I like to surprise Murphy, and 43 00:02:32,290 --> 00:02:33,790 I'm one of the few people who can do it. 44 00:02:35,370 --> 00:02:36,490 Do you have other clothes? 45 00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:39,050 You seem to wear the same thing over and over. 46 00:02:41,510 --> 00:02:42,510 Nice hat. 47 00:02:43,830 --> 00:02:48,130 So, I bet you want to see your daughter.

It's 53 00:03:08,490 --> 00:03:12,770 kind of a mutual fear of intimacy that they say goes way back to childhood. 54 00:03:13,150 --> 00:03:15,470 Mr. Fontana, you're boring me. 55 00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:17,630 Nice hat. 56 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:20,190 Murphy? 57 00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:25,480 Murphy, wake up. 58 00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:32,580 Surprise. 59 00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:35,380 You've got to stop doing this. 60 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,120 Other mothers call ahead.

So? 76 00:04:42,970 --> 00:04:44,590 So, what did you want to talk to me about? 77 00:04:45,390 --> 00:04:48,350 Well, in a nutshell, I've lost my will to live. 78 00:04:49,470 --> 00:04:53,450 What? When I get up in the morning, I no longer have anything to look forward 79 00:04:53,450 --> 00:04:55,810 to. No new mountains to climb. 80 00:04:56,050 --> 00:04:57,190 So I've made a decision. 81 00:04:57,510 --> 00:05:00,110 I'm going to change the scenery of my existence. 82 00:05:00,330 --> 00:05:03,470 I think that's a great idea.

