All language subtitles for Spin City - 1x18 - Snowbound.DVD.SAiNTS.en

First of all, I disagree
with your school's decision

to expel you over this.

Even though you're a
student at a city university,

neither I nor the Mayor

have any jurisdiction
over what ultimately

becomes a question
of your first amendment rights.

So I urge you to take
it up at a federal level.

I'm sorry. We just can't help you here.

So...

cold outside, huh ?

Could you describe
him again ?

He was naked.

That's it ?

No height, weight,
hair color ?

He was blond.

He was
a natural blond.

Can you believe
the snow out there ?

This morning,
I tried to take

my cat out
for a walk. Right ?

Buttons is pulling
on the leash so hard,

I could hardly
get him from the building.

Ok, let's forget for a second
that Paul actually walks his cat.

There's a kernel of relevance
in what he has to say.

The finest weathermen
in the city say

we're gonna get between 1
and 125 inches of snow today.

You know, if you're in an avalanche,

you're supposed to hunch
over and create an air pocket.

That's great, James. We're
gonna post that on fifth avenue.

Right next
to the tsunami warnings.

Don't worry, James.
If it weren't for you,

I wouldn't know that if attacked by
a bear, I should avoid eye contact.

Oh, yeah, they get nervous if you stare.

Ok, we gotta process
these overtime forms

and get them over to the
department of transportation

so we can get the plows
out in the streets in time.

Carter, Stewart,
who wants to handle this ?

He does.
He does.

Congratulations,
we have a tie.

Nikki, you're in charge
of the TLC.

Oh, that's sweet.

We could use a little more
of that around here.

That's taxi and limousine
commission, you dip.

Thank you for
proving my point.

Mike, building services needs
your permission to salt the steps.

Tell 'em they got it.

If there's a fire, they should
feel free to put that out, too.

Oh, and there's
a young woman

coming upstairs
to see you.

This is the middle of a
potential crisis situation.

This is priority one right
now. Nothing else matters.

Great
googly moogly !

HI, Mike.

I suppose we could
take a quick time out.

Shelly McCrory.

I can't believe I haven't
seen you since high school.

Shelly...

McCrory.

Right again.

I had the...
the biggest...

crush on you
in high school.

And I... just never
did anything about it.

If you had a thing for me,

why go out with Julie
MacCallum senior year ?

Because her locker
was next to yours.

And she put out.

Well, guess what, Mike.

Everything you were
thinking about me,

I was thinking the exact
same things about you.

Oh, I doubt it.

It's too bad we never
went out on a date.

Actually, we went
out on lots of them.

You, uh... you
just didn't know it.

Remember
that homecoming game ?

We sat next to each other
in the bleachers.

Mike, I was
with my boyfriend.

Was that as uncomfortable
for you as it was for me ?

Well, since
you're in town now,

there's no reason
we couldn't get together.

Well, actually, I'm
just here for the night.

I turned 30 a couple
of months ago,

and, uh...
it occurred to me,

my whole life, it's been nothing but

missed opportunities.
You know ?

So I figured,
what the hell,

and I quit my job,
I gave up my apartment,

and I am
moving to Paris.

My plane leaves
tomorrow morning.

Well, that's exciting.

Just when I had stopped
obsessing about you.

Thanks for dropping by.

Well, you know just because
I'm leaving tomorrow morning

doesn't mean that
we can't get together...

tonight.

You know, you're right. You're right.

Listen, why don't I
take you out to dinner ?

Anyplace.
You name it.

I was thinking...
room service ?

I love that place.

Mike, I've come up
with what I think

is a cohesive theme
for our storm broadcast.

Blizzard watch '97.

That's brilliant.

You should put in
for overtime this week.

James, I need you to
write the Mayor's copy.

Just basic stuff, ok ? Keep the
avalanche safety tips to a minimum.

James ?

I'm sorry, Mike,
I'm just a little nervous.

I haven't spent
a lot of time in here.

I don't want to put
my foot in my mouth.

Don't worry, you won't.

Who's this drunken
old man with the Mayor ?

That's his mom.

So, we all
ready in here ?

Yes, sir, we are.

This is the command
center for...

blizzard watch '97 !

Sorry, sir.

As you see, sir, I leave you
in the most capable hands.

Now, Mr. Mayor.
Yeah.

When speaking into a radio
microphone, I like to keep my lips

just a comfortable
distance from the device.

Really, Paul ?

I usually like to swallow
the microphone whole

and then talk.

Hey there, citizens.

Ooh.

Hey there, citizens.

- Hey there.
- Hey there.

* hey there *

* you with the stars
in your eyes *

* love ! Never made... *

sir. Sir.

What ?

Sir, we're live.

And now, here's the Mayor.

Why is this
not working ?

I don't suppose you have
change for a dollar ?

Sorry.

What are
you looking at ?

Nothing.

Not that it's nothing.

It's just that, well...

you must be
very proud.

Damn this thing !

Gimme your money.

This hallway
light is out, too.

Maybe a fuse
is blown.

