00:03:39.094 --> 00:03:41.554
Here's what I found out.

00:03:41.722 --> 00:03:44.849
That all of life
is a learning experience.

00:03:45.017 --> 00:03:50.313
Everything is part
of a big master plan.

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:53.691
But sometimes it's...
Well, it's hard to read.

00:03:53.859 --> 00:03:56.402
I mean, it's like if you get too close
to the screen,

00:03:56.570 --> 00:03:58.946
all you can see
is a bunch of little dots.

00:03:59.114 --> 00:04:02.491
You don't see the big picture
until you stand back.

00:04:02.659 --> 00:04:04.493
But when you do,

00:04:04.661 --> 00:04:07.204
everything comes into focus.

00:04:09.708 --> 00:04:13.711
Hi. My name is Suzanne Maretto.

00:04:14.588 --> 00:04:16.255
No, wait. I'm sorry.

00:04:16.423 --> 00:04:19.133
Suzanne Maretto
is my married name.

00:04:19.301 --> 00:04:21.010
My own name

00:04:21.178 --> 00:04:23.304
is Suzanne Stone.

00:04:23.472 --> 00:04:26.015
That's my professional name.

00:04:26.183 --> 00:04:29.352
Suzanne Stone.

00:04:30.896 --> 00:04:34.231
It's not like I have any negative
feelings about the name Maretto.

00:04:35.525 --> 00:04:38.611
Maretto is the name, after all,

00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:40.112
of my husband,

00:04:41.365 --> 00:04:44.533
who I loved very, very much.

00:04:46.536 --> 00:04:48.245
Um... Heh.

00:04:48.413 --> 00:04:49.872
Sorry.

00:04:51.041 --> 00:04:54.543
It's also the name of his parents,
Joe and Angela Maretto,

00:04:54.711 --> 00:04:58.547
and of his lovely and talented
sister, Janice Maretto,

00:04:58.715 --> 00:05:01.676
who have been like
a second family to me

00:05:01.843 --> 00:05:04.220
and who I regard
as I do my own family,

00:05:05.722 --> 00:05:08.849
particularly since
my recent tragedy.

00:05:09.267 --> 00:05:13.646
And who, just through knowing
and being related to them,

00:05:13.814 --> 00:05:16.983
have given me what I think is
a very valuable insight

00:05:17.150 --> 00:05:19.694
into the different kinds
of ethnic relationships

00:05:19.861 --> 00:05:23.656
that are part of the very things
that I've been trying to explore

00:05:23.824 --> 00:05:27.827
as a member
of the professional media.

00:05:35.877 --> 00:05:39.463
First impressions in one word?
You really want to know?

00:05:44.344 --> 00:05:45.386
Wet.

00:05:46.763 --> 00:05:49.181
Four letters, begins with "C."

00:05:49.349 --> 00:05:51.559
Larry, it's a girl.

00:05:53.020 --> 00:05:55.312
You've never seen
one of them, huh?

00:05:56.189 --> 00:05:57.606
Cold.

00:05:57.774 --> 00:06:01.569
Cold. C-O-L-D. Cold.

00:06:01.737 --> 00:06:03.487
Yeah.

00:06:03.655 --> 00:06:05.781
What did you think of Suzanne
when you met her?

00:06:05.949 --> 00:06:08.117
I just didn't get the Suzanne thing.

00:06:08.285 --> 00:06:11.704
I mean, all the girls around town
thought Larry was really cute.

00:06:11.872 --> 00:06:15.958
I mean, they all used to hang out
at the restaurant on the nights

00:06:16.126 --> 00:06:20.463
when my dad would let Larry
and his dopey rock band play there.

00:06:20.630 --> 00:06:22.506
Just, uh, you know?

00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:04.381
Laura Risley, I remember.
She really...

00:07:04.549 --> 00:07:06.509
Peggy Holden.
I mean, she's kind of a slut.

00:07:06.676 --> 00:07:09.845
But, I mean, he could've had anybody,
basically, is what I'm saying.

00:07:10.013 --> 00:07:12.890
But I don't know. Suzanne, blond.

00:07:13.058 --> 00:07:14.517
I don't know.

00:07:23.026 --> 00:07:26.195
Well, yeah, sure,
I could've said some things.

00:07:26.363 --> 00:07:29.824
Well, to tell you the truth,
I did say some things.

00:07:29.991 --> 00:07:31.367
Yeah, it's my brother.

00:07:31.535 --> 00:07:34.578
But in a very subtle way.

00:07:34.746 --> 00:07:38.290
Larry, what do you think
of Angela Raguzzo?

00:07:39.209 --> 00:07:41.210
She's all right.
She's hot.

00:07:41.378 --> 00:07:42.795
Why?

00:07:44.089 --> 00:07:45.548
She wants you to ask her out.

00:07:46.049 --> 00:07:49.468
Look, sis, don't try and fix me up
with people. It's embarrassing.

00:07:49.636 --> 00:07:51.387
All right.

00:07:51.555 --> 00:07:53.764
What do you think of
Dana Defalco?

00:07:53.932 --> 00:07:56.809
You want me to go out with a girl
whose father's in the mob?

00:07:56.977 --> 00:07:58.894
Who says he's in the mob?
Everybody.

00:07:59.062 --> 00:08:01.564
Everybody. So?
Don't you want a little excitement?

00:08:01.731 --> 00:08:05.776
I got all the excitement I can take.
Oh, with who? The ice maiden?

00:08:05.944 --> 00:08:07.820
You don't know
what you're talking about.

00:08:07.988 --> 00:08:09.238
I don't?
No.

00:08:09.406 --> 00:08:11.115
Okay.

00:08:11.283 --> 00:08:13.159
Inform me.

