Hello, New Jersey!
348
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:36,585
Don't I get a hello?
349
00:21:37,421 --> 00:21:38,504
Hello, Gillian.
350
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:41,924
Kiss me. I'm gonna be
your wicked stepmother.
351
00:21:45,262 --> 00:21:46,304
There you go.
352
00:21:46,471 --> 00:21:48,014
Hello. And who is this?
353
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:51,809
Nanny Maureen. I brought her in case
you couldn't handle the kids.
354
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:54,061
Maureen's getting a divorce.
355
00:21:54,313 --> 00:21:56,564
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
356
00:21:57,232 --> 00:22:00,568
It's my own fault.
Never marry a man who lies.

[GIGGLES]
358
00:22:02,112 --> 00:22:05,072
That is so wise. Annabel, remember that.
359
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,991
She taught Matt to spell his name.
360
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:08,409

-Let's hear it.
-F-O-X.
362
00:22:10,245 --> 00:22:11,454
Excellent!
363
00:22:11,913 --> 00:22:15,082
Excellent. I've got this covered.
You can have the day off.
364
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:18,961
And you must be late for something.
Volunteering, rolling bandages...
365
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:20,671
...for Bosnian refugees.
366
00:22:20,922 --> 00:22:23,966
I am. I'm having my eggs harvested.
367
00:22:25,635 --> 00:22:28,596
And getting those eggs harvested.
Don't worry! See you later.
368
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:30,264
-Bye, Maureen! Bye, Gillian!
-Bye!
369

MATTHEW:
Bye, Mom.
370
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:35,686
All right, you guys, are you ready
to go out on the boat?

-No!
-No!

00:22:37,105 --> 00:22:39,440
What happened to you? What happened?
373
00:22:55,123 --> 00:22:56,457
Come on, one more time.
374
00:22:56,666 --> 00:22:58,334
Here, you can do that one.
375
00:23:00,962 --> 00:23:02,171

ANNABEL: How are the fish doing?
-Very well, I think they're very happy.
380
00:23:55,142 --> 00:23:56,267
-Are they?
-Yes.
381
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:58,269
You guys want to go to a movie?
382
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:00,187
ANNABEL:
No, there's nothing good playing.
383
00:24:00,355 --> 00:24:02,690
Look! A storybook lady.
384
00:24:03,233 --> 00:24:06,277
Are we at the right time? Yeah, let's go.
385
00:24:06,653 --> 00:24:08,946
"That it was I and I alone...
386
00:24:09,156 --> 00:24:12,950
...who had the idea for
the great and daring mouse plot.
387
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:15,453
We all have our moments
of brilliance and glory...
388
00:24:15,662 --> 00:24:17,913
...and this was mine.
389
00:24:18,206 --> 00:24:19,290
'Why don't we,' I said...
390
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:23,252
...'slip it into one of
Mrs. Pratchett's jars of sweets?
391
00:24:23,420 --> 00:24:24,587
And then...
392
00:24:24,754 --> 00:24:27,631
...when she puts her dirty hand in
to grab a handful...
393
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:32,303
...she will grab a stinky
dead mouse instead.'
394
00:24:32,554 --> 00:24:34,722
The other four stared at me in wonder.
395
00:24:34,890 --> 00:24:38,976
Then, as the sheer genius
of the plot began to sink in...
396
00:24:39,227 --> 00:24:41,270
...they all started grinning.
397
00:24:41,563 --> 00:24:45,441
They slapped me on the back, cheered me
and danced around the classroom.
398
00:24:45,609 --> 00:24:47,401
'We will do it today!' they cried.
399
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:50,571
'We'll do it on the way home.
You had the idea,' they said to me.
400
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:53,073
'So you can be the one who
puts the mouse in the jar."'
401
00:24:56,745 --> 00:24:59,622
GEORGE: Uh, who belongs to this fish?
-That's mine.
402
00:25:00,081 --> 00:25:02,416
Could you give me a hand
with these used books?
403
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:06,462
And this is her best friend Tacy,
whose real name is Anastasia.
404
00:25:06,755 --> 00:25:09,965
And the next book, Betsy and Tacy
become friends with Tib...

00:25:10,258 --> 00:25:12,968
...whose real name, I am sorry
to tell you, is Thelma.
406

ANNABEL:
Ew.
407
00:25:15,263 --> 00:25:17,932
The illustrations are hand-tipped.
408
00:25:18,767 --> 00:25:20,768
And that's why it costs so much?
409
00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:23,312
That's why it's worth so much.
410
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:25,147
ANNABEL:
I want all of them.
411
00:25:25,315 --> 00:25:26,357
Uh, I'll think about it.
412
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,526
KATHLEEN: That's a lot for your dad
to buy at one time.
413
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:30,986
My dad gets me all the books I want.
414
00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:33,113
That's very nice of him.
415
00:25:33,323 --> 00:25:35,449
That's not my dad.
That's my nephew.
416
00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:38,953
I don't really think
that he could be your nephew.

