All language subtitles for 087 - Love Is Blonde

Hello, I'm Murphy Brown, and you must be
my new... Ms. Brown, I'm Chip Clark.

I just want to say that I'm an extremely
qualified secretary with excellent

skills, although I've never been able to
hold on to a job, and I don't know why

that is.

Gee, Chip, this is just a shot in the
dark, but do you suppose it could have

anything to do with the hairstyle or the
mustache?

In what way?

Did you happen to read the copy of
Will's book that Corky gave you? Will's

You mean the story of a little Dutch boy
so full of love he gave Paul Revere's

horse the will to live, thereby sparking
the American Revolution?

I'd rather pass a kidney stone.

I was desperate for something to read
last night. It was either this or the

Ollie North book, and I thought this
would be more believable.

I got so caught up in the story that I
had to force myself to stop reading at 3

a .m. Does anybody know how it ends? I
can't help you, Murph. I'm using my copy

as a bumper guard in my garage.

If I hit the book, I know I'm too close
to the wall.

Good morning, news brethren.

Before we start our busy day... You
didn't happen to read Will's novel, did

No. Audrey's using it to press Maple
Leafs.

Now, before we start our morning
meeting, I just want to take a moment to

a few thoughts I had on my way to work
this morning.

Now, I was thinking about our parents
and how hard they worked and how much

fortunate we are to have a job we love
and to be paid so well. Hold on a

He's up to something.

Look at my business.

Dear Lord, it's the annual sponsor's
mixer.

I knew it. I knew it. I should have gone
with the good news, bad news routine,

but I tried something a little
different. So sue me, okay?

Look, the mixer is this Sunday night,
and attendance is mandatory.

We are in a recession, and it's
important now more than ever to keep our

sponsors happy.

Which reminds me...

No horsing around with the sponsor's
products like you did last year? Hey,

not my fault. You put me, cat food, and
pate in the same room and something's

bound to happen.

Miles, I'm so sorry I'm late for the
meeting, but security just called and

my husband's on his way up.

I thought Will wasn't due back from his
book tour until tonight.

He's surprising me. Isn't that sweet?

We haven't seen each other for six
weeks.

I have such a romantic evening planned.

Soft candlelight.

Something frilly from Victoria's Secret?

Pork chops.

What do you do with the pork chops?

Special delivery from Miss Sherwood
Forrest.

Bunny Buster!

Hi.

Well, hi. Long time no see.

Great book. How does it end?

Oh, sweetheart, this is such a wonderful
surprise. Oh, I just couldn't wait to

see it, so I took an early flight. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Big surprise. We're all

thrilled. What about it?

Oh, hi, Murphy. What about it? How does
it end?

Well, the Americans win the revolution.

I know that. What happens to the horse?
Oh, sorry, Murphy. I'm not getting away

with the ending. You'll just have to
read it yourself.

Or wait for the movie to come out.

The movie?

Warner Brothers decided to make a movie
of it.

explain to you why I have to catch
another flight for L .A. this afternoon.

See, they want to meet on this first
thing in the morning. They're making

film their number one priority.

Sweetheart, they're talking Macaulay
Culkin for the role of Honus, the little

Dutch boy.

But, Will, I had a big night planned.

Candlelight. And pork.

I know, sweetheart, and I'm
disappointed, too, but it'll just be a

weeks and then i i promise our lives
will finally be back to normal really

you've been promising me that for over a
year first you had to finish your novel

then you had to find a publisher then
the book tour happened now it's

This is the biggest break of my life.

You have your career. Why are you trying
to stand in the way of mine?

I'm not standing in your way, Will.

I was just hoping to get a little bit of
your attention.

But I guess you've made your choice.

Corky.

with you people. Why are you just
sitting here? The sponsors are going to

you don't care about them. They're
right.

I'll mingle for a while, Miles.

Thank you, Corky. You see?

And a child shall lead them.

So what are you doing? Get out there and
schmooze.

Dear Lord, Miller Redfield. I heard he
was back at the network. Back

like a bad flu. Not only is he back,
He's living my worst nightmare. He's

the weather on the morning show.

Serves him right. You cross picket lines
and steal anchor jobs and you get what

you deserve.

It gets worse. I hear he's working with
a puppet.

A dog wearing a sombrero called Señor
Cold Front.

Maybe he'll have some fun at this party
after all.

Oh, Miller, over here.

Well, well, well.

If it isn't Tweedledee and Tweedledum
and somebody else.

wanted to congratulate you on your new
job. And your new partner must be quite

challenge working with Felt. Who's your
agent?

Geppetto?

Hi, Steve Arnold, Ace Parkluck. How are
they doing?

You're Miller Redfield, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Perhaps you saw my special report on the
aphid crisis in Kuala Lumpur.

No, but I love your puppet.

Where is he? Yeah, where is he?

Oh, he's...

