kept expanding until it filled the
entire building.

They called out the Army, the Air Force.
No one could stop me. Ted Cobble tried

to interview me and I ate him.

You all want to talk about weird dreams.
I had a crazy one last night. Good

morning, all. Jim, you got to hear this.
It's hilarious.

You all know that new network publicity
guy we met the other day, Rick?

Okay.

So in this dream, I'm giving him a tour
of Washington.

All of a sudden, he gets really excited
and he starts pointing at the Washington

Monument. The next thing I know, we're
racing each other up the stairs, running

faster and faster until we just shoot
right out the top.

You shot out of the Washington Monument.

Like we were blown out of a cannon. It
was like... And then, instead of

we started to float all the way down to
the reflecting pool. And when we hit the

water, Rick turns into a dolphin.

We swam, we...

I don't know how to say this, but you've
just described the classic homoerotic

dream.

Get out of here!

Miles had a sex dream about another man?

I did not!

Miles, really, there's nothing to be
embarrassed about. Lots of people have

homoerotic dreams. Have you? Are you
kidding?

What about you, Corky? No. Murphy?

Not that I can remember, Jim.

Absolutely not. I've never had a dream
in my entire life.

Jim, everybody dreams.

Well, I don't. Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have work to do.

And, Miles, I'm going to consider this
whole unfortunate incident the result of

that bad tuna salad you ate yesterday.

I suggest we all do the same.

Miles, Miles, I wouldn't worry about
this. There is a logical explanation for

all dreams. Now...

You probably picked up on the fact that
Rick was gay, and then your

subconscious... What are you saying?
Wait a minute. Rick's not gay?

Well, of course he is. Come on, Rick. He
was standing right next to me when we

met him. Don't tell me you didn't notice
anything.

Well, like what? Was he wearing a T
-shirt with a picture of a woman on it

a big red line through it?

Wait a minute.

Did I say the Washington Monument?

I meant a monument in Washington, but
not a tall, pointy one.

Murph, I'm not making any value
judgments here. I mean, I don't care

is gay, but he is gay.

Based on what? The Frank Fontana gay -o
-meter?

All right, let's start with the watch.
Worn on the inside of the wrist and the

hair, mooshed. And did you happen to
notice the color coordination between

tie and the socks?

Honestly, Frank, I've never heard such
nonsense in my life.

You can't tell if someone's gay from
things like that.

If you want to find out...

You can't deny the fact that Rick was
attracted to me. Oh, please. You said

same thing at the Kennedy Center when
you met Jessica Tandy.

You know, now that I think about it, it
might have been the Jefferson Memorial.

Frank, Rick is not gay. How do I know?
Because I'm a woman. We can always tell.

In fact, I have such confidence in my
intuition that I will stake my entire

reputation as a female on it. Oh, you're
on. And if I'm wrong, I'll, uh, what,

what? I'll go down to the lobby and do
my impression of Root Gorge.

Oh, this is going to be so easy.

Yup, it was definitely the Jefferson
Memorial.

A round building, sort of breast
-shaped.

Guess I have only one thing on my mind,
huh?

Tell you the truth, Murphy, I've been so
busy, I haven't even had a chance to

see anything yet.

Not even the Washington Monument?

Well, we've got to get you out on a
tour, don't we, Miles?

Oh, yeah, you bet.

Uh, so, uh, where'd you pick up that at
the newsstand? Oh, how beautiful.

You get this, don't you, Murph?

Anything interesting in here? I myself
have never read one.

They've got some terrific decorating
ideas. And since all I've got right now

a bed, a television, and a lamp I carry
with me from room to room, I figured I

could use the help.

Hey, what's this? Road and track.

So you're one of those guys who's really
into cars, huh?

Only one car.

59 Corvette.

You know, it's a good thing I have a job
where I spend all my time hunting down

spare parts.

You have an old Corvette?

So does Frank.

Hey, Frank, looks like you guys have
something in common.

It's an addiction, isn't it, Frank?

But it keeps me busy on the weekends now
that the football season's over.

So, uh, you're into football, huh?

Oh, I know what you're thinking.

