00:00Just in the hole
00:02You're not high
00:04In my head
00:06Traveling man
00:10Traveling man
00:13I'll get back
00:15You get away
00:16I'm just
00:18A light is fine
00:21Tired I can't
00:23Be there
00:24Okay Miles
00:26Bathroom's all packed up
00:29Hope your new place has a walk-in
00:31Medicine cabinet, cause I've built
00:33Two boxes with antacids along
00:35I've got this under the sink
00:38What's all this stuff?
00:39Oh, my stress
00:41Busters
00:42I've got them all, you know
00:45The primitive executive relaxer
00:47Classic
00:49Nerves be gone
00:51Ooh, here's an old
00:53Favorite, the tranquilator
00:55Extremely rare
00:58And highly toxic
00:59They pulled them off the shelves
01:00After 15 air traffic controllers
01:02From O'Hare were hospitalized
01:03In a single afternoon
01:04How's this one work?
01:08Oh, excellent
01:09Taste, Corky
01:10That's Mr. Mellow
01:11Circa 1992
01:12Now, with this model
01:13You have to be careful
01:14Because
01:15It's easy to break
01:18That doesn't seem very relaxing
01:22Hey Miles
01:24I've been going through your closets
01:26Are you really gonna drag all this junk
01:27To a new apartment?
01:28It's not all junk
01:29Oh, please
01:30Dusty old pottery
01:31This dingy bed cover
01:33A clock that hasn't been used in years
01:35You don't need any of this
01:36Yeah, I guess you're right
01:37Oh, thanks
01:38This stuff's gonna be great
01:39In my extra bedroom
01:40Hey Peter, look
01:42Free pottery
01:43Listen Miles
01:46I'm sorry
01:47I can't lift anything heavy today
01:48The stand back of mine
01:50Don't apologize
01:51I just appreciate you guys
01:53Helping me out
01:54Still can't believe
01:55Those jerks I hired
01:56Never showed up
01:57Yeah, well I don't think
01:58You should expect too much
01:59From a moving company
02:00That misspells the word
02:01Moving on its business card
02:02Hey Peter, don't strain yourself
02:05For anything
02:06Hey Silverbar
02:07Where the hell did you get off
02:08Taking home all the mugs
02:10The network sent us?
02:11You live alone
02:12By leaving you
02:13One
02:13She's right
02:17I only need one
02:19God, how did I let this happen?
02:23I left Murphy alone
02:24In a room for five minutes
02:25That's how it happened
02:26She came to visit me last month
02:28I swear I had a full set
02:29Of silverware
02:30No
02:31No, how did I end up this way?
02:34I'm 32 years old
02:36I figured I'd need
02:37A whole lot of mugs by now
02:39Coffee mug for my wife
02:41Couple of those
02:42Little sippy straw mugs
02:43For my kids
02:44And a great big mug for me
02:46That says
02:47World's greatest dad
02:48At this point
02:49I'm gonna be
02:50Dragging my single
02:52Sorry little mug
02:53From one lonely apartment
02:54To another
02:54For the rest of my life
02:55I know exactly
02:58How you feel, Miles
02:59I didn't expect
03:01To end up this way either
03:02I can't tell you
03:03How sick I am
03:04Of being alone so much
03:06You know what I hate?
03:07Going to a restaurant
03:08And having to ask
03:10For a table for one
03:11Yes
03:12And then the waiter
03:13Comes over and asks
03:14If anyone else
03:14Is using the other chair
03:15And when you say no
03:16They hoist it up in the air
03:18And carry it across the room
03:19Like some sort of trophy
03:21I know
03:22The way everybody looks at you
03:23They might as well
03:23Just stick a big
03:24Flashing loser sign
03:25Over your phone
03:26I'll take this one
03:29Dear Lord
03:32How many times
03:33Do I have to tell you
03:34There is a right way
03:35To pick up a box
03:36And there is a wrong way
03:37That is the wrong way
03:39This, my friend
03:40Is the right way
03:41Oh
03:41There is a right way
03:43To pick up a box
03:43There is the wrong way
03:44I'll just give it a rest
03:45Now
03:46Hey, Peter
03:49How's that back
03:49Holding up?
03:51It's feeling pretty sore
03:52Oh, yeah
03:53Yeah, I'll bet
03:54Hey, what's that?
03:58A buck, Frank?
04:07Even if I was faking it
04:09Do you think I would
04:09Dive for a buck?
04:12Hey, look
04:13A buck
04:14So
04:18What's the answer, Corky?
04:20How are we supposed
04:21To meet people?
