Well Mary, What do you think?

It really is charming!

Why are we showing her the apartment?

Aunt Mary's gonna be living here. Right upstairs.

She's not my Aunt!

Right. I'm not your aunt, but...

Your mother and I are friends for a long time...

Bess is right. Mary.

We try to be very truthful.

You're not her aunt!

Right, Bess! I'm not.

Phyllis, I just love it!

This was gonna be Aunt Rhoda's apartment.

Who's Aunt Rhoda?

That dumb girl upstairs that Bess likes.

She's not your aunt!

Dumb Rhoda wanted this apartment, so I signed a year's lease for you.

Before I even saw the place?

Come see the view!

Aunt Rhoda!

Oh that dumb awful girl!

I'm gonna get the owner.

Aunt Rhoda is really fun, but Mom hates her.

You want...

- Gimme a hand! - Sure.

Thank you.

You're Rhoda?

Morganstern.

And I'm Mary Richards.

Hello. Get out of my apartment!

I don't know the details but when Phyllis gets back, we can talk.

I don't talk to her and besides, this is my apartment.

Would I be washing your Windows? No, this is my apartment.

I paid a month's salary for new carpeting.

I don't know you. I did it for me!

A month's salary?

- The owner's out but... - Why did you let her in?

I can't take this apartment. She bought new carpeting.

That's old carpeting.

- You lied to me? - You bet I lied.

You want the truth?

This is gonna be my apartment!

I'll tell you why Mary needs this apartment.

No!

Tell me!

A romance just blew up in her face.

No, I made the decision.

I dated this man for 2 years, and... Now I'm telling her.

For 2 years through his internship at the hospital, she supported him.

Phyllis, Stop!

He promised when he became a doctor, they'd get married.

Phyllis, please stop!

After 2 years... Tell her what he said!

He said... "Why rush into things?"

She's starting a new life. She needs this apartment.

Compared to me, that's Disney!

Now get out! I'm gonna wash My Windows.

You can stay with us tonight.

I have some job interviews...

- We'll settle this tomorrow! - It's already settled!

You, Out!

- You think I'm a pushover? - Yeah.

You're in for a surprise because if you push me...

I'm gonna push back hard.

Come on! No you won't!

I know.

Excuse me, I'm supposed to see...

Pardon, Could you...

Excuse me!

Hello!

- Hello. - Hello.

- I need to see Mr Grant for a job. - It's been filled.

Since she came to see Mr Grant, let him handle it.

- Right this way. - It's been filled.

Do you know when Mr Grant will be back?

- I'm Mr Grant - You're back!

I'm gonna have a drink and I'd like some company.

- Want one? - No Thanks

I'd like some company!

Alright, I'll have a Brandy Alexander.

- How about some coffee? - That's fine.

- Has the job been filled? - Yeah.

But there is another job.

I figured I'd hire a man, but we can talk about it.

Well, Good!

You live in my favorite neighborhood.

Really? I just moved in. Is it nice?

The best bars in town are there!

- How old are you? - Thirty.

Oh, you didn't hedge!

Why hedge?

How old do I look?

Thirty.

What religion are you?

Mr Grant you're not allowed to ask me that.

It's against the law.

- Wanna call a cop? - No.

Good. Would you think I was violating your civil rights

if I asked if you're maried.

Presbyterian.

I'd rather answer your religion question.

- Divorced? - No.

- Never married? - No

Why?

Do you type?

There's no simple answer to that question.

Yes there is: "No, I can't type" or "Yes, I can".

There's no simple answer to why a person isn't married.

- How many reasons are there? - 65.

Words per minute. My typing question.

Would you answer my questions in order?

Yes, but you've been asking personal questions...

that don't relate to this job.

You know what?

You got Spunk!

I hate spunk!

I'll try you out for 2 weeks.

If I don't like you, I'll fire you. If you don't like me, I'll fire you.

That seems fair. What's the job?

- Associate Producer. - Associate...