Someone else to get into our betting
pool. We bet on all kinds of stuff,

although he usually loses.

Don't you, Ruth?

You know, actually, I've been...

in this betting thing, Merle. I think
we've been doing too much of it lately.

a matter of fact, I want to cancel our
last bet.

Frank, you can't get out if a bet one
sure is.

Oh, she's right, Frank.

What did you bet on? Whoa, look at the
time.

I don't think he's going to think Rick
got lost on his way to work.

You know what? You're right. Miles, take
a look at these, okay? These are the

ideas for new promos, all right? I want
to talk to you about them when you have

a chance.

Absolutely. As soon as my schedule
clears up. Great.

Oh!

You got something on your

You people have embarrassed us all.

Prying into a man's life like that. What
have you got to say for yourselves?

Get back.

You know, Lyle, now that I've seen Rick
again, I can

understand why you find him attractive.

I don't find him attractive.

It was just a dream.

Uh -huh.

Oh, please.

I am definitely not gay. And there are
plenty of women who can attest to that.

Plenty.

All the way back to Hanukkah, 1972, and
a game of spin the dreidel in Linda

Nussbaum's basement.

It's still right for me.

Listen, if I had any reason to spend
even one more minute of my life thinking

about this...

I see a professional.

Well, your dream could be interpreted as
a manifestation of anxiety about the

direction your life is headed. Now, the
young man in your dream is a network

representative, a representative of the
very place that creates anxiety for you.

Now, by frolicking with him, you, in a
sense, turn the network into something

friendly and untraceable. It's actually
a very healthy way of coping.

Or the dream could be an indication
you're gay.

So, when you shot out of the Washington
Monument, a classic phallic symbol, and

landed in the reflecting pool, which of
course suggests female qualities, water,

womb, the mother, you could have been
trying to reject the aggressive

of a male -dominated society.

All in all, it's a positive sign of your
desire to... grow as a spiritual being

or the dream could be an indication
you're gay

a reflecting pool by definition would be
a place where one could see oneself

by diving into it you were attempting to
merge with those parts of yourself

which you thought you had lost so we
might interpret the dream as a desire to

integrate all aspects of your
personality yeah yeah or it means i'm

Now, why would you say that?

Frank, let me ask you something.

You've been in therapy for a long time,
haven't you? Not really. 13 or 14 years.

It sounds to me like this field of
therapy is full of experts who don't

what they're talking about. I mean, if a
therapist was attempting to say...

Analyze a dream. Oh, Miles, you're not
still thinking about that dream, are

Look, the other day, I was just playing
armchair analyst. Really, if you want to

know what it means, you should go and
talk to a professional.

I've been to a professional, Frank.

In the last five days, I've been to six
of them.

And I now know conclusively that I love
my mother, hate my father, hate my

mother, love my father, have a fear of
success, a fear of failure, and at the

age of five, either saw my Uncle Max
make love to my Aunt Sarah or eat a

with his hands.

all agreed on is that the Washington
Monument is a phallic symbol and I might

gay.

They said that?

Totally ridiculous, isn't it? You pay
good money for professional help.

Then again, I'm 30 years old, Frank.

I've yet to have any kind of a
committed, stable relationship with a

That doesn't mean anything. I'm 40 and I
haven't had one.

But when I'm with a woman, even Audrey,
I feel like I have to play a role that's

not me.

That's happened to me plenty of times.

And all the while, I'm afraid that if I
show the real me, she'll be disgusted.

Tell me about it.

But you get me into a game of football
with the guys and I'm totally relaxed.

We're chasing each other around,
slapping each other on the butt. I'm

feel good.

I gotta go call my therapist.

Frank, Frank, I have some amazing news.
Get out of my way, Jim.

Look, you have to hear this.

I had a dream last night.

My first dream in 55 years.

And just like your dream, it involved a
fascinating experience with another man.

Really, Jim? You had one too?

He was a salesman in the shoe department
at Hatt's.

I told him to bring me a pair of black
wingtips.

But when he returned, I noticed with
dismay the shoes he was carrying were

brown. I told him I had no interest in
brown. I wanted black.