00:08:13.326 --> 00:08:15.119
Well, it's none of
your business.

00:08:15.287 --> 00:08:19.915
But, Suzanne, she looks, you know,
very fragile and delicate, right?

00:08:20.083 --> 00:08:21.792
Mm-hm.

00:08:22.252 --> 00:08:24.670
But when we're...
When we're...

00:08:24.838 --> 00:08:27.173
I mean, when I'm...

00:08:27.340 --> 00:08:30.759
Look, I don't even know why I'm
telling you this. Details are too graphic.

00:08:30.927 --> 00:08:33.637
But let me just tell you,
she's like...

00:08:33.805 --> 00:08:36.265
She's like a volcano.

00:08:36.433 --> 00:08:38.225
You mean,
people come from miles around

00:08:38.393 --> 00:08:40.019
just to watch her explode?
Heh-heh-heh.

00:08:40.187 --> 00:08:41.395
Is that it?
Very funny.

00:08:41.563 --> 00:08:44.273
Like Mount St. Helene?
Very funny. Ha-ha-ha!

00:08:45.108 --> 00:08:46.984
Man, when he says to me...

00:08:47.152 --> 00:08:48.611
I'm gonna marry her.

00:08:49.696 --> 00:08:51.989
Wait a minute. You what?

00:08:52.157 --> 00:08:54.450
"You what?" I said.
And then he says...

00:08:54.618 --> 00:08:57.286
I'm telling you, sis, she's it.

00:08:57.454 --> 00:09:00.789
She's the golden girl of my dreams.
Oh, God.

00:09:03.126 --> 00:09:04.793
And I did one of these:

00:09:05.962 --> 00:09:09.131
Which I regretted right away,
because, you know, he looked at me

00:09:09.299 --> 00:09:12.051
with that kind of doggy look
that guys get.

00:09:13.303 --> 00:09:15.554
I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.

00:09:17.641 --> 00:09:19.516
She can't even bowl.

00:09:19.684 --> 00:09:21.310
Yes. Yes.

00:09:21.478 --> 00:09:24.104
Let me tell you something, all right?
Yeah.

00:09:24.272 --> 00:09:29.026
She's like... She's like, uh,
a delicate china doll.

00:09:29.194 --> 00:09:32.821
Larry, you ever try kissing a doll?
You know, they don't kiss back.

00:09:32.989 --> 00:09:36.659
She's like one of those porcelain
figurines that Mom collects.

00:09:38.161 --> 00:09:41.163
She is so pure and delicate

00:09:41.331 --> 00:09:43.332
and innocent.

00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:46.418
You just have to look at her,
and you wanna take care of her

00:09:46.586 --> 00:09:48.671
for the rest of your life.

00:09:50.173 --> 00:09:52.341
Yeah, I can see that.

00:09:53.426 --> 00:09:54.510
So...

00:09:54.678 --> 00:09:58.514
Anyway, so when she, Suzanne,
says to me...

00:09:58.682 --> 00:10:02.434
If you're actively seeking a career
in the professional ice skating field...

00:10:02.602 --> 00:10:04.436
In the spotlight, so to speak.

00:10:04.604 --> 00:10:07.439
- I think you have to maximize
your positive features.

00:10:07.607 --> 00:10:09.733
Mm. Sure.
So, what I'm saying

00:10:09.901 --> 00:10:11.777
is that a qualified
plastic surgeon

00:10:11.945 --> 00:10:15.364
could just snip away those little
beauty spots or facial blemishes,

00:10:15.532 --> 00:10:19.535
whatever you call them.
You'd see how much better you'd feel.

00:10:21.204 --> 00:10:24.623
You know, commenting about
my face and stuff. I, you know...?

00:10:24.791 --> 00:10:28.419
I knew where she was going,
Miss Fixer-Upper.

00:10:28.586 --> 00:10:30.587
I believe that Mr. Gorbachev...

00:10:30.755 --> 00:10:32.881
You know, the man who
ran Russia for so long?

00:10:33.049 --> 00:10:36.468
I believe he would be in power today
if he'd done what people suggested

00:10:36.636 --> 00:10:39.054
and had that big purple thing
taken off his forehead.

00:10:40.432 --> 00:10:41.724
I firmly believe that.

00:10:41.891 --> 00:10:43.976
I hope to interview him.
We'll discuss that

00:10:44.144 --> 00:10:48.105
along with other more pertinent
international things, you know?

00:10:48.273 --> 00:10:51.358
I'm telling you, sis, she's gonna be
the next Barbara Walters.

00:10:51.526 --> 00:10:52.693
Oh, is that right?

00:10:52.861 --> 00:10:55.612
Well, Barbara does have
many admirable qualities.

00:10:55.780 --> 00:10:57.906
A wide range of knowledge
of current events,

00:10:58.074 --> 00:11:00.075
and a sympathy
for people's feelings,

00:11:00.243 --> 00:11:03.912
which is a trait so many people have
who are of the Jewish persuasion.

00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.832
Isn't she something else?

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.584
So, yeah, that was it.

00:11:08.752 --> 00:11:12.004
I mean, a done deal, finite.

00:11:12.172 --> 00:11:14.173
He was a goner.

00:11:15.425 --> 00:11:17.593
The point is that, for instance,

00:11:17.761 --> 00:11:20.179
Connie Chung,
who is married, I believe,

00:11:20.347 --> 00:11:23.223
to Maury Povich, the well-known
interviewer, doesn't say,

00:11:23.391 --> 00:11:26.560
"Hello, this is Connie Povich
with the news." Now, does she?

00:11:26.728 --> 00:11:29.146
And I don't think she would be
embarrassed by it,

00:11:29.314 --> 00:11:32.483
because she's already pretty ethnic
when you think about it.

