Today I hope to make him mine.

No one died?

Nice suit.

I don't know. You know, I've already cut the story to the bone. Maybe morning

guys could later help me out.

Oh, what's with the suit?

It's Brooke's brother.

Top of the line.

Figured I'd treat myself.

My brother's coming into town today, and I want him to look good.

You know, show him his kid brother's doing pretty well for himself.

So you bought that suit?

What's wrong with this suit?

It's a good suit.

Isn't it, Jim? Certainly.

Silk lining.

No. Hand -stitched lapels.

I don't think so.

Double -seed.

I didn't ask.

Looks nice. Thanks.

Morning, everybody.

Morning.

Whoa, Miles, I'm impressed.

Well, thank you, Murphy.

Yeah, I just think it's really special when somebody 25 years old can still fit

into his varmint's pursuit.

Talk to you.

Got a little favor to ask of you.

Miles, they're sold over the counter these days. You don't even have to ask

pharmacist.

Got it out of your system?

I would like you to have lunch with me today.

My brother's coming into town, and it would be great if you could join us. You

know, so he can meet you.

A person I work with, who's world -renowned, who might have some

anecdotes to tell about our first year together on a big network news show.

Can't I just stay here and pound my thumb with a hammer?

Let me add something else to the mix.

I managed to convince Admiral Poindexter to come on to the show. Now I have to

decide who gets this very hot interview.

Talk about a rockin' hard place.

Okay, okay, I'll have lunch with you today.

But this is where I draw the line. No more meals with family members. No more

tea with your sister or brunch with your cousin from Dubuque.

And I'm not calling you Mr.

Silverberg. You got it.

See you, Phil. One o 'clock.

You know, one Mr. Silverberg wouldn't kill you.

Hey, bro!

Scooter! All right!

Oh, you look great.

Killer suit.

What is that, Italian or something? Yeah, Armani. Sent me back a few bucks,

I figured I'd treat myself, show my famous brother I can keep up with him.

know what I say?

What? Look out, women of Washington, the Silverberg brothers are back!

How long do you get to stay? You got me for a whole week. I'm up to my eyeballs

in meetings with the case I'm working on.

Besides, you've got at least a week's worth of catching up to do, huh? Okay.

I'll start with dinner tonight.

I made reservations, Ed.

Get this.

Sardellas.

Sardellas? What did you have to do to get a table there?

Don't tell me.

I'm older than you, but I'm still impressionable.

Josh, Washington is my town, my burg, my beat.

I'm connected.

In fact...

I made the reservations for Quatro.

I am going to get you a date. No, no, wait a minute. Wait a minute. No, no,

no, no, no. No argument.

A little payback for all the times you bailed me out, remember?

Sophomore dance.

Senior prom.

Senior picnic.

Senior prom.

Okay, okay, I'll chance it. Besides, we always have the same taste in women.

Yeah.

Amy Turlough!

Miles, telephone.

They find me everywhere. Don't move. I'll be right back.

Hey there, Murphy.

Hiya, Phil. Is Miles here yet? I'm supposed to be meeting him and his

for lunch.

Miles is on the telephone.

That's his brother over there.

That's Miles' brother?

Whoa, mix -up at the hospital.

Excuse me, I'm following a hot lead.

Rumor has it you're a Silverberg.

You've got that right. Hi, Josh Silverberg. Murphy Brown.

I know. I guess Miles didn't mention I'd be joining you for lunch today.

It was my idea, actually. I'm so darn fond of Miles that when he said his

brother was coming to town, I just had to meet him.

You're an older brother, right?

Right. One year, eight months.

A year and eight months, that would make you... Twenty -seven.

Twenty -seven?

So, what brings you to our nation's capital?

Business, actually. Research. I'm an attorney working on a case involving

Chemical. Wait a minute.

You're representing the company that's responsible for dumping waste into an

Iowa family's backyard?

No, I'm representing the family.

Not exactly the way to early retirement, but at least I can sleep at night.

I'm doing a lot of legwork here.

Going over contracts with the EPA, getting depositions from experts on

waste. You know, I could give you a name, kind of an underground source.

He's a subversive chemist who's willing to give information on... Dr. Bruce

Janicek, hooker chemical 76 to 79, resigned after Love Canal.

I have his home phone number, if you'd like.

27, huh?

Murphy, you're here.

I see you met my main man, the top guy, the firstborn.

God, I love this. Maybe the two most important people in my life sitting at

same table.

So, what do you think?

She's great.

She's great? Great.

So have you been telling him what a fantastic relationship we have?

It's all about respect, Josh. But Floyd and she make me earn it.

