Mike, uh...

You said, "I love you. "

It's just hanging out there.

No, no, no.
No, it's not.

There.
It's all gone.

Do you, Mike?

Do you love me?

A little bit.

Look, Mike, I told you

I didn't want
a serious relationship.

I adore you, but...

I cannot make
a commitment to you.

Well, I can't believe
I'm saying this, but...

That's not enough for me.

Wait a second.
Am I getting dumped?

Yeah.

I love you that much.

This was my favorite dress.

Now it's my
just-got-dumped dress.

I can't wear this again.

Well, I was the dumper, right?

So-I guess I'm o. k.

I'd really hate it
if you disappeared

from my life right now, Mike.

Think you could
handle being my friend?

Oh, yeah, yeah.
I could handle that.

We could, uh-
go to a movie sometime.

Friends do that.
Dinner.

Friends do that, too.

Some sex.

Friends do that a lot.

Maybe even tonight.

Are you sure?

Oh, yeah.

Laurie, I just went through
a bad breakup, and, uh...

I could use a friend right now.

Good morning, everybody.

Good morning.

Janelle, this is not
how I like my coffee.

I know. It's how
I like my coffee.

I'm the mayor's assistant now.

So I guess you
make him coffee now.

He drinks tang.

I gotta get a new assistant.

Can I get it-please?

Go nuts, Paul.

They're sending over
possible replacements today.

I'll be happy to-
screen the applicants.

I'll be happy to...

Testify in the harassment suit.

Hey, Mike, you want to serve
stuffed mushrooms

or chicken fingers at the
mayor's fundraiser tonight?

Ooh.

Surprise me.

Here's what I'm thinking.

Half mushrooms, half fingers.

Genius.

Want to hear some good gossip?

No gossip during the morning meeting.
You know that.

But it is about
someone we work with.

Meeting adjourned.
Let's hear it.

A recently divorced mayor of new York...
I'm not naming names...

I know who it is.

Don't ruin it for me.

Has been seen in the company
of a young Lady.

All right. Whoa.
Stop right there.

First of all, the mayor just
finalized his divorce 2 weeks ago.

That would kill us.
Second of all...

Hey, everybody.

Look what I've got.

I can't believe I ran
into him in a restaurant.

You know he didn't say a word?

He just came up to the
table, took my hand,

and we danced all night long.

You know, that's funny, because
when I met him, same thing.

You are too precious.

Well, that's my job, advise
the mayor, oversee the staff,

and be precious.

James,

this is Jennifer.
This is the mayor's uh-niece.

Give her a quick tour
of city hall,

and put her
in a cab home pronto.

The mayor doesn't have
brothers or sisters.

A niece means
daughter of a sibling.

And pronto means fast.

He can't date her.
The tabloids would kill us.

Did you see that body?

Yes, I did.

And if I'm looking,
you know we're in trouble.

Isn't she beautiful?

The statue of liberty, sir?

Jennifer.

damn.

Ah-it's been 29 years
since I've had a first kiss.

What were you doing
29 years ago, Mike?

Breast-feeding, sir.

I feel like I'm walking on air.

You'll have to
excuse my exuberance,

but it's not easy meeting
women when you're the mayor.

It's not like I can go
where any normal single guy

would go to meet girls.

You know, pottery classes,
produce section,

Vietnam war rally.

Well, those are still
the big 3, sir.

I'm happy for you.
I really am.

It's just that when the public
sees a recently divorced man

running around
with a woman who is...

Let's just say,
for the sake of argument,

younger than him,

it might seem inappropriate.
You know?

They might even
jump to the conclusion

that he was seeing her
while he was still married.

I wish.

I could probably
figure this out.

It's my unusually clever way
of getting close to you.

Yeah? You know what?

If you were really clever,

you would have had me
tighten your cummerbund.

Damn.

Voila.

Wow.

I am really good-looking.

Do you think I'm with you
for your personality?

Laurie, if you remember,

you're not with me.

We broke up.

Yeah. Yeah, I know.

You dumped me.

I gotta tell you something.
I'm enjoying it.

You sure you don't want
to dump me once more

before your little fundraiser?

Unfortunately,
I don't have time for that.

I do, however,
have time... to dance.

You know,
I could do this forever.

Forever?

That's a big commitment.

I think I could go till
the end of the song.

What is it about you
and commitment?

You ever stop and think

maybe that might not
be up to you?

You can't control
how you feel about someone?

What happens
when you meet that guy

you just-you can't
get enough of,

that guy who just
knocks you off your feet?

Well, if that guy comes along,

I'll have to change my tune.

I'm-I'm sorry.

No, no. I didn't mean me.

I meant some guy in the future.

Future guy.

He'll pick you up
with his jet pack.

I don't know what to say.

Look, it's my fault. O.k.?

