1
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:08,480
Elvin, have you seen my other shoe?

2
00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:13,560
And I had a yellow pad with notes on it.
Oh, well, running a little late on a

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,380
Monday again? Well, how very unlike you.

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:17,360
Oh, God.

5
00:00:17,380 --> 00:00:19,440
I hate carpool days when Corky drives.

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,860
Elton, don't just stand there. Help me.
It's a black suede pump and a legal

7
00:00:24,860 --> 00:00:25,860
-sized pad.

8
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:29,220
And where are my house keys? You've done
something with them, haven't you?

9
00:00:29,820 --> 00:00:31,620
You know, I don't have to keep coming
here.

10
00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:34,920
I'm a rich man now. I could be at the
movies.

11
00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:38,420
That's what rich people do, you know.
They go to the movies in the daytime.

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,880
I know,

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,420
because when I was unemployed, I would
go to the movies in the daytime and see

14
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:45,420
the rich people.

15
00:00:47,300 --> 00:00:48,300
Here's my other shoe.

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,040
Rich people and dead people, side by
side, watching the same big -budget

17
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,920
bomb with no engaging characters, no
engaging story.

18
00:00:57,980 --> 00:01:02,960
I sell a painting for over a million
bucks, and the quality of my life has

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:03,960
changed at all.

20
00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:05,500
Here's my pad.

21
00:01:06,860 --> 00:01:09,300
Eldon, can you get that? I want to go in
the kitchen and see if there's anything

22
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:10,119
to eat.

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,600
Well, why would there be anything to
eat?

24
00:01:12,090 --> 00:01:13,630
There's never anything to eat in this
place.

25
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:16,990
Aren't rich guys supposed to walk around
going, Ooh, I'm stuffed.

26
00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:19,890
I'm never answering doors for people.

27
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:21,950
Something's definitely wrong here.

28
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:25,350
I've been honking out there for ten
minutes.

29
00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:26,830
She's trying to make breakfast again.

30
00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:29,690
And even a hello.

31
00:01:30,130 --> 00:01:32,110
I'll be at the armory seeing the boat
show.

32
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:33,770
I don't know why.

33
00:01:36,850 --> 00:01:37,850
Corky, hi.

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,180
How would you like a nice cheese and
mushroom omelet, just a little runny in

35
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:44,640
middle so all the flavors come together,
and then some nice hot buttered wheat

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,640
toast on the side?

37
00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:47,860
Gee, that sounds really good.

38
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,220
Maybe just a pork bowl. Great. You go in
there and cook it, and I'll just run

39
00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:52,460
upstairs and collect my notes.

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,800
Murphy!

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,220
Because of you, everyone we're picking
up is going to be standing out in the

42
00:01:57,220 --> 00:01:58,400
snow, waiting and freezing.

43
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:00,040
I wanted to be on time today.

44
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:03,680
I bought a new car, and this is my first
day driving it. You got a new car?

45
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,800
Corky, this calls for a celebration.

46
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:07,460
I know.

47
00:02:07,550 --> 00:02:10,490
Let's make omelets. No omelets. We have
to go now.

48
00:02:11,009 --> 00:02:12,550
I left Frank in the car alone.

49
00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:16,770
He's really depressed. I think he has a
donut on him. He says he doesn't, but I

50
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:17,689
can smell it.

51
00:02:17,690 --> 00:02:20,890
I just know he's going to get powdered
sugar all over my new upholstery. What's

52
00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:21,890
he depressed about now?

53
00:02:22,090 --> 00:02:24,810
I don't know. But he has his saxophone,
so it must be pretty bad.

54
00:02:25,470 --> 00:02:26,470
Now let's go.

55
00:02:27,950 --> 00:02:28,950
Okay, okay.

56
00:02:29,570 --> 00:02:30,570
My keys.

57
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,280
Before you get in, make sure you scrape
the mud and ice on your feet so you

58
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,420
don't get the floor mats dirty.

59
00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:51,260
Murphy, these are brand new Herculon 4
quality weave floor mats. And they work

60
00:02:51,260 --> 00:02:54,440
great. You know, the whole point of a
floor mat is to catch the crud so that

61
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,780
when you put your feet up on the
dashboard, you don't get it dirty.

62
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:58,900
Thank you, Frank.