00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:40,829
No, no, no. It's true.

-Wait, let me guess.

No.
422

00:25:59,140 --> 00:26:01,308
I'm his brother!

ANNABEL: What's that?
-That's a handkerchief.

Do children even know
what handkerchiefs are?
432
00:26:24,082 --> 00:26:28,002
A handkerchief is a Kleenex
that you don't throw away. See?
433
00:26:28,211 --> 00:26:29,753
My mother embroidered this for me.
434
00:26:29,921 --> 00:26:33,382

daisies are my favorite flower.

The world is not driven by discounts.
I've been in business forever.

I started helping my mother when I was 6,
and I used to watch her.
458

She wasn't just selling books.
459

She was helping people become
whatever they were going to be.
460
00:27:48,750 --> 00:27:51,752
When you read a book as a child,
it becomes part of your identity...
461
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,421
...in a way that no other reading
in your life does.
462
00:27:54,589 --> 00:27:56,465
And I have gotten carried away.
463
00:27:57,467 --> 00:27:58,509

-Cash.

00:52:37,195 --> 00:52:40,489
Do you want to get off the subway
at 72nd and Broadway...
865
00:52:40,740 --> 00:52:43,826
...and not even know
you're in New York City?
866
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:46,954
Can we save
The Shop Around the Corner?
867

CROWD:
Yes!
868
00:52:48,748 --> 00:52:50,875
We're here in front of
The Shop Around the Corner...
869
00:52:51,042 --> 00:52:53,335
...the famous West Side
children's bookstore...
870
00:52:53,503 --> 00:52:56,046
...now on the verge of having
to close its doors...
871
00:52:56,214 --> 00:52:58,215
...because the big bad wolf,
Fox Books...
872
00:52:58,425 --> 00:53:00,551
...has opened only
a few hundred feet away...
873
00:53:00,802 --> 00:53:04,930
...wooing customers with its sharp
discounts and designer coffee.
874
00:53:06,141 --> 00:53:07,975
They have to have discounts and lattes...
875
00:53:08,143 --> 00:53:10,352
...because their workers
have never read a book.
876
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,439
She's not as nice as she seems on TV.
877

-You met her?
-Yeah.
878
00:53:15,609 --> 00:53:17,568
Boy, she's a pill.
879
00:53:18,028 --> 00:53:20,154
Probably ain't as fine
as she look on TV either.

Oh, no, no. She's beautiful.
But she's a pill.

KEVIN:
You don't feel bad...
882
00:53:26,786 --> 00:53:30,289
...about sending her ass back
to the projects with food stamps?
883
00:53:30,498 --> 00:53:32,041
Broke, single, white lady.
884
00:53:32,292 --> 00:53:33,417
It's not personal.
885
00:53:33,585 --> 00:53:35,461
-It's business.
-Yeah.
886
00:53:35,629 --> 00:53:38,047
Hey, here's a good-looking guy!
887
00:53:38,298 --> 00:53:40,966
I sell cheap books. I do. So sue me.
888
00:53:41,468 --> 00:53:44,094
REPORTER: And that, in a nutshell,
is the Fox Books philosophy.
889
00:53:45,013 --> 00:53:46,055
That's what you said?
890
00:53:46,223 --> 00:53:47,723

Discount them and sell them.
891
00:53:47,891 --> 00:53:49,475
That's not all I said.

I can't believe those bastards.
I said we were great!
893
00:53:52,604 --> 00:53:55,022
I said you could read for hours
and no one will bother you.
894
00:53:55,273 --> 00:53:58,484
I said we had 150,000 titles. I showed
them the New York City section.
895
00:53:58,652 --> 00:54:00,778
I said we were a goddamn piazza.
896
00:54:01,363 --> 00:54:03,405
A place in this city where
people could mingle.
897
00:54:03,573 --> 00:54:04,615
Piazza?
898
00:54:04,783 --> 00:54:06,408
I was eloquent!
899
00:54:06,785 --> 00:54:08,869
-Shit!
-A piazza.
900
00:54:09,204 --> 00:54:12,748
It's inevitable. People want
to turn her into Joan of Arc.
901
00:54:12,999 --> 00:54:14,750
And you into Attila the Hun.
902
00:54:15,001 --> 00:54:17,878
Not me personally,
but the company, yeah.
903
00:54:19,130 --> 00:54:20,547
I have met Joe Fox.
904
00:54:21,216 --> 00:54:24,760
I've heard him compare
his store to a Price Club...
905
00:54:25,011 --> 00:54:27,513
...and the books in it
to cans of olive oil.
906
00:54:31,601 --> 00:54:34,561
The bookstore, tell us about it.
907
00:54:36,106 --> 00:54:41,193
The Shop Around the Corner has
a kind of Jeffersonian purity to it...
908
00:54:41,444 --> 00:54:46,031
...that the city needs in order
to maintain historical integrity.
909
00:54:46,199 --> 00:54:47,533
SIDNEY-ANN:
Jeffersonian purity.

