1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,000 Not me! 2 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:33,840 coffee machine. 3 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:40,020 Brock Wilder sat gazing at his captors, knowing full well if he divulged the 4 00:00:40,020 --> 00:00:43,660 information, his life would be valueless to them. Someone's discard note out. 5 00:00:43,660 --> 00:00:45,600 I'll take it. I'm closer to the trash. Maybe this is important. 6 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,520 Did anybody lose this? 7 00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:53,360 Brock Wilder sat gazing at his captors, knowing full well... Oh, good heavens, 8 00:00:53,460 --> 00:00:54,460 Frank, it's mine. 9 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,720 What is it? 10 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,760 Something I've been working on, that's all. 11 00:00:58,300 --> 00:00:59,139 A novel. 12 00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:00,300 A novel? You wrote a... 13 00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:03,219 Stop it, Frank. 14 00:01:03,220 --> 00:01:06,580 I just started writing it as a lark, something to fill up my free time. Well, 15 00:01:06,580 --> 00:01:09,140 what's it about? Who's this Brock Wilder guy? 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,500 He's a CIA agent caught up in foiling an attempt by terrorists to seize control 17 00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:17,840 of nuclear arms. May I have that, Frank? Tall, lengthy, a man of few words. 18 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,700 Brock would not let his facial expression betray the emotions churning 19 00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:23,700 him. 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,040 Gee, now who does that sound like? Please, Frank. 21 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,080 I'm not quite ready to show it around. 22 00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:34,320 I finished it last night and I came to the office to make a copy for Doris. Oh, 23 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:37,160 sure. You'll let your wife read it, but not me. Your friend. 24 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,500 Someone once shared with you a poem he wrote for Darlene in research. 25 00:01:41,820 --> 00:01:43,340 A very personal poem. 26 00:01:43,540 --> 00:01:46,220 You showed it to me because you needed a word that rhymed with stamina. 27 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:49,180 Let me read it. I'm already hooked. 28 00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:50,420 Please. 29 00:01:50,780 --> 00:01:52,940 Oh, all right, Frank. You can read it. Read it. 30 00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:05,130 Did you get that memo Miles sent about the annual sponsors meeting? Yes. Looks 31 00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:06,730 like it's our turn to make the keynote address. 32 00:02:07,090 --> 00:02:10,470 I have time to work on it tonight, if you're free. It's a date. My shirt, 33 00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:15,970 Thanks. Jim wrote a novel. Oh, repeat. He wrote a novel? Jim, get out of here. 34 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:17,210 How come you never mentioned it? 35 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:21,410 Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure it's very good. I just finished it. It needs 36 00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:25,710 polishing. Say no more. Writing a novel must be a very private thing. But when 37 00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:29,070 you're ready to have your friends read it, I'd be honored to. Thank you for 38 00:02:29,070 --> 00:02:30,330 understanding, Murphy. Hey, Murph. 39 00:02:30,570 --> 00:02:35,250 It's about the CIA agent Brock Wilder. Kind of the strong, silent type. 40 00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:41,050 Oh. You let Frank read it? He offered to give me his opinion. Counting Doris, 41 00:02:41,050 --> 00:02:44,010 that makes two. I wouldn't be comfortable showing it to more people 42 00:02:44,010 --> 00:02:45,170 right now. I hope you understand. 43 00:02:45,610 --> 00:02:48,470 Of course I do. I understand perfectly. 44 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,040 Hey, you know what I'm thinking now? 45 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,580 That time you checked me into the Betty Ford Center and I told you about my 46 00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:01,280 deepest fears of failure, which I guess is nothing compared to the time Frank 47 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,560 gave you the name of a good car wash. But if you prefer Frank to me... Are you 48 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,340 going to make me guilt -ridden and miserable until I show it to you? You 49 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,520 All right, you can read it. 50 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,040 Read what? 51 00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:15,740 Jim's written a novel, but he's really not ready to show it yet. He said we 52 00:03:15,740 --> 00:03:16,519 could read it. 53 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,520 We can! 54 00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:25,990 book, The Story of a White House Dog. 55 00:03:28,190 --> 00:03:32,150 I'll make copies for each of you, but please don't mention it to anyone else. 56 00:03:32,470 --> 00:03:33,470 Morning, 57 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:37,170 people. Oh, all right, Miles. 58 00:03:37,410 --> 00:03:38,990 There'll be a copy on your desk tonight. 59 00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:46,070 Oh, hi, Frank. Hey, did you watch the Bullets play last night? Bernard King 60 00:03:46,070 --> 00:03:49,670 playing like a Hall of Famer. What are you doing? 