Hello, New Jersey!

Don't I get a hello?
350
00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:38,648
Hello, Gillian.
351
00:21:39,525 --> 00:21:42,085
Kiss me. I'm gonna be
your wicked stepmother.
352
00:21:45,398 --> 00:21:46,422
There you go.
353
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:48,157
Hello. And who is this?
354
00:21:49,068 --> 00:21:51,969
Nanny Maureen. I brought her in case
you couldn't handle the kids.
355
00:21:52,605 --> 00:21:54,197
Maureen's getting a divorce.
356
00:21:54,474 --> 00:21:56,704
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
357
00:21:57,377 --> 00:22:00,710

That is so wise.
Annabel, remember that.
360

Excellent!

Excellent. I've got this covered.
You can have the day off.

...for Bosnian refugees.
367
00:22:21,067 --> 00:22:24,127
I am. I'm having
my eggs harvested.
368

Don't worry! See you later.

Are we at the right time?
Yeah, let's go.

"That it was I and I alone...

...who had the idea for
the great and daring mouse plot.

We all have our moments
of brilliance and glory...
389
00:24:15,815 --> 00:24:18,079
...and this was mine.
390
00:24:18,351 --> 00:24:19,443
'Why don't we, ' I said...
391
00:24:19,619 --> 00:24:23,419
...'slip it into one of
Mrs. Pratchett's jars of sweets?
392
00:24:23,589 --> 00:24:24,749
And then...
393
00:24:24,924 --> 00:24:27,791
...when she puts her dirty hand in
to grab a handful...
394
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,454
...she will grab a stinky
dead mouse instead.'
395
00:24:32,698 --> 00:24:34,893
The other four stared at me in wonder.
396
00:24:35,068 --> 00:24:39,129
Then, as the sheer genius
of the plot began to sink in...
397
00:24:39,405 --> 00:24:41,430
...they all started grinning.
398
00:24:41,707 --> 00:24:45,609
They slapped me on the back, cheered
me and danced around the classroom.
399
00:24:45,778 --> 00:24:47,541
'We will do it today! ' they cried.
400
00:24:47,713 --> 00:24:50,705
'We'll do it on the way home.
You had the idea, ' they said to me.

puts the mouse in the jar."'

- That's mine.

Could you give me a hand
with these used books?

And this is her best friend Tacy,
whose real name is Anastasia.

to tell you, is Thelma.

ANNABEL:
Ew.
408
00:25:15,441 --> 00:25:18,103
The illustrations are hand-tipped.
409
00:25:18,911 --> 00:25:20,936
And that's why it costs so much?
410
00:25:21,414 --> 00:25:23,473
That's why it's worth so much.

I want all of them.

00:25:25,485 --> 00:25:26,577
Uh, I'll think about it.

KATHLEEN: That's a lot for your dad
to buy at one time.

That's not my dad.
That's my nephew.

I don't really think
that he could be your nephew.

No, no, no. It's true.

- That's a handkerchief.

Do children even know
what handkerchiefs are?
433

A handkerchief is a Kleenex
that you don't throw away. See?
434

My mother embroidered this for me.

daisies are my favorite flower.

I've been in business forever.

when I was 6, and I used to watch her.

She wasn't just selling books.
460

She was helping people become
whatever they were going to be.
461
00:27:48,928 --> 00:27:51,897
When you read a book as a child,
it becomes part of your identity...
462
00:27:52,064 --> 00:27:54,555
...in a way that no other reading
in your life does.
463
00:27:54,734 --> 00:27:56,634
And I have gotten carried away.

