Miles, hey.
How's life
been treating you?
Well, well, well.
What brings you
into town, peter?
Social visit?
Another special meeting
with the brass?
Or perhaps you heard
The cafeteria has jimmies
at the sundae bar
And you couldn't
stay away.
In town for a couple days and
I thought I'd do some research.
You can just save
your breath, mister.
You just came back
here to taunt me
So I will beg you
to come back
So I will beg you
to come back one more time.
Then you'll leave
like you always do
Well I will not beg, peter.
Come back, don't come back.
It's all the same
to me.
It's none of my business, but
I hope you two can patch things up.
You make very cute couple.
Oh, oh, oh!
Now, you're going
to get off here.
Boy, you are determined
to take this to the end
Just to see
if I'll cr*ck.
I'm just stopping by
to say hello.
I'm not trying
to get back on fyi.
Why not?
Isn't there something
I can do
More money?
You want my office?
It has a little kitchen.
No, no. I won't this.
I'm better than that.
Watch me walk away.
I tossed it
in the frozen food section
And tore out of there...
Hey, guys, how's it going?
Hey, hi.
Peter.
So...
Back again like
a little petey boomerang.
Let me guess.
You were in the neighborhood
And stopped by
to use the phone.
Outside, two blocks down.
Take an umbrella.
Looks like rain.
Excuse me.
Would you mind telling me
what the hell is going on?
So I'm guessing you haven't
told the others about us.
I like to keep
my personal life private.
At least, that's what
I always thought
If I ever had a personal life.
Did you get my letter?
Very steamy stuff.
And a nice touch
Rolling it inside
a shell casing.
a*tillery fire
makes me think of you.
So many people
say that.
I see you got the lock
fixed on your door.
I have to be in editing
in two minutes.
I can do two minutes.
Just a little tip, petey--
Most women
wouldn't consider that
A selling point.
You know, some of us
even like to be wooed.
Flowers,
a little trinket
Bestowed by the wooer
upon the woo-ee.
You think
I can't do romance?
I can do romance.
How about tonight?
I'll wear clean socks.
Come on. Where are you?
Whatever it is,
good luck.
Eldin, have you seen
my smokey robinson?
I can't find it.
I need my smokey robinson
tonight.
Why is that?
Must I spell it out
for you?
There is a man
coming over.
I have a man coming over.
It's been a while
since I've used smokey.
I'm nervous
about using smokey again.
Oh. Yeah.
Oh. Oh, man!
I shouldn't be hearing that.
This isn't easy
for me, either.
I could use some advice.
I stopped by the drugstore
on the way home, and, um...
You know, there are
a lot more choices
Than I remembered--
Plain, ribbed, scented,
colored, contoured...
I said to myself,
just keep walking.
Don't stop.
You'll only regret it.
You don't have
to say anything.
Just point to something.
I need a man's opinion.
So, what do you think?
I think you're being incredibly
optimistic about this evening.
I don't know
what I'm doing.
I'm too old.
I've been
off the market too long.
It was comfortable.
I'm a mother.
I've got stretch marks.
Too much information.
Too much information!
I want you
to tell me the truth.
When you look
at this area here...
I don't look
at that area!
I'm begging you--
get a girlfriend!
Eldin!
All right.
All right,
you want my advice?
Fluff your hair
up a little bit.
Lose some
of them buttons.
The one with
the aztec warrior on it.
(Doorbell rings)
Someone on this block
order a little romance?
Black orchids.
How did know?
I did my homework.
Just a little indication
of what I'm capable of
When I have
More than two minutes.
And tonight, I've taken care
of everything.
Now this, I believe,
is your trinket.
J.d. Salinger's
home phone number?
You sure know your way
to a woman's heart.
And now,
for phase three...
Sit down, please.
...music.
Music too?
You're a quick study.
(Slow saxophone riff playing)
Let me check my dance card.
Nope.
Completely free.
♪♪ I'm gonna love you... ♪♪
Dancing?
