Original subtitles

You don't think it's too tight around the waist at all? Well, not for a

to cut. Would I lie to you? It's a really stylish suit. Yeah, well, I just

everything to be right. Relax.

Just relax. You're going to make a great presentation.

Come on.

Well, it's not the presentation.

It's... Well, it's this girl that I've been writing to.

Oh, your mother's cousin or something? No, my mother's college roommate's

sister's daughter.

Mary Ellen's decided.

Not for this pen pal business we should meet. It's terrific.

Yeah, it's not so terrific.

She's arriving tonight.

Well, you'll feel different when she gets here.

But just remember what they say, Gerald.

Clothes make the man.

I think I'm going to need a whole new wardrobe.

Just tell Mr.

Randall that the sun's out by. He'll be back about four o 'clock.

Thank you.

I must have recognized you. Me neither, without your bathing suit.

Same old Ted.

I'm sorry.

I guess I still have a few bad habits.

Well, as long as women have curves, you'll have angles.

But we had a great time, didn't we?

Yes, we did.

I never understood why it all ended.

Oh, come on, Ted.

You know as well as I do if there were ever any two people that were wrong for

each other, we were them.

Yeah.

Well, you here on business?

Uh, yeah, partly.

Are you still in? No, not anymore. I'm in marketing now. As a matter of fact, I

have an appointment in a couple of minutes.

But how about dinner?

Oh, thanks, but I'm involved with someone.

Syria?

Very. I should have known. You'd get over me in two years.

Oh, but it was tough, all right.

Well, look, if it doesn't work out, I'm in the book.

No, Mr. Walker, you're the first in your group to arrive.

Let me know as soon as they arrive.

Absolutely.

Just how I like them.

Fat and gorgeous.

You've got to be the average 1 ,200 yards a season.

Which? Fast or gorgeous?

No, Fred, there is no way.

Look, I'm sorry, but we're already shorthanded. Not to mention Jackson's

today. Dave, Dave, okay.

You take the rest of my shift today, and I'll take two shifts for you next week.

Come on, Dave, please. I've got to be somewhere.

Okay. Okay, you got it. Thanks. Listen, I'll make it up to you. I'll make it up

to you.

Hey, Fred.

Just saw one of your old teammates check in.

Walker's with ABC Sports now, isn't he? I don't know.

I guess.

It, uh, looks like he doesn't want to see his old buddies.

Maybe he doesn't want his old buddies to see him.

You remember that game against the Chiefs where Walker games 110 and you

for 130?

No. He got 108. I got 133. Yeah.

You were great. Yeah, right.

I was great.

was still the same guy, but somebody else's need.

Don't you want to see your buddies from the old team?

So their careers lasted a little longer. So what? A little longer? Come on. I

had two good seasons. Perry had 10. Harlow had 12.

They're here for a big banquet, picking up awards. I'm here picking up baggage.

They were your friends.

Winners don't have losers for friends.

I have these pastes here.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No.

I'm going to have these finished in plenty of time for Mrs. Cabot to eyeball

them.

Thank you.

And whenever you're ready. Uh -huh. Have you ever had a schedule anywhere?

Yeah, well, you see, I just want to get as much work out of the way as possible.

Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me. I'm sorry, Christine.

Gee, Gerald, you seem a little edgy.

Too much caffeine.

No, it's nothing, really.

Come on. I know something's bugging you. What is it?

Oh, God.

I have to tell someone.

Mary Ellen, the girl that I had been writing to. Okay.

Well, we've been living this lie.

Well, no, she hasn't, Christine. I have.

Hold it, hold it.

Take it one beat slower.

We only started writing to each other because of my mother and her aunt, Mary

Ellen's aunt. You know what I mean?

I'm beginning to get the picture, yes.

That's it, exactly.

You see, Mary Ellen wanted to exchange pictures. I mean, photographs.

Oh. Well, I think that's wonderfully romantic.

No. It wasn't exactly romantic to send her a photograph of somebody else.

Somebody else?

she is arriving today.

Oh, Gerald, you didn't. I don't know. I just... I just didn't think that

she'd want to have anything to do with someone like me.

Why? You're very attractive.

All right.

So who is the lucky guy?

Me.

You told her you were me?

Well, I was pasting up the annual report layout.

Well, there was this picture of you sitting at your desk.

Well, you're going to have to tell her the truth. You know that, don't you?