It was around the time of the Ollie North trial that we really broke through

that barrier.

I had to make a very tough decision about her comeback.

Joshua.

Oh, God.

I'm staring at you.

I'm really sorry.

I don't usually do my impression of the village idiot until I really get to know

someone. It's just that I'm really a fan.

I know that sounds corny, but I respect your work so enormously.

Get out of here.

Murphy, did you just giggle? What? You giggled. I never heard you giggle. I

didn't giggle, Miles.

And why didn't you tell me Josh was an environmental lawyer? It's probably the

single most important issue of the decade.

I'm trying to learn as much about it as I can. Well, I'd be more than happy to

spend some time with you, so you know some of the work I've been doing.

Oh, gee, I don't know, Josh. We have a lot of things planned, and with Murphy's

schedule... I would definitely clear time. This could be very helpful, maybe

give me an angle on a story.

Miles made reservations for Sardellas tonight.

You probably have plans, but if you'd like to join us. I'd love to.

If that's okay with you, Miles.

What?

Okay?

Of course it's okay.

Why wouldn't it be okay?

It's extremely okay.

Kind of like a double date. Only nobody's really dating here.

It's just two people going to the same place to eat and talk together.

I love this.

I've always wanted to eat here, Miles.

This is a pretty impressive place to take someone on a blind date.

You know, Audrey, I've spoken to you on the phone so many times over at the

British Embassy.

It doesn't really feel like a blind date.

It feels more like a third date, don't you think?

I don't think we have to mention that it's a blind date.

Oh, okay.

Hey, guys.

Hi,

Miles. Hello.

Let me just introduce everybody.

Josh Silberberg.

Murphy Brown, this is Audrey.

Audrey. Cohen.

Cohen, that's right.

So, I'm getting kind of worried about you guys.

Where were you?

I'm sorry we're late.

Sunset was so beautiful driving over here.

We just had to stop, look at it.

As long as you're safe.

Oh, what is that you got there, Murphy? Some kind of flower?

It's a rose, Miles.

Josh gave it to me.

Oh, that is so romantic.

Do you know that in all the times Miles and I have gone out together, he's never

once bought me flowers?

Although he once had to potted plant when the Aunt Penny died.

A ficus. Got leaf curl.

It's all right now.

Well,

here we all are out together.

This is kind of a first for Miles and me. It's always interesting when you

encounter a co -worker outside of the office.

It's kind of a new look for you, isn't it, Murphy?

Good evening.

Welcome to Sardella's.

May I bring anyone a beverage?

Would you see a wine list, please?

Yes, sir. And may I see some ID, please?

ID?

Are you kidding?

I need to ask the lady and gentleman as well.

No need to see your proof of age, Ms. Brown.

Thank you very much. Here's the wine list, sir.

I'll be back shortly to take your order.

Can you believe that?

He can kiss his tip goodbye.

Oh, here's a nice wine.

Chateau Lacoste, 84.

Oh, it's a Montanito Cabernet 83.

It's a gold medal winner. I think this could be better.

We'll have the Chateau Lacoste.

You like this with you, Audrey?

Oh, yes.

Terrible. One time we got lost trying to find this little restaurant in

Virginia. We drove in circles for hours because he was too stubborn to ask

directions.

It was like that as a kid, too. You know, one time Dad took us to a drive

movie. Well, Miles insisted on going to Snack Bar by himself. Of course, he gets

lost.

Wanders around in his pajamas for an hour trying to find the right car. He's

crying his eyes out. Can we order?

Good idea, honey. I'm starving.

The pastas look incredible, don't they, Murphy?

You want to share a cup? Yeah, that's a great idea. I'd love to.

God, there must be 20 pastas on here. Why do they do that? Four or five good

ones would be plenty.

I wouldn't have to crunch them all up on one page.

Murphy can't see. I can see, Miles. She can't see. It happened to her this year.

Right around her 41st birthday.

You're 41?

Amazing! My mum's 41.

The birthday's in two weeks.

Be sure to send a card, Miles.

Not like last year.

Hello, Murphy.

Do you have a minute? There's something I wanted to say. Because there's

something I... Well... Please.

First off, I wanted to apologize for being such a jerk last night.

You know me as your boss. It becomes somewhat awkward when my personal life

exposed. No apologies necessary, Miles.

I can understand why someone of your authority wouldn't want people to know

once had a blanket named Boo Boo.

What I'm trying to say is...

When a man and a woman are attracted to each other, they should be able to play

the thing out without any interference.

So if you and my brother want to start some kind of relationship, I'm not going

to stand in your way.

I accept it.

No. I encourage it.

Miles, this helps so much.