00:11:32.650 --> 00:11:34.443
Or to take another example,

00:11:34.611 --> 00:11:37.112
someone who doesn't have
an ethnic bone in her body.

00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:39.615
There's Jane Pauley,

00:11:39.783 --> 00:11:41.158
who I strongly relate to

00:11:41.326 --> 00:11:45.162
because, you know,
we have similar physical traits.

00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:50.417
Although I don't have to struggle with
the weight problem like she does.

00:11:50.585 --> 00:11:52.961
And she also,
to the best of my knowledge,

00:11:53.129 --> 00:11:56.340
has never identified herself,
audience-wise,

00:11:56.508 --> 00:11:58.300
as Jane Trudeau,

00:11:58.468 --> 00:12:01.053
even though her husband,
Mr. Trudeau,

00:12:01.221 --> 00:12:04.139
is a prominent cartoonist
of some kind,

00:12:04.307 --> 00:12:07.643
and not, as so many people believe,
the ex-president of Canada.

00:12:07.811 --> 00:12:10.187
So, what I'm saying is this:

00:12:11.064 --> 00:12:14.858
There are some people
who never know who they are

00:12:15.026 --> 00:12:18.070
or who they wanna be
until it's too late,

00:12:18.238 --> 00:12:21.532
and that is a real tragedy
in my book,

00:12:21.699 --> 00:12:25.577
because I always knew who I was
and who I wanted to be.

00:12:25.745 --> 00:12:26.829
Always.

00:12:26.996 --> 00:12:32.334
- Okay. Who wants to be on TV?
- There she is.

00:12:32.502 --> 00:12:34.503
Oh, look at who's looking at herself.

00:12:34.671 --> 00:12:36.839
- Just look at that.
- Suzanne, look there.

00:12:37.006 --> 00:12:39.591
- Look there. Come here.
- Look at the camera.

00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:41.635
- See?
- Look at what a darling.

00:12:41.803 --> 00:12:43.345
Oh, sweetheart.

00:12:43.513 --> 00:12:46.348
Can't you get it focused
better than that?

00:12:47.684 --> 00:12:52.104
And we're back with the families
of Suzanne and Larry Maretto.

00:12:52.272 --> 00:12:53.689
Mr. Stone.

00:12:53.857 --> 00:12:55.524
Mr. Stone?

00:12:56.443 --> 00:12:58.819
At first, I have to admit we...

00:12:58.987 --> 00:13:02.656
We didn't think too much of it,
the relationship.

00:13:03.158 --> 00:13:07.161
I mean, here was our daughter,
a college graduate.

00:13:07.328 --> 00:13:13.250
Junior college, yes, but with
good grades and a degree in...

00:13:13.418 --> 00:13:15.419
Electronic journalism.

00:13:15.587 --> 00:13:17.045
Exactly.

00:13:18.548 --> 00:13:21.300
And here was this young man,

00:13:21.468 --> 00:13:23.969
a good boy, obviously,

00:13:24.137 --> 00:13:26.763
but, still, a boy
whose education was...

00:13:28.224 --> 00:13:30.017
limited to high school.

00:13:31.311 --> 00:13:33.395
And I remember saying to her,
"Honey..."

00:13:33.563 --> 00:13:36.899
I'm worried that you don't know
what you're getting into with this kid.

00:13:37.066 --> 00:13:40.861
Dad, I'm not a little girl any more.
I know that, sweetheart.

00:13:41.029 --> 00:13:45.115
All I'm saying is that we come
from pretty different backgrounds.

00:13:45.283 --> 00:13:48.785
"For all you know, his family could be
mixed up with the Mafia or something."

00:13:50.246 --> 00:13:52.456
I'm sorry, Joe.
No problem, Earl.

00:13:52.624 --> 00:13:54.750
I was just being...
No, no. No. I understand.

00:13:56.127 --> 00:13:57.920
Oh, I understand. Please.

00:14:00.089 --> 00:14:01.882
Of course, she just laughed at me.

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:06.595
Dad, don't worry.
Well, I have to worry.

00:14:06.763 --> 00:14:08.430
That's what dads do.

00:14:14.604 --> 00:14:18.106
If you ask me, I'd say that Larry
appealed to a side of her

00:14:18.274 --> 00:14:21.026
that you wouldn't ordinarily know
was there.

00:14:21.778 --> 00:14:24.780
It was a kind of a... What? Uh...

00:14:25.198 --> 00:14:27.407
A wild side.

00:14:27.575 --> 00:14:32.371
Well, not wild, but, uh...

00:14:37.377 --> 00:14:39.294
Wild.

00:14:39.462 --> 00:14:41.296
I thought he would marry...
I don't know.

00:14:41.464 --> 00:14:45.133
You know, like,
a nice Italian girl.

00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:48.303
But like the guy
in The Godfather says,

00:14:48.471 --> 00:14:51.348
"This is America, okay?

00:14:51.516 --> 00:14:53.684
The melting pot."

00:14:53.851 --> 00:14:57.813
Anyway, one day, Larry comes over to me.
He says...

00:14:57.981 --> 00:15:01.066
I'm gonna tell you something, Pop.
She's going places.

00:15:01.234 --> 00:15:04.528
She's got goals.
You know, she's studying stuff.

00:15:04.696 --> 00:15:07.781
She's sending out résumés
all the time.

00:15:07.949 --> 00:15:10.784
Did I show you what
she gave me for my birthday?

00:15:11.828 --> 00:15:12.995
"You Can Be The One."

00:15:13.788 --> 00:15:14.830
The one what?

00:15:14.998 --> 00:15:19.459
Well, the one anything. That's the point.
It's self-motivation.