I didn't mention
anything about dancing.
Did you come up
with this yourself?
Shh.
♪♪ High as a mountain ♪♪
♪♪ Deep as a river, come rain ♪♪
♪♪ Or come shine... ♪♪
Hey.
This is very nice.
I could get used
to this.
♪♪ I guess when you met me ♪♪
♪♪ It was just
one of those things ♪♪
(Singing off key:)
♪♪ but don't you
ever forget me... ♪♪
Murphy, maybe we've had
enough singing.
So, what's phase four?
Oh, god.
You look good.
You look very good.
Could you just hold on
a minute?
I'll be right back.
How's it going
in there?
Oh, fine.
I'm coming out.
All set.
Let me guess:
You're olga korbut
And I'm the strict,
demanding coach.
I get cold.
Maybe I can do
something about that.
Almost there.
Boy, you really go in
for that layered look.
Okay.
Okay.
Geez, talk about bright!
It's like an operating room
in here.
Excuse me.
Okay. It's all right.
It's all...
Okay?
Yeah, I got it.
All right.
Ah.
(Sighs)
Mmm.
You know, that moonlight
must be blinding you.
Ah.
Did you leave a trail
of bread crumbs
Or should I just whistle
So you can find
your way back?
No problem.
(Thud)
Ow!
I'm okay.
Ah.
Now... Now, where were we?
Right about here.
Oh, I like this.
I don't know what's going on here, but
I'm starting to feel a little underdressed.
Do we have a problem here?
All right, yes...
Yes.
Truman?
Harry truman.
I can't stop thinking about truman.
You like truman.
I can be truman.
The buck stops here.
No...
He was president when I was born and
I'm guessing he wasn't when you were. Who was?
Eisenhower.
What music was playing
When you had
your first kiss?
"I'm a little teapot"
I started early.
So what? There are
a few years between us.
How old?
.
Oy.
You couldn't be ?
You couldn't be
in the same decade?
Let me get this straight.
You're upset because
there happen to be a few...
Seven.
Seven years between us. That's nothing.
You don't even have
to renew your passport
In seven years.
It's only half the term
Of a member of
the federal reserve board.
It's also how long
it takes your body
To go through an entire set
of skin cells.
I'm an entire set of skin
Ahead of you.
What?!
I'm saying
I'm not anymore.
The contents may have
shifted during flight.
Come on, murphy.
You're a beautiful woman
And it's a good thing, too,
because not everybody
Could make
that outfit work.
You know, you should
have seen me
During the kennedy
administration.
Nixon... Ford... Carter...
Reagan.
It was during the bush years
that it started to go.
Plus, you know, I'm
a little out of practice.
Actually, I am a lot
out of practice.
In a way,
I'm practically a virgin...
An old virgin.
All right, fine. Fine.
If you're going to let
Some arbitrary number ruin
everything, go ahead.
But I worked very hard
to make this evening right.
I spent hours figuring out
what to bring.
I practiced what
I was going to say.
I hate people who do that,
but I did it
Because you're not like
the other women I've dated.
You're sophisticated...
Why don't you
just say old?
But thought at least maybe
we'd get the plane
Out of the hangar.
It's too bad too.
Because I was going to be
really great tonight.
And I wasn't?
Let me tell you--
It might have been a while,
but I can be great.
I was going to be so great you would
forget about how great you were going to be.
Only after I'd been so great you left your
body three times and begged to back in it
when you saw how much fun it was having.
Oh, god, car pool.
Oh great. You're not
even dressed yet.
The rest of us can all manage
to be on time.
How long is this
going to take you now?
She's not even dressed yet!
She just woke up.
How many times is this going to happen?
That makes about that bed of yours
that makes it so darn hard to leave?
It's going to be a while.
No, it's not going to be a while.
Oh, murphy, it's so cute
that you really believe that.
She's not
even dress yet.
Just woke up.
Not even dressed yet!
Just woke up!
Just woke up!