And forgive me for asking, Mother, but does this 85 00:05:14,010 --> 00:05:16,730 anything to do with the fact that Dad recently remarried? 86 00:05:17,710 --> 00:05:18,710 Did he? 87 00:05:20,830 --> 00:05:26,510 Mother, I think maybe it's time to start dating again. You know, seriously. 88 00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:28,650 Now, why would I want to do that? 89 00:05:29,150 --> 00:05:31,910 I don't know. It just might be a more fun way to spend Saturday night than 90 00:05:31,910 --> 00:05:35,350 sitting in that big house in Philadelphia watching Fatal Attraction 91 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:36,350 over. 92 00:05:37,030 --> 00:05:40,850 Look, Daddy's obviously moved on with his life. 93 00:05:41,250 --> 00:05:43,410 I think you should be able to move on with yours. 94 00:05:44,810 --> 00:05:47,150 Well, I'll think about it. 95 00:05:51,340 --> 00:05:54,940 You're never going to believe what's happened. I may just self -destruct 96 00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:58,560 in this chair. You will never believe it, never in a million years. 97 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,800 I'll bite. What's going on? What's going on? 98 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,400 What's going on? Oh, nothing much. 99 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,220 My mother just announced she's moving in with me. Not for a few days, not for a 100 00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:09,520 few weeks, forever. 101 00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:12,000 Other than that, my life is just swell. 102 00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:14,480 Your mother wants to live with you? 103 00:06:15,060 --> 00:06:16,840 Why would anybody want to do a thing like that? 104 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,960 Oh, good, Miles. Walk up to a bear and poke it with a stick. 105 00:06:22,660 --> 00:06:25,820 Now, Murphy, it sounds to me like your mother's just a little lonely. 106 00:06:26,060 --> 00:06:29,940 She's been divorced for how long? Fifteen years? That's my theory. She 107 00:06:29,940 --> 00:06:30,940 start dating again. 108 00:06:31,180 --> 00:06:33,620 Of course, we're talking about the pickiest woman I know. 109 00:06:33,940 --> 00:06:37,200 Oh, who am I kidding? She's never going to start a relationship now. 110 00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:39,900 All right, I found one. 111 00:06:41,540 --> 00:06:43,680 Mother, I thought you were at the house. 112 00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:45,020 Found one what? 113 00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:46,260 A man. 114 00:06:47,820 --> 00:06:50,660 talking about? You left the office less than two hours ago. 115 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,240 Well, what you said made perfect sense, and there was no point in wasting time, 116 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,020 so I took a taxi to the National Gallery, and I stood at the foot of the 117 00:06:59,020 --> 00:07:03,220 escalator and watched all of the men that rode up or down, and then I picked 118 00:07:03,220 --> 00:07:05,480 one. Oh, God, my mother's gone crazy. 119 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:10,980 I followed my selection up to the third floor. I noticed he was quite attractive 120 00:07:10,980 --> 00:07:12,360 with a nice head of hair. 121 00:07:12,940 --> 00:07:18,200 And he wore no wedding band on his strong spatulate fingers, although he 122 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:23,020 perfect. He wore those pants with no belt loops, but I could work on that. 123 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,520 Anyway, I engaged him in conversation and invited him to dinner, and he 124 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,580 accepted. Mother, you can't do this. You can't stalk innocent people in a 125 00:07:32,580 --> 00:07:37,680 museum. Besides, you have no idea who this man is. He could be a bigamist or 126 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,539 axe murderer. 127 00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:39,760 He's a lovely man. 128 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,300 And recently he sold a small appliance company for quite a lot of money. And, 129 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,700 Murphy, best of all, he has a son. 130 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,480 A son? Did you hear that, Murphy? He has a son! 131 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,220 Mother, I have an awful feeling I know where this is going, and the answer is 132 00:07:55,220 --> 00:08:00,420 no. Oh, Murphy, don't be so scodgy. Take a little of your own advice. 133 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,880 Everyone needs companionship, and this could turn out to be Mr. 134 00:08:05,180 --> 00:08:06,680 Right. Tell her, everybody. 135 00:08:08,190 --> 00:08:09,190 Tell her! 136 00:08:10,810 --> 00:08:11,810 Murphy, 137 00:08:12,990 --> 00:08:14,630 it's 7 o 'clock. Why aren't you dressed? 138 00:08:15,250 --> 00:08:16,910 Because I don't want to go, Mother. 139 00:08:17,390 --> 00:08:18,390 Dating is painful. 140 00:08:19,090 --> 00:08:22,990 Men see me on TV every week being tough and competitive, and they assume that's 141 00:08:22,990 --> 00:08:26,690 all there is to me. They wind up being intimidated, and I never hear from them 142 00:08:26,690 --> 00:08:31,250 again. Besides, we don't even know these guys' names, do we? Of course we know 143 00:08:31,250 --> 00:08:34,750 them. My date's name is Theodore Wilkes, and his son's name is Bob. 144 00:08:37,010 --> 00:08:38,110 Exciting name, Bob. 145 00:08:38,809 --> 00:08:40,370 Spelled backwards as Bob. 146 00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:44,910 Mother, I want you to promise me something. That when these guys get 147 00:08:44,950 --> 00:08:48,210 you'll tell them I'm not feeling well and that I'll be excusing myself early. 148 00:08:48,930 --> 00:08:52,530 They're here. Promise me, Mother. Promise me or I'm going right out the 149 00:08:52,530 --> 00:08:53,790 window. All right. 150 00:08:54,130 --> 00:08:57,210 How could I raise such a prude? Open the door. 151 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,760 Theodore, hello again. 152 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,920 And hello to you, Avery.

You know, once you've 202 00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:31,360 seen the president making French toast in his underwear, you get a little blasé 203 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,360 about celebrities. 204 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,180 I hope I didn't insult you. Oh, you didn't. 205 00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:37,760 Good, because I lied. 206 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,260 My palms feel like wet sponges, and if I'd ever seen you make French toast in 207 00:11:41,260 --> 00:11:42,680 your underwear, I know I'd never forget it. 208 00:11:45,980 --> 00:11:48,600 I know I should mention that... 209 00:11:48,830 --> 00:11:52,310 Murphy isn't feeling well, and she may have to make her early apologies. 210 00:11:52,590 --> 00:11:56,130 Oh, actually, Mother, I'm feeling great.