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,320
Lovely riding in the same car with you
today.

64
00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:02,620
Shut up.

65
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,040
You got your saxophone, Frank.

66
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,280
Let me guess. You just broke up with,
what's her name? Darla?

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,280
Marla? Carla? Susan.

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Well, that was our sixth incentive date.

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,720
Ooh, a breakthrough.

70
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,320
I decided to take her out to celebrate.

71
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:23,800
I sat down at the table and I looked
across the candle better and I thought

72
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,720
myself, this woman is perfect.

73
00:03:26,420 --> 00:03:27,720
Then it started happening.

74
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:29,820
That wave of nausea.

75
00:03:30,549 --> 00:03:32,450
Well, to myself, nobody's perfect.

76
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:35,810
What am I going to find out about her?
That she has to spend an hour in the

77
00:03:35,810 --> 00:03:40,150
bathroom before she can go out in
public? She lets the dog watch during

78
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:43,090
Let's see what's on radio.

79
00:03:43,530 --> 00:03:44,269
Good idea.

80
00:03:44,270 --> 00:03:47,930
By the time the ballad chorus came, I
was breaking up with it. Do you want to

81
00:03:47,930 --> 00:03:49,110
hear the sinking part?

82
00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:51,310
I think it was premeditated.

83
00:03:51,650 --> 00:03:55,970
Before we went to dinner, I put on my
suede jacket, but then I took it off and

84
00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:56,970
went with the wool.

85
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,500
Some disgusting part of me knew that
mascara and tear stains might not come

86
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:03,500
of a suede jacket.

87
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:08,020
Am I supposed to be quirky?

88
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,240
What do they call it?

89
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,900
Fabric. Who didn't feel right about the
leather package now that he's a

90
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,080
vegetarian? Are you going to talk about
your marriage for the whole trip?

91
00:04:15,140 --> 00:04:16,760
Because if you are, I'm going to get out
and take a bus.

92
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,300
Love. Love.

93
00:04:20,860 --> 00:04:22,680
Love will keep us together.

94
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:30,100
That's enough of that.

95
00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:35,120
And now it's time for today's trivia
question.

96
00:04:35,340 --> 00:04:36,740
A real shocker.

97
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,240
Which of the five senses are you most
likely to lose if you're hit by

98
00:04:42,660 --> 00:04:45,240
We'll open the phones at the top of the
hour to take your call.

99
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,720
I say you lose your hearing. I say
touch.

100
00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:53,740
Ever gotten an electrical shock? It
takes a while to get the feeling back.

101
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:54,999
What do you think, Frank?

102
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000
What difference does it make?

103
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:01,320
I guess it could if you took the
lightning bolt in the ear, Corky.

104
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,220
When I was growing up, my Aunt Madeline
lived on a farm and had this retriever

105
00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:06,199
named Goldie.

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,380
One time there was this really bad
electrical storm.

107
00:05:09,340 --> 00:05:13,160
Next day there was this really strange
look in Goldie's eyes and almost all of

108
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,079
her fur was gone.

109
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,920
Nobody knew for sure if she was actually
hit by lightning, but from that day on,

110
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,360
whenever we called, Goldie!

111
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,640
Goldie! She never came.

112
00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:26,540
No scientific, Corky. A lonely farmer
shaves your aunt's dog and you assume

113
00:05:26,540 --> 00:05:27,540
lightning.

114
00:05:29,770 --> 00:05:32,310
Do not litter in my car. Put it in the
trash bag.

115
00:05:32,570 --> 00:05:35,210
I wish I could throw this whole thing in
the trash. I'm trying to make out my

116
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:36,250
will. Your will?

117
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:40,290
And what makes you laugh this morning,
Frank?

118
00:05:40,770 --> 00:05:44,270
After 42 years of trying to take it all
with me, I finally decided I'm just

119
00:05:44,270 --> 00:05:45,270
going to give up.

120
00:05:45,310 --> 00:05:47,650
God, what a dismal exercise this is
going to be.

121
00:05:48,350 --> 00:05:50,870
I'm putting you down for my shoes,
Corky. If you don't want them, there are

122
00:05:50,870 --> 00:05:51,990
plenty of other people who do.

123
00:05:52,970 --> 00:05:54,490
There's Miles. I bet he's really
surprised.