I'll get you your Mr. Goodbar, or...

I want a zagnut.

Apparently, you
want a Mr. Goodbar.

You talk to human services
about extra shelters ?

Suspended alternate side
of the street parking ?

We've done everything
on your list.

Not quite everything.

Put on your mittens.

Yes.

Well, my work here is done.

Good night, everybody.

Good night, Mike.

Have fun catching up
with your friend.

All right, do I detect
a note of sarcasm there ?

Come on. Let's hear
what you have to say.

She's saying
you could not be

in more of a hurry
to go have sex.

Well, I never.

I mean, I am shocked.

Claudia, you know me. Do I
seem like that kind of guy ?

I just came by
to say hi to Paul.

Come on, you're among
friends. Out with it.

Mmm, I think you're looking
to make a bootie call.

We don't have
time for this.

We have to fax the
overtime authorization

for the snow plow
guys.

That'll take 5 seconds.
What are you talking about ?

I don't want to be down here
in this boiler room

trying to fix a fuse because
you want a damn zagnut.

I still want a zagnut.

Shut up !

It's got a crispy
nougat center.

Just flip
the switch.

I can't get it
open.

Let me. Move, move.

Go ahead,
you control freak.

This should
be simple.

Here. Use this
to pry it open.

Where'd
you get this ?

Um...

under the door.

So cold.

No cabs.

You were really
out there for an hour ?

I don't know. It seemed like an hour.

I think
my watch stopped.

And now it's
frozen to my head.

Help me.

Help me.

Careful.

Aahhh !

Why aren't the streets plowed, Janelle ?

Where the hell
are Stewart and carter ?

We must have plows,
Janelle.

No plows, no streets.
No streets, no cabs.

You want me
to call someone ?

That would be nice.

With that woman
waiting for you,

I'm surprised you didn't
tunnel your way to a subway.

I tried.

I got a couple
of hundred yards.

I couldn't feel the
lower half of my body.

I figured, you know,

what's the point ?

I'm glad you're here.

A large section
of Brooklyn

just lost power.

Claudia's helping us
with the calls.

Uh, no, I'm sorry.

I don't got
"no freaking idea"

how long the lights
will be out.

Conditions as they are,

I'm restricting transportation
to emergency vehicles only.

Hang the sign out, Mike.
New York city is closed.

No, no ! Sir,
you can't do that !

Give me one good reason.

The children, sir.

What children ?

The children
in all of us.

It's done, Mike.
We're stuck here for now !

Well, I don't suppose
it could get any worse.

Shelly called. She wants you to know she's
curled up in front of a big, cozy fire.

Was that the guy ?

I don't know.

I just saw him
from the back.

Morse code.
Brilliant.

Maybe the coast guard will come down

and rescue us.

Well, your idea to
crank the heat up to 150

didn't exactly bring people
flocking down here.

I can't

take this anymore.
I'm turning it off.

Great ! What are you
gonna do now ?

Cut me some slack !
I'm dying over here.

Well, take off
the wool suit.

Oh, yeah, right.

What are you, 8 ?

I promise
not to watch.

All right, then.

* da da da da ! *

* boom boom boom *

stop it ! You're making me uncomfortable !

Whatever it takes to get you
to drive the plows,

I authorize it.

Just saddle up.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.

Yes ! Ladies and gentlemen,
put on your name tags,

New York city
is open for business.

Whew !

And what
are you doing ?

I'm getting
some coffee.

We're snowed in.

What are you gonna do,
throw me out ?

Give me a cup
of that, will you ?

Cream and sugar ?

Yeah. I'll
stir it myself.

Damn ! It is hot
in here !

You know, some people
pay a lot of money for this.

You know,
I'm totally comfortable.

The human body is
remarkably self-regulating.

Take a hike,
you nudist crackpot.

I'm gonna announce the
school closings for tomorrow.

All of them.

So, who's your favorite
Mayor, huh, kids ?

And you high-schoolers,
let's remember that

come election time.

That's very funny.

Thank you.
Thank you.

You know...

this storm reminds me
of when I was a boy.

Uh, no, it doesn't.

It was December,
1955.

I was rushing out
to meet up with my playmates,

and my mother told me
to shovel the walk

so that the postman
wouldn't slip.

God, I resented her.

Yeah. No, no.

Of course
I'm still coming.

All the emergencies
are taken care of.

It's just
a waiting game now.

Yeah. Oh, hey, you
forgot your shopping bag.

It's a nice scarf.

It's not ?

Nikki.

Go !

I'll be there
in 15 minutes.

Promise you'll wear
your beeper at all times.

I'll tie it
to my wrist.

Mike, that's not
your coat.

I don't care.

I think I hear my Pauly
on the radio.

James, I can't take
this anymore.

Thank goodness you went
to the bathroom.

The Mayor
and his stories ! Sheesh !

The man could bore his way
through sheetrock.

Paul, we're still
on the air.

Oh, no !

No !

Bummer for Pauly.

Mike, you can't leave. Help him !