Do you want the West Side...
863
00:52:32,276 --> 00:52:35,473
...to become one big,
gigantic strip mall?
864
00:52:35,646 --> 00:52:37,113
CROWD:
No!
865
00:52:37,315 --> 00:52:40,614
Do you want to get off the subway
at 72nd and Broadway...
866
00:52:40,885 --> 00:52:43,945
...and not even know
you're in New York City?
867
00:52:44,255 --> 00:52:47,088
Can we save
The Shop Around the Corner?
868
00:52:47,291 --> 00:52:48,622
CROWD:
Yes!
869
00:52:48,893 --> 00:52:50,986
We're here in front of
The Shop Around the Corner...
870
00:52:51,162 --> 00:52:53,460
... the famous West Side
children's bookstore...
871
00:52:53,631 --> 00:52:56,156
... now on the verge of having
to close its doors...
872
00:52:56,334 --> 00:52:58,325
... because the big bad wolf,
Fox Books...
873
00:52:58,536 --> 00:53:00,663
... has opened only
a few hundred feet away...
874
00:53:00,938 --> 00:53:05,068
... wooing customers with its sharp
discounts and designer coffee.
875
00:53:06,277 --> 00:53:08,108
They have to have
discounts and lattes...
876
00:53:08,279 --> 00:53:10,474
... because their workers
have never read a book.
877
00:53:10,648 --> 00:53:13,583
She's not as nice as she seems on TV.
878
00:53:13,818 --> 00:53:15,581
- You met her?
- Yeah.
879
00:53:15,753 --> 00:53:17,687
Boy, she's a pill.
880
00:53:18,156 --> 00:53:20,283
Probably ain't as fine
as she look on TV either.
881
00:53:20,858 --> 00:53:25,352
Oh, no, no. She's beautiful.
But she's a pill.
882
00:53:25,630 --> 00:53:26,756
KEVIN:
You don't feel bad...
883
00:53:26,931 --> 00:53:30,423
...about sending her ass back
to the projects with food stamps?
884
00:53:30,635 --> 00:53:32,159
Broke, single, white lady.
885
00:53:32,436 --> 00:53:33,528
It's not personal.
886
00:53:33,704 --> 00:53:35,569
- It's business.
- Yeah.
887
00:53:35,773 --> 00:53:38,173
Hey, here's a good-looking guy!
888
00:53:38,442 --> 00:53:41,070
I sell cheap books.
I do. So sue me.
889
00:53:41,612 --> 00:53:44,206
REPORTER: And that, in a nutshell,
is the Fox Books philosophy.
890
00:53:45,149 --> 00:53:46,173
That's what you said?
891
00:53:46,350 --> 00:53:47,840
REPORTER:
Discount them and sell them.
892
00:53:48,019 --> 00:53:49,577
That's not all I said.
893
00:53:49,821 --> 00:53:52,483
I can't believe those bastards.
I said we were great!
894
00:53:52,723 --> 00:53:55,157
I said you could read for hours
and no one will bother you.
895
00:53:55,393 --> 00:53:58,624
I said we had 150,000 titles. I showed
them the New York City section.
896
00:53:58,796 --> 00:54:00,889
I said we were a goddamn piazza.
897
00:54:01,499 --> 00:54:03,524
A place in this city where
people could mingle.
898
00:54:03,701 --> 00:54:04,725
Piazza?
899
00:54:04,902 --> 00:54:06,529
I was eloquent!
900
00:54:06,904 --> 00:54:08,997
- Shit!
- A piazza.
901
00:54:09,340 --> 00:54:12,867
It's inevitable. People want
to turn her into Joan of Arc.
902
00:54:13,144 --> 00:54:14,873
And you into Attila the Hun.
903
00:54:15,146 --> 00:54:18,013
Not me personally,
but the company, yeah.
904
00:54:19,250 --> 00:54:20,683
I have met Joe Fox.
905
00:54:21,352 --> 00:54:24,879
I've heard him compare
his store to a Price Club...
906
00:54:25,156 --> 00:54:27,624
... and the books in it
to cans of olive oil.
907
00:54:31,762 --> 00:54:34,697
The bookstore, tell us about it.
908
00:54:36,234 --> 00:54:41,331
The Shop Around the Corner has
a kind of Jeffersonian purity to it...
909
00:54:41,572 --> 00:54:46,168
... that the city needs in order
to maintain historical integrity.
910
00:54:46,344 --> 00:54:47,675
SIDNEY-ANN:
Jeffersonian purity.
911
00:54:47,845 --> 00:54:49,870
That was nice. Thank you.
Thank you. Sounded good.
912
00:54:50,214 --> 00:54:52,148
- Are you taping this?
- Yeah, I'm taping this.
913
00:54:52,350 --> 00:54:54,910
Technologically speaking,
the world's out of hand.

Take the VCR.
915
00:54:57,154 --> 00:55:01,386
The whole idea behind the VCR
is that it makes it possible...
916
00:55:01,659 --> 00:55:05,151
... for you to tape what's on TV
when you leave the house.
917
00:55:05,396 --> 00:55:07,796
The whole idea
behind leaving the house...
918
00:55:08,065 --> 00:55:11,592
... is so you can miss
what's on television.
919
00:55:11,769 --> 00:55:13,703
- I've heard you say that before.
- She hasn't.

SIDNEY-ANN:
Absolutely.
921
00:55:15,406 --> 00:55:16,805
Right.

00:55:17,208 --> 00:55:18,607
FRANK:
She gets it.
923
00:55:18,876 --> 00:55:20,810
Radio. There's a medium
I can get behind.

00:55:22,179 --> 00:55:23,771
You gonna start collecting radios now?

We're on television.

She's coming on to you.
929
00:55:32,890 --> 00:55:34,790
They do this on television.

FRANK:
The Shop Around the Corner...
931
00:55:36,427 --> 00:55:38,952
... it's a true New York treasure.
932
00:55:39,230 --> 00:55:40,458
As are you.

[FRANK LAUGHS]
934
00:55:44,101 --> 00:55:46,262
Honestly, I'd love to have you back.

KATHLEEN:
Is she sweating?
936
00:55:48,339 --> 00:55:50,830
She's touching herself.
And she's sweating.
937
00:55:51,008 --> 00:55:52,100
Anytime.
938
00:55:54,312 --> 00:55:55,609
We can turn it off.