-Yeah, I'm taping this.

Take the VCR.
914
00:54:57,043 --> 00:55:01,255
The whole idea behind the VCR
is that it makes it possible...
915
00:55:01,548 --> 00:55:05,050
...for you to tape what's on TV
when you leave the house.
916
00:55:05,260 --> 00:55:07,678
The whole idea
behind leaving the house...

-I've heard you say that before.
-She hasn't.

I can get behind.

She's touching herself.
And she's sweating.

yours is the only show I watch.

-No, thank you're.

Don't tell me.
Not the slightest difference?

there is no excuse for my behavior.
1203
01:12:41,899 --> 01:12:43,274
Anyway...
1204
01:12:43,525 --> 01:12:45,943
...I so wanted to talk to you.
1205
01:12:46,695 --> 01:12:49,322
I hope you have a good reason
for not being there last night.
1206
01:12:49,490 --> 01:12:53,409
You don't seem like the kind of person
who'd do something like that.
1207
01:12:53,994 --> 01:12:56,120
The odd thing about this
form of communication...
1208
01:12:56,288 --> 01:12:59,165
...is that you're more likely to talk
about nothing than something.
1209
01:12:59,333 --> 01:13:00,917
But I just want to say...
1210
01:13:01,126 --> 01:13:04,754
...that all this nothing has meant
more to me than so many...
1211
01:13:04,963 --> 01:13:06,631
...somethings.
1212
01:13:07,925 --> 01:13:09,717

I am in...
1215
01:14:26,503 --> 01:14:28,212
...Vancouver.
1216
01:14:37,806 --> 01:14:40,975
I was stuck in a meeting
which I couldn't get out of...
1217
01:14:41,226 --> 01:14:42,393
...and...
1218
01:14:42,728 --> 01:14:44,520
...the electricity went out.
1219
01:14:44,771 --> 01:14:46,272
And...
1220
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:47,732
...we were trapped...
1221
01:14:47,900 --> 01:14:50,109
...on the 38th floor.
1222
01:14:51,778 --> 01:14:54,280
And the telephone system blew too.
1223
01:15:01,455 --> 01:15:03,289
Amazingly enough.
1224
01:15:38,408 --> 01:15:40,159
Dear friend:
1225
01:15:43,163 --> 01:15:46,082
I cannot tell you
what happened last night.
1226
01:15:47,334 --> 01:15:49,835
But I beg you
from the bottom of my heart...
1227
01:15:50,003 --> 01:15:52,129
...to forgive me for not being there.
1228
01:16:00,597 --> 01:16:02,181
For what happened.
1229
01:16:04,810 --> 01:16:08,396
I feel terrible that you
found yourself in a situation...
1230
01:16:08,564 --> 01:16:11,440
...that caused you additional pain.
1231
01:16:13,694 --> 01:16:15,653
But I'm absolutely sure...
1232
01:16:15,988 --> 01:16:19,532
...that whatever you said last night
was provoked.
1233
01:16:19,825 --> 01:16:21,450
Even deserved.
1234
01:16:24,955 --> 01:16:29,208
Everyone says things they regret
when they're worried or stressed.
1235
01:16:31,253 --> 01:16:34,630
You were expecting to see
someone you trusted...
1236
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,258
...and met the enemy instead.
1237
01:16:40,887 --> 01:16:42,763
The fault is mine.
1238
01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:47,935
Someday I'll explain everything.
1239
01:16:48,478 --> 01:16:49,770
Meanwhile...
1240
01:16:49,938 --> 01:16:51,355
...I'm still here.
1241
01:16:52,357 --> 01:16:53,566
Talk to me.
1242
01:16:53,734 --> 01:16:56,569
Did he say anything about
wanting to meet you again?
1243
01:16:56,737 --> 01:16:58,279
No, not really.
1244
01:16:58,864 --> 01:17:00,364
Listen, it doesn't matter.
1245
01:17:00,532 --> 01:17:03,367
We'll just be like George Bernard Shaw
and Mrs. Patrick Campbell.
1246
01:17:03,535 --> 01:17:04,827
We'll write letters our whole lives.

BIRDIE: Thank you for the scones.
They look lovely.
1248
01:17:09,541 --> 01:17:12,877
Birdie, where was this one taken?
1249
01:17:13,295 --> 01:17:14,503

BIRDIE: Yes.
1251
01:17:17,716 --> 01:17:20,593
So, dearie, what have you decided to do?
1252
01:17:20,886 --> 01:17:23,387
Close. We're going to close.
1253
01:17:24,181 --> 01:17:25,222
Close.
1254
01:17:25,974 --> 01:17:30,311
Closing the store is the brave thing to do.
1255
01:17:31,063 --> 01:17:33,689
You are such a liar. But thank you.
1256
01:17:35,025 --> 01:17:40,071
You are daring to imagine that
you could have a different life.
1257
01:17:40,906 --> 01:17:45,785
I know it doesn't feel like that.
You feel like a big, fat failure now.
1258
01:17:46,036 --> 01:17:47,203
But you're not.
1259
01:17:47,579 --> 01:17:51,707
You are marching into
the unknown, armed with...
1260
01:17:51,917 --> 01:17:52,917
...nothing.