124
00:05:54,810 --> 00:05:56,270
I didn't tell him I was getting a new
car.

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,180
They've been standing out in the snow
for 12 minutes.

126
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,300
What's the excuse to do your Murphy
Skylab ball in your house again?

127
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:10,320
You just lost an original Howdy Doody
cookie jar, Miles.

128
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:12,040
And why didn't you wait in the lobby?

129
00:06:12,460 --> 00:06:15,080
Because I think my doorman was on
America's Most Wanted last night.

130
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:16,860
Oh, no, the saxophone.

131
00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:20,640
Do you mind? I'm not some circus freak.
I don't want Miles sitting in the back.

132
00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:21,740
You know how he gets the car sick.

133
00:06:21,980 --> 00:06:22,980
Fine, I'll sit up front.

134
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,120
Hey, why do I have to sit in the back
just because he gets car sick on a 16

135
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,120
-minute drive?

136
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,560
And speaking of time, we've got to pick
up the pace. Jim will be a block of ice.

137
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:33,580
Which is why you should let me drive,
Corky. My new car?

138
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,880
Drive my new car?

139
00:06:35,060 --> 00:06:36,860
No, drive your goatherd. Yes.

140
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,660
I don't know. Will you let her drive,
Corky? I'm turning blue out here.

141
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:11,700
Carpool is my middle name.

142
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Okay, everybody sit back and relax.
Let's see what this baby can do.

143
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Wait, there's someone out there.

144
00:07:19,140 --> 00:07:24,160
Good morning, carpoolers. Audrey, what
are you doing down here? In my robe.

145
00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:27,340
I don't want to hold anyone up. But you
forgot your lunch, Miles.

146
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,680
And your gloves.

147
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,080
He's so forgetful.

148
00:07:30,380 --> 00:07:33,800
I made the gloves that we could coat
just before we went to bed. Okay,

149
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,820
Audrey. No, thank you, Kiki. For the
most wonderful weekend, we stayed in the

150
00:07:38,820 --> 00:07:39,820
entire time.

151
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:46,100
cooked, read, made a big fire, and
then... Audrey, why don't you go inside

152
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:47,140
before you catch a cold, okay?

153
00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:51,660
I'll be thinking about you all day.

154
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,520
Bye, Pookie.

155
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,720
Bye, Pookie.

156
00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:05,980
What a weekend!

157
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,800
I'll never have that.

158
00:08:09,260 --> 00:08:12,840
Never. It was hideous. One of the worst
of my life. She stayed the entire

159
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,440
weekend. She'd never done that before.

160
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Saturday morning, she made me breakfast.

161
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,560
Buttermilk pancakes in the shapes of
little hearts.

162
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,120
You know what I had for breakfast?

163
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,900
Three chips of hoys and a can of water
chips. Yesterday, she did my laundry.

164
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:26,420
folded my jockey shorts into little
squares.

165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,180
I found a note inside of one of them.

166
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,159
We're on a train that's moving towards
that big station called Living Together.

167
00:08:32,620 --> 00:08:35,220
That's when there is just a short cab
ride to Marriage City.

168
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,440
You know, Miles, you should appreciate
what you have.

169
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:44,480
A lot of guys out there looking for
somebody just like Audrey. Believe me, I

170
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,480
know.

171
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,740
And what exactly does that mean, Frank?

172
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:51,660
Are you saying that if I were to break
up with Audrey, you would ask her out?

173
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,500
I don't know. I'd clear it with you
first. Oh, so you've been thinking about

174
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:02,280
I mean, you've been giving it some
thought. You are amazing, Frank. I'm

175
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,480
practically living with the woman.

176
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:09,680
So, me, if I catch you near her, if you
so much as drive, On her side of town.

177
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,120
Okay, that's enough.

178
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Let's talk about something else.

179
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:16,480
If you were struck by lightning, which
of the five senses do you think you'd be

180
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,480
most likely to lose?

181
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:21,560
What? Trust me. Just give her a simple
answer. It'll make your life much more

182
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:22,560
pleasant. I said touch.

183
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:26,760
And I say hearing. My aunt had this
retriever named Goldie. Oh, jeez. We're

184
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,980
with the fried dog already.

185
00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:29,220
I go with the sense of smell.

186
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:30,860
It's one of the most evolved in nature.

