"It's" Peeping Toms!

Starring Ted Craft.

And now, here's Ted!

Hello, everybody,

and welcome to "Peeping Toms,"

New York's newest

and grooviest game.

You have just seen

the first half...

of our real-life

candid situation.

Now, in one minute,

you will have to predict...

just what our unsuspecting

subject will do.

You folks there in the audience,

and those of you peeking in at home,

guess along with us, okay? All right.

Now, today, our Peeping Tom's

problem is, chivalry.

What does a fella do

when a pretty girl...

starts taking off all her clothes

right there in front of him?

A blind girl, that is.

Lovely young model

Danielle Breton...

agreed to be our decoy.

Now, Danielle

is not really blind,

but that's what we want

our male friend to think.

Okay, peepers,

look at the board.

You've got 20 seconds

to pick your answer.

"Well, look at that!"

Both of our contestants

have picked the same answer.

Let's see if they're right.

Oh, I am sorry, Pat and Fred,

but better luck next time.

- Right, audience?

All right. And now, before we meet

our contestants for tomorrow,

let's bring out the lovely

Danielle Breton, our blind girl.

- Bravo, Danielle.

- Thank you.

It's so nice to see you.

Danielle, what do you do in real life?

Right now I study

to be a model with Gene Fox,

and also I study

to be an actress.

Great!

That's wonderful, Danielle.

Danielle, let's bring out

our other guest,

Peeping Tom's

own Mr. Chivalry,

Philip Woode.

Hello, Phil. Nice to meet you.

You're a great sport.

Phil, what do you do

in real life?

I'm an advertising manager

for "The Amsterdam Star."

Oh, great.

That's wonderful.

I'm glad to... Oh! Uh-oh.

It's been wonderful

talking with you, Danielle and Phil,

but that music tells us that we just

have time to give away our prizes...

before we have

to say bye-bye.

Danielle, for you, this complete set

of Reynolds stainless steel cutlery.

- Thank you.

- Ha, ha. Congratulations.

And Phil, for you,

good sport that you are,

dining and dancing

for two...

at Manhattan's famous

African Room.

Philip!

I just remembered

that I haven't eaten all day...

and I thought maybe you want

some help with your dinner for two.

I don't bite, you know.

That is, if I'm filled

I don't bite.

I- I have brought

my own cutlery.

- All right, let's go get my car.

- Okay.

... I don't know

what to do, so I just stand there...

and, uh, I feel very stupid

and about, uh...

Then I said

to the photographer...

I said something so terrible you can't

even put it in the French movie.

But he deserved that,

you know.

He's a...

How you say that word?

He's a son of a bastard.

- Son of a b*tch.

- Yes, he was that too. Son of a b*tch.

But I'm not, you know, I'm not

like you Americans' women's liberation.

I don't, uh, I don't

spend my life to hate the men.

I don't like that, but this man,

he have deserve what I tell him.

So, after that have

happen to me, then, uh,

I said to myself, "Now it's time

for you to go from Quebec."

- Quebec?

- Yes.

- I thought you were French.

- Oh, yes, I'm French-Canadian.

It's not the same,

you know.

Quebec is very pretty,

you know, but now, for me,

New York is the home. Is for me...

is for me, freedom, New York.

Yesterday you know

what I have do?

I go to the top

of the Empire State Building.

You know, the...

that building, the big...

And I am up there by myself,

and nobody know I am there.

I look down, I can see

all the little car and the people,

and I'm all by myself,

and nobody knows that I'm there.

Do you like

to be alone?

Sometime I do,

but not tonight.

Danielle, I think

I should take you home now.

I'm sorry.

This is so embarrassing.

I waited for you at the TV studio.

You saw me.

Why can't you

leave me alone?

Look here, Miss Breton

and I were just having a drink.

Mrs. Emil Breton

and you.

I am not married!

I have been divorced for a year.

- But still he follows me.

- Danielle, that is quite enough.

We do not want to discuss our very

private problems in front of strangers.

- Come along now.

- Don't touch me!

- Waiter?

- I will go, but not with you.

- It is important we go home now.

- Yes, sir?

This gentleman

is bothering us.

You better come

with me, sir.

- Just come with me.

- Danielle. Danielle!

Come home with me!

Danielle!

Get your hands off me!

Come on.

Uh, I better take you home.

- Okay.

- Where do you live?

- Staten Island.

- Staten Island?

I thought you said

you lived in New York.

Isn't Staten Island

in New York?

I guess it is.

Come on.

You know, there are

so few people...

that I have

any feeling for.

Not just men, you know.

Ever since

my sister left.

We have had

such a close bond.

Hey. Hey!

Oops!

Well, here

is my apartment.

I have just move in, you know.

I have a dishwasher.

A real dishwasher?

Ah.

I think it's very hot

right here.

I think I'll turn

the thermostat down.

Philip, you know I think

what you should do?

Ooh! You just must

wait there for me.

Oh, Christ.

Philip, what

are you doing?

Does your ex-husband

make a habit...

of standing guard

out there?

Why he is always

following me?

What is so terrible,

you know, is his persistence.

He-He says that we can

work it through,

but I don't want

to work it through.

Some time there are

no solution.

I think you better go.

- Wait. Wait, look. I got an idea.

- No, I think...

- What?

- Why don't I go downstairs.

I'll get in the car.

I'll drive around the block.

And I'll park. And then I'll

come back through the back entrance.

I'll pretend to leave.

Okay?

- I don't know if that's such a good idea to do.

- Trust me.

I got rid of him before.

I can do it again.

- Okay.

- I'll be right back.

I'll wait for you.

You forgot

your cutlery.

Danielle.

Danielle!

- Oh, excuse me.

- Oh, say...

Shh, shh, shh.

- Who was that? Who was that?

- It is my sister.

Come on, take it easy.

You can tell me.

She's so crazy.

She get...

She get so angry with me

when I'm with anyone,

except for her,

my husband and now you.

Why is she here?

Because we are twins

and today is our birthday...

and she can come visit me but she know

that she have to go back...

and so...

And so she feel very bad.

- Look, why don't I leave.

- No, no, no! Please?

- "Stay with me."

- Okay.

I look so terrible,

I think.

- No.

- I have such a headache.

- I have had too much Manhattans last night.

- A little.

Philip, I think

I would feel better.

I have no more

of these pills.

- Could you get me some at the drug store?

- Sure.

- You know where is Bay Street?

- Yeah.

And then we have

a happy birthday together.

$4.50.

$.79, $.89, $ 1.29.

That's $ 7.68.

- Yes.

- You must do as I tell you.

- Yes, I...

- You are not well.

Yes, I know.

Please, but I have only...

I have only two pills left.

Please hurry.

Yeah, that one's fine.

And I'd like something written on it.

Can't have it.

The cake decorator isn't in yet.
