00:00Oh, now, what you want, get what you want.
00:03And I'm never a loser.
00:07And I'm never a quitter, yeah.
00:10What you want, get what you want, now.
00:13What you want, get what you want.
00:15I'm about to change.
00:16There you are, Ms. McGovern.
00:18I have messages for you.
00:20Also, I've straightened your desk,
00:23pulled some research for your motor voter piece,
00:25and toasted your bagel.
00:27Extra crispy, with a doughy center removed
00:29just the way you like it.
00:32Thanks, Merle. Isn't you the best?
00:34You know, personnel really has a knack
00:36for matching people up with the right assistants.
00:53Could you file this, please?
00:56Oh, I will file this.
00:59Because no one, no one,
01:02can file this folder better than me.
01:04The Titan of Typing.
01:06The Master of Manila.
01:09Ah, yeah, the Emperor of Envelopes,
01:11the Wizard of White House.
01:12Look at this.
01:19I have interviews set up non-stop.
01:22Three today, two tomorrow.
01:24What a drag.
01:25Yeah, well, that is sort of what we do here at FYI,
01:28I'm covering interviews.
01:30What do you got?
01:31No, see, I'm not interviewing these people.
01:33They're interviewing me.
01:35The Washington Post,
01:36The New Republic.
01:37A second interview with Vanity Fair.
01:40God, how much time can a person spend
01:42talking about themselves?
01:44About five minutes now.
01:48Anyway, I'm out of here.
01:50I gotta go to this boring luncheon
01:51and give some award to Aretha Franklin.
01:53Like anybody must lose the road town anymore.
01:56See ya.
02:00Okay, you wouldn't let me shave her head.
02:03You've talked me out of selling her
02:04to that Kuwaiti prince.
02:05But mark my word,
02:06something's gonna happen soon
02:07and it's gonna be messy.
02:11Morning, people.
02:13So, anything new, unusual,
02:16out of the ordinary happening today?
02:18No, I'm gonna kill MacGuffer.
02:21Good, good.
02:21Same here.
02:23It's your average day at the office
02:25for the executive producer
02:26of two primetime news shows.
02:29Woke up, ate breakfast,
02:30checked the ratings,
02:32wrapped with the guys at Rolling Stone.
02:38Rolling Stone.
02:39The magazine.
02:41Arbiter of hip and...
02:42What's happening?
02:43Yeah, I just got off the phone with him.
02:45Does it give you a free
02:47Supertramp poster
02:47with your subscription and all of it?
02:49Anyway, to make a long
02:53and very fascinating story short,
02:55FYI is about to target
02:57a whole new demographic
02:58on the cover of Rolling Stone.
03:01Oh, this is so exciting.
03:04We're gonna be just like
03:05the women of Melrose plays.
03:07Maybe we can do one of those
03:08really cool shots
03:10where we all lie upside down
03:11and they take the photo
03:12from up above.
03:13Oh, Murphy,
03:14that'll be good for your skin.
03:15It makes everything go so flat.
03:19Hmm, maybe I wasn't
03:21a hundred percent clear here.
03:23You see,
03:23when people think of FYI,
03:25they think of it as being made up
03:26of a lot of different parts.
03:28And in this case,
03:29they only want one part.
03:31Which part?
03:33The McGovern part.
03:34Oh, excuse me.
03:35The big key is my upside down idea.
03:36You know,
03:38I have done more than my share
03:39to try and make McGovern
03:40feel included.
03:42I mean,
03:42who showed where the ladies' room is?
03:44Me.
03:45Who taught her how to work the Xerox?
03:46Me.
03:47Who showed her which editing
03:48bay to hide in
03:49when Murphy was in one of her moods?
03:51Me.
03:52Who's getting all the publicity?
03:54Not me.
03:54Well, I've had it.
03:56The Corky Sherwood welcome wagon
03:57is picking up and moving out.
04:00Hey, hey.
04:02Let's not blow this
04:03out of proportion.
04:05It's just Rolling Stone.
04:06I mean,
04:07who reads Rolling Stone anymore?
04:10Square.
04:11It is not just Rolling Stone,
04:14my little vanity fair.
04:15The Washington Post.
04:16Frank,
04:17need I remind you
04:18that just last week
04:19you were prominently featured
04:20in TV Guide?
04:21It was in Cheers and Jeers,
04:24my.
04:26I was a jeer.
04:28Yeah,
04:29and he wasn't even
04:30blasted on his own.