00:15:19.836 --> 00:15:21.837
It's from that guy on TV,
the millionaire

00:15:22.005 --> 00:15:24.506
with all the houses and yachts.

00:15:24.674 --> 00:15:25.716
You know?

00:15:25.883 --> 00:15:31.763
Sounds pretty serious, Larry.
Serious? Pop, I sold my drums.

00:15:32.515 --> 00:15:35.642
You sold your drums?
Yep.

00:15:36.561 --> 00:15:39.688
And he did. He sold his drums

00:15:39.856 --> 00:15:43.483
and he turned himself right around
just for her.

00:15:46.029 --> 00:15:47.571
The veil Suzanne wore,

00:15:47.739 --> 00:15:50.949
she had copied
from a picture in a magazine.

00:15:51.117 --> 00:15:55.203
The exact same one
Maria Shriver wore at her wedding.

00:15:57.915 --> 00:16:00.417
Larry was, uh...
He was so proud, you know,

00:16:00.585 --> 00:16:03.128
because Suzanne,
she designed the wedding rings

00:16:03.296 --> 00:16:05.213
all by herself.

00:16:05.381 --> 00:16:07.549
You want me to describe them
for you?

00:16:07.717 --> 00:16:11.511
They were round and gold.

00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.764
I mean, big fucking deal.

00:16:14.223 --> 00:16:16.558
Come on, Suze, let's go!

00:16:16.726 --> 00:16:19.978
I'll still never find a guy like you,
Dad.

00:16:20.855 --> 00:16:22.314
Suze.

00:16:22.482 --> 00:16:23.815
What?

00:16:31.532 --> 00:16:34.951
We got a postcard from Suzanne

00:16:35.119 --> 00:16:38.080
every single day that
they were on their honeymoon.

00:16:38.247 --> 00:16:42.209
And it very much surprised us
that they went to Florida,

00:16:42.377 --> 00:16:47.255
because Suzanne was never
one to lie around the beach.

00:16:47.423 --> 00:16:50.592
But Larry was very much
into boating and fishing,

00:16:50.760 --> 00:16:53.178
and I think she just wanted
to make him happy.

00:16:53.346 --> 00:16:55.305
That's a pretty little lady
you got there.

00:16:55.473 --> 00:16:56.682
Yes, sir.

00:16:56.849 --> 00:17:00.477
We've been married for four days
and, uh, 18 hours.

00:17:00.937 --> 00:17:03.271
I wouldn't let her
out of my sight for very long.

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:05.649
Well, she can't go in the sun.

00:17:05.817 --> 00:17:08.568
It's not good to tan
when you're on TV.

00:17:08.736 --> 00:17:12.030
TV? What show is she on?
Have I ever seen her?

00:17:12.198 --> 00:17:16.284
Not yet, but you will.

00:17:30.049 --> 00:17:31.341
Hi, honey.

00:17:31.509 --> 00:17:33.009
Suzanne.

00:17:33.177 --> 00:17:35.345
Did you miss me?

00:17:36.097 --> 00:17:37.305
Hm?

00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.435
Did you dream about me, baby?

00:17:43.980 --> 00:17:46.148
Suzanne.

00:17:56.325 --> 00:18:00.454
Ahem. It must've been
a pretty successful honeymoon,

00:18:00.621 --> 00:18:02.581
because when they came back,
they were...

00:18:02.749 --> 00:18:06.209
Radiant.
Exactly. Radiant.

00:18:06.377 --> 00:18:09.504
Larry took money he was saving
in case he wanted to go to college,

00:18:09.672 --> 00:18:12.674
he put a down payment
on that condo over at the Heights.

00:18:12.842 --> 00:18:15.427
And he bought her
that pretty little Mustang.

00:18:15.595 --> 00:18:17.387
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

00:18:19.015 --> 00:18:20.474
- Hi.
- How are you?

00:18:20.641 --> 00:18:22.309
- Good, good, good.
- Come in.

00:18:22.477 --> 00:18:23.518
Hey, Mom.

00:18:24.020 --> 00:18:27.189
So you thought Larry changed a lot
after he and Suzanne were married?

00:18:27.356 --> 00:18:30.442
Totally. It was like suddenly,
you know, he went from Van Halen

00:18:30.610 --> 00:18:33.195
to Jerry Vale overnight.

00:18:33.362 --> 00:18:36.740
I don't know. She didn't have any...
Well, she thought she had taste, but...

00:18:42.205 --> 00:18:44.247
Barquettes with leek chiffonade.

00:18:45.708 --> 00:18:47.334
This is the dish that they serve

00:18:47.502 --> 00:18:50.462
in Johnny Carson's
favorite restaurant in Hollywood.

00:18:50.630 --> 00:18:53.924
Well, hey, if it's good enough
for Johnny...

00:19:00.223 --> 00:19:03.225
Well, was that
some meal or what?

00:19:03.392 --> 00:19:04.434
Oh.

00:19:04.602 --> 00:19:07.270
I say Julia Childs
better watch her back

00:19:07.438 --> 00:19:09.564
or she'll be looking
for another job, huh?

00:19:09.732 --> 00:19:10.982
Oh, Larry.

00:19:11.692 --> 00:19:13.985
Well, I won't be doing this
every night.

00:19:14.153 --> 00:19:17.906
I'm planning to start this exercise
class so I can get rid of a few pounds.

00:19:18.074 --> 00:19:20.659
From where? Your feet?
Heh-heh-heh.

00:19:20.827 --> 00:19:23.829
- On TV the camera adds five pounds.
- Is that true?

00:19:23.996 --> 00:19:27.874
I didn't know that.
Did you know that, Joe?

00:19:28.042 --> 00:19:29.668
No.

00:19:32.171 --> 00:19:35.340
Talking about exercise,
I gotta go.