I mean, all this time I thought you
weren't ready to love someone,

and now I realize, you just...

You just don't love me.

Mike, um...

Don't feel sorry
for me. O.k.?

And don't look at me like that.

Don't feel sorry
and don't look at me.

Don't feel, don't look.

And don't go.

Mind if I get in?

Oh, no, sure.

You want to be careful, though.

The car seems to be
spinning uncontrollably.

Are you o. k., Mike?

Oh, yeah.

I was just sitting here
trying to figure out

why they call this a wet bar.

Well, there you go.

How are you doing?

I'm a little confused.

Me, too.

You're just bopping along,

and suddenly everything
gets so complicated.

You're not gonna believe this,

I was just bopping along, too.

You ever feel like you're
meant to be with someone,

and you don't know
how to make it happen?

Like something happens
and it's magic,

and then it just
keeps getting bigger.

And you know you
shouldn't do something,

but you can't stop yourself.

O.k.,
what just happened?

I know it's wrong, but
what am I supposed to do?

I mean, look at you.

You're so cute.

Oh, that's the tux.

That's the tux and the limo.

Yeah, and a little bit of this.

See? You're funny,
you're smart.

You're just the type
of guy I could fall for.

I've been thinking
about you all day.

You know, I think
that's enough.

All day?

90 words a minute, huh?

Must make a lot of mistakes.

Do you have
a manual typewriter?

No.

So you fix 'em.

Applicant disrespectful
to superior.

Well, miss speedy fingers,

it says here you were let go

from the department
of public works.

That's strike 2.

We were downsized.

Here, a letter of
recommendation from my ex-Boss.

"Stacey paterno is the best
secretary I've ever had. "

We'll have this authenticated.

Here's one from al pacino.

You have a letter of
recommendation from al pacino?

He's from the neighborhood.

My sister fooled around
with his mechanic.

She is so lucky.

I loved him
in scent of a woman.

Hoo-ah! Yeah.

Hoo-ah!
Hoo-ah!

Yeah, yeah,
that never gets old.

Now...

About the job.

Look at the time.
One minute after 7:00.

I'm sorry. We're not allowed to interview
anybody after 7:00. Union rules.

Call tomorrow,
set up an appointment.

Who do I call?

Well, that would be me.

If I'm gonna call you,
why can't I set it now?

Because it's after 7:00.

Applicant slow to learn.

Why, this is
a pleasant surprise.

Well, I just stopped by
to say "hi. "

And "bye".

Mike, my boy,

I am smitten.

Do you have
something in your mouth?

Earring.

For luck.

I don't think it's that bad.
I really don't.

She was the aggressor.
You fended her off.

I may have slightly exaggerated the
fending off part of the story.

It was an innocent kiss.

As long as your tongue didn't
leave your mouth area,

I think you're safe.

Oh, Mike.

I've over-thought
this thing.

You have a great instinct
for this stuff.

Tell me what to do.
I swear to you I will do it.

Fine. Tell the mayor
the truth.

What are you, nuts?
That would crush him.

I couldn't live with the guilt.

I want to tell you something,

you're horrible at this.

Well, I do have another idea,

but it's a little farfetched.

I don't care.
I'm desperate.

All right. You have to get
your hands on a time machine.

If I have to,

I'll take you down with me.

I'm just having horrible
luck with women these days.

Come on. You were tipsy,
you were vulnerable.

It could happen to anyone.

Yeah, well, it wouldn't
happen to you.

Well, it's not
because I'm moral.

It's because I'm gay.

Why can't I be gay?

Well, let's start
with your shoes.

Why, Paul?
Why are you doing this?

Because when I am
behind this desk,

I'm in the loop.

I like the loop.

How does Mike feel about it?

I don't know.

But you'd have to go
through me to find out.

Oh, mr. Lassiter, it is
so nice to see you again.

Don't bother, sweetheart.
The job's been filled.

But that's not possible!

Yes, it is.

Oh, please, don't
handle the figurines.

I was the first one here today
and the last one last night.

No one could get in.

People sneak in.

So, what's she like?

Who?

The new assistant.

Is she smarter than me?

Cuter clothes?

It's a he.

And he's quite the looker.

Janelle.

You think there's any way

you can find me a good florist
here in new York city?

I'm almost sure of it, sir.

She's a miracle worker.

I appreciate you boys
coming up here.

It's been a long time since
I've done any courting.

Afraid I'm a little Rusty.

Uh-for starters, sir,
you might not

want to call it
"courting. "

All right, then.
What am I doing?

I'd say you're trying
to get some.

Well, how will I know
when I've um...

Got it?

Oh-you'll know.

Yeah. James, is it
politically correct nowadays

to ask a woman
you've just met out to dinner?

Dinner can be considered
a little aggressive.

Sometimes it's better
to take her for drinks.

I agree with James.
Get her tipsy.