Have a sandwich.
1262
01:17:56,463 --> 01:17:59,882
Not nothing. I have a little money saved.
1263
01:18:00,050 --> 01:18:03,928
If you need more, ask me. I'm very rich.
1264
01:18:04,096 --> 01:18:06,931
I bought Intel at six.
1265
01:18:10,268 --> 01:18:12,978
I suppose you want me
to tell you who it was...
1266
01:18:13,230 --> 01:18:15,564
...I fell madly in love with.
1267
01:18:16,358 --> 01:18:17,733
But I'm not going to tell.
1268
01:18:18,610 --> 01:18:19,944
Who was it, Birdie?
1269
01:18:20,946 --> 01:18:23,864
Come on, tell. Uch. That's so mean.
1270
01:18:25,033 --> 01:18:26,325
But so romantic.
1271
01:18:26,493 --> 01:18:28,953
BIRDIE: It wasn't meant to be.
-Why not?
1272
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:31,622
He ran Spain.
1273
01:18:32,874 --> 01:18:34,250
Spain?
1274
01:18:34,459 --> 01:18:37,002
The country, he ran it. It was his job.
1275
01:18:37,254 --> 01:18:39,004
And then he died.
1276
01:18:39,256 --> 01:18:40,881
Just as well.
1277
01:18:41,216 --> 01:18:42,633
Milk or lemon?
1278
01:18:44,177 --> 01:18:47,304
She fell in love with
Generalissimo Franco.
1279
01:18:47,472 --> 01:18:49,557
Don't say that.
We don't know that for sure.
1280
01:18:49,725 --> 01:18:52,810
Who else could it have been?
It was around 1960.

-Do you want some popcorn?
-I can't believe this.
1282
01:18:56,815 --> 01:19:01,402
It's not like he was something normal,
like a socialist or an anarchist.
1283
01:19:01,653 --> 01:19:03,279
It happened in Spain.
1284
01:19:03,488 --> 01:19:05,781
People do stupid things
in foreign countries.
1285
01:19:05,991 --> 01:19:08,993
They buy leather jackets
for much more than they're worth.
1286
01:19:09,244 --> 01:19:12,538
But they don't fall in love
with fascist dictators.

[WHISPERING]
Birdie is a very special person to me.
1288

She is practically my surrogate mother.

You need quiet
while a hot dog is singing?

I have something to tell you, Frank.
1296
01:19:45,155 --> 01:19:47,448
-I didn't vote.
-What?
1297
01:19:47,616 --> 01:19:49,450
In the last mayoral election...
1298
01:19:49,618 --> 01:19:52,620
...when Rudy Giuliani was running
against Ruth Messinger...
1299
01:19:52,871 --> 01:19:54,622
...I went to get a manicure.
1300

And forgot to vote.

Since when do you get manicures?
1302
01:19:58,877 --> 01:20:01,962
I suppose you could never be with
a woman who got manicures?

It's okay. I forgive you.

And I'm so honored that
you'd want to be with me...