00:19:35.508 --> 00:19:37.259
- Hey.
- I gotta rehearse.

00:19:37.426 --> 00:19:41.429
I got a rehearsal at some god-awful
hour all the way over in Norwalk.

00:19:41.597 --> 00:19:43.098
What are you rehearsing, dear?

00:19:43.266 --> 00:19:44.891
Janice has a job
in the Ice Follies.

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:48.061
They're going on tour in September.
Hey, sis, that's fabulous.

00:19:48.229 --> 00:19:49.271
Thanks.

00:19:49.438 --> 00:19:52.774
I'm just one of the chorus,
you know, now, but...

00:19:52.942 --> 00:19:55.902
Well, actually, I do skate
this one medley.

00:19:56.070 --> 00:20:00.448
It's kind of a, you know,
salute to great TV shows.

00:20:00.616 --> 00:20:04.995
I skate the Peggy Lipton part in
The Mod Squad number, you know?

00:20:05.162 --> 00:20:06.454
Peggy Lipton?
Yeah.

00:20:06.622 --> 00:20:09.249
I get to wear a blond wig
and everything, you know?

00:20:09.417 --> 00:20:10.458
How exciting.

00:20:10.626 --> 00:20:12.377
Yeah, they're talking about, like,

00:20:12.545 --> 00:20:15.297
well, maybe a TV special
this year, so...

00:20:15.464 --> 00:20:17.007
Now, listen. Hang on, everybody.

00:20:17.174 --> 00:20:19.634
Because, well, we've got

00:20:19.802 --> 00:20:22.345
a pretty important announcement
ourselves to make,

00:20:22.513 --> 00:20:24.472
and I think congratulations
are in order.

00:20:27.810 --> 00:20:29.102
Larry.

00:20:29.270 --> 00:20:31.980
Oh, honey.
Wait, wait, wait. Cut, cut, cut.

00:20:32.148 --> 00:20:33.899
It's not that.

00:20:34.650 --> 00:20:38.028
You're not...?
No, I'm not pregnant, for God's sake.

00:20:38.446 --> 00:20:39.487
Oh.

00:20:39.655 --> 00:20:42.324
- Suzy's got a job.
- What?

00:20:42.491 --> 00:20:45.660
Over at WWEN, the TV station.

00:20:45.828 --> 00:20:48.163
The first woman they ever hired.
Isn't that right?

00:20:48.331 --> 00:20:50.040
That's right.

00:20:50.207 --> 00:20:53.335
Yep, our Suze is on her way now,

00:20:53.502 --> 00:20:56.504
and nothing is gonna stop her.

00:20:56.672 --> 00:20:59.215
Oh, honey, I'm proud of you.

00:20:59.383 --> 00:21:00.926
That's great.

00:21:03.179 --> 00:21:05.096
We're proud of you.

00:21:05.264 --> 00:21:08.475
Great. Great.

00:21:10.853 --> 00:21:13.313
- So how are the newlyweds?
- Oh, they're doing great.

00:21:13.481 --> 00:21:15.941
Thanks, Sal.
Yeah, cute kids.

00:21:16.108 --> 00:21:17.233
Aren't they just?
Yeah.

00:21:17.401 --> 00:21:20.111
Did you like the barquettes?
The what?

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:22.530
With the leek chiffonade.
Was it okay?

00:21:23.032 --> 00:21:24.491
We never did them before,

00:21:24.659 --> 00:21:28.954
but she showed us this recipe
in a book, so, pfft, no problem.

00:21:29.121 --> 00:21:31.206
I never told anyone.

00:21:31.374 --> 00:21:32.874
Even Joe.

00:21:33.042 --> 00:21:36.878
So she couldn't cook.
There are worse crimes,

00:21:37.046 --> 00:21:39.214
as we all know.

00:21:39.382 --> 00:21:42.384
You're not anybody in America
unless you're on TV.

00:21:42.551 --> 00:21:45.303
On TV is where we learn
about who we really are,

00:21:45.513 --> 00:21:48.264
because what's the point
of doing anything worthwhile

00:21:48.432 --> 00:21:49.766
if nobody's watching?

00:21:49.934 --> 00:21:53.603
And if people are watching,
it makes you a better person.

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:58.316
Marry me. Mary, say yes.

00:22:02.488 --> 00:22:06.533
I thought she was like
a goddess of some kind.

00:22:06.909 --> 00:22:08.910
Like Lady Di
before she dumped the prince

00:22:09.078 --> 00:22:12.038
and went nudist and everything.

00:22:12.373 --> 00:22:15.750
Suzanne bought me this dress,
which I hope to fit someday.

00:22:19.588 --> 00:22:22.132
Suzanne Maretto was
a beautiful human being

00:22:22.299 --> 00:22:26.011
with real dreams and "aspiritions."

00:22:42.695 --> 00:22:46.406
Suzanne used to say,
"Opportunity is always knocking."

00:22:46.574 --> 00:22:48.825
If you aren't listening,
its knuckles get sore,

00:22:48.993 --> 00:22:50.618
"and it moves to another house."

00:22:50.786 --> 00:22:52.454
Something like that.

00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:54.873
She said that even
on her honeymoon

00:22:55.041 --> 00:22:57.083
she had Larry take her to this hotel

00:22:57.251 --> 00:23:00.253
in Florida where there was gonna
be this kind of convention

00:23:00.421 --> 00:23:02.589
of all these big-shot TV people

00:23:02.757 --> 00:23:05.467
that she'd read about
in a magazine.

00:23:05.801 --> 00:23:08.845
Which, of course, she didn't tell
Larry, because she didn't want

00:23:09.013 --> 00:23:12.640
to maybe hurt his feelings
about her attending to her career

00:23:12.808 --> 00:23:16.853
while they were bonding sexually,
so to speak.