You've got to believe me, Mr. McDermott. There is not one word in my letters to

her that isn't the truth. And he'll explain how it was all a mistake,

spend some time together, and she'll get to know the real Gerald.

That's the only way to fix it without hurting her feelings.

What about my feelings when she dumps me?

Why would she do that?

Because she's beautiful.

Oh, she is lovely.

She's gonna hate me.

Come on, she doesn't look like the kind of girl who'd be attracted by anything

as superficial as a... As a pretty face?

Yeah, well, um, I better be going.

Thanks for being so understanding.

Gerald!

Just be honest with her and everything will work out.

Will it?

What?

Work out.

Well, I don't know. How would you feel if you were Mary Ellen?

I'd punch his lights out.

Or... I'd marry the guy.

Okay, it's worth pursuing.

Have you done a break -even analysis?

Come on in, Ted. It's open.

All right, let's go ahead with the offer. I'll be back on Wednesday.

And tell him if he needs me, I'll be in San Francisco at the St. Gregory.

Okay.

Still running hard?

That's the only way I know how.

Business is like an automobile. It won't run by itself. Except downhill, I know.

I know. I shouldn't be lecturing to you.

You're looking good, sir.

Some days are better than others.

I wouldn't be that way if you'd come in with me.

Not now, Dad.

Come on.

Yeah.

Not doing too well, am I?

Been together less than a month, and I feel I have to apologize already.

It's okay.

I shouldn't be so touchy.

Well, how's your mother?

Okay, considering.

I'd give anything in the world to avoid having to put her through all this.

Yeah, right.

No, I mean that. I still care about her.

Yeah. Out of here.

Huh? Oh, it's a conference call.

Can we have dinner later tonight?

Somebody I want you to meet.

Sure.

And we'll have a talk. It's been too long.

Ed, Carter, are you there?

All right, listen, I've been looking over this merger, and it looks to me

it's headed into deep water. I'd say we've passed. Agreed?

All right, how about this real estate thing in Indianapolis?

100 ,000? No.

Give him 50. 50 is the most.

You're right. I'll just keep a stiff upper lip and I'll tell her the truth.

that's the spirit.

Oh, my God.

What? It's her.

She wasn't supposed to arrive until tonight.

What's the difference tonight or now?

Go tell her.

Go tell her.

the schedule. I hope you don't mind.

Gerald, I have been looking all over for you.

Gerald. Oh, you must be Mary Ellen. I've seen your picture. Hi, I'm Christine

Francis. Hi.

And this, this is Peter McDermott.

Huh? Mary Ellen, I hate to do this to you, but I do need Gerald to sign a few

things. Oh, of course, I understand. I'll just get checked in. Good. And I'm

sure Peter will be glad to take you to your room.

Won't you, Peter? Oh, uh, yeah, sure. But, uh, Christine.

I don't think this is such a good... Trust me, we'll work it all out.

Very good looking, isn't he?

Okay, I won't tell her. But Gerald better. Fast.

Tonight. He'll tell her tonight.

Why wait?

Oh, because tonight's when Gerald's gonna have a romantic candlelight dinner

with his lady love.

Oh, he is.

Yes, you are.

It seems so strange to finally be sitting here with you.

Very strange.

It's silly.

It's not as though we don't know each other.

I don't know whether I live up to my picture or not.

You certainly do.

What's the picture?

It was your mind, your thoughts that really attracted me to you.

Really?

Tell me, what was the first thing that made you realize that I was someone you

wanted to know better?

Oh, nursing.

I beg your pardon?

I have a real empathy for people who serve the sick.

Are you still my little peeping Tom?

Excuse me?

Did I offend you when I called you that?

Not really.

I guess when I saw your picture...

Is this you didn't look like the kind of man that creeps around in the woods

peeking at birds?

Oh, the bird watching.

The way I find it very relaxing and satisfying.

You're so sensitive, Gerald.

Oh, she's in love with him. Oh, now don't overreact. It's temporary

The real Gerald is right here. You're the one she loves.

I cannot go through with this, Christina.

Gerald.

It'll take a minute. Once the shock passes... Yeah, yeah, just like the

chair. I'll be dead.

Christine,

I am a coward. Huh?

I cannot stand reality.

What about Peter?

Huh? It's his hand she's holding.

Let me tell you, Ted, I felt titled at home.

Where were you ever at home?

Ted, I am what I am. Now, your mother wanted a nine -to -five husband, and I,

well, I don't know. You wanted a family content to wait around for you.