04:31It was a group jeer.
04:32He was lumped in with
04:33Five-ish Finkel
04:34and Fred Flintstone
04:35for having too many
04:36F's in his name.
04:37What kind of
04:37lame jeer is that?
04:39No, no, no.
04:41McGovern is new at FYI.
04:43Surely we shouldn't begrudge
04:45her her moment in the sun.
04:46After all,
04:47when Corky joined the show,
04:48she got more publicity
04:49than the rest of us.
04:50Yeah, and we hated her for it.
04:52Yes, but we pretended
04:53that we liked her
04:54and eventually we didn't.
04:57And look,
04:59I want you all to know
05:00that I am listening to you.
05:02I hear you.
05:03I'm glad you're...
05:04Oh, Miles,
05:05would you quit
05:05the corporate psychobabble
05:07you learned
05:07at that network retreat?
05:08The point is,
05:09McGovern is not
05:10pulling her weight around here.
05:11She spends more time
05:12on publicity shoots
05:13than she does on her work.
05:14She's missed
05:15two-story meetings
05:16and yesterday
05:16she drank out of my mug.
05:19Maybe she didn't know
05:20it was yours.
05:21It's got a big stork on it
05:22and it says,
05:23Mommy!
05:24I have been 39
05:25gut-wrenching,
05:26painful hours of labor
05:27to earn this mug
05:28and until I see her
05:30sweating and cursing
05:31and munching ice chips
05:32with her legs up in the air,
05:33I don't think
05:34I'm talking to my mom
05:35and Mary.
05:36I hear you.
05:37I'm glad you're expressing
05:38you're all right.
05:39I'll take care of you.
05:40But maybe,
05:41just maybe,
05:43you could try
05:43a little harder
05:44too.
05:44Let's face it,
05:45Murphy,
05:45you have been
05:46scheming to get her fired
05:47ever since she got you
05:48kicked out of the White House.
05:49Oh, please,
05:50where would you get
05:51a ridiculous idea
05:52like that?
05:52Oh, I don't know.
05:54Maybe it's the piles
05:55of McGovern hate mail
05:56that all seem to be
05:56coming from your zip code.
05:59And am I crazy
06:00or did McGovern's
06:01letter of resignation
06:02have from the desk
06:03of Murphy Brown
06:03scribbled out on the top?
06:06I'm a celebrity,
06:07Miles.
06:08You'll never get a jury
06:09to convict me.
06:09Look,
06:15in spite of what
06:16you may feel
06:17about McGovern,
06:18she is good
06:18for the show.
06:20For the first time
06:21ever,
06:21we have an 18-34 demographic
06:23and are welcoming
06:23Swatch as a new sponsor.
06:25Now,
06:25if you don't mind,
06:26I've got to go buy
06:27a pair of jeans
06:27for the photo shoot.
06:28Well,
06:28McGovern can't get
06:29her own jeans?
06:30Not for her.
06:31For me.
06:31Richard Belzer
06:32heckled me from the stage
06:33when I wore Dockers
06:34to the MTV Awards.
06:36Not gonna happen again.
06:39For every parent
06:40who's...
06:40And we're clear!
06:44Okay, people,
06:45we're gonna ask you
06:46to clear the set quickly.
06:48We've got a Rolling Stone
06:49photo crew here
06:50to do a cover shot
06:51of McGovern.
06:52Why are they doing that here?
06:53They want to capture
06:54McGovern in her typical
06:55environment,
06:56doing what she does best.
06:57Well,
06:57then why don't they
06:58just get a shot
06:58of her sucking down
06:59a diet coke
07:00and tooting her
07:00on a horn?
07:03I am under
07:03a lot of pressure
07:04here, okay?
07:05This is a big coup
07:06for FYI.
07:07I have a photo crew
07:08here awaiting
07:09my instructions.
07:10McGovern needs me
07:11to guide her
07:11through this
07:12and I accidentally
07:13got the slip cut
07:14instead of the relaxed feet,
07:15so I don't want
07:15any grief from you
07:16pretty soon.
07:16Don't worry,
07:17that boy,
07:18we're out of here.
07:18Good to go.
07:20Corky?
07:21Corky?
07:21I'm sure you don't
07:22want to stick around?
07:23Maybe we could
07:24hang out a little.
07:25Sorry, Miles.
07:26I told Miller
07:27I'd meet him
07:27after the show.