- Something wrong? - No.

Associate Producer!

The job pays $10 less than the secretary job.

That's fine.

If you can get by on 15 less a week,

I'll make you Producer.

No, I can only afford "Associate Producer".

You start tomorrow.

That's just wonderful!

...so, I'll see you tomorrow!

Associate Producer!

- You're doing great. - Thanks Mom.

- Phyllis, Are you there? - Just a second.

My key doesn't work.

I changed the lock because of Rhoda.

I got a job!

I interviewed for secretary, and

What's the matter?

Your furniture arrived!

Oh, Great!

About the job...

I was late and...

- Something's still the matter? - Bess arranged it foryou.

Bess, it looks great! I really like it.

The job is at WJM-TV in the newsroom.

It's not as important as it sounds...

Didn't I thank Bess enough?

I have some shattering news, but it can wait.

Tell me about your job.

I'm associate producer. What's the news?

Well, I got a call today. I was on the phone 45 minutes.

Guess what?

Your boyfriend's coming.

That was mother's news!

Bill's coming?

I know you wanted to tell her, but that was mother's news.

Bill is coming? Phyllis!

Yes, Bill's coming tomorrow night.

- I know exactly how you feel. - I don't know how I feel.

Well I do. Come on Bess!

I liked arranging the furniture.

It's the least we could do after what you've been through.

Did mother tell you Exactly what I've been through?

Everything!

What is your furniture doing in my apartment?

This is My apartment!

So you changed the lock?

You told me you lived here.

- Who's he? - A locksmith.

Thank you! Goodbye!

I'm not going along with this.

If this is her place, I helped you break in.

That's exactly what you did!

Even if you did. Who cares?

- Let me see your license! - What?

I want to know who you are.

I'm not gonna show you my driver's license.

In that case, I'm gonna memorize yourface.

Small mole, left cheek.

You see I've moved in. Would you leave?

How can you look that good in the morning?

Look, I have a new job today so...

Where'd you get that nightie from? Tricia Nixon?

So if you don't mind...

I hear your doctor boyfriend's coming tonight. Bess told me.

Mary, I hope everything works out for you.

- I really do. - Well, thanks.

Because if it does, you'll move out and this will be mine.

Rhoda!

I left New York because I couldn't find an apartment.

I'm not leaving Minneapolis for the same reason.

In spite of everything, you're hard to dislike.

It's hard to hate you too. We'll have to work on it.

Somebody get Ted Baxter in here!

- I'll do it. - He'll do it.

Somebody means him.

Mr Grant, could you find something for me to do?

I'm too busy to keep you busy.

Why did he hire me?

Maybe he was drunk.

Hi.

The Mastroianni of Minneapolis newscasters.

Thanks.

It's not a compliment. He can't speak English either.

Hi!

You haven't met me. I'm Ted Baxter, The Anchorman.

I'm Mary Richards. The new, uh...

Wonderful.

I told Lou we needed a new one.

Welcome to my 6 O'clock news team.

Baxter, Knock it off!

Come on! Let's go!

Just a moment.

Mr Grant, your wife is calling from the airport.

She's going to her sister's for a month.

I'll speak to her when she gets back.

Murray, give me that list of words that Baxter mispronounced last night.

- Look at the top one. - The top one.

Chicago?

Come on fellas!

And take that bib off!

Last night he wore it halfway through the show.

Newsroom, Miss R...

Bill?

Hi! When did you get into town?

Right, I'm here in the newsroom.

Associate Producer. Believe that?

Yeah. They're keeping me busy.

No, not too busy to talk.

How long will you be in town?

Sure, drop over tonight!

It'll be good seeing you too.

Bye, Bill.

You changed the room!

I thought it was nice the way Bess arranged it.

I just switched a couple things.

It's your apartment... until you're married anyway.

Bill coming here doesn't mean we're getting married.

- I wanna see you married. - Me too!

Because I'm married...