01:37:39,937 --> 01:37:40,979
We broke up.
1546
01:37:41,188 --> 01:37:44,607
That's too bad.
You were so perfect for each other.
1547
01:37:45,067 --> 01:37:46,276
Oh.
1548
01:37:47,778 --> 01:37:50,655
I don't mean to say things like that.
No matter what you've done...
1549
01:37:50,948 --> 01:37:53,199
...there's no excuse for my saying that.
1550
01:37:53,367 --> 01:37:54,617
Every time I see you--
1551
01:37:54,785 --> 01:37:56,995
Things like that just
fly out of your mouth.
1552
01:37:59,582 --> 01:38:00,790
I brought you flowers.
1553
01:38:02,793 --> 01:38:04,294
Ohh.
1554
01:38:04,461 --> 01:38:05,503
Thank you.
1555
01:38:10,968 --> 01:38:13,219
Why don't I just put these in some water?
1556
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:16,598
You're sick. You should sit down.
1557
01:38:22,521 --> 01:38:23,897
I need a vase.
1558
01:38:24,899 --> 01:38:26,858
Above the refrigerator.
1559
01:38:27,401 --> 01:38:29,819
JOE:
There it is. Obviously.
1560
01:38:30,988 --> 01:38:33,698
George says hello, by the way.
1561
01:38:35,492 --> 01:38:36,993
He told me you were sick.
1562
01:38:37,328 --> 01:38:38,745
How is George?
1563
01:38:40,247 --> 01:38:42,165
Great, really great.
1564
01:38:42,499 --> 01:38:44,876
He's revolutionizing the place.
1565
01:38:45,127 --> 01:38:46,544
You can't work in his department...
1566
01:38:46,837 --> 01:38:49,422
...unless you have a Ph.D.
in Children's Literature.
1567
01:38:49,715 --> 01:38:51,341
I love daisies.
1568
01:38:52,551 --> 01:38:55,011
-You told me.
-They're so friendly.
1569
01:38:55,346 --> 01:38:58,681
Don't you think daisies
are the friendliest flower?
1570
01:38:58,849 --> 01:38:59,849
I do.
1571
01:39:01,060 --> 01:39:02,185
When did you break up?
1572
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:04,687
Couple of weeks ago.
1573
01:39:05,522 --> 01:39:08,191
Everyone is breaking up. You. Me.
1574
01:39:08,359 --> 01:39:11,903
This other person I know broke up
with someone in an elevator.
1575
01:39:12,154 --> 01:39:14,864
Or after it, or just outside it or....
1576
01:39:15,157 --> 01:39:16,866
It got stuck.
1577
01:39:17,409 --> 01:39:20,787
When I saw you at the coffee place,
I was waiting for him.
1578
01:39:21,038 --> 01:39:22,372
And I was....
1579
01:39:22,539 --> 01:39:23,873
Charming.
1580
01:39:24,416 --> 01:39:25,917
I was not charming.
1581
01:39:26,168 --> 01:39:27,877
JOE:
You looked charming. Tea?
1582
01:39:28,045 --> 01:39:29,587
Yes. I was....
1583
01:39:29,755 --> 01:39:32,465
I was upset and horrible.
1584
01:39:33,092 --> 01:39:34,801
JOE: Honey?
-Yes.
1585
01:39:34,969 --> 01:39:36,260
I was the horrible one.
1586
01:39:36,470 --> 01:39:38,054
Well, that's true.
1587
01:39:38,305 --> 01:39:40,765
But I have no excuse.
1588
01:39:41,392 --> 01:39:43,559
Oh, I see what you're saying.
1589
01:39:44,603 --> 01:39:45,812
That's interesting.
1590
01:39:46,063 --> 01:39:48,064
Whereas I am a horrible person...
1591
01:39:48,273 --> 01:39:51,859
...therefore I have no choice
but to be horrible.
1592
01:39:52,111 --> 01:39:55,238
That's what you're saying.
But that's all right.
1593
01:39:55,406 --> 01:39:58,074
I put you out of business so...
1594
01:39:58,742 --> 01:40:00,243
...you're entitled to hate me.
1595
01:40:01,745 --> 01:40:03,246
I don't hate you.
1596
01:40:04,248 --> 01:40:06,416
But you'll never forgive me.
1597
01:40:06,792 --> 01:40:08,960
-Just like Elizabeth.
-Who?
1598
01:40:09,628 --> 01:40:11,879
Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice.
1599
01:40:12,089 --> 01:40:13,131
She was too proud.
1600
01:40:13,340 --> 01:40:15,758
I thought you hated Pride and Prejudice.
1601
01:40:16,010 --> 01:40:18,511
Or was she too prejudiced...
1602
01:40:18,762 --> 01:40:21,264
...and Mr. Darcy is too proud?
1603
01:40:21,473 --> 01:40:22,849
I can't remember.
1604
01:40:29,440 --> 01:40:31,024
It wasn't personal.
1605
01:40:31,316 --> 01:40:34,652
What is that supposed to mean?
I'm so sick of that.
1606
01:40:34,903 --> 01:40:38,281
All that means is that
it wasn't personal to you.
1607
01:40:38,490 --> 01:40:40,283
But it was personal to me.
1608
01:40:40,492 --> 01:40:42,785
It's personal to a lot of people.
1609
01:40:42,995 --> 01:40:46,039
What is so wrong
with being personal anyway?
1610
01:40:47,207 --> 01:40:48,541
Nothing.
1611
01:40:48,792 --> 01:40:52,920
Whatever else anything is,
it ought to begin by being personal.
1612
01:40:56,300 --> 01:40:58,676
My head is starting to get fuzzy.
1613
01:41:03,974 --> 01:41:05,933
Why did you stop by again? I forget.
1614
01:41:07,478 --> 01:41:08,728
I wanted to be your friend.
1615
01:41:09,938 --> 01:41:11,314
Oh.
1616
01:41:12,149 --> 01:41:14,275
I knew it wasn't possible.
1617
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:18,446
Sometimes a guy