Without saying a word, he returned to
the stockroom and brought me what I'd

asked for.

I paid for them and left the store.

Yeah? What happened then?

Nothing. I woke up.

I can't believe this.

I tell you the deepest part of my
psyche, and you're telling me a dream

getting lousy service at Hex?

Sorry we didn't strip down to our shorts
and smear each other with boot cream,

but that's still a reason to be
insulting.

And I'm proud of my dream.

Mark! Oh, Mark! I have to tell you about
a remarkable dream I had last night. I

was in the shoe department.

You know it?

Miles!

There you are.

I've been thinking about your sexual
situation, and I have a suggestion.

There is no situation. It was a dream
about sightseeing, that's all.

Miles, I know this must be a confusing
time for you, but I... I think it's

better to face something head on than to
just run away from it.

That's why I think you should go see my
minister.

Corky, I'm Jewish.

Why would I go see a minister?

Because he's gay.

You have a gay minister?

Yeah, and I found he offers the most
wonderful guidance.

I really think you should talk to him,
Miles.

Would it make you feel uncomfortable if
I had the two of you over for dinner?

Oh, gee, Corky, I... Nothing big.

Just the four of us.

And if he can't offer you any peace of
mind, maybe you'll get it off.

What?

I just want you to be happy.

Would you excuse me for a moment?

You can let me know tomorrow.

Burpee, I have to talk to you.

Now, tell me, if this is about my
expense... Burpee?

I have to ask you something, and I don't
know how to do it.

I want you to look at me.

From your perspective, as a member of
the female persuasion, do you see a

regular guy, or do you see someone who,
deep down inside, wants to frolic with a

dolphin?

Miles, you are really a classic.

You get a hangnail, it's gangrene. You
get a headache, it's a tumor.

You have a dream about Flipper, and
you're gay.

I can't help it.

Dreams are the subconscious.

Sometimes they force you to look at
things you'd rather not look at.

What if you had the same dream, only it
was you and Vicki in accounting?

I'd never pick Vicki. She wears sweater
sets. I hate sweater sets.

Murphy, I'm serious about this.

All right, all right, I can see that.

Okay, let's assume, just for the sake of
argument, that you are gay.

What would that change?

As far as I'm concerned, nothing.

You'd still be a brilliant producer, and
as much as you drive me crazy, we'd

still be friends.

I don't know.

I've spent my entire life looking at
myself in a certain way, and now I

realize I might be somebody completely
different.

I met Rick once, and I had a dream about
him. What's going to happen when we

work together all the time?

One day I'll find myself picking the
lint off his jacket. The next thing you

know, we're ordering sconces for our
living room.

I really wish there was something I
could do to help, but I have to tell you

at a loss here.

Actually, there is something you can do.
What?

Look sexy.

Excuse me? I still find women
attractive. I know I do.

Your hair.

What, your lips? No!

Work with me here, Murphy. This is
ridiculous.

Oh, you're right.

I can't get turned on by you. You're as
big as a house. Hey!

Maybe I'll ask Rita in the art
department.

She's hot.

Huh. God, listen to me. Hot.

Now I'm talking like a contestant on
studs.

Oh, I'm a very centered person.

So happy to be me right now.

Thanks for the talk, Murphy.

Let's do it again sometime.

Miles, terrific.

I've been looking for you. You were?
Looking for me?

Why would you be looking for me? Because
it's been four days and we still

haven't talked about those promos. Now I
checked with your secretary and you're

free for lunch. So come on, I'm buying.

as we stress experience, continuity, and
quality.

You know, maybe a series of shots of
your anchors over the years with some of

their biggest stories.

Good, good. I like it. Well, how about
that? Bullseye on the first one.

So, no sense in wasting an hour of our
valuable time. Wait a minute. That's

one idea. I've got five more.

Well, hey, when you've hit gold on your
first try, there's no sense in digging

somewhere else. Now, if you want to stay
for lunch, order anything you want. You

tell Phil it's on me.

Whoa, whoa, Miles.

Enough. Look,

I'm not an idiot.

You've been avoiding me for days, and
when I finally corner you, you've got

foot out the door.