00:55:55,846 --> 00:55:57,143
Oh, my God.
940
00:55:57,415 --> 00:56:00,578
I just want to say that
yours is the only show I watch.
941
00:56:01,085 --> 00:56:02,143
Oh, my God.
942
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,413
No. I was being polite.
943
00:56:04,588 --> 00:56:06,579
- Thank you, Frank Navasky.
- No, thank you're.
944
00:56:06,757 --> 00:56:08,418
"Thank you're"?
I'm sorry.
945
00:56:08,659 --> 00:56:09,990
Thank you're?
946
00:56:10,161 --> 00:56:12,152
Thank you're, ladies and gentlemen.

some eucalyptus candles...

...because it makes
my apartment smell mossy.
951

Then I'm going to the market,
and I can't decide whether to get...

00:56:43,240 --> 00:56:46,232
...sausage for the meat sauce,
or chopped meat.

You know what? Clam sauce.

00:56:50,281 --> 00:56:51,714

[DOOR CLOSES]
957
00:56:57,154 --> 00:56:59,622
Don't tell me.
Not the slightest difference?
958
00:57:01,425 --> 00:57:03,120
How can that be?
959
00:57:03,394 --> 00:57:06,852
All this publicity
and not one bit of difference?

961
00:57:11,569 --> 00:57:13,366
What would Mom have done?

00:57:14,405 --> 00:57:17,306
Well, let's ask her.

Cecilia, what should we do?

00:57:25,649 --> 00:57:27,446
- Birdie?
- Shh.

Not really?

She could be a real dog, man.

I'm only staying 10 minutes.

I'll say hello, have a cup
of coffee and then I'll split.

Why am I doing this?
Why am I compelled to meet her? Why?

Relax. You're just taking it
to the next level.

01:12:28,852 --> 01:12:31,878
Though I hardly believe
what I said mattered to this man.
1202
01:12:32,055 --> 01:12:35,149
To him, I am just a bug to be crushed.
1203
01:12:35,892 --> 01:12:37,154
But what if it did?
1204
01:12:37,393 --> 01:12:41,386
No matter what he's done to me,
there is no excuse for my behavior.
1205
01:12:42,098 --> 01:12:43,497
Anyway...
1206
01:12:43,733 --> 01:12:46,167
... I so wanted to talk to you.
1207
01:12:46,903 --> 01:12:49,531
I hope you have a good reason
for not being there last night.
1208
01:12:49,706 --> 01:12:53,608
You don't seem like the kind of
person who'd do something like that.
1209
01:12:54,210 --> 01:12:56,337
The odd thing about this
form of communication...
1210
01:12:56,513 --> 01:12:59,380
... is that you're more likely to talk
about nothing than something.
1211
01:12:59,549 --> 01:13:01,107
But I just want to say...
1212
01:13:01,351 --> 01:13:04,946
... that all this nothing has meant
more to me than so many...
1213
01:13:05,188 --> 01:13:06,815
... somethings.
1214
01:13:08,124 --> 01:13:09,921
So thanks.