187
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:32,780
Snakes smell with their tongue.

188
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:34,340
Bet you didn't know that.

189
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,900
Sounds like you and Corky flunked out of
the same science class.

190
00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:39,860
I have the right answer.

191
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,179
You'll see.

192
00:09:41,180 --> 00:09:42,180
Jim will back me up.

193
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:44,100
It's really late.

194
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,120
Oh, no. I hope he's waiting inside and
not outside on the curb.

195
00:09:47,460 --> 00:09:50,920
Okay, I read you loud and clear. Let's
throw this thing into warp speed and

196
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,920
up some time.

197
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:03,260
If I leave Judy in payroll, my silver

198
00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:05,880
earrings, then I have to leave Darlene
and research something.

199
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Murphy, there's a man... truck at the
intersection what frank you're getting

200
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,140
spit on my neck please don't write while
you drive it makes me nervous relax

201
00:10:15,140 --> 00:10:18,240
gorky you're talking to a woman who once
took off a pair of pantyhose doing 80

202
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,280
down the macarthur expressway i just
want to get as much of my will done as i

203
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,460
can today then i won't have to think
about it anymore you're making out your

204
00:10:25,460 --> 00:10:29,320
will oh this is perfect at least when
they pull our bodies out of the twisted

205
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,440
wreckage one of us will have her affairs
in order marv would like my record

206
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,440
collection give me that

207
00:10:36,140 --> 00:10:36,959
What's this?

208
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,520
You're leaving Frank the football Bobby
Candy gave you? Really?

209
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:40,879
Of course.

210
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,680
I won't have any children to throw it
to.

211
00:10:42,940 --> 00:10:46,280
Well, by leaving you the moon rock Buzz
Aldrin gave me at the NASA Christmas

212
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,780
party. A rock?

213
00:10:48,620 --> 00:10:50,380
Fine. Give me a rock.

214
00:10:50,780 --> 00:10:53,320
I've seen it, you know. I think Buzz got
it out of his yard.

215
00:10:53,860 --> 00:10:55,300
A bunch of ingrates.

216
00:10:55,820 --> 00:10:58,580
Corky, if you're not happy with my
shoes, speak now.

217
00:10:58,940 --> 00:11:01,420
Oh, just what I want. The dead person's
shoes.

218
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,920
And for your information, Murphy, I
didn't flunk science.

219
00:11:05,230 --> 00:11:06,230
I gotta be plus.

220
00:11:06,690 --> 00:11:09,550
Well, what is it with me and
relationships?

221
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:15,790
A therapist once suggested that in
running away from women, I was running

222
00:11:15,790 --> 00:11:16,790
from myself.

223
00:11:17,650 --> 00:11:21,810
I don't know. I questioned her
objectivity. I was sneaking out of her

224
00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:22,810
at the time.

225
00:11:23,590 --> 00:11:26,770
We're too close to the woman in front of
us. I can see the mole on the back of

226
00:11:26,770 --> 00:11:27,770
her neck. Murphy,

227
00:11:29,050 --> 00:11:30,370
slow down. You'll miss Jim.

228
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:31,499
No, Miles.

229
00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:35,680
I was considering leaving you the rock
and my good sheets, but now I don't

230
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:37,100
Murph, stop. I can't.

231
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:38,439
All right.

232
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,200
Listen to Frank. Don't listen to Corky.
What does she know?

233
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,199
Morning, all.

234
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,560
Stunning car, Corky. Why in the name of
Buddha are you letting Murphy drive it?

235
00:11:48,970 --> 00:11:52,250
She's finished driving. She's at it with
everyone's whining. Miles is going to

236
00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:55,670
drive. Sit right up front here, Jim.
You're about to embark on Mr.

237
00:11:55,950 --> 00:11:57,090
Toad's wild ride.

238
00:11:57,430 --> 00:11:59,850
Thank you very much, bride of evil
Knievels.

239
00:12:03,710 --> 00:12:04,710
Ow.

240
00:12:05,790 --> 00:12:06,790
Ow.

241
00:12:08,670 --> 00:12:11,410
I see you have your saxophone, Frank.

242
00:12:11,970 --> 00:12:13,010
Lost another one, eh?

243
00:12:13,510 --> 00:12:14,770
Who's your name? Mary.

244
00:12:15,170 --> 00:12:16,170
Carrie. Carrie.