I know how beautiful it can be.

It means sacrifice, unselfishness, denying your ego.

Sublimating, accomodating, surrendering.

- Phyllis? - Say it.

You're hurting my hand.

Sorry!

- Remember what I told you. - I will.

Believe me. I know about marriage.

Coward!

Hi!

Nice place!

It's beginning to shape up.

A lot of the furniture hasn't arrived.

Curtains at the window will help, and...

I really don't know why you're here Mr Grant.

Well, I was in the neighborhood...

visiting one of my favorite spas.

My wife left today.

She's gonna be away for a whole month.

Now I know why you're here.

Yes, Miss Associate Producer.

He said he'd find something for you to do.

You didn't get the job because of your personality.

You got a great caboose!

You got the job because of your great caboose.

It's not as great as my wife's. She's got the best caboose ever.

She left today.

She's gonna be away a whole month, and I miss her already.

I miss her so much...

I am going to write her a letter, and tell her.

- Good. - Where's yourtypewriter?

Ljust moved in, and I'm not sure where everything is.

There's the portable devil.

There's a whole slew of typewriters at the office.

Yeah!

Wouldn't you be more comfotable there?

No!

My Dearest.

How are you?

Fine!

How are you?

I'm fine... No, I'm not.

That's my boss... down at the newsroom.

Is there a big news story here?

No, he's writing to his wife.

I miss you more than...

Where did you get roses in winter?

Roses in winter! That's beautiful!

You don't want to read that, Mary.

Why? Did you have a weak moment and get mushy?

- No, it's just that... Gimme! - Too late!

Get Well Soon Uncle Buddy! Love Gloria & Milton.

I got them from a patient at the hospital.

I didn't steal them.

I promised Uncle Buddy a free nose- job.

I don't know about you, but I don't like being in separate towns.

Hey, I don't know about you...

It's a little difficult to talk with...

Is it possible to get him out?

"All my love, Lou"

ALL MY LOVE, LOU.

Hey, I am finished!

I think I'll go tie one on!

That's a weird boss you've got.

I think that's kind of sweet. A man misses his wife so much.

You just couldn't wait, could you?

- Couldn't wait for what? - To bring up "Marriage".

Well, I've waited 2 years. That's not "Couldn't Wait".

That's "Waiting".

Ok, you're right and I'm wrong. No need to talk about it anymore.

That's not why I'm here.

Why are you here?

Well, I haven't seen you in a month.

You didn't think the only reason that I was here was to...

No! I'm here because I... I love you.

How come I never noticed that before?

That I love you?

That you don't say that very well.

Something kind of...

catches in there. And it doesn't come out too well.

Well maybe you can give me some lessons.

That, you say very well.

Mary, We have the whole night ahead of us.

We're getting hung up on words! Why don't you get us out of this.

You say everything so well.

No, I don't. I say a lousy Goodbye.

Hi!

Have you got a stamp?

Mary, did you just say, Goodbye?

- Yes. - That's what I thought you said.

Yeah well... I'll see you.

Take care of yourself.

I just did.

Bye!

This is a Christmas Seal.

- Is that a stamp? - Yes it is. Thank you.

That Guy! You didn't lose much.

But he sure did. He missed out on the best wife!

It's funny how you can see things differently in just 2 weeks.

I could've married him.

Can you imagine what that would've been like?

Everytime I'd get flowers, I'd wonder if he stole them from Uncle Buddy.

If I were you, I'd find out what Uncle Buddy was sick with.

You know I'm really lucky. I am so lucky.

- You feel good now? - Yeah.

No, I feel rotten.

But Lucky!

About the job, I'll find plenty for you to do tomorrow.

- Thank you Mr Grant. - If I show up.

Hi!

If that's Bill, you didn't lose much.

That's what everyone says.

- It didn't work out? - Did Bess tell you?

No, I figured it out myself.

I got this sensitivity.

And you got this heating duct that goes up to my apartment.
