He Said, She Said Page #8

- Do you remember, Dan?

- Yes, but I wouldn't call it a date.

She ate my dinner and insulted me.

- I should've known.

- It's for the best, now we're free.

Free to pursue our careers,

other people,

though I didn't think

you'd start so soon.

There's nothing going on here.

Of course not, Dan would never...

You flirtatious ass.

You haven't changed

since I first saw you.

- How could you even think...?

- You followed me here.

I wasn't following you.

And who's at our table?

- Whose fat butt is at our table?

- Dan...

- It's not our table any more.

- Whose fault is that?

- Let's go.

- No, stay.

- You're both self-destructive.

- I agree.

- Shut up.

- We should go.

- Leave her out of this.

- I'd love to leave her out of it.

Dan, are you all right?

Come on. This way.

Some people say the news

is not entertainment.

They might think again if they'd been

watching station WBAL in Baltimore.

- On an opinion show...

- Come here.

Commentator Lorraine Bryer

was more forceful than usual...

...and threw a coffee cup

at Dan Hanson,

who is reported in stable

but confused condition.

The small station was flooded with

calls about what will happen tomorrow.

- I'm glad you don't drink coffee.

- I drink hot tea.

My God, we made ET.

That is so great.

Lorie is going to hate this.

I wonder if she saw it.

- What does it matter?

- It may be for the best.

I know. You're right.

I mean, I'm glad it's over.

I don't need to be hit on the head.

Not three times, anyway.

Wow, that perfume is...

So...

What do you think?

Should we go to bed together?

I... I can't sleep here,

I don't have my pyjamas.

I don't think you're going to need them.

Part of me wants to, but I can't.

Dan, you've changed a lot.

But I think I have, too.

We've always had

a lot of laughs and good sex.

Maybe we're ready

for something more.

I think I am.

Oh, Linda. I'm sorry.

Dan, go home and get your pyjamas.

Hi.

Hi.

I didn't have my pyjamas, or anywhere

to wear them since you kicked me out.

- I thought you were staying with Linda.

- No.

I don't think it's a good idea

for you to stay here.

Where would you suggest I stay?

- What about a hotel?

- It's late, I don't want to.

All right, you can sleep on the couch.

But just for tonight.

- Don't think, because you're here...

- Believe me, I won't.

Thanks.

I have to write my copy.

Did the lawyer call you?

Yeah.

- One more show, huh?

- Yeah.

Well...

- I guess it's for the best.

- Definitely.

Well...

- Night.

- Goodnight.

- Dan.

- It's OK, honey, I'm all right.

Dan.

- I think I'd like some cheesecake.

- What?

I think you could use some, too.

You're right, I could definitely

use some cheesecake.

OK.

You're not going to remember

any of this, are you?

Lorie, I love you.

I'm crazy about you.

Don't ever leave me, please.

I want to spend

the rest of my life with you.

I'll go get us some cheesecake.

- And that's the way I see it.

- OK. Stop tape, that's it.

Mr Weller.

Well, Miss Bryer.

I understand it's not

going to work out for us.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

I watched the taping just now.

It's not the same

without both of you there.

You know...I realised,

standing out there watching,

exactly why I love

your show so much.

It's not the issues,

not the social significance,

but it's because there's

always this possibility...

...that your wife, your husband,

your girlfriend, whatever...

...will do exactly

what you did yesterday.

It's what makes life interesting.

Stand by, please.

Seven, six, five, four,

three, two, one.

And now, Perkell Heating

and Cooling...

- I'm sorry, sir. Very sorry.

- Me, too. They were a nice couple.

Today's topic:
the Mayor's Council

on Mental Wellbeing.

Good afternoon.

Before I begin today, I would like

to apologise to the viewing public

for my irrational and inappropriate

behaviour on yesterday's show.

I would also like

to clear something up

concerning the proposed

highway merger.

I would just like to say that...

...my opponent is right.

The merger is not needed.

Some things

are just not meant to be.

You think you can make them

go in the same direction...

...but all you get is...

...congestion and

increased traffic and...hurt.

The highways should be allowed

to run their course.

I would also like to say:

Dan, wherever you are...

Look, I cleaned my cup.

Cut to the logo, start Dan's tape.

Oh, man...

Poor Lorie.

Good afternoon.

Before I begin my rebuttal, Lorie,

I'd like to make a statement about the

highway merger discussed yesterday.

I would like to go on record

as reversing my original opinion.

The highways are ripe for a merger.

This proposal will ensure the future

growth that is sorely needed.

As my Uncle Olaf used to...

No.

I'm not going to say that any more.

It's not my Uncle Olaf talking, Lorie...

It's me.

And what I'm saying is that...

...I would like another chance.

I just don't want to be apart from you.

And that's the way I see it.

Does this mean...?

Pretty scary, huh?

Yeah.

God, my contact came out again.

- Hold on, I'll find it.

- No, you'll crush it again.

- I never crushed it.

- Yes, you did.

See, magic.

So what do you think

about the Mayor's Council?

- What do you think I think?

- I knew it.

You want this on the air?

No, Ray. Some things

are more important than a TV show.

Even I understand that.

These kids deserve their privacy.

They don't need their relationship

exploited so that we can...

Camera 1, get on Dan.

Camera 2, zoom in on Lorie.

- I guess she won that one.

- What do you mean? He won.

What's the use of even talking to you.

You're an old fool.