00:23:19.648 --> 00:23:23.818
So the German reporter
says to the Hungarian editor,

00:23:23.986 --> 00:23:26.154
"Of course she's always smiling.

00:23:26.322 --> 00:23:29.699
"She gets faxed at least
10 times a day." Boom!

00:23:31.702 --> 00:23:33.661
Thank you. Thank you.

00:23:33.829 --> 00:23:35.663
I know that's a silly joke,

00:23:35.831 --> 00:23:38.833
but it does illustrate
our central thesis today,

00:23:39.001 --> 00:23:43.838
which is "Here and Now in the
Fast-Moving Computer Age."

00:23:44.006 --> 00:23:45.298
It's the...

00:23:48.928 --> 00:23:51.346
In our fast-moving computer age,

00:23:51.514 --> 00:23:53.723
it's the medium of television

00:23:53.891 --> 00:23:57.894
that joins together
our global community.

00:23:58.062 --> 00:24:00.021
And it is the...

00:24:02.817 --> 00:24:07.195
It is the television journalist
who serves as messenger,

00:24:07.613 --> 00:24:10.240
bringing the world
into our homes

00:24:10.407 --> 00:24:13.785
and our homes into the world.

00:24:13.953 --> 00:24:15.703
Thank you.

00:24:15.871 --> 00:24:17.372
Thank you very much.

00:24:19.125 --> 00:24:21.042
Thanks a lot.

00:24:28.217 --> 00:24:30.969
- The point is, Miss...
- Stone.

00:24:31.137 --> 00:24:33.346
Miss Stone.
Suzanne.

00:24:33.514 --> 00:24:36.891
Suzanne Stone.
That's a good name.

00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:40.228
Now, that's a name
you can remember.

00:24:40.396 --> 00:24:42.730
The point is, Suzanne,

00:24:42.898 --> 00:24:46.151
if you want it bad enough
you'll get it,

00:24:46.318 --> 00:24:48.778
but you gotta really want it.

00:24:48.946 --> 00:24:53.741
You gotta be able to do things
that ordinary people wouldn't do.

00:24:54.535 --> 00:24:57.120
Mm.
You see what I'm saying?

00:24:57.288 --> 00:25:00.540
Hm. I think so.

00:25:01.208 --> 00:25:02.584
How about another of those?

00:25:03.002 --> 00:25:06.045
Oh, um... I don't know about that.
Sweetheart?

00:25:06.213 --> 00:25:09.257
- Yes.
- Give us another all around, okay?

00:25:09.425 --> 00:25:10.592
Okay. Heh, heh.

00:25:12.803 --> 00:25:15.388
Anyway,
when I was at the network,

00:25:15.556 --> 00:25:19.434
there was this gal from some
10-watt station in the Midwest

00:25:19.602 --> 00:25:21.978
where she did the weather.

00:25:22.146 --> 00:25:23.396
The weather.

00:25:24.815 --> 00:25:27.025
So she comes up to New York

00:25:27.193 --> 00:25:30.778
in her best Donna Karan
dress-for-success knockoff,

00:25:30.946 --> 00:25:34.449
blond hair all done up
in a French twist,

00:25:34.617 --> 00:25:39.287
and an audition tape
in her imitation leather briefcase,

00:25:39.455 --> 00:25:43.291
along with a letter of introduction
from her station manager.

00:25:43.459 --> 00:25:45.001
And it says,

00:25:45.169 --> 00:25:47.921
"Please give your
most serious consideration

00:25:48.088 --> 00:25:49.797
to the bearer of this letter."

00:25:49.965 --> 00:25:51.799
Miss So-and-So.

00:25:51.967 --> 00:25:55.386
"Who is of moderate intelligence,"

00:25:55.554 --> 00:25:58.932
who has some experience
in broadcasting,

00:25:59.099 --> 00:26:00.892
and, more importantly,

00:26:01.060 --> 00:26:04.229
"who can suck your cock
until your eyes pop out."

00:26:13.239 --> 00:26:15.281
And you know
who that gal is today?

00:26:17.576 --> 00:26:19.118
Who?

00:26:25.834 --> 00:26:27.335
Is that true?

00:26:27.503 --> 00:26:29.170
It's true.

00:26:29.713 --> 00:26:32.715
And here comes the best part.

00:26:32.883 --> 00:26:34.717
- Yes?
- This is the best part.

00:26:34.885 --> 00:26:38.471
About 10 years ago, I'm at
some TV conference somewhere

00:26:38.639 --> 00:26:40.515
and I run into that station manager

00:26:40.683 --> 00:26:43.851
and I congratulate him
on his letter-writing skills.

00:26:44.353 --> 00:26:49.107
And he doesn't know
what I'm talking about.

00:26:52.903 --> 00:26:54.737
Why doesn't he?

00:26:54.905 --> 00:26:57.198
Because, sweetheart,
he didn't write the letter.

00:26:57.866 --> 00:26:59.534
Oh. Heh, heh.

00:27:02.663 --> 00:27:04.706
Oh. Who did?

00:27:05.833 --> 00:27:09.043
She did. She wrote it herself.

00:27:10.004 --> 00:27:12.422
Oh.

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:15.300
Oh, I see.

00:27:15.467 --> 00:27:17.385
- It's good, isn't it?
- I love it.

00:27:21.390 --> 00:27:24.642
- I watch your show all the time.
- Everybody does.

00:27:25.728 --> 00:27:27.770
So, uh...

00:27:28.564 --> 00:27:31.065
What do you think, Suzanne?

00:27:36.572 --> 00:27:37.613
What...?

00:27:37.781 --> 00:27:40.033
What do I think about what?