JOE:
I am in...
1217
01:14:26,703 --> 01:14:28,432
... Vancouver.
1218
01:14:38,014 --> 01:14:41,177
I was stuck in a meeting
which I couldn't get out of...
1219
01:14:41,417 --> 01:14:42,611
... and...
1220
01:14:42,952 --> 01:14:44,715
... the electricity went out.
1221
01:14:44,988 --> 01:14:46,478
And...
1222
01:14:46,656 --> 01:14:47,953
... we were trapped...
1223
01:14:48,124 --> 01:14:50,319
... on the 38th floor.
1224
01:14:51,995 --> 01:14:54,486
And the telephone system blew too.
1225
01:15:01,671 --> 01:15:03,502
Amazingly enough.
1226
01:15:38,608 --> 01:15:40,371
Dear friend:
1227
01:15:43,379 --> 01:15:46,280
I cannot tell you
what happened last night.
1228
01:15:47,550 --> 01:15:50,041
But I beg you
from the bottom of my heart...
1229
01:15:50,219 --> 01:15:52,346
... to forgive me for not being there.
1230
01:16:00,797 --> 01:16:02,389
For what happened.
1231
01:16:05,034 --> 01:16:08,595
I feel terrible that you
found yourself in a situation...
1232
01:16:08,771 --> 01:16:11,638
... that caused you additional pain.
1233
01:16:13,910 --> 01:16:15,878
But I'm absolutely sure...
1234
01:16:16,212 --> 01:16:19,739
... that whatever you said
last night was provoked.
1235
01:16:20,016 --> 01:16:21,643
Even deserved.
1236
01:16:25,154 --> 01:16:29,420
Everyone says things they regret
when they're worried or stressed.
1237
01:16:31,461 --> 01:16:34,828
You were expecting to see
someone you trusted...
1238
01:16:35,064 --> 01:16:37,464
... and met the enemy instead.
1239
01:16:41,104 --> 01:16:42,969
The fault is mine.
1240
01:16:45,475 --> 01:16:48,137
Someday I'll explain everything.
1241
01:16:48,678 --> 01:16:49,975
Meanwhile...
1242
01:16:50,146 --> 01:16:51,579
... I'm still here.
1243
01:16:52,582 --> 01:16:53,776
Talk to me.
1244
01:16:53,950 --> 01:16:56,783
Did he say anything about
wanting to meet you again?
1245
01:16:56,953 --> 01:16:58,477
No, not really.
1246
01:16:59,088 --> 01:17:00,578
Listen, it doesn't matter.
1247
01:17:00,757 --> 01:17:03,590
We'll just be like George Bernard
Shaw and Mrs. Patrick Campbell.
1248
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:04,954
We'll write letters our whole lives.
1249
01:17:06,763 --> 01:17:09,493
BIRDIE: Thank you for the scones.
They look lovely.
1250
01:17:09,766 --> 01:17:13,065
Birdie, where was this one taken?
1251
01:17:13,503 --> 01:17:14,697
Seville.
1252
01:17:14,871 --> 01:17:17,169
KATHLEEN: When you fell madly in love?
BIRDIE: Yes.
1253
01:17:17,940 --> 01:17:20,807
So, dearie,
what have you decided to do?
1254
01:17:21,077 --> 01:17:23,568
Close. We're going to close.
1255
01:17:24,380 --> 01:17:25,438
Close.
1256
01:17:26,182 --> 01:17:30,516
Closing the store is
the brave thing to do.
1257
01:17:31,287 --> 01:17:33,881
You are such a liar.
But thank you.
1258
01:17:35,224 --> 01:17:40,287
You are daring to imagine that
you could have a different life.
1259
01:17:41,097 --> 01:17:46,000
I know it doesn't feel like that.
You feel like a big, fat failure now.
1260
01:17:46,235 --> 01:17:47,395
But you're not.
1261
01:17:47,804 --> 01:17:51,900
You are marching into
the unknown, armed with...
1262
01:17:52,108 --> 01:17:53,132
...nothing.
1263
01:17:53,843 --> 01:17:55,538
Have a sandwich.
1264
01:17:56,679 --> 01:18:00,080
Not nothing.
I have a little money saved.
1265
01:18:00,249 --> 01:18:04,117
If you need more, ask me.
I'm very rich.
1266
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:07,118
I bought Intel at six.
1267
01:18:10,493 --> 01:18:13,189
I suppose you want me
to tell you who it was...
1268
01:18:13,429 --> 01:18:15,761
...I fell madly in love with.
1269
01:18:16,566 --> 01:18:17,931
But I'm not going to tell.
1270
01:18:18,835 --> 01:18:20,166
Who was it, Birdie?
1271
01:18:21,137 --> 01:18:24,072
Come on, tell. Uch. That's so mean.
1272
01:18:25,241 --> 01:18:26,538
But so romantic.
1273
01:18:26,709 --> 01:18:29,143
BIRDIE: - It wasn't meant to be.
- Why not?
1274
01:18:30,279 --> 01:18:31,837
He ran Spain.
1275
01:18:33,082 --> 01:18:34,447
Spain?
1276
01:18:34,684 --> 01:18:37,209
The country, he ran it.
It was his job.
1277
01:18:37,453 --> 01:18:39,216
And then he died.
1278
01:18:39,455 --> 01:18:41,082
Just as well.
1279
01:18:41,424 --> 01:18:42,857
Milk or lemon?
1280
01:18:44,393 --> 01:18:47,521
She fell in love with
Generalissimo Franco.
1281
01:18:47,697 --> 01:18:49,756
Don't say that.
We don't know that for sure.
1282
01:18:49,932 --> 01:18:53,026
Who else could it have been?
It was around 1960.
1283
01:18:53,202 --> 01:18:55,796
- Do you want some popcorn?
- I can't believe this.
1284
01:18:57,039 --> 01:19:01,601
It's not like he was something normal,
like a socialist or an anarchist.
1285
01:19:01,878 --> 01:19:03,470
It happened in Spain.
1286
01:19:03,679 --> 01:19:05,977
People do stupid things
in foreign countries.
1287
01:19:06,182 --> 01:19:09,208
They buy leather jackets
for much more than they're worth.
1288
01:19:09,452 --> 01:19:12,751
But they don't fall in love
with fascist dictators.

[WHISPERING]
Birdie is a very special person to me.
1290
01:19:21,998 --> 01:19:24,694
She is practically my surrogate mother.

01:19:24,901 --> 01:19:26,334

She's out of her mind.
1292

doesn't take politics as seriously as I do.