I'm sorry if I made you unhappy.

You know, your mother and I were able to hash this thing out over a year ago and

remain friends. Can't we do the same?

I'd like to think so. You're still my father.

Maybe I resented you because I envied you.

You always seem to have the guts and the strength to go after everything you

wanted. You could too, Ted.

It's a matter of knowing what you want.

Then I guess I don't know.

You said you'd met someone.

Yes.

Yes, someone who makes me very happy.

Someone I want to marry.

Ted, I just wanted to try to accept her and share my happiness.

I'll try.

That's all I'm asking, son.

Good luck that Oh Darling your timing is perfect

Ted I want you to meet the woman I love

I still can't get over you two already knowing each other. It was a long time

ago.

Isn't that why they say the world is round?

So old friends will always travel back together?

I love your father very much, Ted.

How did you meet?

Same way you two did.

Must have been a pretty wild party.

No, it wasn't.

Actually, the art galleries in Sausalito are really not as sophisticated as they

are in Madison Avenue.

The gallery.

I'll never forget that show.

Your father has been thinking about investing in art, and I told him he

talk to you. How about it, son?

You want to turn that fine arts degree of yours into a little business

proposition?

Why not?

I always preferred the old masters to the old mistresses.

Look, she's a bright, lovely woman, and she deserves better than all these lies.

But she's in love with you.

She's going to hate me.

She's in love with the warm, caring person who wrote her all those beautiful

letters.

But I saw how she looked at you.

A momentary confusion that you're about to rectify before tonight.

Tonight?

She's having dinner again with Gerald, and I'm about to go on a diet.

Do you read me, Gerald?

Yes, sir. Immediately.

Sometime this morning or afternoon.

Now.

You think she'd respond better if I had a beard?

Now!

Hey, Fred.

You sure spending a lot of time avoiding people these days. Look, Billy, I told

you I don't want to talk about it. Hey, tell me something, Fred.

When you were on top, were you too high and mighty to talk to the others? Yeah,

to the guys that failed?

Uh -uh.

I don't judge people like that.

Then why do you assume these guys do?

Maybe I don't. Maybe I'm just judging myself.

For what? You were never a failure.

You want to know the difference between failure and success, Billy? Let me tell

you. It's a thin line between doing something almost right and doing it

right. I can never cross that line then.

I can't cross it now.

Hi. Do you have a minute? I'd like to talk to you.

Sure. I'm just going shopping.

Well, there's something I have to tell you. It's about Gerald.

He's not quite who you think he is.

I know.

He's not exactly what I expected.

Really? It's difficult to pin down.

He's very nice and so handsome.

What if he wasn't so handsome?

What do you mean?

He's not ill?

No, no, no, no, nothing like that.

You sure? You can tell me. No, he's in perfect health, believe me.

Well, I'm glad he isn't hiding anything.

There's one thing I could tell about Gerald, and it's something that I insist

upon in a relationship.

Oh, what's that?

Honesty.

Absolute honesty.

What was it you wanted to tell me?

Oh, ah, I...

I thought maybe you and I could have a drink or something.

I'd love to, Peter.

Right now, I'm going to go buy a dress for tonight.

Tonight? You're having dinner with, uh, Gerald.

I want to show him some style.

And I intend to pick a style that shows a lot of me.

I'd like to talk to you.

Why not? Come on in.

I've got to be at the office in an hour.

I'm surprised.

I expected to find you running an art gallery or something.

No, I don't fight windmills anymore.

Coffee? No, thank you.

Dad was right.

The business of the Travers family is business.

But you wouldn't join his company.

I can make it on my own.

You know what I think?

You're trying to compete with him.

Don't you know there have been three great inventions since the world began?

Fire, the wheel, and father -son competition.

But that's not the way to win his affection.

I gave up on that idea years ago.

Look, I know things haven't been good between you two.

A lot of it is Randall's fault.

But now he's trying to reach out to you.

Can't you meet him halfway?

Is that what you came here to ask me?

Or was it to keep my mouth shut?

What?

He doesn't know about us, does he?

Uh -uh.

I was afraid I'd lose him.

So the perfect relationship was built on a slight omission?

Oh, come on, Ted. That was a six -week affair two years ago.

I loved you.

Ted. Please.

You only think you love me now because your father does.

My father doesn't know how to love or how to give.

Ask my mother.

I'm sorry, but I didn't break up your parents' marriage.

Can't we be friends?

Sure.