just wants the impossible.
1618
01:41:28,373 --> 01:41:30,291
Can I ask you a question?
1619
01:41:30,501 --> 01:41:31,667
What?
1620
01:41:33,504 --> 01:41:36,172
What happened with that guy
at the café?
1621
01:41:37,049 --> 01:41:38,174
Nothing.
1622
01:41:38,383 --> 01:41:40,259
But you're crazy about him?
1623
01:41:41,637 --> 01:41:42,678
Yes, I am.
1624
01:41:42,846 --> 01:41:46,265
Why don't you run off with him?
What are you waiting for?
1625
01:41:48,685 --> 01:41:50,645
I don't actually know him.
1626
01:41:51,188 --> 01:41:52,271
Really?
1627
01:41:54,858 --> 01:41:57,527
I only know him through....
1628
01:41:58,362 --> 01:41:59,821
You won't believe this.
1629
01:41:59,988 --> 01:42:01,656
JOE:
Let me guess.
1630
01:42:02,199 --> 01:42:03,533
Through the Internet?
1631
01:42:05,035 --> 01:42:06,577
Yes.
1632
01:42:08,497 --> 01:42:09,580
JOE:
Hmm.
1633
01:42:09,790 --> 01:42:12,250
"You've got mail."
1634
01:42:12,417 --> 01:42:13,876
Yes.
1635
01:42:16,213 --> 01:42:17,588
Those are very powerful words.
1636
01:42:18,215 --> 01:42:19,715
Yes.
1637
01:42:22,803 --> 01:42:24,554
I'm happy for him.
1638
01:42:25,931 --> 01:42:27,682
Although....
1639
01:42:29,017 --> 01:42:30,935
Could I just make a suggestion?
1640
01:42:31,562 --> 01:42:32,895
What?
1641
01:42:33,355 --> 01:42:34,814
I think...
1642
01:42:35,357 --> 01:42:37,066
...you should meet him.
1643
01:42:37,568 --> 01:42:40,027
No, wait, I take that back.
1644
01:42:40,946 --> 01:42:43,823
Why would you meet somebody
you're crazy about?
1645
01:42:44,074 --> 01:42:47,743
I hardly think I need to take advice
from a person who--
1646
01:42:50,122 --> 01:42:52,331
I can see I bring out the worst in you.
1647
01:42:52,583 --> 01:42:55,209
Let me help you to not say something...
1648
01:42:55,419 --> 01:42:59,922
...you'll torture yourself about
for years to come.
1649
01:43:13,103 --> 01:43:15,271
I hope you feel better soon.
1650
01:43:16,607 --> 01:43:18,941
It'd be a shame to miss New York
in the spring.
1651
01:43:23,155 --> 01:43:24,739
Thank you for the daisies.
1652
01:43:35,792 --> 01:43:38,461
Well, you take care.
1653
01:43:39,880 --> 01:43:40,922
I will.
1654
01:43:42,132 --> 01:43:43,257
Goodbye.
1655
01:43:45,135 --> 01:43:46,469
Goodbye.
1656
01:44:03,487 --> 01:44:05,696
KATHLEEN:
I've been thinking about this...
1657
01:44:05,948 --> 01:44:08,032
...and I think we should meet.
1658
01:44:14,706 --> 01:44:16,332
JOE:
We should meet.
1659
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:18,793
And we will meet.
1660
01:44:19,294 --> 01:44:23,297
But I'm in the middle
of a project that needs...
1661
01:44:28,512 --> 01:44:30,179
...tweaking.
1662
01:44:49,950 --> 01:44:51,367
Some tweaking?
1663
01:44:52,035 --> 01:44:53,911
A project that needed...
1664
01:44:54,079 --> 01:44:55,204
..."tweaking."
1665
01:44:55,372 --> 01:44:59,542
-Yeah, that's what he said.
-T-W-E-A-K-I-N-G? Tweaking.
1666
01:45:00,210 --> 01:45:03,212
It sounds to me like he's married.
1667
01:45:03,380 --> 01:45:04,547
Three kids.
1668
01:45:04,715 --> 01:45:07,717
That's a terrible thing to say.
He couldn't be married.
1669
01:45:08,010 --> 01:45:09,218
How do you know?
1670
01:45:09,386 --> 01:45:11,595
Have you said, "Are you married?"
1671
01:45:11,888 --> 01:45:14,473
No, I'm not going to-- No.
1672
01:45:15,892 --> 01:45:19,270
KATHLEEN: I know this is a little late
to be asking but...
1673
01:45:20,397 --> 01:45:21,897
...are you married?
1674
01:45:25,402 --> 01:45:26,861
JOE:
Am I married?
1675
01:45:27,070 --> 01:45:29,030
What kind of question is that?
1676
01:45:29,573 --> 01:45:32,491
How can you ask me that?
Don't you know me at all?
1677
01:45:32,743 --> 01:45:34,618
Oh, wait, I get it.
1678
01:45:35,245 --> 01:45:38,581
Your friends are saying the reason
we haven't met is I'm married.
1679
01:45:38,749 --> 01:45:40,249
Am I right?
1680
01:45:41,585 --> 01:45:43,753
-So he didn't answer the question.
-Yes, he did.
1681
01:45:44,046 --> 01:45:46,922
-He did not.
-He did. He did. He nailed me.
1682
01:45:47,215 --> 01:45:51,093
He knew what I was after which is,
by the way, exactly like him.
1683
01:45:51,386 --> 01:45:54,597
He did not answer the question, did he?
1684
01:45:55,891 --> 01:45:57,266
No.
1685
01:45:58,435 --> 01:46:00,644
Maybe he's fat.
1686
01:46:01,313 --> 01:46:03,272
He's fat. He's a fatty.
1687
01:46:04,024 --> 01:46:05,066
I don't care.
1688
01:46:05,233 --> 01:46:07,151
You don't care that he's so fat...
1689
01:46:07,402 --> 01:46:11,113
...he has to be removed from his house
by a crane. You don't care.
1690
01:46:11,281 --> 01:46:12,740
KATHLEEN:
That is very unlikely.
1691
01:46:12,949 --> 01:46:15,284
That is completely ridiculous.
1692
01:46:15,952 --> 01:46:17,787
What's his handle?
1693
01:46:17,954 --> 01:46:19,288
Uh....
1694