07:28Besides,
07:30I have better
07:30things to do
07:31than sit around
07:31and watch McGovern
07:32do some stupid
07:33photo shoot,
07:34which, by the way,
07:34is headed for disaster
07:35because that lip gloss
07:36she's wearing
07:37is way too shiny.
07:40Hey, everything
07:41is under control.
07:43McGovern,
07:44you're not nervous,
07:45are you?
07:45Because there's
07:45no reason
07:46to be nervous,
07:47no reason at all.
07:48Miles,
07:48I interviewed
07:48Tupac Shakur
07:49alone in his hotel room.
07:50Why would this
07:51make me nervous?
07:53Are you wearing this?
07:54I'm not sure
07:54you should be wearing this.
07:55Is she wearing this?
07:56Miles,
07:57I need you up
07:57at the next wave.
07:58Apparently exclusive footage
07:59of Chechnya
08:00got taped over
08:00with Pablo's murder
08:01from The Bold
08:02and the Beautiful.
08:03Damn!
08:04That's the second time
08:05this week.
08:05I gotta get up there.
08:06You need me here.
08:07Miles, please,
08:08this is not a big deal.
08:09I've done a million of these.
08:09It's a piece of cake.
08:10Okay,
08:11I'll be back at a flash.
08:12The lip gloss I could live with,
08:13but I'd still lose the shirt.
08:14Remember to smile.
08:15John,
08:16can you come with me
08:16to the bathroom?
08:17Why?
08:17I need someone
08:18to help me off
08:18these jeans.
08:24Anybody see McGovern?
08:25I just happen
08:26to have an advanced copy
08:27of her Rolling Stone
08:28hot off the presses.
08:30Did somebody nudge me
08:31when that sentence
08:31hits a piece of information
08:33that might interest me?
08:35I wanted to wait
08:35until she was here
08:36before I opened it,
08:36but maybe I'll just go ahead.
08:39No, I'll wait.
08:40What?
08:40I don't know
08:40when she's coming back.
08:42Maybe I'll just go ahead.
08:42No, I'm crying out loud.
08:45There.
08:49Oh, my God.
08:51Why, she's...
08:52She's...
08:53She's naked.
08:57That's right.
08:58Lip gloss is way too shiny.
09:02Where's her top?
09:03She had a top.
09:05Now there's no top.
09:06Only skin.
09:08Watson, lots of skin.
09:10Thank God the barcode's
09:12in the right place
09:12and they'd be displaying
09:13this in a plastic wrapper
09:14next to Big and Bouncing.
09:17I told her to lose the shirt,
09:19but I didn't think
09:19she'd actually lose the shirt.
09:22Dear Lord,
09:23is that my chair
09:24she's straddling?
09:25You see that?
09:26She's straddling my chair.
09:28I have to sit in that chair.
09:32What's that cover?
09:33My cover.
09:35This is a college.
09:37We worked hard
09:37to build the reputation
09:38of FYI
09:39and this crazed
09:40teeny bopper
09:41stops in
09:42of those
09:42steel-toed boots of hers
09:43and drapes them
09:44over my chair.
09:45I have to sit
09:46in that chair.
09:49Why would McGovern
09:50do something like this?
09:51Doesn't she know
09:52this is exactly
09:53the kind of thing
09:53that'll get you
09:54in trouble
09:54with the network?
10:00Wow.
10:01And today
10:02isn't even
10:03my birthday.
10:03You know,
10:06when you've been
10:06to Miss America,
10:07this kind of thing
10:07happens all the time.
10:09Take Miss Kansas,
10:10for example.
10:11Photographer talked her
10:12into dropping her sash
10:13down just a little bit more.
10:15Now she dances in a booth
10:16and takes home
10:17her paycheck
10:17and quarters.
10:20Hey,
10:21did you see the magazine?
10:22Pretty cool, huh?
10:23And there's no touching
10:24up there?
10:25That is really me.
10:26Oh, God.
10:27That's just what
10:27Miss Kansas said.
10:29Hey,
10:30did you see the one
10:30inside of me
10:31licking the teleprompter?
10:32What page?
10:37I just hope
10:38you realize
10:39what you've done.
10:41This is big.
10:42Really big.
10:44Not this.
10:45Because I've barely
10:46even glanced at it.
10:48I, like,
10:48saw your face
10:49and then I, like,
10:49looked away.
10:51Miles,
10:51breathe.
10:53I covered up
10:53all the important parts.