00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:41.826
Well...

00:27:55.466 --> 00:27:56.758
Suzanne.

00:27:58.927 --> 00:28:00.928
Suze.

00:28:01.555 --> 00:28:04.015
Hi, honey.
Suze.

00:28:04.183 --> 00:28:05.767
Where were you?

00:28:07.019 --> 00:28:09.103
I couldn't sleep.

00:28:09.730 --> 00:28:12.023
When I put out the sign
for a gal Friday,

00:28:12.191 --> 00:28:14.776
I figured I'd be interviewing
high-school dropouts

00:28:14.943 --> 00:28:18.029
who wouldn't mind going to the mall
and picking up doughnuts

00:28:18.197 --> 00:28:20.490
and emptying the ashtrays.
That kind of thing.

00:28:20.657 --> 00:28:23.409
And this is when we first meet
Gangbusters.

00:28:23.577 --> 00:28:26.829
That's what George and I
called Suzanne.

00:28:31.794 --> 00:28:34.087
Uh, not to her face, of course.

00:28:48.977 --> 00:28:53.606
Mr. Grant, I am the woman
you are looking for.

00:28:53.774 --> 00:28:55.483
My name is
Suzanne Stone Maretto,

00:28:55.651 --> 00:28:59.153
but I, um, plan to use Suzanne Stone
as my professional name.

00:28:59.321 --> 00:29:02.115
I'd like you to look over
my résumé,

00:29:02.282 --> 00:29:04.826
which details
both my educational background

00:29:04.993 --> 00:29:07.662
and my references
in the media field.

00:29:07.830 --> 00:29:11.499
Mr. Grant,
I can make you a solemn promise

00:29:11.667 --> 00:29:14.001
that I will be dedicated
and committed to this job.

00:29:14.169 --> 00:29:17.046
Whoa. Hang on
a second, Suzanne.

00:29:17.214 --> 00:29:20.133
We're only looking for someone
to answer the mail, run errands.

00:29:20.300 --> 00:29:21.968
Minimum pay, no benefits.

00:29:22.136 --> 00:29:24.846
Oh, money is not
my main concern, Mr. Grant.

00:29:25.013 --> 00:29:27.515
I just want a chance
to contribute something.

00:29:27.683 --> 00:29:30.977
I think you'll find I have very
valuable ideas about programming.

00:29:31.145 --> 00:29:32.979
Whoa, whoa. No.

00:29:33.147 --> 00:29:36.357
You're not hearing what I'm saying.
Take a look around you.

00:29:36.525 --> 00:29:40.736
I mean, Suzanne, we're talking
local cable station here.

00:29:40.904 --> 00:29:43.448
Oh, I just want a chance
to get my foot in the door.

00:29:43.615 --> 00:29:45.700
Everybody has to start somewhere.

00:29:45.868 --> 00:29:48.202
Do you know where
Edward R. Murrow started?

00:29:49.204 --> 00:29:50.872
No. No, I don't.

00:29:51.874 --> 00:29:52.915
No.

00:29:53.083 --> 00:29:56.711
No. Well, neither do I offhand. But I
don't think it was at the top, do you? Hm?

00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:00.131
I live only five minutes away
from here.

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:01.716
I will be willing and eager

00:30:01.884 --> 00:30:05.845
to respond to any newsworthy
emergency you put in front of me.

00:30:06.472 --> 00:30:07.805
Uh...

00:30:08.265 --> 00:30:12.101
Mr. Grant, this is a dream
I have had all my life.

00:30:12.269 --> 00:30:15.104
I will do anything to get this job.
Anything.

00:30:16.231 --> 00:30:19.400
This is my associate, George.

00:30:21.904 --> 00:30:22.904
Oh.

00:30:23.071 --> 00:30:25.239
Pleased to meet you, George.

00:30:25.407 --> 00:30:28.159
Well, we'll think about it.

00:30:30.245 --> 00:30:31.746
I believe that my assets...

00:30:31.914 --> 00:30:34.081
Hey, I said we'll think about it.

00:30:34.249 --> 00:30:35.875
And we will.
Okay.

00:30:36.043 --> 00:30:39.378
Okay?
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

00:30:40.589 --> 00:30:41.923
Okay.

00:30:45.469 --> 00:30:47.845
I believe that
in our fast-moving computer age

00:30:48.013 --> 00:30:51.641
it is the medium of television that
joins together the global community,

00:30:51.808 --> 00:30:54.810
and it is the television journalist
who serves as messenger,

00:30:54.978 --> 00:30:58.773
bringing the world into our homes
and our homes into the world.

00:30:58.941 --> 00:31:02.193
It has always been my dream
to become such a messenger.

00:31:02.361 --> 00:31:04.403
I look to you, gentlemen, now

00:31:04.571 --> 00:31:08.199
to make that dream a reality.

00:31:17.334 --> 00:31:18.751
Jesus Christ.

00:31:19.253 --> 00:31:20.753
Gangbusters.

00:31:20.921 --> 00:31:24.257
Fucking gangbusters.

00:31:47.531 --> 00:31:49.073
Hey.

00:31:49.658 --> 00:31:51.993
Hey, come on back to bed.
I gotta go to work.

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:53.786
Come on, 10 minutes.
I gotta go.

00:31:53.954 --> 00:31:55.705
Five minutes.
I gotta put my face on.

00:31:55.872 --> 00:31:58.499
Come on. Put your face on me.
Two minutes.

00:31:58.667 --> 00:32:01.627
Take your hand away.

00:32:11.555 --> 00:32:12.680
Come, Walter.

00:32:13.765 --> 00:32:17.351
The dog was a cute little thing,
now wasn't he?

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.145
She was just crazy
about that dog.