Now, the problem can't be with my work
because you don't know it yet, so that

means it's got to be me.

You? I have no problem with you. Why
would I have a problem with you? Because

I'm gay.

You are?

Oh, I can't say it. That completely
slipped my mind.

No, I have no problem with you being
gay. I'm completely comfortable with it.

Phil? Phil?

Over here.

Hold your horses, Miles.

I'll clear this away and be back in a
minute. Phil, I want you to meet Rick,

new publicist. A real interesting guy.
Phil's interesting, too. Phil, join us.

You and Rick can have a real interesting
conversation.

Miles, I gotta wait for something with
the flu and the Supreme Court's tied up

two booze trying to convince Clarence
Thomas the new guy always picks up the

check. So nice to meet you, Rick.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! I told you guys no
gavels on the table!

Look, Miles, we've gotta talk about
this.

Now, whether you admit it or not, you've
got a problem with me.

I spent a lot of years pretending I was
someone else because I was afraid.

Afraid of all the whispers, afraid of
losing my job.

But when you've been to as many funerals
as I have lately, you realize life is

too valuable to spend hiding in a
closet.

So you're going to have to deal with me
as I am because I'm not going to change.

I'm sorry, Rick.

I haven't been honest.

You were right. I am uncomfortable.

But it's not because of who you are.

Because I've been thinking a lot lately
about... who I am.

You.

Are you kidding?

Oh, man, no wonder you're stressed out.
Look, Miles, I want you to know that I

understand what you're going through.
You know, I came out kind of late, too.

Oh, hey, I'm not out yet. I'm in. Weigh
in.

It's okay. I mean, I didn't mean to push
you.

Believe me, I fought it for a long time
myself.

I tried to ignore it.

And when that didn't work, I went to a
shrink.

And when I didn't like what he said, I
went to another one. And then another

one. I was a bastard.

You're driving my friends crazy.

Oh, God.

Look, Miles, I don't want to pry, but I
just hope that whatever

recent experience you had, you made sure
it was safe.

Oh, don't worry.

It was completely safe.

I was alone at the time.

I think I just missed something here.

All right.

I'll tell you.

I had a dream.

It involved me, a man I work with, and a
certain Washington

landmark.

I can't say anything more, except that
frolicking was involved.

Wait a minute. Are you saying that you
think you're gay because you had a

I mean, come on, Miles. There's got to
be something more than that.

Like what?

Well, an attraction to other men might
help.

Okay.

Look around the bar, okay? Is there any
man here that you find attractive?

Not really.

Actually, neither do I. Okay, forget
that.

Is there any man anywhere that you find
attractive?

I've always wanted to be Kevin Costner.
Does that count?

You're not getting it.

If you want to be with Kevin Costner,
then it counts.

Do you want to be with Devin Coffey?

Oh, Miles.

You know, contrary to public opinion,
gay men do not spend all their time

fantasizing about other men. I mean, do
you have sexual thoughts about every

woman in your office?

Well, yeah.

Okay. Let me see if I, you know, got
this right.

You're not attracted to men. You are
attracted to women.

And so far, your total gay experience
consists of one dream?

Miles, I'm not sure how to tell you
this, but don't expect to be homecoming

queen in next year's gay pride parade.

Oh, man.

You must think I'm such an idiot.

It's okay.

You know, sexuality can be pretty
complicated, especially with the

get. You know, you do a TV show with two
men having a meaningful conversation in

bed, and people go nuts.

where you do a show with two guys
tearing each other up with machine guns,

same people watch it at dinner with
their kids.

It still doesn't accuse the way I acted.
Look.

The card's on the table.

The guy in my dream was you.

And I was afraid that if we spent any
time together, something might

happen.

It's ridiculous, isn't it?

It's hysterical.

And you're not even my doctor.

Why not?

Do you really care?

No.

You're right.

You're right.

What do you say we order and get back to
work?

Sounds great.

One question before we do.

My friend Jeff thinks that somebody on
your staff is really attractive.

Do you think maybe you could help me set
something up?

I'll try. Who is it?

Frank.

Frank?

Frank's not gay.