10:55This is not
10:55a big deal.
10:56Not a big deal.
10:58Not a...
10:59You're nude.
11:05So I'm nude.
11:07So what?
11:08We're all nude
11:08under our clothes.
11:10I'm not.
11:18Well,
11:19I'm just gonna
11:19call the people
11:20at Rolling Stone
11:21and see if there's
11:21anything I can do.
11:22Maybe they can
11:23stop the presses
11:24or airbrush
11:25of parka
11:26on you.
11:27Forget me.
11:29Did you learn
11:29nothing from
11:30the Diane Sawyer
11:31scandal?
11:32And all she did
11:33was bite some pearls
11:34on the cover
11:34of Vanity Fair.
11:35She didn't come
11:36close to doing
11:36that on my chair.
11:38I have to sit
11:41in the chair.
11:43Look,
11:44just because
11:45we're news people,
11:46why do we have
11:46to be these
11:47perfect plastic
11:48talking heads
11:49with no sexual
11:50identity?
11:51This is just
11:52my way of saying
11:52that journalists
11:53are made of
11:54flesh and blood.
11:55Certainly flesh.
11:58McGovern
11:58made the choice
11:59to pose the way
11:59she wanted to
12:00for the photograph.
12:01As far as I'm
12:02concerned,
12:02if that's the
12:03journalistic image
12:03she wants to project,
12:04it's her right
12:05to do so
12:05and let the chips
12:06fall where they may.
12:08Wow.
12:09How open and
12:09supportive of you,
12:10WhatsApp.
12:11Hey,
12:12I am nothing
12:13if not fair.
12:14In fact,
12:15if you want,
12:15I'll even go up
12:16and put in a good
12:17word with the network.
12:18Ah,
12:19you're okay.
12:21Thanks.
12:22Well,
12:23I gotta go see
12:23if I can get a coffee
12:24and send it
12:24to my grandma.
12:27Slugger,
12:28you're positive
12:29ashamed.
12:30What?
12:31I said I'd put in
12:32a good word
12:33with the network.
12:34I didn't say
12:35good for whom.
12:35Now,
12:40I have removed
12:40all the shows
12:42that don't appeal
12:43to a young audience
12:44and the ones
12:46that star
12:48dried out
12:49has-beens
12:49from the 70s
12:51and the ones
12:53that prove
12:54you,
12:55in fact,
12:56can go broke
12:57underestimating
12:58the intelligence
12:59of the American
13:00public.
13:02Well,
13:03look at our
13:03schedule.
13:04Count the red
13:05ones too.
13:06We got two shows
13:07that are crooked.
13:08Stan?
13:09Murphy,
13:10come on in.
13:12I was just
13:12consulting with
13:14my Ivy League
13:15educated advisors
13:17on the golden dawn
13:19of the network's
13:20new
13:20two-show era.
13:22glad to see you,
13:25Murphy.
13:25You're my top
13:26priority.
13:27Sit,
13:28sit,
13:28sit.
13:29Thanks, Dan.
13:30Hold it,
13:30hold it.
13:31Harvey,
13:31what did you do?
13:32Audit the class
13:33and manners?
13:34Get the lady
13:35a chair.
13:36Yes, sir.
13:37Right away,
13:38sir.
13:40Okay,
13:42that's all
13:43taken care of,
13:44sir.
13:46Don't suck up
13:47to me.
13:47I hate
13:48sucking up.
13:49Okay.
13:50Okay,
13:51sir.
13:52You stand
13:53too close
13:54to me.
13:54Harvey,
13:55yeah,
13:55why don't you
13:56take your friends
13:56and go over there
13:57and sit on the couch,
13:58blend in,
13:59and don't distract me.
14:02All right,
14:03Murphy,
14:03you got my
14:04undivided attention.
14:06Uh,
14:06well,
14:07Stan,
14:07you know I'm not
14:08one to be a squeaky wheel,
14:09but we have
14:11a huge problem,
14:12FYI.
14:13Is Fontana
14:14abusing
14:15the email system again?
14:16I told him
14:17it's not a dating service.
14:19Well,
14:20actually,
14:20yes,
14:21but that's not
14:21why I'm here.
14:23It's about
14:23McGovern.
14:25Have you seen this?
14:29Oh,
14:30my God.
14:32That set
14:33still has a window.
14:34I don't know.
14:38Stan,
14:39did you happen
14:40to notice anything
14:41in front of the window?