01:46:21,083 --> 01:46:22,583
I'm not going to write him.
1695
01:46:22,793 --> 01:46:24,835
You think I'm going to e-mail him?
1696
01:46:27,130 --> 01:46:28,756
All right, N-Y-1 -5-2.
1697
01:46:29,049 --> 01:46:31,634
N-Y-1-5-2? 152.
1698
01:46:31,927 --> 01:46:34,053
He's 152 years old.
1699
01:46:34,805 --> 01:46:37,556
He's had 152 moles removed...
1700
01:46:37,808 --> 01:46:40,684
...so now he's got
152 pockmarks on his....
1701
01:46:41,353 --> 01:46:42,978
On his face.
1702
01:46:43,313 --> 01:46:46,774
The number of people who think
he looks like Clark Gable.
1703
01:46:47,067 --> 01:46:50,861
152 people who think
he looks like a Clark Bar.
1704
01:46:51,446 --> 01:46:53,322
[KATHLEEN LAUGHS]
1705
01:46:54,825 --> 01:46:58,411
KATHLEEN: Why'd I even tell you?
-152 stitches from his nose job.
1706
01:46:58,662 --> 01:47:01,705
The number of his souvenir
shot glasses...
1707
01:47:01,957 --> 01:47:05,459
...that he's collected in his travels.
1708
01:47:06,420 --> 01:47:07,962
His address.
1709
01:47:08,213 --> 01:47:12,091
No, he would never do
anything that prosaic.
1710
01:47:16,138 --> 01:47:19,181
The only thing I
really care about is that...
1711
01:47:19,391 --> 01:47:22,560
...aside from the married thing
and the jail thing...
1712
01:47:22,769 --> 01:47:25,271
...is the boat thing.
1713
01:47:26,106 --> 01:47:27,148
What boat thing?
1714
01:47:27,315 --> 01:47:29,608
I could never be
with someone who had a boat.
1715
01:47:31,319 --> 01:47:32,778
I have a boat.
1716
01:47:33,572 --> 01:47:35,156
Oh.
1717
01:47:35,323 --> 01:47:37,908
Which clinches it.
We'll never be together.
1718
01:47:38,243 --> 01:47:39,827
-How many?
-Three.
1719
01:47:40,078 --> 01:47:41,454
-Allow me.
-Thank you.
1720
01:47:41,663 --> 01:47:45,291
I could never be with someone
who likes Joni Mitchell.
1721
01:47:45,542 --> 01:47:48,586
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
1722
01:47:48,795 --> 01:47:52,214
What does that mean? Is she a pilot?
1723
01:47:52,424 --> 01:47:55,259
It must be a metaphor,
but I don't know what it is.
1724
01:47:57,012 --> 01:47:58,387
JOE:
How's your book coming?
1725
01:47:58,638 --> 01:48:01,474
KATHLEEN: There's this
children's book editor I know.
1726
01:48:01,725 --> 01:48:04,435
She's excited to read it
when I'm finished.
1727
01:48:04,644 --> 01:48:06,937
Who would ever have thought
that I would write?
1728
01:48:07,189 --> 01:48:09,523
-If I hadn't had all this time....
-Uh-huh.
1729
01:48:10,442 --> 01:48:11,859
-You know what?
-What?
1730
01:48:12,402 --> 01:48:16,530
The truth is he was the one who
started me thinking about writing.
1731
01:48:17,657 --> 01:48:20,993
Mr. 152 Felony Indictments.
1732
01:48:22,037 --> 01:48:25,581
Mr. 152 Insights Into My Soul.
1733
01:48:25,749 --> 01:48:28,000
Oh. Whoa. Yeah. Oh.
1734
01:48:28,168 --> 01:48:30,294
No competing with that.
1735
01:48:32,881 --> 01:48:35,090
I keep on bumping into you.
1736
01:48:36,843 --> 01:48:38,135
Hope your mango's ripe.
1737
01:48:39,137 --> 01:48:40,638
I think it is.
1738
01:48:41,223 --> 01:48:43,349
You want to bump into me...
1739
01:48:43,725 --> 01:48:45,976
...on Saturday around lunchtime?
1740
01:48:46,144 --> 01:48:47,728
-Yeah.
-Over there?
1741
01:48:47,896 --> 01:48:49,855
-Uh-huh.
-Good.
1742
01:48:54,444 --> 01:48:56,820
JOE:
How about meeting...
1743
01:48:57,072 --> 01:48:58,989
...Saturday?
1744
01:48:59,908 --> 01:49:01,700
Four o'clock.
1745
01:49:02,077 --> 01:49:04,328
There's a place in Riverside Park
at 91st Street...
1746
01:49:04,496 --> 01:49:07,248
...where the path curves
and there's a garden.
1747
01:49:07,499 --> 01:49:09,875
Brinkley and I will be waiting.
1748
01:49:10,544 --> 01:49:11,835
Okay, let's do it.
1749
01:49:12,087 --> 01:49:13,712
Ready? And....
1750
01:49:13,964 --> 01:49:15,214
Doot.
1751
01:49:15,382 --> 01:49:16,757
There it goes.
1752
01:49:17,759 --> 01:49:19,635
-Today?
-Today.
1753
01:49:19,803 --> 01:49:20,803
Wow.
1754
01:49:20,971 --> 01:49:23,347
I know. In Riverside Park.
1755
01:49:24,766 --> 01:49:26,767
That would mean he's a Westsider.
1756
01:49:26,977 --> 01:49:29,687
Maybe I've seen him
and don't even know it.
1757
01:49:29,896 --> 01:49:32,147
JOE: You could have seen him every day
and not know it.
1758
01:49:32,357 --> 01:49:33,691
KATHLEEN:
It's very possible.
1759
01:49:33,858 --> 01:49:35,818
-He could be anyone.
-He could be that guy.
1760
01:49:35,986 --> 01:49:37,987
And those flowers are for you.
1761
01:49:39,656 --> 01:49:42,074
JOE: Could be the Zipper Man.
-Who's that?
1762
01:49:42,325 --> 01:49:43,534
The Zipper Man.
1763
01:49:43,827 --> 01:49:44,827
Who is that?
1764
01:49:44,995 --> 01:49:47,496
He repairs zippers
on Amsterdam Avenue.
1765
01:49:47,706 --> 01:49:51,166
-Will you cut it out?
-You'd never have to buy new luggage.