245
00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:19,810
I have to ask you something, Jim.

246
00:12:20,170 --> 00:12:23,310
If someone were struck by lightning,
which of the five senses do you think

247
00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:24,530
they'd be most likely to lose?

248
00:12:24,730 --> 00:12:26,570
Good God, Corky, did Will play golf in
the rain?

249
00:12:26,790 --> 00:12:28,530
No, it's a trivia question from the
radio.

250
00:12:28,850 --> 00:12:32,150
Excuse me, why are we just sitting here?
What are you doing, Miles?

251
00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:34,990
Getting to know the car. It's what a
safe and sane driver does.

252
00:12:35,210 --> 00:12:39,090
Oh, God, I'm going to have a birthday
before we get there. Just put it in gear

253
00:12:39,090 --> 00:12:40,490
and step on it, will you?

254
00:12:40,810 --> 00:12:43,470
The lightning question, Jim. What do you
think the answer is?

255
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:48,760
Well... Taking into account that the
human eye, with the inclusion of the

256
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,340
vitreous humor in the ciliary body, is
87 % moisture, the intense heat would

257
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:55,360
surely dehydrate the organ and destroy
it.

258
00:12:55,820 --> 00:12:58,840
So what are you saying, Jim? That
hearing would be the wrong answer?

259
00:12:59,060 --> 00:13:00,700
Couldn't be hearing. That's too obvious
a choice.

260
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,640
Oh, I see.

261
00:13:02,860 --> 00:13:05,040
It's not enough that I'm wrong. Now I'm
obvious.

262
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:11,740
Well, I... What I meant was... was...
Frank, what do you think the answer is?

263
00:13:12,580 --> 00:13:13,860
I don't know. What's left?

264
00:13:14,479 --> 00:13:16,280
Nobody took taste, right? Give me taste.

265
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:17,679
Oh, fine.

266
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:19,880
Frank would rather take a leftover
answer than agree with me.

267
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,660
Nobody ever thinks I'm right about
anything.

268
00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:24,980
Taste is a stupid answer, Frank. Why
would you even choose it? Why?

269
00:13:25,260 --> 00:13:28,060
I don't know, because I've never seen
anyone hit by lightning get up and ask

270
00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:29,380
a meatball sandwich. Just leave me
alone.

271
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,700
Corky, what are you waiting to get your
big deal out of this for? It's just a

272
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:33,700
trivia question.

273
00:13:33,860 --> 00:13:37,420
It's not just a trivia question. It
happens all the time. Remember last week

274
00:13:37,420 --> 00:13:40,140
when Murphy needed to know the capital
of Morocco and I said it was Marrakesh,

275
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:41,220
but she looked it up anyway?

276
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,620
Is it Rabat, the capital of Morocco? No,
I was wrong.

277
00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:49,060
If Frank or Jim had said it was
Marrakesh, she wouldn't have bothered to

278
00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:50,060
up.

279
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,240
And it's not just Murphy.

280
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:52,560
It's everybody.

281
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,660
After a while, it makes me feel like...
Never mind.

282
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:05,320
Murphy, would you like the matching
handbag?

283
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:07,260
Nobody talk to me for the rest of the
trip, okay?

284
00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:14,120
You may have to step on it, Miles. That
local make... The magazine show was

285
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,380
interviewing me at 9 .30 sharp.

286
00:14:15,580 --> 00:14:16,740
The P .M. Washington interview?

287
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,220
I'm surprised, Jim. I thought you were
going to turn that down.

288
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,580
Well, to be quite honest, I never would
have agreed to it if I didn't have such

289
00:14:22,580 --> 00:14:24,180
an amusing anecdote stored away.

290
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,539
It's a jewel.

291
00:14:25,540 --> 00:14:26,540
Potified science winner.

292
00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:28,960
Gee, I think we could use one of those
right about now, Jim.

293
00:14:29,780 --> 00:14:30,780
August, 1988.

294
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,560
Rather, Brokaw and I are in Baghdad
covering the Iran -Iraq ceasefire. Not a

295
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,440
single rental car could be had, but
Rather found a local gentleman with two

296
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,360
camels and one very large yak.

