give me one for September 31st.

There is no September 31st. I don't have
time to haggle over minutia. All right.

What would Oprah do in a situation like
this? Oprah wouldn't get into a

situation like this.

Okay. Okay. I got it. Okay, no problem.
I can handle this. Well, how? You can't

be in two places at the same time. Yes,
I can. It's right here in the magazine.

Page 174.

The art of multitasking.

I'll shoehorn a little here.

I'll piggyback a little bit there. I'll
just oprify my day.

Okay. What have you got on your list?
Music rehearsal with Oscar.

I have my personal trainer.

Phone interview with McCall. My shrink
appointment.

Lunch meeting at Spago with Mario
Orsini.

The deaf cellist?

Blind opera singer.

Oh. Oh, that's what I meant. Okay.

Volunteer cafeteria mom at Rose's
school. Hair, dentist, and I. I have to

some cats. What? I had to go to the
bathroom at the ASPCA. Don't ask.

Oh, I don't want to know. Look, why
don't I just cancel something? No, no,

It's time for me to start to fulfill my
potential. I can do this. Okay, honey.

Whatever. Just promise me you will be at
Oprah's studio by 6 o 'clock. I'll be

there. Okay.

Thank God you at least read the book.

I'm down on reading.

and that picture was the lowest point of
my entire life. My soul was screaming,

and there was nothing I could do.
Nothing.

Hold on a sec.

McCall's cover story.

Hello?

Oh.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, it's always nice to talk to someone
who enjoys my work.

What's wrong with me? Why am I so needy?

Oh, well, I'm so glad it showed, because
that picture was a joy to make.

Yeah, like the Spanish Inquisition. Only
the catering was worse.

Why do I always do this to myself?

Huh? Oh, no. Who cares about winning an
Oscar? I say it's an honor just to be

nominated.

Sharpen your pencil. We're going to the
dark side.

Can I have some French fries?

Grab an extra jello. Tell him it's on
me.

I don't like jello. You're holding up
the line, kid.

Here, learn a trade.

You're a bad volunteer.

Listen here, we're going to hell.

Where is he? We're going to hell.

Yoo -hoo, Mario, it's me, Bette. Here,
finish this chapter for me.

Buongiorno. Buongiorno.

How lovely to meet you again. And you.

Welcome to Spago.

Have you ever eaten here before?

No, no, but I have heard so much. Well,
I'm sorry our table isn't ready just

yet. Perhaps you'd like to wait at the
bar.

Oh, it is?

Oh, thank you, Charles.

Come on, people.

Hi, Denzel. How are you?

glass of wine at the start.

What an excellent idea.

You know, Oscar and Constance have been
talking, I know, about our collaborating

on a duet for my new holiday album.

Yes, yes, and I'm intrigued.

I must say, it would be a great coup for
me. Why don't we discuss business after

we order? Excellent idea.

We're ready.

Won't you tell us your specials today?

Our specials, yes. Well, may I recommend
our world -famous dark meat chicken

patty, served on a bed of tater tots,
which is a lovely, saucy meaty

dish.

And one of my personal favourites, a
long -breaded tubular thing on a stick.

thinking that perhaps we might
collaborate on one of the more

carols. Hi, Mom.

Oh, look.

It's my daughter.

Here. It's Foggle.

Hey, Rose. Where are you going to sit?
With the castle of Dawson's Creek.

Such a small town.

Just another page in my book.

Anyway, I was thinking about something
like Adeste Fidelis or... the little

drummer boy. Perhaps you have some
thoughts on the subject.

No, no, no. Please, go on. I'm
fascinated to just see how long you can

up.

Keep what up?

Attention, students.

The seventh -grade mathlete will now be
in Mrs.

Wilson's class at three sharp.

Would you like a cat?

The child stood on the lanai and watched
as the clouds conspired to bring the

rain into her life.

Oh, it's so moving.

It's a bit.

Keep reading.

Whether it would be a rain that would
wash clean the memory or simply a trail

sun... See?

I did it. I did it all. And in heel.

Where'd you get those, anyway?

Gift from my last picture. They only
gave out the sweatshirt.

And shoes, if you went back at night.

Anyway, see, just goes to show, there
really are 48 hours in every day.

Go ahead, admit it. I am the honky
Oprah.

Yes, yes, yes.

What about the book? I loved it. You've
read 20 pages. Three hours and 13

chapters to go.

Piece of cake.

You know, I'm going to do this
multitasking thing every day. That way,

time I'm dead, I'll be half as old as I
really am.

You already are.

Are you ready?

For four.

The funeral.

Oh, my God.

Is that still on?

What can I tell you, honey? They already
booked the hall.

Oh, honey, I can't go right now. I
can't. I'll go tomorrow.

I'll cry. I'll bring flowers.

I just can't go right now.

You promised to sing.

A time to be born and a time to die.

A time to plant.

And a time to reap.

And a time to every purpose under the
heaven.

And now, to conclude our service, we
will honor the memory of the dearly

departed with one of his favorite songs.

I know nothing can ever...

with you today, I want to introduce you
to the very talented author of Tropical

Rain, Amy Anawi.

Also joining us, a former school teacher
and now full -time mom, Lisa Crawley,

Carol Bidwell, who is a systems analyst,
and Buddy Volpe, who's a travel agent.

We have a very special guest with us
today. I'm so excited. She is a

reader and a dear, dear friend, the
divine Miss M.

So, Bette, let's begin with you.

Once I start, I'll never stop.

Give somebody else a chance.

So clearly the book had a profound
effect on you. Oh, yes.

As I'm sure it did on everyone here.

Laurie, Lisa, how do?

Well, I know what the book meant to me.

Yeah? What? Because you and I have
pretty much the same taste. Well, for

was the story of a young woman who
leaves the past behind and is able to

her own voice. What was it for you?
Well, for me...

It was the story of a young woman
finding her own voice and leaving the

behind.

Um, I don't know if I agree with that.

What do you mean you don't agree?

It's Oprah.

That first chapter just sets the tone.

Absolutely. It's as if you don't even
need to read the rest of the book.

Although... Although... By the time you
get to chapter nine.

Nine. Oh, my goodness. By the time that
hurricane struck, I had to reevaluate

everything that I'd read before. And I
was thinking, my goodness, Bette, what

would you have done in Florinda's
situation?

you how much I liked your pancakes?

No. Geez, what kind of a guest am I?
They were fabulous and very binding.

Thank you. Now, let's get back to Amy's
book.

Oprah, look, I don't want to tell you
how to do your job, but if we keep

about this book, we're going to ruin it
for everybody out there.

I'm sure Carol here has plenty of
wonderful stories about being a systems

analyst, huh?

Not really.

Hey, will there be a Wednesday?

days with maury because that last one
was tremendous beth yeah did you even

read this book you sent it to me didn't
you yes okay then how did the book touch

you deeply which character all of them
even the uncle except him he was my

favorite too the twist surprising the
end satisfying well you know there are

some people who think that florinda's
final decision

is a compromise between the pain of the
past and the promise of the future.

Elaborate.

Did you know there was no September
31st?

Yes, I did.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

I'm going to go now.

Maybe you should.

I really did like the pancakes, though.

You're not getting a hug today.

It took me seven years to write that
book.

Seven years?

You really got to budget your time
better.

No, Beth, I'm not mad at you.

I promise.

Yes, there's a package for me here on my
desk.

All right, all right, we'll get together
soon.

I don't know.

Soon. I'm free November 31st.