61 00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:51,770 Just looking at your hair. 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,460 Dear smoky blonde shoulder -length treasures, you smell like the warm 63 00:03:57,460 --> 00:03:58,660 nights of lost youth. 64 00:03:58,940 --> 00:04:03,200 And I want to look at those legs that go on endlessly and look as though they've 65 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,900 been carved on a lathe in heaven. 66 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,580 What are you talking about? 67 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:07,689 Jim's novel. 68 00:04:07,690 --> 00:04:08,890 Did you read it? Oh, yeah. 69 00:04:09,090 --> 00:04:10,790 Geez, all that intrigue and sex. 70 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:13,910 I didn't know Jim had it in him. The writing wasn't bad, although I 71 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:17,829 Hey, I'm not looking for a literary review here. I'm talking about the woman 72 00:04:17,829 --> 00:04:20,070 Jim's character meets skin diving in Rio. 73 00:04:20,450 --> 00:04:25,290 The foreign correspondent named Monique. The one he has the hot, passionate 74 00:04:25,290 --> 00:04:26,290 affair with. 75 00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:28,469 It's you. 76 00:04:28,470 --> 00:04:30,590 What? Oh, come on. 77 00:04:31,010 --> 00:04:32,310 Don't tell me you didn't notice. 78 00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:37,770 Monique is a successful, outspoken journalist with a fiery temper who 79 00:04:37,770 --> 00:04:38,770 plays to win. 80 00:04:39,130 --> 00:04:42,170 Frank, you've been starting up your car with the garage door closed again. 81 00:04:43,210 --> 00:04:46,490 I just think it's interesting that all these years, Jim has had a secret 82 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:48,290 attraction towards you, and I missed it. 83 00:04:49,050 --> 00:04:53,590 Hey, Murph, what about that elevator scene? I never thought two people could 84 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:54,590 actually make it. 85 00:04:54,650 --> 00:04:58,770 Hi. Oh, hi, Miles. You're just in time. Frank's gone insane. Let's watch. 86 00:04:59,690 --> 00:05:00,910 This isn't a social call. 87 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,540 I have something important to discuss with you, Monique. 88 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,660 Murphy, I see the potential for a certain amount of awkwardness that could 89 00:05:09,660 --> 00:05:13,080 disrupt the synergistic balance among certain people who must work here 90 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,800 together, side by side, day after day. 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,320 So I hope no one would do anything to encourage anything or anything. 92 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,240 Am I making myself clear? No! What kind of language is that? Encourage what? 93 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,560 Goings on and such. 94 00:05:25,420 --> 00:05:26,660 I read the elevator scene. 95 00:05:27,730 --> 00:05:31,090 Look, you guys, you're just reading things into this that simply aren't 96 00:05:31,130 --> 00:05:34,570 But if you don't believe me, why don't you go talk to Jim about it? Talk to Jim 97 00:05:34,570 --> 00:05:35,970 about something as personal as this? 98 00:05:36,230 --> 00:05:39,030 You've got to be kidding me. That'd be like talking to my father about sex. 99 00:05:39,790 --> 00:05:43,830 Look, Jim's obviously had certain thoughts about you buried in the back of 100 00:05:43,830 --> 00:05:47,250 head. Only now they've come to the front of his head and out of his hand and 101 00:05:47,250 --> 00:05:50,010 onto paper. If we don't get this thing in the butt, something bad is going to 102 00:05:50,010 --> 00:05:53,030 happen. I'm not going to listen to this anymore. You know, you guys are both 103 00:05:53,030 --> 00:05:54,030 crazy. 104 00:05:55,790 --> 00:05:56,790 The Walk. 105 00:06:08,830 --> 00:06:13,310 Did everyone have a pleasant evening last night? Anything of interest or note 106 00:06:13,310 --> 00:06:17,870 occupy your time? Jim, I just want to say I read your novel, and I'm seeing 107 00:06:17,870 --> 00:06:21,310 name right at the top of the bestseller list. Did you really like it, Murphy? 108 00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:22,329 I'm so glad. 109 00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:23,990 Did anyone else read it? 110 00:06:24,620 --> 00:06:25,880 We liked it. Oh, 111 00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:31,220 Jim! I just finished reading your book, and it was really, really good. 112 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,540 Why, thank you, Corky. I'm very flattered. But there's something I want 113 00:06:34,540 --> 00:06:38,220 you about the blonde woman, the one Brock has the affair with in the 114 00:06:38,460 --> 00:06:42,120 the aggressive, overbearing, pushy one who always steps all over people to get 115 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,120 what she wants. Yes? 116 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,300 Did you realize you were writing about Murphy at the time, or was it just an 117 00:06:46,300 --> 00:06:47,300 accident? 118 00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:50,900 Murphy? You think Monique is Murphy? 119 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,180 That's preposterous. Ha! I told you. 120 00:06:55,220 --> 00:06:58,680 So you two also thought, oh, this is rich. 121 00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:03,400 How could any rational person entertain such a notion? 122 00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:08,120 Hello, everyone. 123 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:11,140 Doris.

