screw around before he screws me...

...can take his DNA

and replicate it up his ass.

But he's telling the truth.

Sooner or later they all screw around.

It's always

the boys against the girls.

The boys always try

to run up the score.

Look, I gotta go. All right?

Friday. Right?

Bye, babe.

That makes you uncomfortable.

Talking about men.

- No. Why?

- You never talk about them.

What would I say?

You never date them, either.

If you have some other sexual

preference, you can just say so.

You're among friends.

Hey, thanks. And vice versa.

All right!

- Nice to see you again.

- How are you?

Would you take these to my room?

Not the painting. Just leave that.

I'm in a tiny touch of a hurry.

There seems to have been a mistake.

Don't you usually take a suite?

No mistake. The cheaper the better.

Come in.

Now I get it.

What?

Come in.

IKen!

Hi...

How are you?

- You look good.

- So do you.

I'm in a hell of a rush.

- What time is it?

- It's 4:
35.

I found a few of your things

at the apartment you might like.

- Terry, can we talk?

- I can't now.

I was an idiot when you left. I still

don't understand, but I'm sorry.

No, you were very good about it.

What time is it?

Now?

Well, it's 4:
35 and 32 seconds.

Where are you going?

I can't be late.

You're hopeless.

Taxi! Taxi!

Tony and Rebecca asked for you.

- How are they?

- They're fine.

Taxi! I don't know

how you're doing...

...but I'll tell them you look happy.

Thanks. Tell them hello for me.

I will. I'll call you, okay?

- Where am I going?

- Where are you going?

Downtown.

I'll call you.

Empire State Building.

This city's problem is traffic.

Why do people murder and rob banks?

Because they're frustrated,

that's why.

I could've been a ball player.

Maybe not the majors, but the minors.

Could you cut through the park?

What? The park?

The park is jammed,

bumper to bumper.

Michael Jordan's playing

in the minors.

What do you think they're paying him?

Peanuts.

How tall are you?

You look tall for a woman.

- What, 5' 10"?

- There's no faster way?

Helicopter. Maybe.

I like tall women.

Some men don't like tall women.

- Bureaucratic quagmire.

IKnow how to eliminate the quagmire?

Elect a mayor who's not a politician,

that's how.

- You know how to find one?

- I'll get out here.

Here you go.

Lady, that's a 50.

It's for you. I'm getting married,

and I wanted you to know first.

For a $42 tip, I...

Miss MclKay, can you hear me?

I'm Dr. Punch.

I'll touch you and I want you

to tell me if you feel it.

It's important for you

to remain still.

If it's too painful to talk,

just blink your eyes.

Mr. Gambril!

You forgot this.

I had to take off the wrapping,

it was torn and damp.

- You didn't forget it?

- No.

You just left this for housekeeping?

I choose the pictures

for the restaurant.

I think it's very good.

I'm not a critic, but I like it.

- What do you like about it?

- I don't know.

It makes you wonder, is it

a real place, is it a real person?

- Is she?

- Is she what?

Real.

I don't know.

- Is it for sale?

- It's yours.

No, I couldn't.

It must be worth something.

Not to me. Thanks.

Janet, Glenda and Dixie

were all married to him...

...some at the same time.

- Tough break.

- I had to take her for an ultrasound.

Wait, go back.

- Hawkeye offense moved the ball

convincingly.

The Buckeye

defense slaughtered the...

Where do they get

a name like Buckeye?

Where do they get "Rams"

or "Trojans"?

The Trojans? The mind reels.

What is a Buckeye?

Ohio's the Buckeye state.

Do their eyes stick out

like buck teeth?

A buckeye is...

What's a buckeye?

A buckeye.

Guys, I'm a little pooped.

It's okay. Don't worry.

I have to go back to work anyway.

I've got a meeting with a new group.

You know what that's like.

It'll be boring.

Do you want this off?

Please.

Well... I'll call you.

- Thanks.

- IKen.

I'll see you, Tina. Take care.

You need anything else?

So how's it with Mariel?

Ariel.

She's allergic to the dog.

Hector's a Dandy Dinmont Terrier.

He doesn't have dander.

Yes, he does. She can live with it.

- Do you mind if I ask you a question?

- No.

Have you been seeing anybody?

Not lately.

Of course. I mean, since we...

No.

I haven't been seeing anybody.

You don't sound convinced.

Boy, you're a tough nut to crack.

Come here.

Sorry. I can come back.

It's all right, I'm just leaving.

You know where I am if you need me.

So call.

I will.

She's all yours.

So, guess what?

I can not only feel the sheet...

...but I have movement

in my right leg.

You can't see it, but I feel it...

...sometimes.

We won't operate until we see

if there's permanent damage.

Can't you be more specific

in some way?

How will that help?

Can I tell you something

I haven't told anyone?

I want to keep this from someone.

I don't want to see him

until I can walk.

Yes, Rau?

She gave me this to send to you.

She said it was for the young lady

who was here with you.

Thank you, Rau.

Hello.

Happy Holidays, Mr. Gambril.

- Merry Chris...

- Merry Christmas.

- I got you something.

- Oh, you shouldn't have.

- Merry Christmas.

- A hat.

One size fits all?

Walk with me.

Thanks.

- I've got good news and bad news.

- What's the good news?

- I got us a meeting with the Giants.

- Giants?

Let me amend that.

I got a meeting with Tisch himself.

He's a fan.

We'll have lunch tomorrow.

The best part is we talked about

you being quarterback coach.

Then he mentions

offensive coordinator.

- What's the bad news?

- You might be successful.

I know how hard that is for you to

handle, but I'll see you through it.

I need a drink.

What are you doing?

I have a table over here.

Oh, it's Lynn Weaver!

I can't believe that's Lynn Weaver.

What are the chances of bumping

into her? She looks great.

She looks great.

He's right, you look great.

- So do you.

- Thanks.

Why don't you join us?

All the art here is by celebrities,

did you know that?

This is a Phyllis Diller over here.

And that was a Doug McClure

in the other room.

Evidently done

during his blue period.

They have a Howard Cosell next

to a Don Meredith. They still clash.

It's in the next room.

How'd he get you here?

Using natural charm and seduction.

- He does have that.

- Thank you. Do you really mean that?

You left your tux in my closet.

There's a benefit tomorrow night.

Should I send it over?

That's a big Elke Sommer.

Good night, y'all.

So, really, since when?

Starting tonight.

I want this to be your evening.

I don't know where to go anymore.

- Thank you very much.

- Hello.

Hello.

That was Mike Gambril, wasn't it?

I think so.

He looked very good.

This was terrific.

Shall we go?

Sure, let's go.

What about tomorrow?

- Tomorrow?

- It's Christmas Eve.

- Are you coming for dinner?

- Is Ariel cooking?

It's takeout from the Four Seasons.

You're safe.

Thanks, IKen.

How about if I stop by?

Let's talk tomorrow.