04:22Nobody works
04:23The same hours we do
04:24No one really understands
04:25What we do for a living
04:26I'm always being set up
04:27With these flaky guys
04:29I'm so sick of flaky guys
04:31I want to meet someone
04:31Who has his feet on the ground
04:33I'd love to meet someone
04:34Who's sweet and sympathetic
04:35For a change
04:36Yeah
04:37And sensitive
04:38You know
04:40Someone who understands
04:41You can't just jump
04:42Into a relationship
04:43You've got to take it slow
04:44Yeah
04:45Start out as friends
04:46And then let things
04:47Take their course
04:48Yeah
04:49Good luck finding that
04:50Yeah
04:52Good luck
04:54Oh God
04:59Dear Lord
05:00Look what you've done
05:01Me?
05:02Hey
05:02None of that smash stuff
05:04Better be mine
05:05Morning Murphy
05:14What you doing?
05:17Putting all my phone numbers
05:18In this pocket organizer
05:19Can you think of any scenario
05:21Where I'd need to call
05:22Bowser from Shanana?
05:26Nah
05:26So that was fine
05:29Helping Miles yesterday
05:30Wasn't it?
05:31Uh huh
05:31Trying to get everything
05:33To fit into your car?
05:35Uh huh
05:35Think Dukakis
05:38Will make a comeback?
05:41Yeah
05:42Right
05:42So things are going pretty well
05:46With you and Peter
05:47Right?
05:48Yep
05:48We're regular Michael
05:49And Lisa Marie
05:50That's just great
05:55Because technically
05:56It is an office romance
05:58Number one on Cosmo's list
06:00Of 101 dating no-nos
06:01Richard Nixon
06:04You never know
06:07And to think
06:12The man in your life
06:14Was right under your nose
06:16And you didn't know it
06:18You think the next man
06:20In my life
06:21Could be right under my nose
06:22And I might not even know it
06:24Murphy
06:24Under your nose?
06:26I don't know
06:26Corky
06:27Maybe
06:27Do you really think so
06:29Murphy?
06:30Do you?
06:31Yes Corky
06:31I do
06:32With every fiber
06:33Of my being
06:34You know
06:36I do too
06:37Thanks Murphy
06:38Has anyone seen Miles?
06:43No
06:43Though given how stiff
06:45My neck is this morning
06:46He could be standing
06:46Right next to me
06:47And I wouldn't know it
06:48Oh
06:48I suppose that's my fault
06:50Look
06:50Nobody forced you
06:51To ride over to Miles' new apartment
06:52On the back of the truck
06:54True
06:54But then no one forced you
06:55To slam on your brakes
06:56So you could ogle
06:57That young co-ed
06:58In the Mazda Miata
06:59Hey
06:59Don't you point your finger
07:02At me Tim
07:03I don't need your finger
07:04At this
07:04Good morning people
07:08I am pleased to announce
07:10That with the exception
07:11Of the half dozen wall sconces
07:13That Murphy removed
07:14From my old apartment
07:15Which is now coming out
07:16Of my security deposit
07:17The move went off
07:17Without a hitch
07:18Thank you all
07:19Oh
07:20And Corky
07:20I owe you the biggest thanks
07:22Setting up my saltwater aquarium
07:24Was one thing
07:25Snitting my drains
07:26I really owe you
07:26For all
07:27But you know what
07:30You can take me out
07:31To dinner sometime
07:32Okay
07:33Let's do that
07:34Great
07:35What night's good for you
07:36Oh well
07:38Let's see
07:39Tuesday night
07:40I have editing
07:41Thursday night
07:42I have a focus group
07:43Saturday
07:44Saturday
07:46Yeah
07:47That'll work
07:48We can go to that
07:49DeSantos
07:49Murphy's always talking about
07:50Oh that sounds nice
07:52Here it's really cozy
07:53Great
07:53So it's a date
07:54You bet
08:06Well
08:09I figured
08:10Who else could have
08:11Thought the parrot
08:11To say that
08:12So I had to
08:13Break up with him
08:14Awful
08:16Guess I'd have to say
08:18My worst date
08:20Was with this guy
08:21Kent
08:21His idea of a fun night
08:23Was driving around
08:25From building fire
08:26To building fire
08:27It's true
08:30And somehow
08:31We always managed
08:32To get there
08:33Five or ten minutes
08:34Before the fire department
08:35When I asked Kent
08:38How he did it
08:38He'd just giggle
08:39White a cigarette
08:40And watch the match
08:41Burn down to his fingers
08:42This is fun
08:45Thank you
08:45Yeah
08:46Feels really
08:47Touchable
08:48Doesn't it
08:49Great
08:52So now we have to
08:52Go wait in the bar
08:53You know
08:54If you hadn't taken
08:55Ten minutes
