1 00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:04,240 But like a heart. 2 00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:41,470 collection. She already bit the head off of Mary Todd Lincoln. 3 00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:45,430 I don't understand, Corky. Why is Murphy using the phone in your office? 4 00:00:46,310 --> 00:00:47,310 Excuse me? 5 00:00:47,890 --> 00:00:53,570 Could somebody please explain how a 120 -pound woman could destroy a phone 6 00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:56,370 that's been tested under 3 ,000 pounds of pressure? 7 00:00:56,650 --> 00:01:01,170 What does she do? Take it out of the parking lot? Drive a car over it? Oh, 8 00:01:01,170 --> 00:01:04,569 I'm sorry, Pete. I guess Murphy's having a rough day. Yeah, well, I'm running 9 00:01:04,569 --> 00:01:08,010 out of phones. That woman needs her hold button popped. 10 00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:09,230 If you know what I mean. 11 00:01:11,550 --> 00:01:12,408 Morning, Pete. 12 00:01:12,410 --> 00:01:16,450 Oh, I see she got another one. Poor little fella never had a chance. 13 00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:21,170 Hey, guys, is Pete still here? I had a little accident. 14 00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:22,630 All right, that's it. 15 00:01:23,230 --> 00:01:25,790 Miles, I want a deadbolt on my door by noon. 16 00:01:26,070 --> 00:01:27,470 Murphy, this has got to stop. 17 00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:30,530 Building services says the next time it happens, they're going to make you use 18 00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:33,430 the pay phone in the lobby. Is that what you want? You're right, Miles. I 19 00:01:33,430 --> 00:01:37,170 shouldn't get so excited. So what if my story on the education crisis is in the 20 00:01:37,170 --> 00:01:38,158 toilet? 21 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,060 What do you mean it's in the toilet? We screened the rough cut two days ago and 22 00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:42,060 we all thought it looked great. 23 00:01:42,340 --> 00:01:46,280 Well, I don't. That's why I'm trying to reach President Bush. I need to confront 24 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,360 the education president on camera and then we'll have a story. But the White 25 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:51,700 House keeps giving me the runaround. 26 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,920 Murphy, are you sure you're not letting your ego get the better of you here? 27 00:01:55,220 --> 00:01:58,320 Oh, please, Jim. Since when has my ego ever been a problem? 28 00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,880 Murphy. 29 00:02:02,030 --> 00:02:05,370 If you really think you need a statement from Bush, why don't you just go to the 30 00:02:05,370 --> 00:02:07,110 president's press conference on Friday? 31 00:02:07,370 --> 00:02:09,150 You won't get an interview, but at least you'll get a quote. 32 00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:12,790 Good one, Miles. Very good. You're right, Merv. Go to the press conference. 33 00:02:13,390 --> 00:02:14,730 What? What's the big joke? 34 00:02:14,930 --> 00:02:16,330 How come I'm the only one who doesn't get it? 35 00:02:16,690 --> 00:02:18,730 Don't feel stupid, Miles. I don't get it either. 36 00:02:18,950 --> 00:02:20,230 Oh, good. That makes me feel much better. 37 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,560 Just see who has the last laugh. I'm calling the White House for a press pass 38 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,320 right now. Yeah, right. 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,280 They're never going to let you in. Of course they'll let her in. Why wouldn't 40 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,220 they let her in? Because she was banned from White House press conferences ten 41 00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:36,840 years ago. What was the official reason? 42 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,040 Malicious mischief with intent to inflict bodily harm, wasn't it? 43 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,360 Oh, come on, Jim. That was a totally trumped -up charge, and you know it. 44 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,880 Press credentials, this is Murphy Brown. 45 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,500 I need a pass for Friday. 46 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,840 Yeah, I'll hold. Bodily harm? 47 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,120 What did you do? 48 00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:55,470 Every time I asked Reagan a tough question, he'd do that little hand -to 49 00:02:55,470 --> 00:02:59,410 -ear thing like a helicopter was landing in the press room. Then he'd give me 50 00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:02,590 that aw, shucks grin and move on to the next reporter. I had to do something. 51 00:03:02,890 --> 00:03:06,590 Yeah, right. When Reagan ignored her again, she asked him that Grecian 52 00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:07,590 question. 53 00:03:08,650 --> 00:03:11,010 The man actually stopped breathing for a minute. 54 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:14,890 When the Secret Service came after her, she tried to create a diversion by 55 00:03:14,890 --> 00:03:16,930 yelling that Helen Thomas had a gun in her purse. 56 00:03:18,670 --> 00:03:21,890 Okay, I admit I went a little overboard, but it's a different administration. 57 00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:23,690 I'm sure they've forgotten all about that. 58 00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:26,450 Yeah. Yeah, this is she. 59 00:03:27,350 --> 00:03:31,650 Oh, come on. That was ten years ago, you bunch of elephants. Don't you forget 60 00:03:31,650 --> 00:03:32,650 anything. 61 00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:36,610 Oh, forget it, Murph. It's no big deal until you don't have a quote. I saw the 62 00:03:36,610 --> 00:03:39,350 piece. It's terrific just the way it is. What's the matter, Frank? You don't 63 00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:40,350 think I can get in? 64 00:03:40,410 --> 00:03:45,190 And who took only 15 minutes to get us two fabulous seats to tonight's sold 65 00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:48,690 Aretha Franklin concert? Murph, a presidential press conference is a 66 00:03:48,690 --> 00:03:51,870 harder to get into than an Aretha Franklin concert. Well, it shouldn't be. 67 00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:53,750 man can't sing Respect to save his life. 68 00:03:54,810 --> 00:03:57,370 I am telling you, you're never going to get in. 69 00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:02,150 Okay, Frank, you want to make a bet? Put your money where your mouth is. 70 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:07,330 Ten bucks. Ten bucks says you can't do it. Ten bucks? You call that a bet? 71 00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:08,630 Okay, 20. 72 00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:10,100 50. Please. 73 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,340 Murphy.