297
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,140
Well... Jim, if this is the story where
the yak goes off with Rather on its

298
00:14:45,140 --> 00:14:49,120
back, Peter Jennings told it already in
an Esquire interview, except he said it

299
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,840
happened to Rather broke on him.

300
00:14:51,780 --> 00:14:52,780
That's unbelievable.

301
00:14:53,540 --> 00:14:54,540
Not that I'm surprised.

302
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,880
That man's a Canadian.

303
00:14:56,460 --> 00:15:00,060
Still here, still has jobs, still has
anecdotes. Does he even have a green

304
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,440
We haven't actually seen it. Take it
easy, Jimbo. You have other stories.

305
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,080
Yes, sir.

306
00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:06,180
Let me see.

307
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,480
Done there. 1967.

308
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:13,770
I was backstage at the USO show, talking
to that wonderful ventriloquist, Sherry

309
00:15:13,770 --> 00:15:16,790
Lewis, when just before going on, she
couldn't find her little puppet, Lamb

310
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:18,050
Chop. Really? What happened?

311
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:21,590
She found it. The damn thing was in the
trunk. That's the story. The whole

312
00:15:21,590 --> 00:15:23,410
incredible, boring story.

313
00:15:24,730 --> 00:15:27,310
I once shared a cab with George Gobel.
Was that anything?

314
00:15:28,410 --> 00:15:29,349
Good God.

315
00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:32,270
Thirty years in this business, and I
can't think of one single anecdote.

316
00:15:33,470 --> 00:15:34,830
Hold on, everybody. Yellow light.

317
00:15:35,130 --> 00:15:37,450
You're stopping for a yellow light.
We're late. Just go through it. Are you

318
00:15:37,450 --> 00:15:39,750
driving this car? I'm stopping. I'll
just pop the brakes.

319
00:15:41,050 --> 00:15:42,050
I'm in control.

320
00:15:47,330 --> 00:15:52,910
I don't know how it happened.

321
00:15:54,110 --> 00:15:55,610
The brakes just locked on me.

322
00:15:56,910 --> 00:16:00,050
I've never skidded across three lanes of
traffic sideways like that before.

323
00:16:00,670 --> 00:16:03,390
I'd like you to kill me before I can
sign this thing and make it official.

324
00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:04,810
Very good, Frank.

325
00:16:05,270 --> 00:16:08,210
Keeping all four wheels on the ground
the way you are.

326
00:16:09,270 --> 00:16:10,270
Interesting, isn't it?

327
00:16:11,130 --> 00:16:13,570
Traffic hurtling at us 60 miles an hour.

328
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:17,830
And nothing separating us but a little
white line.

329
00:16:19,810 --> 00:16:21,070
I feel fragile.

330
00:16:22,750 --> 00:16:25,270
Frank, maybe you shouldn't be behind a
wheel right now.

331
00:16:27,230 --> 00:16:30,030
Why? You don't have to look at me when
you talk. I hate when people do that.

332
00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:31,090
Stop my...

333
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,180
Stop lights, they take forever.

334
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,280
Whoa, 68 Mustang convertible.

335
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,300
Classic car.

336
00:16:51,940 --> 00:16:53,800
Great looking woman in it.

337
00:16:57,460 --> 00:16:58,460
Recognizes me.

338
00:17:00,460 --> 00:17:02,320
And is smiling at me.

339
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,579
And won't look away.

340
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
I'll be back.

341
00:17:26,569 --> 00:17:29,890
Amazing. It's 15 degrees out there and
Frank's showing her the bullet wound he

342
00:17:29,890 --> 00:17:30,890
got in Nicaragua.

343
00:17:32,230 --> 00:17:34,170
Look, they're tearing down the Cremant
building.

344
00:17:34,670 --> 00:17:37,810
Anybody know what they're going to put
up there? I do, but I won't bother

345
00:17:37,810 --> 00:17:39,970
telling you because you'll only ask
someone else.

346
00:17:40,210 --> 00:17:41,570
This is really annoying.

347
00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:42,850
We don't think you're dumb.

348
00:17:43,410 --> 00:17:48,110
It's just that occasionally we think
you're underexposed to information.

349
00:17:50,310 --> 00:17:54,270
If I'm right about the trivia question,
if the correct answer is hearing, then

350
00:17:54,270 --> 00:17:57,110
you all have to agree with me for the
rest of the day, no matter what I say.