08:55To explain to the valet
08:56Exactly how to
08:58Park your car
08:58Oh and if you hadn't
08:59Taken twenty minutes
09:00In front of the mirror
09:01Making sure your hair
09:02Had that perfect
09:03Rumbled look
09:03Murphy
09:06Peter
09:06Over here
09:07What a coincidence
09:09Did you have a reservation
09:10Well we did
09:11Bruschetta
09:14Do you mind
09:15Go ahead
09:17Take
09:18In fact
09:18Why don't you pull over
09:19A couple of chairs
09:19You can eat with us
09:20Oh Miles
09:21I'm sure these two lovebirds
09:24Don't be great
09:24Excuse me
09:28Are you using these chairs
09:29Oh well
09:31Then you won't mind
09:32If we take them
09:33Let's get you some menus
09:39Oh excuse me
09:40Oh Miles
09:42That won't be necessary
09:43I'm sure a table for two
09:44Will open up any minute
09:45Murphy and Peter
09:46Will be able to
09:47Go eat in private
09:48With this mob scene
09:49Don't count on it
09:50You know Murphy
09:52Maybe we should go
09:53Wait in the bar
09:53Let's see
09:55Share stale peanuts
09:57For chain smoking
09:58Euro trash
09:58Or pick free cheese
09:59Ravioli off Miles plate
10:01Hmm
10:02Pass the Parmesan
10:03Yeah
10:05I'm going to the ladies room
10:07Murphy
10:08Would you like to come to
10:09The ladies room
10:10Why
10:10You know this stuff
10:11Isn't cooked enough
10:12I'm sending it back
10:13Waiter
10:13Excuse me Miles
10:16Oh come on
10:24What
10:26No
10:31You're the guy
10:34You're the guy
10:36Under Corby's nose
10:37What
10:39So Miles
10:40You hound
10:41How's the date going
10:42What
10:45The date
10:47You and Corky
10:47How's it going
10:48Corky and me
10:50A date
10:51Oh
10:52Oh no no no no
10:54No no no
10:54This is not a date
10:57Corky and I
10:58Are just having dinner together
10:59Oh
11:00Oh I see
11:00It's not a date
11:01They're just having
11:02Dinner together
11:03What
11:05I'm telling you the truth
11:07This isn't a date
11:08What makes you think
11:09This is a date
11:10Oh okay
11:10Why don't we conduct
11:11A date quiz
11:12What night is tonight
11:13Saturday
11:14Not Saturday
11:15Otherwise known as
11:16Date night
11:17Did Corky buy anything
11:18New to wear on date night
11:19No
11:20Are you sure
11:21Well when I dropped
11:23Some olive spread
11:23On her dress
11:24She did say
11:24Oh no my new dress
11:26But that doesn't mean
11:26Did she feed you
11:27Off a fork
11:28Twice
11:29Compliment you
11:29On your sense of humor
11:30Profusely
11:31Did you see her
11:32Put perfume here
11:33And here
11:35It's a date
11:39It's not a date
11:42Unless both parties
11:43Agree it's a date
11:44And I never agreed
11:45It's a date
11:45Miles relax
11:46You got nothing
11:47To worry about
11:47I don't
11:48No you just have
11:49To decide now
11:49Whether you want
11:50The kids baptized
11:51Or bar mitzvahed
11:52I'm trying to name them
11:54Personally I think
11:56Daisy Mae Silverberg
11:57Has a nice
11:58Right
11:58Stop it
11:59This is not funny
12:00Yes it is
12:02No it isn't
12:04This is serious
12:05I am Corky's boss
12:06I can't get into
12:07A relationship with her
12:08Not to mention the fact
12:10That I'm just not
12:11Interested in her
12:11She's like a
12:12Like a sister
12:14I mean she's
12:15Fun and
12:16You know
12:17Easy to be with
12:17But no
12:18This can't be a date
12:19Hey
12:20Great news you guys
12:21Table for two
12:22Just open up
12:23Why don't you tell them
12:24To their table
12:25No
12:25Sid
12:26Stay
12:27Relax
12:28Sparkling water
12:30That's incredibly sweet
12:34And I'm sure
12:35Murphy and Peter
12:35Appreciate the gesture
12:36But couples
12:37Do need their time alone
12:39Oh yes they do
12:40I run along you two
12:43Thanks a lot guys
12:44We'll do this again
12:45Real soon
12:45Yeah
12:46Maybe the next time
12:47We can do it
12:47Is a double date
12:48Kind of thing
12:49You know
12:52If you don't like
12:52Your table
12:53You can always
12:53Come back
12:54You have a best
12:57Sense of humor
12:58You have to try
13:00Something
13:00And that's what
13:07Scares me
13:08About an office
13:09Romance
13:10Am I making
13:11Any sense
13:12Yes
13:16Yes
13:17You are
13:18My old
13:18And do I
13:20Appreciate your
13:20Honesty
13:21I don't know
13:21What I was thinking
13:22This probably