This job
is Paul's life.

It's everything to him.
If he loses it,

he'll be stripped of
his pride, his dignity.

Mike, he'll be a broken, empty,
hollowed out shell of a man !

Claudia.

That's a worst-case
scenario.

Ahh.

Congratulations,
Stewart.

You've done it.

You are now officially
the worst guy ever

to be stuck
in a room with.

Ha ! Meet my parents !

No, thanks. I've already met my own.

A little family tension

from the most sensitive
man on the planet ?

Oh, it's mostly
my dad.

Wait a minute.

Are we relating ?

We'll deny it later.

Go ahead, talk
about your father.

I'm here for you.

I'll keep trying
to attract attention.

What is that,
the water pressure ?

All right, get utilities
on the phone.

Find out what's going on
with the water pressure.

I flushed a toilet
in the men's room.

I almost got sucked to
the center of the earth.

What are you doing flushing the
toilet while you're sitting down ?

Stay out of
my personal life.

Where the hell
is Paul ?

I can't get out of here
till this thing is settled.

Shelly's flight
leaves in six hours.

Are the airports
still closed ?

Runways will
be open by dawn.

Have the fire department
open the hoses

and freeze those babies
back up.

You're proposing we shut
down a major airport ?

Hey, dinner, flowers,
shutting down airports.

Women appreciate
the little gestures.

Well, where
is he, Mike ?

I looked
everywhere, sir.

I even put a plate of ho-hos
in front of the air duct.

I think
he's gone awol.

Out there in the bitter cold. Ooh.

Let's hope he forgot
his jacket.

Sir, you're angry, you
have every reason to be.

But... look, it's late.
We're all tired.

The sooner
we get past this,

the sooner we can
finish up and go home.

Plus, Mike, aren't you
meeting that girl tonight ?

We're focusing on the
Mayor right now, James.

Paul ?

Honey, it's Claudia.

Shh. I'm hiding.

Ooh, are we playing
our little game ?

This is no game.

The Mayor's
got it out for me.

I heard what you said
on the radio.

It's not as bad
as you think.

You should find the Mayor and apologize.

No one ever solved
anything by hiding.

The Von Trapps did.

Honey, that was
a musical.

Based on a true story ?

Paul, please ? For me ?

Ok. All right. But...

does this mean that we've reached
that stage in our relationship

where I have to do
whatever you ask ?

Honey, we got
to that stage

the second I agreed
to go out with you.

Paul ?

Sorry. I didn't realize anybody was...

naked in here.

Stay. I'm just reading
the paper.

Here. Sports page ?

No, no. You go ahead
and wear that.

Listen, I am not one of
those seventies hipsters

who's trying to act out
some exhibitionist fantasy.

So then
it's laundry day ?

Think about the power
of nudity.

No fashion, no shopping
malls, no supermodels.

Ridding the world of supermodels.
I could get on that bus.

No shame
about your body,

no sexual hang-ups.

No guys asking you out just
because they want to see you naked.

Are you with me ?
I am !

We've been oppressed
too long ! Yes, we have !

Take your clothes off.

Not a chance.

Sir, you're on
in 30 seconds.

Ok.

Sir, this is Pauly
we're talking about.

Should it have
happened ? No.

Could it happen
again ?

You betcha.

Mr. Mayor ?

Mr. Mayor, there
is nothing I could say

to undo what I said, so I just want
to say that I said it, and I'm sorry.

Work on that
a long time, did you ?

It may not be
poetry, sir,

but it is
from the heart.

Good morning,
citizens.

Oh, good news.
Power has been restored

to all affected areas
of Brooklyn,

and the subways
will be up and running

by morning rush hour.

Now, earlier, most of you
probably heard some comments

made by my press secretary,
Paul Lassiter.

I'd like to take this opportunity
to assure you that I...

took no offense.

Good night,
New York.

In fact, Paul is with me
right here now.

Say hi
to the folks, Paul.

Hi.

This is radio, Lassiter.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Hello, everybody.

Yes, come on,
sit down.

God knows we kid each
other around the office.

- We do ?
- Yeah.

Sure. I can hardly
count the number of times

that you've stuck your foot in
your mouth up on that podium.

It's a thousand if it's one, sir. Yeah.

And I'm sure
we can both admit

that I do sometimes get a
little long-winded myself.

A little ? I could
strap you onto a balloon

and fly
around the world !

I should go
hide now.

Will you look at this.

Water !

Is it really true ?

Are we finally free ?

Yeah ?

Yeah, I was right.
They're down here.

Can't I see him
just for a minute ?

I'm sorry. No. I caused him
a lot of trouble last night.

He fell asleep
at his desk.

He's gonna stay asleep,
and that's the end.

But I really...
no buts. No buts.

You just go off to Paris.

I hear it's beautiful
this time of year.

Ok. Just do me a favor
and give him a kiss for me.

Oh, yeah, that is
exactly what I'll do.

Of course. Yeah. Will do.

Good night, buddy.

Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog.