I really want to do this, 130 00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:35,960 Murphy. I really want to have lunch. 131 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,500 Okay.

Murphy and I have to finish a project together, and 186 00:10:47,740 --> 00:10:48,740 it could go pretty late. 187 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,259 I see. 188 00:10:52,260 --> 00:10:54,240 Well, don't work too hard, dear. 189 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,080 And, Murphy, after lunch, perhaps we'll stroll by that hardware store, just so 190 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,080 you know where it is. 191 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,040 Now, why don't we open with that demographic chart of our audience, and 192 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,680 sponsors will know who's seeing our ads. 193 00:11:10,620 --> 00:11:11,680 Sorry. My fault. Go ahead. 194 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,560 I don't know, Jim. I'm not sure if we should start with a lot of facts and 195 00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:21,560 figures. 196 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,840 It'd be better to end with this one. 197 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,540 That's an interesting point. Maybe we should just begin by talking about the 198 00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:28,840 great tradition of legs in broadcasting. 199 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,660 FYI has great staying power, thus the use of the term legs, meaning, you know, 200 00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:37,360 to still be there while others have long ago tried to kill themselves. 201 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,480 I know what you meant, Jim. What else could you have possibly meant? 202 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,720 I'm just going to go get a cup of sex. Coffee! 203 00:11:46,220 --> 00:11:49,740 Look, all the information we need is here. We'll just put this after this. 204 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,820 Go here, go there. 205 00:11:52,260 --> 00:11:54,220 What's this part? I can't read this one. 206 00:11:54,620 --> 00:11:58,700 It's the quarterly report of incremental ratings expansion. You'll read it 207 00:11:58,700 --> 00:11:59,700 across like so. 208 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,120 Jim, did you just smell my hair? 209 00:12:06,380 --> 00:12:09,480 Oh, dear Lord, no. I was merely clearing some dust from my nasal passages. 210 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,140 Would you like to go to Phil's? Yes. 211 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:16,510 It'll be good to see Phil. 212 00:12:16,750 --> 00:12:17,810 Very good to see Phil. 213 00:12:18,590 --> 00:12:20,190 He's much better on a full stomach. 214 00:12:25,950 --> 00:12:27,630 Can I have a large lunch? 215 00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:29,150 Cookie! 216 00:12:29,330 --> 00:12:30,330 Oh, hi! 217 00:12:30,390 --> 00:12:33,750 I know you two are busy, but I thought I could just tit -toe in for a fresh cup 218 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:36,750 of coffee. Oh, you did? Well, now my train of thought is shot to hell. 219 00:12:37,130 --> 00:12:38,830 Blasted, I can't work like this. 220 00:12:39,650 --> 00:12:40,650 Enjoy your evening. 221 00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:45,620 Oh, my God, it's Murphy. 222 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,240 What's Murphy? Monique. Monique is Murphy, and Murphy is Monique. Oh, geez. 223 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,540 was right. You wrote about Murphy. I don't want to hear anymore. 224 00:12:53,140 --> 00:12:54,140 Okay, what happened? 225 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,160 There I was in the office with good old Murphy. 226 00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:00,220 Suddenly, she began to look different to me. 227 00:13:00,540 --> 00:13:02,920 And I found myself with certain healings. And? 228 00:13:03,340 --> 00:13:04,980 I smelled her hair. Oh, God, no. 229 00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:08,980 That's it. Starting tomorrow, nobody writes anything down, and all the women 230 00:13:08,980 --> 00:13:09,980 wearing hairnets. Okay. 231 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,680 Looking at women and thinking about women is perfectly normal. 232 00:13:15,180 --> 00:13:18,640 Even if it's Murphy. What do you say, Frank? You walk around fantasizing about 233 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:19,640 every woman in the office? 234 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,000 Well, yeah. 235 00:13:22,380 --> 00:13:25,860 It doesn't mean anything. It's like when I first met Murph. I tried to pick her 236 00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:28,880 up. Then she opened her mouth and it pretty much killed the fantasy format. 237 00:13:29,700 --> 00:13:33,760 Jim, the important thing to remember here is that this is not going to change 238 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,200 your relationship with Murphy at all. It's just a little game between the ears 239 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,480 that men get to play. 240 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,960 Miles, has this ever happened to you? 241 00:13:43,950 --> 00:13:47,150 Well, remember the time Murphy chewed me out in front of the crew for not 242 00:13:47,150 --> 00:13:48,250 approving her travel expenses? 