351
00:17:57,350 --> 00:17:58,450
Okay? Okay.

352
00:17:59,870 --> 00:18:03,090
Her name is Julie.

353
00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:06,710
She just ended a three -year
relationship, so I'm not sure if I

354
00:18:06,710 --> 00:18:08,870
involved. I'll know better after this
weekend.

355
00:18:09,550 --> 00:18:10,550
We're going to Bermuda.

356
00:18:11,130 --> 00:18:12,130
Unbelievable.

357
00:18:13,050 --> 00:18:14,750
Well, that's it. My will.

358
00:18:14,950 --> 00:18:17,820
You know... I've been putting this off
because I thought it would be a

359
00:18:17,820 --> 00:18:21,120
depressing experience, your whole life
on one piece of paper.

360
00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:25,960
But when I look at it, I have to say,
Murphy Brown has had one hell of a life.

361
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,240
Hey, Jim, look at this. Look.

362
00:18:28,460 --> 00:18:29,860
Murphy, I'm driving.

363
00:18:30,380 --> 00:18:34,900
Item 44, the nutcracker I used when I
shared a lobster with Terry Grant.

364
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:41,400
pretty great that's for you and item 27
the cue cards from nixon's i am not a

365
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,000
crook speech framed and ready for
hanging will become the property of the

366
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,140
of broadcasting oh boy this feels great
my affairs are in order i am ready i can

367
00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:57,520
go at any time look out for that car i
see it i see it okay so i'm not ready

368
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,460
this minute thank god we're here

369
00:19:26,270 --> 00:19:27,410
It's mine, Carmelo.

370
00:19:27,650 --> 00:19:30,970
And Carmelo, I'd like you to park in a
different space from now on.

371
00:19:31,190 --> 00:19:34,650
The person who parks next to me flings
the doors open and leaves little dents

372
00:19:34,650 --> 00:19:35,650
it.

373
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:39,800
The car is just a meaningless object,
Corky. Unburden yourself of this

374
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,640
connection to the material world and
deepen your perspective on the true

375
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,220
of life. This from a woman who once
broke someone's arm in a Norma Kamali

376
00:19:47,580 --> 00:19:50,680
Hey, hey, give me the answer to today's
trivia question. I want to hear this.

377
00:19:51,380 --> 00:19:56,480
The correct answer is the sense of
hearing.

378
00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:02,600
Me too, but it was such an easy
question.

379
00:20:03,070 --> 00:20:05,590
You'd have to have the brains of a trout
not to be able to get it.

380
00:20:08,090 --> 00:20:10,650
Carmelo, gas barbecue out.

381
00:20:12,650 --> 00:20:14,510
I don't understand what she's talking
about.

382
00:20:15,290 --> 00:20:18,630
Take care of my car, Carmelo. It's
amazing we got it here in one piece.

383
00:20:20,610 --> 00:20:23,070
I say the capital of Morocco is America.

384
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:24,530
What does everyone else say?

385
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:25,790
America is America.

386
00:20:26,770 --> 00:20:28,850
Today is going to be so much fun.

387
00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:32,150
Those people from P .M. Washington are
upstairs waiting for me.

388
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:33,959
I know.

389
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,320
I'll tell my Charles de Gaulle story, of
course. Why didn't I think of that

390
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,320
before? Because everyone's heard it,
Jim.

391
00:20:40,220 --> 00:20:42,260
My God, you're as exciting as wood.

392
00:20:43,060 --> 00:20:46,120
You know, just once I'd like this
elevator to be here at the same time as

393
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:51,420
Time? What is time? A corporeal measure
of light and faith. A human boundary.

394
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,400
Holy moly, it's 9 .15. The snack cart
will be gone. Come on, come on. What's

395
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,740
running this thing anyway? A hamster?

396
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:00,760
That's why you say I'm a hermit.

397
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:05,480
The girl in the Mustang, her name was
Donna, right?

398
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,480
Julie. Jeez, Frank, you're a menace to
society. Hey, it's got to be me.

399
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,620
I think I'll call Audrey and see if she
wants to come over tonight.

400
00:21:12,820 --> 00:21:14,900
I won't tell an anecdote. I'll tell a
joke instead.

401
00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:18,920
A priest administered a rabbi, walk into
a bar and... What?

402
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,240
What?