We'll all sit in the shade of the old family tree.

And I'll call you mom.

Football's okay. I love football.

But baseball is the only sport where you'll find perfect games on the record

board. You're kidding. There's no such thing. Yeah? Yeah. Tell them at the

Catfish Hunter. Open A's.

May 8th, 1968.

No hits, no walks, no errors, no nothing.

Minnesota didn't know what hit them.

Fred. Freddie Hampton.

Hey, Perry. How you doing?

God. We'll catch you later, Fred. See ya.

Hey, pal. God, it's great to see you. Thank you. Where have you been? I

seen you since the flood.

No, I've been around.

Hey, I've, uh... Caught your act on the tube a couple of times. I didn't know

you could smooth so good. I got lucky. Listen, sitting in the booth doing play

-by -play is a lot easier than getting your brains knocked around on the field.

Yeah, I guess.

You know, Jack and Harlow in town for this shindig. They'll flip when I tell

them you're in.

Well, I work here, you know.

You lucky stiff.

But I love to work in San Francisco.

We've got to round up the old gang and light a few fires. Hey, I've got to pass

on that. I'm pretty busy these days.

But listen, it was nice seeing you. Say hi to everybody for me, will you?

Fred, you okay?

Better than I've ever been.

Seriously, Perry, it was good to see you.

I tried to tell her. I really did.

I'm sorry.

But you and I are going up there now and tell her.

We can't. She's not in her room. I already called. She already called. She

to buy a dress for dinner.

For you.

No dinner.

That's final.

Can I make a suggestion?

We don't need suggestions.

We need to just sit her down and tell her the truth. Well, it may be too late

for that, but I got this great idea.

Whatever it is, absolutely no.

Okay, what is it?

We make it a double date with me and Gerald.

That's brilliant.

I'll sit next to her. She'll get to know me, and then at the right moment, I'll

explain everything.

Right moment was when she first got here.

Oh, come on, Peter.

All this romance needs is your little spark to help it catch fire.

So how come I feel that I'm the one who's going to get burned?

Hmm?

Hmm?

Please come in.

Please.

I'm so glad you could come.

You are?

I needed a man's opinion about my dress for tonight.

And you seem to have such excellent taste, Peter.

I do?

Well, I do.

So... What do you think?

Oh. Well, it's lovely.

Do you think Gerald would approve?

I mean, it's not too salacious or anything.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

It's delicious.

Gosh, any man would be proud to be in that dress with you.

I mean, seen with you in that dress. I'm sorry.

You're very cute, Peter.

If you don't mind me saying so.

No.

Why would I mind? I wouldn't want you to think that I would flirt with one man

when I'm deeply involved with another.

Oh. Oh, no.

Of course not.

I thought I'd come over and talk to my dad.

Sort of clear the air about you and me.

He's having a drink with a client right now.

I wouldn't mind one of those myself.

Sure.

He's a very understanding man, your father.

I wish you could see that side of him. It doesn't bother you, does it?

You slept with me and now you're sleeping with my father.

I think we already had this conversation.

I meant what I said.

I was in love with you.

And suddenly the phone stopped ringing.

I'm sorry, Ted. I think it's time for you to go.

Stand right there.

What?

I want to look at you. Can't I look at you?

Not like that. I don't like it.

You are still beautiful.

I'm really very flattered, but... You know, certain people were just meant to

together.

No matter how far apart they've been or how long it's been since they've seen

each other.

not talking about us.

Don't you remember how it was between us?

Ted! Ted!

What do you want?

Do you want me to tell you that you're better than your father?

Is that the game we're playing?

Since when are you so discriminated?

Hey, Fred.

Those for me?

What's the costume?

Going to a party? No party.

This is me.

I don't get it.

I work here.

At the St. Gregory?

That's great.

I always knew you'd land on your feet.

So what time do you get off?

What do you mean, get off?

Didn't think I'd let you get out of the old team reunion party, did you? I don't

think you understand.

I work here.

I'm a bellman. So?

What's the matter?

You don't get any time off?

Look, I got a wife and a kid. I don't think I got the time.

Bring them.

They'll love it.

Come on, Fred. I want you to come. Let me think about it, all right?

Listen, if you're tired of doing all the heavy blocking, I know something at the

station where you can really run with the ball. Hey, Perry, look, I came over

here to talk to you because I'm tired of hiding in the corners every time you go

by. This is what I do.

I'm not ashamed of it. Easy, Fred.