243 00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:51,890 That night, I dreamed we were on American Gladiators. 244 00:13:53,930 --> 00:13:57,150 He was wearing my bathrobe and beating me with a pugil stick. 245 00:13:58,890 --> 00:13:59,890 I liked it. 246 00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:02,910 And you're worried? 247 00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:08,370 Don't you see the situation is different with me? I put my thoughts about Murphy 248 00:14:08,370 --> 00:14:09,369 in print. 249 00:14:09,370 --> 00:14:11,010 Men, we're nothing but animals. 250 00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:14,560 Can any women sit around and talk about us this way? Are you kidding? It's not 251 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:15,560 in their nature. 252 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,780 And on a scale of one to ten, I'd give Frank's butt a seven. 253 00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:23,520 When I first met Frank, he tried to pick me up. He was kind of cute, but he was 254 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,540 wearing pants that were baggy in his seat. That pretty much killed it for me. 255 00:14:26,740 --> 00:14:28,920 Do you think Jim has hair on his chest? It seems right. 256 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,240 Oh, God, Jim. 257 00:14:30,620 --> 00:14:34,160 Okay, let's quit stalling. I know there's a way to handle this. I just 258 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:35,119 knew what it was. 259 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,680 Well, Murphy, it's so obvious. 260 00:14:36,940 --> 00:14:40,660 He clearly wants you. You have to get that fantasy right out of his head. 261 00:14:40,970 --> 00:14:44,710 I didn't ask for this. Men have always been attracted to me. It's a curse. 262 00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:47,370 Murphy, let's deal with one fantasy at a time. 263 00:14:47,610 --> 00:14:51,190 Now, you respect him, but he's a man. 264 00:14:51,970 --> 00:14:53,590 He has no control over himself. 265 00:14:53,830 --> 00:14:54,830 You're a woman. 266 00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:57,490 It's your responsibility to try to heal the relationship. 267 00:14:58,050 --> 00:15:01,430 Otherwise, you're never going to be able to face him. I know. We're supposed to 268 00:15:01,430 --> 00:15:04,230 work together tomorrow night. How am I going to do that? What am I going to say 269 00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:05,129 to him? 270 00:15:05,130 --> 00:15:09,630 Hey, Jim, pass me a pencil and try to ignore my ripe, inviting lips that make 271 00:15:09,630 --> 00:15:11,110 man want to forget his own name. 272 00:15:12,930 --> 00:15:16,870 Murphy, you'll talk about this problem. You have to get it out in the open. 273 00:15:17,210 --> 00:15:18,049 Confront him. 274 00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:19,750 Discuss it. It's the only way. 275 00:15:20,670 --> 00:15:23,530 Now, remember, Jim, avoidance is always the answer. 276 00:15:23,770 --> 00:15:27,630 She'll probably try to get you to talk. Women always do that. But be a basic. 277 00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:31,470 Keep moving. Don't let her pin you down on anything. Work talk only, Jim. No 278 00:15:31,470 --> 00:15:32,750 chit -chat. Chit -chat is death. 279 00:15:38,609 --> 00:15:42,850 Uh, Jim, before we get to work, we have to talk about something. Oh, hey, Lane, 280 00:15:42,850 --> 00:15:43,850 gotta go. 281 00:15:47,530 --> 00:15:50,690 Murphy, I really don't think there's time to talk. We've, uh, got a lot of 282 00:15:50,690 --> 00:15:52,430 ahead of us. Really a lot, and an incredible amount. 283 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:54,550 Jim, what I have to say can't wait. 284 00:15:54,770 --> 00:15:56,230 I'm telling you, we have too much to do. 285 00:15:56,730 --> 00:15:59,490 Let's order dinner. How about wolf pings? I like the lemon shrimp. 286 00:15:59,690 --> 00:16:01,810 Jim, you want me, and we have to talk about it. 287 00:16:02,550 --> 00:16:04,270 And the fried rice is good. I think I'll have that. 288 00:16:05,890 --> 00:16:10,750 Jim. We can't just ignore what's going on between us. We have to talk about it 289 00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:12,350 because it's not going to just go away. 290 00:16:13,170 --> 00:16:16,370 Now, I think you have a little crush on me. 291 00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:19,170 I think you'll feel better if you admit it. No. 292 00:16:22,670 --> 00:16:26,530 Jim, I want you to look at me. 293 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:28,110 Come on. 294 00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:29,230 Look at me. 295 00:16:29,630 --> 00:16:30,630 Jim, 296 00:16:31,130 --> 00:16:33,510 please. You know how important this is. 297 00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:34,770 Now, come on. 298 00:16:34,970 --> 00:16:35,970 Look at me. 299 00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:38,440 And tell me what's going through your mind. 300 00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:45,580 Good. 301 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,720 Good. Now, what are you thinking? 