I'm half responsible for this mess.

Please, don't talk so loud.

This isn't the time or place

to talk about this very private matter.

- When is the time to talk about it?

- You're yelling...

Why don't we take a 10-minute break?

Barbara, what are we going to do?

We've got to talk about this.

We've got to try...

I can't believe this happened to me.

I'm hardly the adventurous type.

Somehow it just doesn't seem fair,

and that makes it very difficult.

Of course it's difficult.

Whether it's fair or not

makes no difference.

It's happened,

we must work it out together.

I know.

I have a great feeling for you, Willy.

You're my closest friend.

Barbara, I want you to marry me.

I will not marry you.

Not out of convenience.

Not because it's the thing to do,

which is what everybody else does.

Do you think that I'm asking you

to marry me because...

...it's what everybody else does?

Someday I may change my hairstyle,

but not yet.

- Okay. Whenever you're ready.

- All right.

The style you have

looks really good on you.

Thank you.

Watch your head.

Hi, Boog.

How you doin', Beth?

- Here's the Post.

- Thank you.

Is Mr. Andre here?

No. Mr. Andre, he stepped out

to get some coffee and donuts.

He'll be back. What's up?

We're all supposed to have our hair done

for the wedding.

The bridesmaids, the whole group.

And I'm in charge to make sure

that Mr. Andre can handle it...

...without any problems. Maybe get some

extra operators or something.

Yeah, I don't know what he has...

Can you get this?

I don't know what he has planned.

You're not going to go to work

that day are you?

No, but I'm sure he's got

something arranged.

Why don't you sit down over there

and he'll be right in.

Okay.

I'm gonna go out for a second.

- It's cold out here. I should get my coat.

- Come on. It's not that cold.

Where are we gonna go?

Let's go down here to my office.

- This is your office?

- Yeah.

Get in.

- What's the matter?

- You had a payment to make.

I'm going to make it.

You were supposed to make it last night.

Nobody in the office got a call.

That was a mistake. I forgot.

I've placed some bets tonight.

I'm gonna have it.

- Don't bullshit me, Boogie.

- I'm not bullshitting.

Tank, cut it out. I'm gonna make it.

Tank, what are you doing?

Who do you think you're f***in' with,

some kid?

What are you doing?

Fun and games, a little kids' play

or something?

- I'll have it.

- I'm not amused.

- I'm not amused. Hear me?

- Don't hit me.

- Tank, what are you doing?

- No ifs, ands, or buts. All right?

- I'm gonna have it.

- Tonight.

Tank, don't...

Carol.

I was just thinking about you.

What?

The flu?

Yeah, I know.

That doesn't sound too good.

Yeah.

102, huh?

Yeah, well listen. All right.

All right. Take care, and...

All right.

I'll call you back later and check up on you.

Okay. Bye-bye.

You feeling better?

Yeah, well, I'm not crying.

I think that's about the only improvement.

Boog, I want to thank you for last night.

I guess I just needed someone.

Don't thank me. It was... I don't know.

It just kind of felt like old times, you know?

Standing in the doorway,

I kind of felt like I was dating you again.

Boog, when we were datin',

did you care for me?

Sure I did.

No, I don't mean just because

you could do stuff to me, but...

...but because you really cared.

Of course, Beth. I mean there was plenty

of girls around for a quick pop.

If that's what I wanted.

But I got to tell you, you were good.

I was?

Believe me.

How would I rate?

You would rate way up there.

'Cause, I never told you this, but...

...I often think of the nights

that we spent together.

And that was a long time ago.

I don't have any sense of myself anymore.

I don't know what I am.

I don't know if I'm pretty or if I'm...

I just, I have no sense of me anymore.

Listen.

I don't know what Shrevie doesn't tell you.

But you don't have anything

to worry about.

You're a definite looker.

You're a very, listen to me...

...you're a very sexy lady. You are.

I think maybe we should...

...well, go out sometime.

I think we should get together.

Is Shrevie going to go over...

...for Elyse's football test?

Yeah.

Well?

I don't know.

Are you going?

No.

What do you think?

Maybe we can go out tonight, huh, Boog?

Yeah.

Yeah, we can get together.

Was George Shaw a first-round

draft choice?

First-round draft choice? True.

Wrong. He was a bonus pick.

Elyse, did you study?

Okay. That concludes the true-and-false

section of the test.

Let me get the short-answer stuff in order.

- Can I have a glass of water?

- No.

How's she doing?

Elyse has about a 72 so far.

But she's hitting a bad streak.

Before the Cleveland Browns joined

the NFL, they were in another league.

What was it called?

They were in another league?

- Yes, they were.

- I don't know.

This is hot. You have anything cold?

Elyse, don't get too close

to the answer sheet. Okay?

What's it now, Shrev?

Let me see.

What, passing is 65?

No. Passing is 65.

Buddy Young played for a team

that no longer exists.

What was the name of that team?

Anybody know that?

Not a chance.

The New York Yankees football team.

The New York Yankees football team?

They also were part of

the All-American Football Conference.

I contributed that question.

What was the longest run from scrimmage

by a rookie in his first game?

Alan Ameche.

Hey! We heard that in here.

I'm disqualifying this question.

I knew that. Seventy-nine yard run,

opening day 1955.

Good, Shrevie. You blew that.

I'm sorry. I got excited.

It's one of the few questions that I knew.

Sorry, Elyse.

- How many more?

- I don't know. I lost count.

Elyse's mother is on the phone.

How's she doing?

The guys think it could go either way.

Either way. Okay.

- Can I go to the bathroom?

- No. Okay. The Colts signed him.

A Heisman Trophy winner who decided

to play in Canada.

Now, however, he plays for the team.

What's his name?

Heisman Trophy winner.

- L.G. Dupre.

- No. Billy Vessels.

- I should've known that.

- Should-ofs don't count.

Vessels. Out of Oklahoma.

She could have racked up points

on that one.

I have no idea what the score is now.

You want to bet she goes down

for the count?

Last question. The Colts had a team here,

lost the franchise...

...then got one from Dallas.

What were the colors

of the original Colt team?

Ball buster.

- The original colors?

- My mother quizzed me on this.

Also my question.

- Green and gray.

- Right.

What a scrapper.

A tough question and she pulls it

out of the bag.

Very impressive.

Total's coming up.

True and false, 72.

Killer choices. Very confusing.

Short answer, 64.

- What do you think?

- I don't know. Pick 'em.

Cliffhanger.

The total is 63.

Sixty-three.

- I think you better check that again.

- Two points.

I checked the figures thoroughly.

- What will he do?

- He'll give 'em to her.

Good sportsmanship is worth two points.