How many times does this make, murphy?
You are being inconsiderate
to people with lives just as busy as yours.
You are right!
You are absolutely right.
You should just
go on without me.
Boy, that would really teach me.
It hardly saves gas when I'm
sitting out there idling away.
I say we go without her.
I agrees. If you dawdle
around in bed all morning,
You're going to have
pay the price.
You've abused the
car pooling privilege.
I have.
And I'm going to spend my entire drive
into work thinking about mending my selfish ways.
Well, so long.
Murphy. I don't know
about you, but I'm starved.
You got any...
I guess there's no point in my saying,
"your cable's fixed, ma'am."
I'll...
I'll just be right back.
Oh my god.
Time to go.
Don't want to be late.
Jim!
Can't you see
what's going on?
No, I can't.
Off we go then.
Oh my god.
You know, I'm putting
myself your shoes.
I can just imagine
what you're thinking but actually...
This is sick.
Only someone twisted would kiss me
And then move on to you.
It's...
It's like...
It's like incest
We're practically sisters.
Or when you think about it,
biologically you could be my mother.
Hey!
Let's get to work. Let's get to the office
and read the papers before the work day starts.
He was drunk,
and you were asleep, right?
No, frank, that's your sex life.
Will you knock it off.
I don't owe any of you
an explanation.
It's my own business.
Murphy's right.
She's an adult and
her personal life is her own.
Thank you, miles.
No. Thank you, murphy.
What a team player.
This may be the added incentive to get
peter back on the show. So how were you?
Miles!
I mean, did you do
anything special?
Why don't we
try this again.
Peter, my man!
Does this mean I'll be sliding
an extra anchor chair
Up to the old fyi desk?
I'm afraid you've lost me.
If you were to come back
You could have this
any time you want.
I don't have
all the details
About what went on
here last night
But you better
watch yourself
Because what you do
to murphy, you do to me.
Sorry.
It's okay.
I probably should just...
Unless you...
No, no, I don't...
Well, I hadn't made any...
I didn't either.
So...
I understand.
Well, good-bye.
Bye.
See you around.
Bye.
All right, show's over.
I want all of you
to leave now.
I am hungry,
I am not dressed
And I am exhausted.
Ew!
Just to let you all know
We're talking about
the weather on the way in.
Hi.
Hi.
We didn't get a chance
to talk this morning
So...
Let's cut to the chase.
We've got
A big problem here.
Last night was great.
Great? It was fantastic.
If things keep going
at this rate
How's it all supposed
to blow up in our faces?
This could actually work out.
Let's wait a minute.
Maybe we're getting
ahead of ourselves.
We cleared one hurdle.
There's still
the first time
We try and divvy up
the sunday paper.
Our first vacation together.
I've had three
relationships blow up
At a car rental counter.
There's always
our geography problem.
I'll bet you've got
a plane to catch.
I'm in town for three days.
Three days?
That's forever.
My marriage lasted five.
And you said you're
no good at relationships.
I was younger then.
I don't know.
Your clinton years
Are looking pretty good
to me.
Okay, but let's just get
a few things straight.
No sharing those giant tubs
of popcorn at the movies
I won't automatically
give you my jacket
You should check the weather
before you leave the house.
And none of those
cute little nicknames.
One single "snuggy bug"
and it's all over.
Don't ever try
and buy me clothes
All right, you're all so
interested in my private life
Here it is.
What happened
last night
Was not just
a one-night stand.
Yes!
So...
It's like a two-night stand?
Maybe we should have
let you in on it sooner...
You mean before
we saw him naked?
But the truth is,
we weren't exactly sure
What we'd be
letting you in on.
But now we're ready to admit
freely and openly
That what
we have here is...
Peter?
Uh...
A thing.
A definite thing.
Wouldn't you say?
Yes, that's what it is.
Peter is going to be gone
for a few months
But he's in town now
So I'll be taking
a personal day.
Take, take.
Oh, that beetle baily.
Year after year,
he just...