I just didn't want a wrinkle. 216 00:12:09,310 --> 00:12:13,410 Don't you think it would be fun to do something new and exciting? I don't know 217 00:12:13,410 --> 00:12:16,990 exactly what. We could all get in the car and drive around. 218 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,760 And I think we'll recognize it when we see it. What do you say? 219 00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:22,300 Let me get this straight, Mother. 220 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,420 You just want to cruise around in the dark until you find some action 221 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,760 That's right. 222 00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:31,660 Yes, sir. 223 00:12:36,330 --> 00:12:39,210 Are you sure this is the way you want to spend the evening? I feel a little 224 00:12:39,210 --> 00:12:44,250 overbreast. I knew I'd like this place the minute I set my eyes on it. It 225 00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:49,190 dangerous. I just want to mention once more, we passed a really cute little ice 226 00:12:49,190 --> 00:12:50,630 cream parlor a few blocks down. 227 00:12:51,130 --> 00:12:52,610 They had antique ceiling fans. 228 00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:54,070 Could be a lot of fun. What do you think? 229 00:12:54,390 --> 00:12:55,550 I want to stay here. 230 00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:57,190 Good for you, Avery. 231 00:12:57,630 --> 00:12:59,850 Come on, Dad.

You're absolutely right. Sometimes you just 235 00:13:11,220 --> 00:13:13,200 shut your eyes and jump in with both feet. 236 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,040 If I could give you a little advice, Murphy, try to act like a lady. 237 00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:21,500 Men don't like women that are too aggressive or know more than they do or 238 00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:22,500 their own car doors. 239 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,820 Beer, soda, and plenty of pretzels. Everybody help themselves. 240 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,040 We picked out four poles, one for each of us. 241 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,820 These are called tubes. 242 00:13:32,380 --> 00:13:33,920 Can you see this little piece of chalk here? 243 00:13:34,460 --> 00:13:36,400 Take this and you rub it. 244 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,920 On top of the cue, like so. 245 00:13:39,380 --> 00:13:43,660 And we do that so the cue doesn't slip when we contact the ball. 246 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,140 Ted, you know so much about this. 247 00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:51,400 Okay. How do you say we play teams, two against two? Great idea. Although I just 248 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,820 feel I should tell you up front, I'm not exactly a novice at this game. I spend 249 00:13:54,820 --> 00:13:56,280 a lot of time on the road with crew. 250 00:13:56,740 --> 00:13:59,900 Then it wouldn't be fair for you and me to be on the same team. My four years at 251 00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:03,740 Yale, I was unbeaten. Well, what do you say we play boys against girls? 252 00:14:03,980 --> 00:14:05,860 Fine with me. Okay with me.

Eight ball? 255 00:14:11,620 --> 00:14:15,880 It's for amateurs. Now, nine ball, that's a game of skill. You need the 256 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,100 a surgeon for nine ball. 257 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,840 Unless you really like to play eight ball, that would be fine. Nope, nine 258 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,360 fine. Let's make it even more interesting. 259 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,220 We have to call our shots. 260 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,980 What do you say we let the ladies have the first break? 261 00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:31,460 It was all yours, wasn't it? 262 00:14:35,210 --> 00:14:36,210 Okay, mother. 263 00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:38,530 Watch me very carefully. 264 00:14:41,770 --> 00:14:44,270 Oh, nice break.

You know what I like about you, Murphy? 270 00:14:57,090 --> 00:14:59,770 You don't feel you have to let the man win just to boost his ego. 271 00:15:00,910 --> 00:15:03,830 Three in the side pocket. I mean, it's great that men and women have gotten to 272 00:15:03,830 --> 00:15:06,670 the point where they don't have to be threatened by each other. Ha! You 273 00:15:09,570 --> 00:15:10,750 I guess it's my turn. 274 00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:14,330 Three in the corner. 275 00:15:16,330 --> 00:15:17,309 That's my boy. 276 00:15:17,310 --> 00:15:18,990 Look -de, look -de, look -de. 277 00:15:19,690 --> 00:15:20,970 Very nicely done. 278 00:15:21,770 --> 00:15:24,330 Four in the side. 279 00:15:29,130 --> 00:15:30,610 That's not fair.

It's my mother's shot. 282 00:15:38,180 --> 00:15:39,180 Are we winning? 283 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,100 Yes, Mother. Now, you just try to get that purple ball into that pocket over 284 00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:44,500 there. You don't have to hit it hard. 285 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,760 Here, Avery.