You need quiet
while a hot dog is singing?
1297
01:19:41,817 --> 01:19:44,251
I have something to tell you, Frank.
1298
01:19:45,354 --> 01:19:47,652
- I didn't vote.
- What?
1299
01:19:47,823 --> 01:19:49,654
In the last mayoral election...
1300
01:19:49,825 --> 01:19:52,817
...when Rudy Giuliani was running
against Ruth Messinger...
1301
01:19:53,095 --> 01:19:54,824
...I went to get a manicure.
1302
01:19:55,031 --> 01:19:57,090
And forgot to vote.
1303
01:19:57,500 --> 01:19:58,933
Since when do you get manicures?
1304
01:19:59,101 --> 01:20:02,161
I suppose you could never be with
a woman who got manicures?
1305
01:20:03,306 --> 01:20:05,774
It's okay. I forgive you.
1306

You forgive me?

So are you.
1318
01:20:50,152 --> 01:20:54,316
And I'm so honored that
you'd want to be with me...
1319
01:20:54,490 --> 01:20:58,586
...because you wouldn't be with
anyone who wasn't truly worthy.

- No, God, don't...

01:37:28,683 --> 01:37:30,275
- Did you come to gloat?
- No.
1544
01:37:30,552 --> 01:37:32,417
- To offer me a job?
- I would never...
1545
01:37:32,687 --> 01:37:35,986
I have plenty of offers.
I got offered a job by...
1546
01:37:36,224 --> 01:37:38,317
- By my former...
- Your former?
1547
01:37:39,194 --> 01:37:40,218
We broke up.
1548
01:37:40,428 --> 01:37:43,829
That's too bad.
You were so perfect for each other.
1549
01:37:44,299 --> 01:37:45,493
Oh.
1550
01:37:47,035 --> 01:37:49,902
I don't mean to say things like that.
No matter what you've done...
1551
01:37:50,171 --> 01:37:52,435
...there's no excuse
for my saying that.
1552
01:37:52,607 --> 01:37:53,835
Every time I see you...
1553
01:37:54,009 --> 01:37:56,239
Things like that just
fly out of your mouth.
1554
01:37:58,813 --> 01:38:00,007
I brought you flowers.
1555
01:38:02,050 --> 01:38:03,540
Ohh.
1556
01:38:03,718 --> 01:38:04,742
Thank you.
1557
01:38:10,191 --> 01:38:12,455
Why don't I just put these
in some water?
1558
01:38:13,928 --> 01:38:15,828
You're sick.
You should sit down.
1559
01:38:21,703 --> 01:38:23,136
I need a vase.
1560
01:38:24,139 --> 01:38:26,107
Above the refrigerator.
1561
01:38:26,641 --> 01:38:29,041
JOE:
There it is. Obviously.
1562
01:38:30,211 --> 01:38:32,941
George says hello, by the way.
1563
01:38:34,749 --> 01:38:36,216
He told me you were sick.
1564
01:38:36,551 --> 01:38:37,984
How is George?
1565
01:38:39,487 --> 01:38:41,387
Great, really great.
1566
01:38:41,756 --> 01:38:44,122
He's revolutionizing the place.
1567
01:38:44,359 --> 01:38:45,792
You can't work in his department...
1568
01:38:46,061 --> 01:38:48,655
...unless you have a Ph.D.
In Children's Literature.
1569
01:38:48,963 --> 01:38:50,555
I love daisies.
1570
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:54,234
- You told me.
- They're so friendly.
1571
01:38:54,602 --> 01:38:57,901
Don't you think daisies
are the friendliest flower?
1572
01:38:58,073 --> 01:38:59,097
I do.
1573
01:39:00,308 --> 01:39:01,400
When did you break up?
1574
01:39:02,744 --> 01:39:03,904
Couple of weeks ago.
1575
01:39:04,746 --> 01:39:07,408
Everyone is breaking up.
You. Me.
1576
01:39:07,615 --> 01:39:11,142
This other person I know broke up
with someone in an elevator.
1577
01:39:11,386 --> 01:39:14,116
Or after it, or just outside it or...
1578
01:39:14,389 --> 01:39:16,118
It got stuck.
1579
01:39:16,658 --> 01:39:20,025
When I saw you at the coffee place,
I was waiting for him.
1580
01:39:20,295 --> 01:39:21,592
And I was...
1581
01:39:21,796 --> 01:39:23,093
Charming.
1582
01:39:23,665 --> 01:39:25,155
I was not charming.
1583
01:39:25,400 --> 01:39:27,095
JOE:
You looked charming. Tea?
1584
01:39:27,302 --> 01:39:28,826
Yes. I was...
1585
01:39:29,003 --> 01:39:31,699
I was upset and horrible.
1586
01:39:32,340 --> 01:39:34,035
JOE: - Honey?
- Yes.
1587
01:39:34,209 --> 01:39:35,506
I was the horrible one.
1588
01:39:35,710 --> 01:39:37,302
Well, that's true.
1589
01:39:37,545 --> 01:39:40,013
But I have no excuse.
1590
01:39:40,648 --> 01:39:42,809
Oh, I see what you're saying.
1591
01:39:43,818 --> 01:39:45,012
That's interesting.
1592
01:39:45,286 --> 01:39:47,277
Whereas I am a horrible person...
1593
01:39:47,489 --> 01:39:51,050
...therefore I have no choice
but to be horrible.
1594
01:39:51,326 --> 01:39:54,420
That's what you're saying.