Knocks down her defenses.

Stuart, he's
the mayor of new York.

I'm sure he can get women

without rendering
them unconscious.

Not if he listens
to you, captain "no rap. "

janelle, how are we doing
on those flowers?

you have no messages.

No messages.

No messages.

No messages.

No messages.

No...

Um, Mike?

What are you doing here?

The door was unlocked.
I had to see you.

You know, nothing can
happen between us.

O.k.? I think I made
that quite clear in my fax.

I just thought you might
have a harder time saying no

to my face.

Uh-those aren't
your face.

Mike, it's Laurie.

Oh.

Doesn't anybody call anymore?

You know, this is why
I have no messages.

Do me a favor.
Hide. O.k.?

Here you go.

Thanks.

Hey.

I came by to get my stuff.

Uh-could I just
mail that to you?

It's uh-really great
to see you.

Oh, I forgot my toothbrush.

You know where it is?
It's in the nightstand.

Is this it?

I'm really sorry
it had to end like this.

Me, too.

O.k., this is not
my toothbrush.

Hi.

Is that it?

I can't believe
I spent the last 24 hours

feeling miserable
about what I did to you.

Apparently I could've
been dating, too.

Mike, it's the mayor!

Mayor Winston?

Why wouldn't it be?

I need some advice.

Jennifer won't return
my phone calls.

Is it so hard for you women

to pick up the phone?

Look, Laurie,
you don't understand.

I think it's
pretty clear, Mike.

Oh, miss parres.

Mike, you're not wearing
any pants.

Just on my way out
to buy some, sir.

Would you care to join me?

Mike, it's o. k.

I don't want to hide this any longer.

Oh, lord, here goes
the coat again.

Excuse me, sir, can I have
a minute of your time?

Sure, of course,
I've got plenty of time.

Come in. Sit down.
What's on your mind?

How ya doin'?

Look, I know that I
apologized to you last night,

but I thought, heck, I should
do it once with my pants on.

Apologize for what?

I didn't leave the mansion
last night.

Just want to pretend
it didn't happen?

Pretend what didn't
happen, Mike?

God, I love being a guy.

You know, Mike,

they're closing the last
woolworth's here in the city.

20 years ago women used
to flock to that store.

They don't think
it's flashy enough.

It's too old-fashioned.
It's obsolete.

I drove by a woolworth's
last week.

There were a lot of ladies
clamoring to get in.

Blue hairs, Mike.

They're there to buy yarn.

Woolworth's is a classic.

And quality never
goes out of style.

As far as I'm concerned,
any woman who doesn't know that,

shouldn't be allowed
in the store.

But that store
was married to one...

Customer for... 25 years,

and then this new customer...

Uh... was the first
shopper to uh...

Ah, to hell with it, Mike,
I'm talking about me.

I figured that, sir.

That's why you're the undisputed
king of the metaphor.

A crumbling brick building.

I was just too old
for her, Mike.

Sir, you're not old.

You're mature.

Tch!

And women love mature.

Do you know how many
women have told me

to come back when I'm mature?

Look, sir, I...

I can't tell you how sorry
I am for what I did.

I forgive you, Mike.

Besides, I'm already over her.

Thank you, mr. Mayor.

that's what
she used to call me.

mr. Flaherty?

I'm here to interview

for the assistant position.

I hope it's not
too presumptuous,

but I made you a cup of coffee.

Thank you...

Stacey.

I don't know how hot
it is, though.

I've been going door to
door looking for you.

People in this building
are so nice.

This is the mayor...
Mayor Randall Winston.

Wow!

You are so handsome in person!

Thank you very much.

You know, my mother
is gonna die

when I tell her we met.

She has a huge crush on you.

Well, she's probably
an older woman.

No! She's 38!

She has you on her wall of fame

between sting and Mel Gibson.

Well, that's amazing.

Mike, who are those people?

Elvis and bogart, sir.

Well, here's looking
at you, kid.

O.k., stop now,
I'm gonna blush.

Mike, who is this
charming woman here?

Sir, this is my new assistant.

You are so hired.

Thank you.

Mike and I talked, and...

I don't think we're going to be

seeing a lot of each other
for a while.

So I guess I just wanted
to say good-bye.

Wow!

We're really gonna miss you.

I'll still see you.

No. You won't.

Listen, can you guys tell Mike

that maybe someday
when I'm looking

for the same things he is-

we can't do that.

He'd be clinging to strings.

Yeah, I guess not.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Laurie, were you...

Yeah, yeah, I was,

but I gotta go.

O.k.

See you around.

I'll see you.

Well, that went well.

Did she mention me at all?

'Cause even if she just...

Talked about me a little bit...

That means I still got a shot.

So did she?

Sorry, Mike.

You didn't come up.

Sit, ubu, sit.
Good dog.

moo.