[KATHLEEN CHUCKLES]
1767
01:49:52,919 --> 01:49:56,839
The timing here is everything.
He's waited until you're primed.
1768
01:49:57,007 --> 01:49:58,007
See?
1769
01:49:58,174 --> 01:50:02,845
Until you are absolutely convinced
that there's no other man...
1770
01:50:03,054 --> 01:50:05,180
...that you could possibly love.
1771
01:50:05,390 --> 01:50:06,807
Yes.
1772
01:50:07,601 --> 01:50:09,518
You know, sometimes I wonder.
1773
01:50:10,020 --> 01:50:11,061
What?
1774
01:50:14,524 --> 01:50:16,191
If I hadn't been Fox Books...
1775
01:50:16,401 --> 01:50:19,612
...and you hadn't been
The Shop Around the Corner...
1776
01:50:20,405 --> 01:50:22,740
...and you and I had just met.
1777
01:50:23,325 --> 01:50:26,410
-I know.
-Yeah. Yeah.
1778
01:50:27,037 --> 01:50:29,079
I'd have asked for your number.
1779
01:50:30,874 --> 01:50:35,419
I wouldn't have been able to wait 24 hours
before calling you and saying:
1780
01:50:37,589 --> 01:50:39,882
"How about some coffee...
1781
01:50:40,091 --> 01:50:42,259
...or drinks or dinner...
1782
01:50:45,096 --> 01:50:47,640
...for as long as we both shall live?"
1783
01:50:51,978 --> 01:50:53,062
Joe--
1784
01:50:53,229 --> 01:50:55,773
You and I would never have been at war.
1785
01:50:56,650 --> 01:51:01,236
The only thing we'd fight about would be
which video to rent on a Saturday night.
1786
01:51:04,407 --> 01:51:05,866
Who fights about that?
1787
01:51:06,993 --> 01:51:08,577
Some people.
1788
01:51:09,913 --> 01:51:10,913
Not us.
1789
01:51:11,289 --> 01:51:13,082
We would never.
1790
01:51:17,754 --> 01:51:18,921
If only.
1791
01:51:24,302 --> 01:51:27,304
-I gotta go.
-Let me ask you something.
1792
01:51:32,102 --> 01:51:35,813
How can you forgive this guy
for standing you up...
1793
01:51:36,022 --> 01:51:39,274
...and not forgive me
for this tiny little thing...
1794
01:51:40,652 --> 01:51:42,945
...of putting you out of business?
1795
01:51:48,284 --> 01:51:49,618
How I wish you would.
1796
01:51:52,455 --> 01:51:53,831
I really have to go.
1797
01:51:54,124 --> 01:51:55,916