But that's all right.
1595
01:39:54,629 --> 01:39:57,291
I put you out of business so...
1596
01:39:57,932 --> 01:39:59,456
...you're entitled to hate me.
1597
01:40:00,935 --> 01:40:02,459
I don't hate you.
1598
01:40:03,438 --> 01:40:05,633
But you'll never forgive me.
1599
01:40:06,007 --> 01:40:08,168
- Just like Elizabeth.
- Who?
1600
01:40:08,843 --> 01:40:11,073
Elizabeth Bennet in
Pride and Prejudice.
1601
01:40:11,312 --> 01:40:12,336
She was too proud.
1602
01:40:12,547 --> 01:40:14,981
I thought you hated
Pride and Prejudice.
1603
01:40:15,216 --> 01:40:17,707
Or was she too prejudiced...
1604
01:40:17,986 --> 01:40:20,454
...and Mr. Darcy is too proud?
1605
01:40:20,688 --> 01:40:22,053
I can't remember.
1606
01:40:28,663 --> 01:40:30,221
It wasn't personal.
1607
01:40:30,532 --> 01:40:33,865
What is that supposed to mean?
I'm so sick of that.
1608
01:40:34,102 --> 01:40:37,469
All that means is that
it wasn't personal to you.
1609
01:40:37,705 --> 01:40:39,468
But it was personal to me.
1610
01:40:39,707 --> 01:40:41,971
It's personal to a lot of people.
1611
01:40:42,210 --> 01:40:45,236
What is so wrong
with being personal anyway?
1612
01:40:46,414 --> 01:40:47,745
Nothing.
1613
01:40:48,016 --> 01:40:52,112
Whatever else anything is,
it ought to begin by being personal.
1614
01:40:55,490 --> 01:40:57,890
My head is starting to get fuzzy.
1615
01:41:03,264 --> 01:41:05,198
Why did you stop by again?
I forget.
1616
01:41:06,734 --> 01:41:07,996
I wanted to be your friend.
1617
01:41:09,204 --> 01:41:10,569
Oh.
1618
01:41:11,406 --> 01:41:13,533
I knew it wasn't possible.
1619
01:41:14,642 --> 01:41:17,702
Sometimes a guy
just wants the impossible.
1620
01:41:27,655 --> 01:41:29,555
Can I ask you a question?
1621
01:41:29,757 --> 01:41:30,951
What?
1622
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:35,456
What happened with that guy
at the café?
1623
01:41:36,331 --> 01:41:37,457
Nothing.
1624
01:41:37,665 --> 01:41:39,530
But you're crazy about him?
1625
01:41:40,902 --> 01:41:41,926
Yes, I am.
1626
01:41:42,103 --> 01:41:45,539
Why don't you run off with him?
What are you waiting for?
1627
01:41:47,942 --> 01:41:49,910
I don't actually know him.
1628
01:41:50,478 --> 01:41:51,536
Really?
1629
01:41:54,115 --> 01:41:56,777
I only know him through...
1630
01:41:57,619 --> 01:41:59,086
You won't believe this.
1631
01:41:59,254 --> 01:42:00,915
JOE:
Let me guess.
1632
01:42:01,456 --> 01:42:02,821
Through the Internet?
1633
01:42:04,292 --> 01:42:05,850
Yes.
1634
01:42:07,762 --> 01:42:08,854
JOE:
Hmm.
1635
01:42:09,063 --> 01:42:11,531
"You've got mail."
1636
01:42:11,699 --> 01:42:13,166
Yes.
1637
01:42:15,503 --> 01:42:16,868
Those are very powerful words.
1638
01:42:17,505 --> 01:42:18,995
Yes.
1639
01:42:22,076 --> 01:42:23,839
I'm happy for him.
1640
01:42:25,213 --> 01:42:26,942
Although...
1641
01:42:28,283 --> 01:42:30,217
Could I just make a suggestion?
1642
01:42:30,852 --> 01:42:32,183
What?
1643
01:42:32,620 --> 01:42:34,087
I think...
1644
01:42:34,622 --> 01:42:36,317
...you should meet him.
1645
01:42:36,824 --> 01:42:39,292
No, wait, I take that back.
1646
01:42:40,228 --> 01:42:43,095
Why would you meet
somebody you're crazy about?
1647
01:42:43,331 --> 01:42:47,028
I hardly think I need to take
advice from a person who...
1648
01:42:49,404 --> 01:42:51,599
I can see I bring out
the worst in you.
1649
01:42:51,839 --> 01:42:54,467
Let me help you
to not say something...
1650
01:42:54,709 --> 01:42:59,169
...you'll torture yourself about
for years to come.
1651
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,555
I hope you feel better soon.
1652
01:43:15,897 --> 01:43:18,195
It'd be a shame to miss
New York in the spring.
1653
01:43:22,437 --> 01:43:23,995
Thank you for the daisies.
1654
01:43:35,083 --> 01:43:37,711
Well, you take care.
1655
01:43:39,153 --> 01:43:40,177
I will.
1656
01:43:41,422 --> 01:43:42,514
Goodbye.
1657
01:43:44,392 --> 01:43:45,757
Goodbye.
1658
01:44:02,777 --> 01:44:04,972
KATHLEEN:
I've been thinking about this...
1659
01:44:05,213 --> 01:44:07,306
... and I think we should meet.
1660
01:44:13,988 --> 01:44:15,580
JOE:
We should meet.
1661
01:44:16,257 --> 01:44:18,054
And we will meet.
1662
01:44:18,559 --> 01:44:22,552