And when I find out 97 00:05:13,750 --> 00:05:15,850 her name, I found my way in. 98 00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:20,210 Ooh, I taste victory. 99 00:05:25,790 --> 00:05:27,790 All right, all right, all right, calm down. 100 00:05:28,390 --> 00:05:29,810 I'm having a hard time understanding you. 101 00:05:31,190 --> 00:05:32,190 Uh -huh. 102 00:05:32,390 --> 00:05:33,390 Uh -huh. 103 00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:35,330 Okay, I'll give it to her as soon as she gets in. 104 00:05:35,810 --> 00:05:36,980 No! thank you. 105 00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:38,900 Yes! 106 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,640 Jimbo Corkster!

It's payoff time. 108 00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:49,200 What are you talking about, Miles? I'm talking about the press conference. The 109 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,620 press conference that your colleague and mine, Murphy Brown, has just been 110 00:05:52,620 --> 00:05:53,620 cleared to attend. 111 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,000 I don't believe it. How did this happen? Some guy from the press office just 112 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,680 told me there's a pass waiting for Murphy at the door. And to make sure she 113 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,860 knows that he's going to stop seeing Debbie right after the weekend. 114 00:06:04,100 --> 00:06:06,000 So pay up, guys! 115 00:06:07,540 --> 00:06:08,640 Well, all right. 116 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,200 But this is a dubious achievement, Miles. The woman blackmailed her way in. 117 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,120 besides, it doesn't mean she'll get to ask Bush a question. Are you doubting 118 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,879 her, Murphy? 119 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,980 Of course she'll get to ask him a question. In fact, I'm willing to put 120 00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:21,980 it. What about you? 121 00:06:23,740 --> 00:06:24,719 Double or nothing. 122 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,860 Baby could also use a great big bottle of Chanel. 123 00:06:27,980 --> 00:06:28,980 You're on. 124 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,460 Oh, look who's here. 125 00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:38,650 That's right, you owe me many dollars.

Do not despair. 127 00:06:40,250 --> 00:06:41,350 I'm willing to make you an offer. 128 00:06:41,970 --> 00:06:45,490 Certain people who shall remain nameless doubt whether Murphy will get to ask 129 00:06:45,490 --> 00:06:46,489 Bush a question. 130 00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:47,690 Double or nothing says she will. 131 00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:52,970 Double or nothing, huh? That she gets to ask Bush a question. I don't know, I 132 00:06:52,970 --> 00:06:56,830 don't know. It sounds kind of risky to me, but okay. Okay, you are on. Kiss 133 00:06:56,830 --> 00:07:00,670 money goodbye, Frank, and congratulations, Murphy. How does it 134 00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:02,810 in the White House?

What do I have to do already? 374 00:19:59,420 --> 00:20:02,600 You have to stop waving your hand in my face. I see you, Murphy. I'd have to be 375 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,600 blind to miss you. 376 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,440 You confirm, as recent publications have reported, that there is some 377 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,020 disagreement... It's a little harder than FYI, isn't it, Murphy? 378 00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:13,500 You don't get to sit in your cushy little chair with your makeup and your 379 00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:17,240 lighting. Down here in the pits, it's every man for himself. Oh, give me a 380 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,720 break. I earn my stripes just like everybody else. Don't blame me just 381 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,120 you're a lox on camera. 382 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,040 Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I wasn't looking. That's not fair. He distracted 383 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,040 me. 384 00:20:29,290 --> 00:20:31,650 Purpose, you cheater. All right, now. Settle down, Murphy. 385 00:20:31,950 --> 00:20:36,170 Come on, it was my turn. Admit it. Let me see that question you take. 386 00:20:36,410 --> 00:20:37,410 Get back back. 387 00:20:37,850 --> 00:20:41,090 Ha! You call that a question? I was asking tougher stuff than this on a high 388 00:20:41,090 --> 00:20:41,969 school paper. 389 00:20:41,970 --> 00:20:45,270 Why don't you just ask him his favorite color? No wonder you're still a print 390 00:20:45,270 --> 00:20:46,930 journalist. A lot of nerve. 391 00:20:47,210 --> 00:20:51,370 And I suppose it was Hugh Downs that broke Watergate. Oh, don't make me 392 00:20:51,390 --> 00:20:55,370 You guys don't do half the job with me. You watch my job around here. 393 00:20:56,050 --> 00:20:57,870 Interviews? That was the last time you were on the subway. 394 00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:06,560 Looks like the only way we're going to get out of here is let Murphy ask her 395 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,680 question. This better be good. 396 00:21:08,980 --> 00:21:09,980 What is it? 397 00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:12,140 Come on, Murphy. 398 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:13,600 I don't have all day. 399 00:21:15,100 --> 00:21:17,520 All right, that's it. Thanks for coming. 400 00:21:18,820 --> 00:21:22,720 If I ever see her in here again, you're history.