He's here, but this really isn't a good
time. He's sleeping.

Come in.

I spend $14 million annually advertising
on this network.

Wake his fuzzy little dog butt up.

Whoops, I think I hear him stirring.

Over here.

Here they are, guys.

I want you to meet one of FYI's newest
sponsors.

Mr. Charles Calaruso, founder of Sparkle
Flush, the nation's number one toilet

bowl cleaner.

Mercy Brown, I'm a big fan, big fan. I
wonder if we might have our picture

later. Well, certainly, Mr.

Calaruso, was it? It would be a
pleasure.

Yeah, pleasure, all right.

Captured on film for eternity with Mr.
Toilet Bowl Cleaner. A hair like that,

should be Mr. Toilet Bowl Scrubber.

Boy, she really is pregnant.

Pregnant and unmarried.

Maybe I'd better buy time on Quantum
Leap instead.

Corky, hi.

Miller Redfield.

We worked together once.

Like I wouldn't remember.

You're too kind.

Mind if I join you?

Yes. Thank you.

How come you're here by yourself
tonight?

I'm not even supposed to be here.

I should be having a romantic dinner
with my husband right now.

Instead, he's in Hollywood and I'm
alone.

Being alone is lonely.

I know.

Here I am in Washington and all I have
is this puppet.

It's really not the way I thought my
life would go.

Seems like nobody gives you the chance
to be something you're not, but you know

you could be if you weren't stuck being
what you already know you are.

I know exactly what you mean.

People think they know how you are, so
you never get to be what they don't know

you are.

Boy, you can say that again.

People think because you're on TV, your
life is one big party.

Some party. You know what I did last
Saturday night?

I refilled all the little shampoo
containers in my travel kit.

You know, sometimes being alone with
someone makes being alone not so bad.

That's very profound, Miller.

Did you just make that up?

Yeah.

Boy, that did sound good.

Try to remember. You might want to use
it again.

Sometimes being... Sometimes when... No,
it's gone.

5 % as a five -year guarantee.

You wear it out, we replace it free of
charge.

I'll bet I could go broke with you.

Five -year guarantee, you say?

Oh, great.

Another sponsor coming on to me.

Don't do it, Fontana. Remember what
happened three years ago with the Jiffy

lady?

We have regular, firm, and extra firm.

You've got extra firm written all over
you.

Dear Lord.

Any minute, the woman's jaws are going
to unhinge and she'll eat me alive.

I have a factory showroom not far from
here.

Maybe you'd like to drop by later for a
little midnight madness sale.

Oh, God.

It's the Jiffy Lube lady all over again.

And five Saturday nights ago, I cleaned
out the grill under my refrigerator.

Five Saturdays ago, I... Oh, yeah.

Never mind.

Don't laugh, all right? I rented a
movie.

Old Yeller.

I love that movie!

Maybe because when I was growing up, I
couldn't have a dog.

My sister was allergic.

Oh, see, I never had any brothers or
sisters. That's why I've always wanted

have a family. Two kids. A boy and a
girl.

Wow.

Out of all the combinations you could
possibly have, we both want the same

thing.

She's looking at me.

Do I have food on my face?

Now let's see him do the barometric
pressure in Portland while you drink a

of water.

No problem.

Oh, senor, what do you have to do to get
a drink of water around here?

Set yourself on fire?

They love that.

Puts.

Why did we all hate him so much?

I can't believe I've been talking to
Corky for hours and she hasn't gotten up

and left.

I feel like I can tell her anything.

Just don't be an idiot and tell her you
had your gin done.

Gee, it looks like everyone's left.

I guess I should be going. I don't want
to keep you.

But maybe there's time for one more cup
of coffee.

Oh, gee, where did the evening go?

We'd like to go on playing all night,
but unfortunately this is going to have

be our last dance.

Disco Inferno.

That's my song.

I love that song.

I got to dance.

You too, Corky.

Miller's a terrific dancer.

He knows all the good moves, and it
comes so easily to him.

And pivot, and turn, and two, and one,
and point, and turn.

That's okay.

I'll just leave her a note.

Did we go to school together?

Bella, what are you doing here?

Corky, we have to talk about the kiss.

It was a terrible thing.

I was up all night thinking about it.

All I can figure is that I was feeling
hurt because of my fight with Will, and

threw myself at you.

No, no, no, Corky, this is all my fault.
I don't know what came over me.

You have to believe that I would never
make a play for another man's wife,

especially if she's married.

So we both have excuses.

That still doesn't make what happened
right.

No, no, it doesn't.

But all we did was kiss.

It was just one kiss.

And we were standing at the time.

That's true.

A standing kiss isn't the worst in the
world.

You know, it can be our secret.

Friends should have secrets.

That is, if you think we can still be
friends.

It would seem silly not to.

To friendship?

Friendship.

Corky and me.