It's just that there's a sports research job opening up at the network, and I

thought... You just don't get it, do you?

I don't take handouts.

I just don't know what to do, Christine.

I can't hurt his feelings.

Believe me, you won't.

He's kind and attentive, but it's almost like he's only with me out of duty. I'm

actually connecting better with Peter than Gerald. Oh, really?

Okay, everybody.

I think it's time to get it all out.

That's your cue, my friend.

I don't understand what's going on.

Mary Ellen, there's something... Just a minute.

Mary Ellen has something to say that I think is going to simplify everything.

Do I have to now?

It's the right thing to do. You'll see.

I guess so.

Gerald, I hate to sound ungrateful, but I don't think... Excuse me. There's a

call for you, Mr. McDermott.

Thanks, Gino.

McDermott...

Oh.

He called you Mr. McDermott.

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

You mean he... And you're...

I don't believe this.

It was all a joke.

You were laughing at me?

It wasn't like that at all.

Could you hold a moment?

I never dreamed that this would happen. Everything just got out of hand. Did it?

Pick from the stick.

Why not play a game with her? Have some fun.

Well, the game's over.

And you lose.

Sandy? God.

Honey, are you all right? What happened? I'll call the doctor.

No. No, I'm all right. Who broke in? Who was it?

Let it alone.

What are you talking about? Lie down and let me call the doctor.

No, no, no. I told you I'm all right.

Honey, honey, don't just sit there and sit. Tell me. Tell me what happened. Who

was it? No.

Calling the police.

No, don't!

Would you just give me one minute?

I think the joke's over, Peter.

Gerald, whatever your name is. That photograph that I sent you was just an

impulse. A dumb impulse. You seriously expect me to believe that?

Okay.

Okay, maybe you think that I could be that cruel, but Peter and Christine

never go along.

Don't you know that?

Maybe I do.

But that just makes you more...

Didn't you ever stop to think about the consequences of what you were doing?

No.

All I could think of was that nobody as lovely as you could ever like anyone

like me.

Well, you were wrong.

The only thing I can't possibly like is a man who thinks so little of himself.

I'm sorry.

Your super let me in.

Cost me 50 bucks.

Is she okay?

You don't even know what you did.

You don't even know. Lucy!

I don't know what happened to me.

My son. God, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Sorry doesn't make it.

I'd have killed you if I'd have been there.

No, it was a shock. I was thinking of her with you. I'm sorry.

Sorry you raped her? I didn't. You didn't?

You've got to believe me, I would have never gone through with that.

Oh, my God.

How could you stoop so low?

You're despicable.

Well, Father, I guess I finally got you to feel something. Don't you try to

twist that around. Don't even try.

No, no, you're the expert at that.

I didn't want to hurt Sandy, but I wanted her.

Maybe I stopped when I realized I'd already had her.

Is that all we're going to have between us? You just competing with me for

everything, including my wife?

Well... I guess we finally made some progress, haven't we, Father?

That's the first time you've touched me in years.

Hi. Mary Ellen Carson, room 527.

I'd like you to prepare my bill. I'll be checking out right after breakfast.

Mary Ellen.

Mary Ellen. I know what you're going to say. Do you?

Do you know that I'm responsible for this whole mess? Did Gerald ask you to

that? No.

He was going to tell you everything as soon as you arrived.

If you hadn't seen Peter and if I hadn't stuck my nose in.

Did all kinds of things tangled up?

Stay and untangle it.

Gerald's painfully shy, but he's a good man.

You're forgetting he sent that picture.

So you'll remember his lie the rest of your life and you'll forget the truth in

ten minutes? What truth?

He loves you.

I'm sorry.

It's too late.

Excuse me. The bell captain said Fred Hampton was up here?

Yeah, I just saw him down the hall, to the right.

Thanks.

I'm glad I tracked you down. I want to talk to you. Hey, I'm all talked up.

Look, man, I'm not offering you the moon just to start. You have to do the rest.

And if you could shake that chip, I think you'll do fine. Hey, Perry, I

appreciate the thought. I do, really. Just trying to get you back in the

Yeah, so I can ride for a fall again.

Hey, Freddy.

Since when were you afraid of taking a couple of hits? Hey, Perry, leave me a

little bit of pride, will you please?

I'm trying to give you some back. No, you can't give a man pride.

You're right.

He can only do that for himself.

I've made a terrible mess out of everything.

Well, she'll come around.