I'm pretty sure I can deal with the age difference, but I would never want to do

anything to upset our professional relationship.

It means a lot to me.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

The cinematography was so lush, it was like watching a painting. I thought the

score was outstanding. It really enhanced the narrative.

What I want to know is... How did they get the nerve to charge $2 .50 for a

small popcorn?

I don't know, Miles.

Boy, what a great evening.

Great dinner, great movie, great company.

You know, we should go back to that little sushi place we found last night.

tuna roll in D .C.

Okay, 11 o 'clock.

Time for the news.

Come on.

Let's get informed.

Come on, come on, come on.

Oh,

gee.

Talk about this.

I'm sorry.

You probably want to be left alone.

Thank you for understanding, Miles.

Well, great.

I'll just get out of your way.

I'm a man of my word.

I'll just watch TV upstairs.

What do you know? I hear Josh.

Just let me know when you want to go home. Although I should mention I have

be at the office early tomorrow. Hey, Scooter.

Look, I've got to talk to you a minute.

I don't think I need a ride home tonight.

Gee, Josh, don't you think you might be making a pretty big assumption here?

It's okay, Miles.

He doesn't need the ride.

the hell are you doing? It's three o 'clock in the morning.

No, you can't come over. It's not a good time.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Who is it?

Miles.

I got you from my car. I was parked out front.

God, Miles, come in if you're coming in.

I just wanted to tell you I made a decision about something.

I'm definitely going to give you that poindexter interview.

Oh, come on, Miles. You didn't come all the way over here just to tell me that.

There's something you want to say.

Whatever it is, just say it because we've been through too much in the past

to hold anything back.

Yeah, okay. You're right, Murphy.

I feel kind of silly about this, but I hate it that you're dating my brother.

I try to be big about it. I try to be a sport.

But it's just not working.

I'm a small, petty, petty, petty, petty little person.

And I want it to be over. Because you are mine.

M -I -N -E.

Mine.

No.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry. No, I didn't mean it that way.

I just meant... Boy, where do I start?

I have been living under Josh's shadow forever.

He handed me down his clothes.

His school book, his girlfriend.

I spent my entire life trying to prove that I could top him, and I finally did.

I'm running a primetime news show starring Murphy Brown.

I finally carved out my own niche.

And what does he do?

He moves in. He invades my territory.

Why do I feel like the only tree in a kennel?

We've got a big problem here, Miles.

How about I put on some coffee and we see if we can find an answer?

I've said everything I needed to say.

Besides, it's late and you probably want to get back to... sleep.

Josh isn't here, Miles.

He isn't?

He knew when you left here you were upset.

He was so worried he couldn't... concentrate.

So he went out to look for you.

You're kidding.

I couldn't find him anywhere.

I went over to the apartment. I checked over at Phil's. I think we should call

the police.

When he left, he... Where the hell have you been?

I've been here.

Here? What are you doing here?

I can be here if I want. This is unbelievable.

You're here. I'm running around Washington like a crazy person.

You look great.

Don't you know how to use the phone? Don't you know how to leave a note? Why

don't you show a little consideration for me? I don't have to answer to you.

I don't have to do anything that you want me to do. It's exactly like the

you ran away from home. He packed all his things into a little hobo bag, put

on a stick. Oh, will you stop telling those stories? And stop taking care of

Stop trying to outdo me. And stop being six feet tall. Just stop it.

Scooter.

I'm not trying to outdo you.

If anything, I'm just trying to keep up with you.

You can try to push me away all you want, but I'm always going to keep

out for you. That's just the way it is.

I love you, man.

I'm an idiot.

No, you're not.

You're my main man.

The top guy.

My bro.

a place that's open all night. Terrific. We'll get a burger. We'll get some

beer.

You can come too, Murphy.

I'm sick of the Silverberg brothers.

I gotta do this.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What just happened here?

Hey there. Hi there. Who there?

Take that bathroom.

Melvin, what are you doing here? It's three o 'clock in the morning.

Two guys are leaving here in the middle of the night, and you ask me questions.

I got a sudden inspiration.

You know, the ceiling in the guest bathroom needs a mural.

What do you think of this?

The HUD scandal.

An American disgrace.

Eldon, I don't want you to paint now. It's been a rough night.

And besides that, you're a man.

Believe it.

I don't want any men around right now. I don't understand them, and I don't need

them. So you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to start my own country.

Women only.

We'll just have men around to do the electrical and the plumbing.

Maybe we'll have one guy to open jars.

Other than that, men are dispensable.

Eldon, do you think I'm attractive?

You're okay.

But you're no Bridget Nielsen.

I'll open my own jars.