I. Me.

But in my office, that makes it about
me. I. Me.

Corky, I love you. Stop that!

That second kiss said it all. Tell me
you didn't feel it, too.

I don't know how I feel.

My head is spinning.

It's probably so repulsed it's trying to
twist itself off your body.

Corky, we have to talk.

Things can change.

What if she weren't married?

Murphy, I know you don't understand
this, and I'm not sure I

do either, but that second kiss must
have meant something,

and I think I owe it to myself to find
out what.

That's why I have to go with him now.

Read it and weep.

Let's get out of here, Corky.

We'll take a drive up the coast.

Is there a coast around here anywhere?

God. I'm two chapters away from the end
of this book, and I'm never going to

find out what happens to the damn
Porsche.

Corky, what are you doing here?

Murphy, you have to help me.

Why do I have to help you? Ever since
you left my office, I've been haunted by

the image of you, Miller, and that
puppet in some sort of grotesque menage

trois.

Nothing happened between us, Murphy.
Neither of them laid a hand on me.

But I feel so guilty because something
could have happened.

except the word affair and puppet.

Two words I never even thought I'd use
in the same sentence.

I'm so confused.

I'm married.

How can I be attracted to someone else?

I don't know, Corby. I'm not good at
this stuff.

Isn't there some all -night radio show
you can call?

Excuse me, but the woman is in pain
here.

Now, it seems to me that if you're
attracted to someone else...

There must be something missing in your
life, like a passion or a feeling of

discovery that's obviously been lost
from your marriage, if it was ever

It was.

Well, then you have a decision to make.

Now, I've only met your husband once,
and I don't even know this Miller guy,

I would have to say the most intriguing
choice here is the puppet.

Can you forget the puppet? Look, Corky,
what you're experiencing is some

irrational craving.

It's like me and Almond Rocha. I know
it's bad for me, but some days I just

to have it. It's the same with you and
Miller.

The momentary pleasure would be great,
but then all you're left with the next

morning is a bunch of empty wrappers and
a bed full of crushed nuts.

Okay.

I'm going to end it with Miller.

You see? That wasn't so hard.

But there's just one thing.

Will you tell him he's out in the car?

What?

I can't do it. I'm weak when I'm around
him. Oh, come on, Corky.

He's going to take it very hard.

It might even destroy him.

Oh. Well, why didn't you say so? Let's
get the old boy in here.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. But if you really want to
help, you should stay out of it. You

it's very important that she tell him
herself.

Otherwise... She's not confronting the
problem. She's just painting over bad

plaster.

He's right.

I hate that.

You have to do this on your own, Corky.

But it's my house. I get to watch.

Oh, Miller, could you come in here for a
second?

He's at the curb playing I've Got Your
Nose with the cat next door.

That's far enough.

I have rules about my house.

No smoking, no eating anything that
could stain my carpet, no Miller in the

public area. Murphy! Oh, okay, but only
as far as the foyer.

Miller, I have something very difficult
to tell you.

Something you may not understand.

Does it involve math?

No, Miller.

I really like being with you.

But the past 24 hours have been very
confusing.

I've said certain things.

Certain things that with a clearer head,
I never would have said.

Do you sort of understand what I'm
getting at?

Yeah, sort of.

No.

She wants to save her marriage and she
wants you out of the picture.

But you have to tell him.

I'm sorry, Miller.

But when I got married, I took a vow.

For better or for worse.

And even though things now seem worse
with Will and better with you, if I'm

going to be true to my vows, then to be
worse with Will is really better than

being better with you.

What?

I understand.

What the hell was that?

Esperanto?

Corky, I wish I could think of something
to say that would change your mind, but

for the first time in my life, words
fail me.

So I'll give you what you want.

I'll go. Bye -bye.

But before I go, I just want to say that
I know in my heart of hearts someday

we'll be together.

And until that day comes, I'll be
waiting.

I'll wait for you as long as it takes.

I'll wait until the Berlin Wall comes
down if I have to.

You did the right thing.

Did I?

I always believed that when you got
married, you'd never be attracted to

else. But I was.

And how do I know it won't happen again?

You don't. There's no guarantees in
life.

It isn't easy being an adult.

I'm just glad I have a friend like you.

You don't have to thank me.

I'm just glad that in some small way, I
was able to help.

Well, what do you say we call it a
night?

Oh, Murphy, I need a ride home.

Oh, for God's sake, are you trying to
suck me dry?

Oh, all right.

Jeez, when he said he'd wait for you, he
really meant it.

I don't know.

Let's give him a few minutes. Maybe
he'll forget why he's out there and

So, Corky, it looks like I'm not going
to finish Will's book tonight, and I'm

dying to know what happens to the horse.

Why don't you just tell me?

Are you sure you don't want the pleasure
of reading it yourself?

No, I want to know now.

What happened to the horse?