You have to tell her you only did this ridiculous thing because you cared so

much. Well, I tried, but she hates me because she says I hate myself.

Well, then obviously you have to adjust your image.

Oh, plastic surgery.

Now, in here, you've got to start loving yourself, Gerald, if you want it to rub

off. That's what she was saying. Let me tell you something about women.

Anything.

No means maybe.

She wants you to take charge.

Oh.

Sweep her off her feet.

Exactly.

I'll do it.

Have you been? I've been looking all over for you.

Did you find him?

Yes. I think I may have learned something.

Really?

Did the two of you come to some kind of conclusion that you'd like to share with

me? I guess I haven't been much of a father.

I see.

So that makes it okay for Sonny to attack me.

I didn't say that. What he did is unforgivable.

But you forgave him.

If I forgive him, I have to forgive myself, and I'm not quite ready for

I'm as guilty as he is.

I guess I should have told you everything from the beginning.

But I was afraid.

Of what?

That you'd be jealous.

You're right, I would have been.

You see, I'm no better than Ted.

I'm truly sorry.

I love you so much.

Can we outlive all of this?

I don't know.

I talked to Perry.

This job could be a whole new ball game for you. Let it be, Billy. Yeah.

If I could let this kind of thing be, I'd still be doing time for the man.

What, you were in prison?

And when the door of opportunity opened, I was grateful to the friend who oiled

the hinges.

You don't get it, do you?

Look, I can't cut it anymore. I haven't played in Perry's league in years. Not

in football, not in life. So just play it safe, right? Nice, warm, safe job

carrying bags.

Hey, I gotta make a living. Ain't that the truth? You wouldn't know the truth

a bitch in a jockstrap. Get off my back!

Yeah. Hey, why not?

You didn't just fail, Fred.

You're actually happy with failure.

They're all set.

Well, I'm not.

Gerald, I don't... Sit down.

No, you're not. Not until you hear what I have to say.

Sit down.

All right, look.

I don't like lies.

And I don't like secrets.

But it's no secret that I am not going to win any Robert Redford look -alike

contest. Right?

So, uh, I got desperate.

What would you do if you had fallen in love with some really terrific person

then you were afraid you're going to lose her?

I would write her all the beautiful things you did.

And tell her that you love her.

And forget about what you look like.

Really? What do you think she'd say when she sees the real me?

That she loved you long before she saw you weren't a Robert Redford lookalike.

Exactly. She... And she thinks you're just wonderful.

She... She does?

Would you please take my bags off the bed?

Are you still going?

No.

I just think we have some communicating to catch up on first.

We'll get the ball on our own two, and I get the handoff three yards deep in the

end zone. But wait, there was no time on the clock, and he lent us the ball to

me. I must have run 150 yards back and forth until I finally saw daylight.

Fred Hampton. Who are you looking?

It's Freddy!

Old number 32 on the pledge. How you doing? Jack.

Carlo.

Are you a sight for these old eyes?

I'm real glad you could make it.

Thank you, ma 'am.

Well? We got a lot of catching up to do.

If I'm not too late, I'm interested.

That's my man.

Well, come on. What are we standing around here for? Let's go.

You're not too bashful to take a bow if I throw the spotlight on you, are you?

No. As a matter of fact, I'd be real proud.

Maybe this isn't the right time. I had come up here once before. I would like

say what I should have said then.

It's all right.

There are going to be times when you get to thinking about Sandy and me, and I

want to tell you how it was.

I'm listening.

Sandy and I saw each other for about six weeks. I don't know whether she walked

away from me or I walked away from her. Either way, it's over.

So what do you want?

You won.

I lost.

Isn't that our whole problem, Ted?

No, Dad.

Maybe it's just my problem.

I don't think we'll be seeing much of each other from now on until I can

out what is going on in my head.

I'm very sorry, Sandy.

You still haven't found Gerald.

Well, let's just say I have a pretty good idea where he's hiding out. Oh?

Mary Ellen was supposed to vacate at one today.

I do believe she stayed on for the weekend.

Must have been a good reason.

Well, you're not feeling rejected, are you?

What do you mean by that? Well, her giving you up for Gerald.

Oh, you mean I'm not Gerald tonight?

I thought I was booked for dinner.

Well, you weren't so shy, Gerald.

You'd probably do a lot better with your social life. Oh, you mean the best

approach is straightforward and honest.

Can't go wrong.

Well, what are you doing for dinner?

Why don't you send me a picture?

And a resume.