14:42Anything
14:43naked?
14:45Ah,
14:46oh,
14:46a little
14:47McGovern.
14:50Attention,
14:51halls of Ivy.
14:52Look at this
14:53and decide
14:55how you think
14:56I'm going
14:57to respond.
14:59Now,
15:00Stan,
15:01I know
15:01how difficult
15:02it is
15:02for someone
15:03with McGovern's
15:04unconventional
15:04background
15:05to adjust
15:06to a show
15:07like FYI.
15:08I said,
15:08look,
15:09you're ogling.
15:10This looks ogling.
15:11What,
15:12do you think
15:12you're in your
15:13dorm room
15:13someplace?
15:15They're like
15:15children.
15:17Go on.
15:19Um,
15:19but given the fact
15:21that she has
15:21tarnished
15:22the anchor desk,
15:23coupled with
15:23her inability
15:24to fit in,
15:25plus a particularly
15:26disturbing occurrence
15:28involving my
15:28mommy mug.
15:30I just don't know
15:32what to do.
15:32I mean,
15:33I am
15:34stumped.
15:35You want me
15:36to let her go?
15:37That's good for me.
15:40I think letting her go
15:41is an excellent idea,
15:43sir.
15:44What do you know?
15:45You're just my
15:45idiot son-in-law.
15:47Uh,
15:48no,
15:49I'm not,
15:50sir.
15:51One of you is.
15:52I know who you are.
15:55You're Penn.
15:56Penn is the one
15:57who told me
15:58to pass on
15:59home improvement.
16:01No wonder
16:02they wouldn't let you
16:02into Harvard or Yale.
16:05A tide of young people.
16:07That's it.
16:08Lady Kediva
16:09is history.
16:11Well,
16:12Stan,
16:12if you think
16:13that's best,
16:15I really wish
16:16there were some
16:17other way
16:17to resolve
16:18this situation.
16:20Maybe
16:21if we just
16:22think hard,
16:23we can find it.
16:29Well,
16:30okay,
16:31Stan,
16:31see you.
16:33Oh,
16:34this is great.
16:35I'll, uh,
16:35I'll release a statement
16:36saying we've
16:37the network
16:37disapproved
16:38of McGovern's
16:38amoral behavior.
16:39And I'll call
16:40the sponsors
16:40who've been
16:41threatening to pull out
16:42and tell them
16:42they win.
16:43Sponsors?
16:45Yeah,
16:45I'm getting
16:46a lot of flack
16:47lately,
16:48you know,
16:48about television's
16:49lack of morality.
16:52NYPD Blue
16:53shows one
16:54naked tushie
16:54and we all
16:55saw it.
16:57Well,
16:57I'm not used
16:58to caving
16:58into these people,
16:59but with your
17:00blessing,
17:01I can say,
17:02I'm appalled
17:03at this
17:03naked journalist.
17:04What the hell?
17:05We throw him
17:05a bone.
17:08He's just wondering.
17:09Well,
17:09bye.
17:11Now,
17:11which one of you
17:12button-down
17:13brains
17:13came up
17:14with a show
17:14called
17:15Melrose
17:16Nursing Home?
17:17I said young
17:19people,
17:19I don't want
17:20people that walk
17:21is running
17:21around.
17:22I just wanted
17:23to clear
17:24something up.
17:25You're firing
17:26McGovern because
17:27of the reasons
17:27I gave,
17:28the tarnished
17:29anchor desk
17:30not fitting in
17:31mommy mug
17:32reasons,
17:32right?
17:33Sure,
17:34she tarnished
17:34your mug,
17:35she's out,
17:36whatever.
17:37Okay,
17:38I'll just
17:38take it.
17:39Bye.
17:39And then
17:42which one
17:42pitched me
17:43a show
17:43called
17:44The World's
17:44Oldest Freshman
17:46starring Jack
17:46Albertson?
17:48He's dead.
17:49You can't
17:49have a series
17:50starring a dead
17:51man because
17:52you can't get
17:53stories.
17:54The dead man
17:55goes on
17:55jewelry duty.
17:56The dead man
17:56goes to the
17:57back follow-up.
17:58The dead man
17:58goes on a
17:59camping trip.
18:00The dead man
18:00has to survive
18:01first thing.
18:02It don't work.
18:06Because
18:06it wouldn't
18:07be right
18:08to fire someone
18:09because of
18:10pressure from
18:10special interest
18:11groups who
18:12were just
18:12trying to
18:13impose their
18:13own views
18:14upon others.