But I'm in the middle
of a project that needs...
1663
01:44:27,769 --> 01:44:29,430
... tweaking.
1664
01:44:49,223 --> 01:44:50,656
Some tweaking?
1665
01:44:51,292 --> 01:44:53,192
A project that needed...
1666
01:44:53,361 --> 01:44:54,487
..."tweaking."
1667
01:44:54,662 --> 01:44:58,792
- Yeah, that's what he said.
- T-W-E-A-K-l-N-G? Tweaking.
1668
01:44:59,500 --> 01:45:02,469
It sounds to me like he's married.
1669
01:45:02,670 --> 01:45:03,830
Three kids.
1670
01:45:04,005 --> 01:45:06,997
That's a terrible thing to say.
He couldn't be married.
1671
01:45:07,275 --> 01:45:08,469
How do you know?
1672
01:45:08,676 --> 01:45:10,871
Have you said, "Are you married?"
1673
01:45:11,145 --> 01:45:13,739
No, I'm not going to... No.
1674
01:45:15,149 --> 01:45:18,550
KATHLEEN: I know this is a little late
to be asking but...
1675
01:45:19,654 --> 01:45:21,144
... are you married?
1676
01:45:24,659 --> 01:45:26,126
JOE:
Am I married?
1677
01:45:26,327 --> 01:45:28,295
What kind of question is that?
1678
01:45:28,863 --> 01:45:31,764
How can you ask me that?
Don't you know me at all?
1679
01:45:32,033 --> 01:45:33,898
Oh, wait, I get it.
1680
01:45:34,535 --> 01:45:37,834
Your friends are saying the reason
we haven't met is I'm married.
1681
01:45:38,039 --> 01:45:39,506
Am I right?
1682
01:45:40,842 --> 01:45:43,037
- So he didn't answer the question.
- Yes, he did.
1683
01:45:43,311 --> 01:45:46,212
- He did not.
- He did. He did. He nailed me.
1684
01:45:46,481 --> 01:45:50,383
He knew what I was after which is,
by the way, exactly like him.
1685
01:45:50,651 --> 01:45:53,882
He did not answer
the question, did he?
1686
01:45:55,156 --> 01:45:56,521
No.
1687
01:45:57,725 --> 01:45:59,920
Maybe he's fat.
1688
01:46:00,595 --> 01:46:02,529
He's fat. He's a fatty.
1689
01:46:03,297 --> 01:46:04,321
I don't care.
1690
01:46:04,499 --> 01:46:06,433
You don't care that he's so fat...
1691
01:46:06,667 --> 01:46:10,364
...he has to be removed from his house
by a crane. You don't care.
1692
01:46:10,571 --> 01:46:12,004
KATHLEEN:
That is very unlikely.
1693
01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:14,572
That is completely ridiculous.
1694
01:46:15,243 --> 01:46:17,040
What's his handle?
1695
01:46:17,211 --> 01:46:18,542
Uh...
1696
01:46:20,348 --> 01:46:21,838
I'm not going to write him.
1697
01:46:22,083 --> 01:46:24,108
You think I'm going to e-mail him?
1698
01:46:26,420 --> 01:46:28,012
All right, N-Y-1-5-2.
1699
01:46:28,322 --> 01:46:30,916
N-Y-1-5-2? 152.
1700
01:46:31,192 --> 01:46:33,319
He's 152 years old.
1701
01:46:34,095 --> 01:46:36,825
He's had 152 moles removed...
1702
01:46:37,064 --> 01:46:39,965
...so now he's got
152 pockmarks on his...
1703
01:46:40,635 --> 01:46:42,262
on his face.
1704
01:46:42,570 --> 01:46:46,028
The number of people who think
he looks like Clark Gable.
1705
01:46:46,340 --> 01:46:50,140
152 people who think
he looks like a Clark Bar.
1706
01:46:50,711 --> 01:46:52,576
[KATHLEEN LAUGHS]
1707
01:46:53,981 --> 01:46:57,576
KATHLEEN: - Why'd I even tell you?
- 152 stitches from his nose job.
1708
01:46:57,852 --> 01:47:00,878
The number of his souvenir
shot glasses...
1709
01:47:01,122 --> 01:47:04,614
...that he's collected
in his travels.
1710
01:47:05,593 --> 01:47:07,117
His address.
1711
01:47:07,395 --> 01:47:11,263
No, he would never do
anything that prosaic.
1712
01:47:15,303 --> 01:47:18,363
The only thing I
really care about is that...
1713
01:47:18,573 --> 01:47:21,736
...aside from the married thing
and the jail thing...
1714
01:47:21,943 --> 01:47:24,434
...is the boat thing.
1715
01:47:25,279 --> 01:47:26,303
What boat thing?
1716
01:47:26,480 --> 01:47:28,778
I could never be
with someone who had a boat.
1717
01:47:30,484 --> 01:47:31,951
I have a boat.
1718
01:47:32,753 --> 01:47:34,311
Oh.
1719
01:47:34,488 --> 01:47:37,082
Which clinches it.
We'll never be together.
1720
01:47:37,425 --> 01:47:38,983
- How many?
- Three.
1721
01:47:39,260 --> 01:47:40,625
- Allow me.
- Thank you.
1722
01:47:40,828 --> 01:47:44,457
I could never be with
someone who likes Joni Mitchell.
1723
01:47:44,699 --> 01:47:47,759
It's cloud's illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
1724
01:47:47,969 --> 01:47:51,405
What does that mean?
Is she a pilot?
1725