13:23Wasn't a good idea
13:24I am so glad
13:26To hear you
13:26Say that
13:27Because it would
13:27Have been
13:28Uncomfortable
13:29For so many
13:30Different reasons
13:31Imagine the
13:32Awkward story
13:33Meetings
13:34Me having to
13:35Shoot down
13:36One of your
13:36Story ideas
13:37You got a word
13:39Yes
13:40I know
13:41You're right
13:41You're right
13:42Well I had a
13:45Great dinner
13:46My dinner
13:47Was late too
13:48At least
13:49That's what Murphy
13:50Said
13:50Good night
13:56Good night
14:26Have a great time
14:31The other night
14:31Me too
14:34Oh thanks for
14:38Waiting until I got
14:39Inside my building
14:40It's really
14:46It's awesome
14:47Sure
14:49Well I'd better
14:51Here I am
14:53Sure maybe
14:53Yeah
14:55Yeah
14:56Oh
15:03Hi Miles
15:04So how'd it work out
15:06Saturday night
15:07Did everything work out
15:07Okay
15:08Oh yeah
15:08Cause you won't believe
15:09What ended up
15:10There's a British lady
15:11On the phone
15:12I think it's
15:12Princess Di
15:13And you said
15:15She'd never buy
15:16My cockney accent
15:17When I left that
15:18Message about
15:18Changing the time
15:19Of her riding lesson
15:20Well
15:23Who's the bleeding
15:24Phone now
15:25I really need
15:30Your advice
15:31About that
15:31Thing we were
15:32Talking about
15:33The other day
15:33How much thing
15:34You know
15:34The thing
15:35Oh
15:36Oh right
15:37The thing
15:37Miles told me
15:38What happened
15:39He did
15:40Yeah
15:40And take it from me
15:41These things are
15:42Always awkward
15:43Awkward
15:44I could barely
15:47Even look at them
15:48I mean
15:49Who could have
15:49Seen this coming
15:50I say
15:51If Miles isn't
15:52Interested in you
15:53It's better
15:53To find out
15:54Now
15:54Miles told you
15:57He wasn't
15:57Interested in me
15:58Yeah
15:58Hello
15:59This is Murphy Brown
16:00Yes
16:01I'll hold
16:02Great
16:03Just the way
16:04I want to spend
16:05My morning
16:06Listening to the
16:06London Symphony
16:07Orchestra play

21:04I suppose you went out
21:05With them too
21:05Didn't you?
21:09Murphy
21:09Sorry

21:16As your sweaty little
21:17Sex toy
21:18I'm out of here
21:19Okay
21:25You've got three minutes
21:27Okay
21:27I don't know
21:28How it happened
21:29But this whole thing
21:30Has gotten totally
21:31Twisted around
21:32Oh
21:33I see
21:34So Murphy got it wrong
21:35You didn't say
21:36You weren't interested
21:36In having a relationship
21:37With me
21:38Okay
21:41I did say that
21:42But
21:42Get everybody back in
21:45I did say I wasn't interested
21:51In having a relationship
21:53But
21:53I thought we were going out
21:54As friends
21:55When I found out
21:56It was a date
21:56I guess I got sort of confused
21:58Funny
21:59Your lips didn't seem confused
22:01Well the truth is
22:03They weren't
22:03It's like I told Murphy
22:05Something just started
22:06Feeling right between us
22:08Something just clicked
22:09You didn't say that to Murphy
22:12Yes
22:12Yes I did
22:13When
22:14Yesterday
22:15In her office
22:16You can ask her
22:17Murphy you can come back in
22:21I didn't say you Frank
22:27Oh come on
22:28Let me stay
22:28I'm real good at negotiating
22:30I have freed hostages
22:31You know
22:32Push him out Murphy
22:34Come on
22:35Sorry Frank
22:39Okay Murphy
22:41Yesterday in your office
22:43Did Miles tell you
22:44Something felt right
22:45Between the two of us
22:47That something clicked
22:48Uh huh
22:50Okay
22:53Out
22:54I'm not going back
22:56Out there
22:56I tell you what
22:57I'll just lie down here
22:59And back
22:59You'll never know
23:00I'm here
23:01Oh
23:02All right
23:03You see
23:08I meant what I said
23:10I had a really good time
23:12With you
23:12Kiss or no kiss
23:14Really
23:17Really
23:20So did I
23:25A really good time
23:27So now what
23:32Well
23:33We have a choice
23:35We can
23:37Stick with the safe route
23:38Stick with the status quo
23:40Just stay friends
23:41Or we could take a chance
23:44Roll the dice
23:46And see where it takes us
23:48This is tough
23:51I mean
23:52Staying friends
23:54Would be great
23:54But
23:56Dating would be
23:58Pretty interesting too
23:59Office romances
24:01Can work
24:02I mean
24:02You don't have to end up
24:04Angry and miserable