18:15Is there
18:15a fire
18:16out there?
18:16Why the
18:17hell can't
18:17she get
18:18out?
18:21What?
18:23Because,
18:24Stan,
18:24what McGovern
18:25did was not
18:26immoral per se.
18:28It just
18:29wasn't sound
18:29journalistic
18:30judgment.
18:31Let me
18:32give you a
18:32tip,
18:33Murphy.
18:33You see,
18:33when you
18:34ask a favor
18:34and you
18:35get it,
18:36the negotiations
18:36stop.
18:38You get in,
18:39you get what
18:40you want,
18:40you get out.
18:41Why are you
18:42still in?
18:44Um,
18:46Stan,
18:46as much as it
18:47pains me to
18:47say this,
18:48really,
18:49really,
18:50really pains
18:51me,
18:52I don't think
18:54McGovern should
18:55be fired.
18:57You're an
18:58enigma.
18:59You're a paradox,
19:01Murphy.
19:01You're confusing
19:02me.
19:03Look,
19:04she may have
19:05shown poor
19:06judgment,
19:07but last
19:08time I
19:08checked,
19:09she still
19:09had the
19:09right to
19:10do what
19:10she did.
19:11I mean,
19:12I myself
19:13have done
19:13things which
19:14have upset
19:14people,
19:15things you
19:16probably don't
19:17remember.
19:17Your drunken
19:18exhibition at
19:19the 1980
19:20Republican
19:21Convention?
19:22Sure.
19:23That was
19:24one.
19:24Your slap
19:25fight in the
19:26Rose Garden
19:26with Barbara
19:27Bush?
19:28Okay,
19:32there's
19:32another.
19:32Getting
19:33pregnant
19:33was not
19:34one of
19:34This is
19:35not about
19:35me.
19:36This is
19:36about
19:37McGovern.
19:38I guess
19:39it wouldn't
19:39be fair
19:40to fire
19:41her without
19:41giving her
19:42a second
19:42chance.
19:45Fine.
19:47McGovern
19:47stays.
19:48Happy?
19:50Delighted.
19:52I can't
19:53wait to
19:53go down
19:53and give
19:54her the
19:54good news.
19:56Goodbye,
19:56Murphy.
19:57Nobody
19:57get in
19:58her way.
20:01All right,
20:01unfortunately,
20:02gentlemen,
20:03now she's
20:03got me in
20:04the mood
20:04to fire
20:04somebody
20:05and I
20:05can't
20:05fire my
20:06own
20:06son-in-law.
20:07Now,
20:07which one
20:08of you
20:08is my
20:09son-in-law?
20:14Well,
20:14look who's
20:15back.
20:16Lansing's
20:16secretary
20:17talked to
20:17my secretary
20:18and I
20:18want you
20:19to know
20:19I think
20:19what you
20:19did was
20:20really
20:20rotten.
20:21You
20:21know,
20:21I wish
20:22you had
20:22sold me
20:22to that
20:23Kuwaiti
20:23prince.
20:23I would
20:24have had
20:24a much
20:25better time
20:25being chased
20:26around a
20:26tent,
20:26rather than
20:27waiting around
20:27here for
20:28the axe
20:28to fall.
20:30Look,
20:30I know
20:31how hard
20:31this must
20:32be for you,
20:32McGovern,
20:33but keep
20:33your shirt
20:34on.
20:34You've
20:35still got
20:35your job.
20:37Then you
20:38didn't go
20:38in there
20:38to get
20:38me fired?
20:39Oh,
20:40no,
20:40I did.
20:41But when
20:42push came
20:42to shove,
20:43I had to
20:43do something
20:43I almost
20:44never do,
20:45put aside
20:46my own
20:46personal
20:47desires and
20:48support your
20:48right to
20:49do what
20:49you did.
20:49fortunately I
20:51made myself
20:51get out
20:51of there
20:52before I
20:52got you
20:53a raise
20:53in a
20:53better
20:53parking
20:54space.
20:55Oh,
20:56yeah,
20:56now I'm
20:57supposed to
20:57thank you,
20:57huh?
20:58This is so
20:59lame.
21:00Everyone is
21:01freaking out
21:01and all I
21:02did was
21:02show a
21:02little skin.
21:04A little
21:04skin?
21:05You were
21:06naked on
21:07Jim's
21:07chair.