302 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,380 I was thinking how attractive those glasses look on you. 303 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,080 Well, thank you. 304 00:16:59,580 --> 00:17:01,420 Now, that wasn't so hard, was it? 305 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,560 Now, let's go a little deeper. 306 00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:05,359 In fact, why don't I start? 307 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,060 You know, once I was sitting next to you at the anchor desk, and just for a 308 00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:12,700 flash, I wondered what kind of underwear you were wearing. 309 00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:15,040 Really? Yes, I did. 310 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,920 You see, once you get these things out in the open, it seems sort of silly, 311 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:19,679 doesn't it? 312 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,780 Yes, I guess it does. 313 00:17:21,780 --> 00:17:22,780 Now it's your turn. 314 00:17:23,220 --> 00:17:25,480 Have you ever imagined anything about me? 315 00:17:27,020 --> 00:17:30,580 Well, actually... Come on, I know this is hard. 316 00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:34,440 I was... Just now, thinking about something. 317 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,680 Yes, go on. 318 00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:38,520 About you and me. Right. 319 00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:41,060 Making wild, crazy love in this chair. 320 00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:42,620 Or maybe on the Xerox machine. 321 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,740 Ernie, the janitor, is in the next room. 322 00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:48,460 Okay, this has been very helpful. Now, why don't we get back to work? 323 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,540 Oh, Gerard, what was I saying? 324 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,880 Where did that come from? 325 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,260 There's too much talking here. Let's get back to work. No, no, no, no. 326 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,840 There's no going back now. Murphy. 327 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,440 We have to work this out. We have to talk this through. 328 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,920 No, no, no. We just ignore it. It'll go away. 329 00:18:03,820 --> 00:18:08,300 I've obviously been carrying around a lot of very strong feeling for you. 330 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,600 Buried so deep I wasn't even aware I had it. 331 00:18:11,140 --> 00:18:12,560 When did it start? 332 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:20,020 Probably in Rome when we found that little cafe when we were researching the 333 00:18:20,020 --> 00:18:21,040 Vatican Bank scandal. 334 00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:22,380 Remember that? 335 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:23,820 Rome? Little cafe? 336 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,280 Nope. Doesn't ring a bell. 337 00:18:27,310 --> 00:18:29,210 I remember it so vividly. 338 00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:34,370 I watched the way you ate your pasta primavera with such passion. 339 00:18:34,770 --> 00:18:41,630 Then we walked outside into the hard rain, your hair 340 00:18:41,630 --> 00:18:44,230 all wet and tousled. 341 00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:47,270 Then you got into a fight with that cab driver. 342 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:49,710 Oh, yeah. 343 00:18:49,770 --> 00:18:53,830 He tried to overcharge us. I got out of the cab and cracked his headlights with 344 00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:54,609 my umbrella. 345 00:18:54,610 --> 00:18:55,610 Oh, that was fun. 346 00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:56,750 Fun? 347 00:18:56,970 --> 00:18:58,750 The man was only slightly smaller than a refrigerator. 348 00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:03,610 He punched me. My nose was bleeding all over my new custom -made shirt. You have 349 00:19:03,610 --> 00:19:06,090 a way of antagonizing people, Murphy. 350 00:19:06,570 --> 00:19:10,450 Every time we travel, I have to defend you every five minutes. Imagine an 351 00:19:10,450 --> 00:19:11,450 life like that. 352 00:19:11,950 --> 00:19:12,990 It could be exciting. 353 00:19:14,790 --> 00:19:18,570 The blood always racing, like that time in Paris. What time in Paris? 354 00:19:18,950 --> 00:19:22,550 We had just finished our story on Mitterrand. We were exhilarated. We went 355 00:19:22,550 --> 00:19:24,510 that little cinema to see Après Amour. 356 00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:25,890 I remember. 357 00:19:26,110 --> 00:19:30,390 Sitting there in the dark with you, the smell of your perfume enveloped me. 358 00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:33,450 Then you started yelling things at the screen. 359 00:19:34,270 --> 00:19:38,570 Hey, the pictures stink, okay?