It must be a metaphor,
but I don't know what it is.

JOE:
How's your book coming?
1727
01:47:57,812 --> 01:48:00,645
KATHLEEN: There's this
children's book editor I know.
1728
01:48:00,915 --> 01:48:03,611
She's excited to read it
when I'm finished.
1729
01:48:03,818 --> 01:48:06,116
Who would ever have thought
that I would write?
1730
01:48:06,354 --> 01:48:08,686
- If I hadn't had all this time...
- Uh-huh.
1731
01:48:09,624 --> 01:48:11,023
- You know what?
- What?
1732
01:48:11,559 --> 01:48:15,689
The truth is he was the one who
started me thinking about writing.
1733
01:48:16,831 --> 01:48:20,164
Mr. 152 Felony Indictments.
1734
01:48:21,202 --> 01:48:24,729
Mr. 152 Insights Into My Soul.
1735

Oh. Whoa. Yeah. Oh.

... Saturday?
1746
01:48:59,073 --> 01:49:00,870
Four o'clock.
1747
01:49:01,242 --> 01:49:03,506
There's a place in Riverside Park
at 91 st Street...
1748
01:49:03,678 --> 01:49:06,408
... where the path curves
and there's a garden.
1749
01:49:06,681 --> 01:49:09,047

1750
01:49:09,717 --> 01:49:11,014

1751
01:49:11,252 --> 01:49:12,879
Ready? And...
1752
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:14,451
Doot.
1753
01:49:14,622 --> 01:49:15,987
There it goes.
1754
01:49:16,991 --> 01:49:18,856
- Today?
- Today.
1755
01:49:19,026 --> 01:49:20,050
Wow.
1756
01:49:20,227 --> 01:49:22,593
I know. In Riverside Park.
1757
01:49:23,998 --> 01:49:25,989
That would mean he's a Westsider.
1758
01:49:26,200 --> 01:49:28,930
Maybe I've seen him
and don't even know it.
1759
01:49:29,136 --> 01:49:31,400
JOE: You could have seen him
every day and not know it.

KATHLEEN:
It's very possible.
1761
01:49:33,107 --> 01:49:35,075
- He could be anyone.
- He could be that guy.
1762
01:49:35,242 --> 01:49:37,233
And those flowers are for you.
1763
01:49:38,879 --> 01:49:41,313
JOE: - Could be the Zipper Man.
- Who's that?
1764
01:49:41,582 --> 01:49:42,776
The Zipper Man.
1765
01:49:43,050 --> 01:49:44,074
Who is that?
1766
01:49:44,251 --> 01:49:46,742
He repairs zippers
on Amsterdam Avenue.
1767
01:49:46,954 --> 01:49:50,390
- Will you cut it out?
- You'd never have to buy new luggage.

...and you hadn't been
The Shop Around the Corner...

...and you and I had just met.
1779

- I know.
- Yeah. Yeah.
1780
01:50:26,293 --> 01:50:28,318
I'd have asked for your number.
1781

we both shall live?"

You and I would never
have been at war.

which video to rent on a Saturday night.

...and not forgive me
for this tiny little thing...