21:08He has
21:08to sit
21:09in that
21:09chair.
21:12That's it.
21:12You should
21:13have known
21:13better.
21:14Thanks,
21:14Mom.
21:15It's all
21:16about shock
21:17with you,
21:17isn't it,
21:17McGovern?
21:18Hey,
21:18it gets
21:19people's
21:19attention.
21:20Yeah,
21:21but you
21:21know,
21:21once you
21:22finish
21:22shocking
21:23the
21:23world,
21:23it's
21:23nice to
21:24have a
21:24little
21:24something
21:24to
21:25back
21:25it
21:25up.
21:26I
21:26mean,
21:26look at
21:26Madonna,
21:27all
21:27shock,
21:27and where
21:28has it
21:28gotten her?
21:29She's
21:29like a
21:30zillionaire
21:30and gets
21:30to sleep
21:31with any
21:31basketball
21:31player
21:32she
21:32wants.
21:34Look,
21:35did you
21:36ever think
21:37that maybe
21:37there could
21:38be a
21:38new way
21:39of doing
21:39things?
21:40Did you
21:40ever think
21:41that maybe
21:41you've
21:41gotten
21:42a little
21:42stale?
21:43I don't
21:43know,
21:44maybe if
21:44you were
21:44my age
21:45you would
21:45understand.
21:47I got a
21:47bulletin for
21:48you,
21:48McGovern.
21:49Being in
21:50your 20s
21:51is not a
21:51major
21:51achievement.
21:53Oh,
21:53yeah,
21:53there are
21:54some good
21:54things about
21:55it.
21:55I could
21:56hold my
21:56liquor
21:56and run
21:57up two
21:58flights of
21:58stairs
21:59without
21:59getting
21:59winded,
22:00but on
22:00the other
22:01hand,
22:01I never
22:02had a
22:02decent
22:02orgasm.
22:09Are you
22:10sure you
22:10don't want
22:10to save
22:11this for
22:11your
22:11retrospective
22:12at the
22:12Museum of
22:13Broadcasting?
22:14In my
22:1540s,
22:16I won
22:16seven
22:16Humboldts,
22:17interviewed
22:17every
22:18president,
22:18had a
22:19child,
22:19hence
22:19the
22:20mommy
22:20mug,
22:20and let
22:21me
22:21tell
22:21you,
22:22every
22:23single
22:23time.
22:26So,
22:27everyone
22:27thinks being
22:28younger is
22:28better,
22:29but it
22:29isn't.
22:30Experience
22:30is worth
22:30a little
22:31something
22:31to it.
22:31I've
22:32read your
22:32bio,
22:32Murphy.
22:33I know
22:33how much
22:34you've
22:34done.
22:34I know
22:35how much
22:35you've
22:35all
22:36done.
22:36I get
22:37reminded
22:37of it
22:37every
22:38time I
22:38walk
22:38off
22:38that
22:38elevator
22:39or I
22:39sit in
22:40a story
22:40meeting
22:40or I
22:41walk
22:41onto
22:41the
22:41stage.
22:42The
22:42great
22:43mighty
22:43bastion
22:44of
22:44FYI,
22:45it's
22:45like
22:45this
22:46huge
22:46deal
22:47that's
22:47been
22:47going
22:48on
22:48forever
22:48and
22:49somebody
22:49new
22:49can
22:49only
22:50screw
22:50it
22:50up.
22:52Well,
22:52what do you
22:53know?
22:53You're
22:54scared.
22:55God.
22:55for
22:57somebody
22:57who
22:57is
22:57supposed
22:58to
22:58be
22:58a
22:58genius
22:58at
22:59interviewing
22:59people,
22:59you're
23:00way
23:00off
23:01here.
23:02I
23:02don't
23:03think
23:03so.
23:07Yeah.
23:09Okay.
23:12Maybe I
23:12am a
23:13little.
23:15Maybe
23:15that's
23:16why I
23:16took
23:16off
23:16my
23:17clothes.
23:18Because
23:18if I
23:18create
23:19a stir,
23:19maybe
23:19nobody
23:20will
23:20notice
23:20that
23:20half
23:21the
23:21time
23:21I
23:21don't
23:21know
23:21what
23:22the
23:22hell
23:22I'm
23:22doing.
23:22Or
23:25maybe
23:25the
23:26lights
23:26were
23:26just
23:26hot.
23:30I'm
23:31going to
23:31tell you
23:31a little
23:31secret,