00:32:19.313 --> 00:32:21.272
It was darling.

00:32:37.372 --> 00:32:39.707
Oh, hello.

00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:51.135
She named it Walter
after Walter, um...

00:32:51.303 --> 00:32:54.889
Is it Cronkite?
The guy who used to be on TV.

00:32:55.057 --> 00:32:57.892
I think he was Dan Rather's
uncle or something.

00:32:58.060 --> 00:33:02.897
It was like a hairball puked up
by some demon from hell.

00:33:04.066 --> 00:33:05.524
There wasn't much to do.

00:33:05.692 --> 00:33:10.237
Most of the time she just sat
over there and worked on her file.

00:33:10.405 --> 00:33:12.740
Her idea file.

00:33:12.908 --> 00:33:14.825
She had so many ideas.

00:33:16.745 --> 00:33:20.665
This is the presentation on that idea
with me going to movie theaters,

00:33:20.832 --> 00:33:23.918
talking to the people coming out
to see what they really think.

00:33:24.086 --> 00:33:26.253
An actual, um, ahem,

00:33:26.421 --> 00:33:29.006
vox populi, if you know the term.

00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:33.886
Here's the memo on that children's
show with me as the hostess

00:33:34.054 --> 00:33:35.554
and the live, in-studio animals.

00:33:35.722 --> 00:33:38.724
If you could look it over tonight.
Give me your thoughts in the morning.

00:33:40.352 --> 00:33:42.311
A couple of pages
outlining that concept

00:33:42.479 --> 00:33:44.980
for interviewing everyday citizens,
like mailmen,

00:33:45.148 --> 00:33:46.440
school crossing guards,

00:33:46.608 --> 00:33:50.319
to inform our citizenry on what kind
of services are available to them.

00:33:56.493 --> 00:33:59.161
After a few months,
she wore me down.

00:33:59.329 --> 00:34:02.289
I let her do the evening weather
report, which she was fine at.

00:34:02.457 --> 00:34:04.333
With the preparation she put into it,

00:34:04.501 --> 00:34:07.128
you'd think she was
covering D-Day. Ha-ha-ha.

00:34:07.295 --> 00:34:09.296
Six, five,

00:34:09.965 --> 00:34:12.299
four, three,

00:34:12.467 --> 00:34:15.136
two, one.

00:34:17.097 --> 00:34:18.973
You're on.

00:34:19.391 --> 00:34:23.227
Good evening
from the WWEN Weather Center.

00:34:23.395 --> 00:34:24.812
Weather Center?

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:26.814
The heavy system
we were expecting.

00:34:26.982 --> 00:34:29.984
Moving down from the north
is not gonna show up after all,

00:34:30.569 --> 00:34:32.319
because the high-pressure system

00:34:32.487 --> 00:34:35.489
is going to be moving
up to the north.

00:34:35.657 --> 00:34:38.951
The temperature for tonight
will remain unseasonably cool

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:41.537
with patches of fog in the morning
and probably...

00:34:41.705 --> 00:34:44.999
Hey, come on.
Let's have some quiet here.

00:34:45.167 --> 00:34:48.961
The winds are at seven to 10 miles
per hour and sunrise will be at 6:12.

00:34:49.129 --> 00:34:51.464
That's it for your
up-to-the-minute weather report.

00:34:51.631 --> 00:34:53.549
This is your WWEN
weather person saying

00:34:53.717 --> 00:34:58.179
I'll be with you again tomorrow
evening, rain or shine.

00:35:13.695 --> 00:35:17.281
I never really gave a rat's ass
about the weather

00:35:17.908 --> 00:35:20.618
until I got to know Mrs. Maretto.

00:35:20.786 --> 00:35:23.871
Now I take it very serious.

00:35:24.873 --> 00:35:26.874
If it rains

00:35:28.126 --> 00:35:30.711
or there's lightning or thunder

00:35:30.879 --> 00:35:32.755
or if it snows,

00:35:32.923 --> 00:35:34.298
I have to jack off.

00:35:34.466 --> 00:35:36.217
Uh... Hm...

00:35:36.384 --> 00:35:38.719
Oh, right. Sorry.

00:36:23.265 --> 00:36:25.850
Today's guest, Mrs. Maretto,

00:36:26.893 --> 00:36:31.605
is a representative of our local
television station, WWEN.

00:36:31.773 --> 00:36:34.024
On-air correspondent.
- I'm sorry?

00:36:34.192 --> 00:36:37.278
Well, actually,
I'm an on-air correspondent.

00:36:37.445 --> 00:36:39.446
Well, that's fine.

00:36:39.614 --> 00:36:42.908
Anyway, Mrs. Maretto has asked
to have a few words with you,

00:36:43.076 --> 00:36:47.746
and I know that while I'm gone
you will give her your best attention.

00:36:47.914 --> 00:36:49.456
Here's my best attention.

00:36:51.209 --> 00:36:53.627
Did you say something, Russell?

00:36:53.795 --> 00:36:55.629
No, Mr. Finlaysson, I didn't.

00:36:57.215 --> 00:36:58.632
I didn't.

00:37:04.764 --> 00:37:08.309
Well, first of all,
I would like to thank you all

00:37:08.476 --> 00:37:12.062
for extending me the courtesy
of your time and attention.

00:37:12.230 --> 00:37:13.814
I got something to extend.

00:37:16.151 --> 00:37:19.278
And I would like to say
that I hope you'll all be as excited

00:37:19.446 --> 00:37:23.324
about the project I'm here
to propose to you as I am.

00:37:23.491 --> 00:37:25.409
First of all, I want to ask

00:37:25.577 --> 00:37:29.163
have any of you actually ever
been on television before?

00:37:29.497 --> 00:37:31.665
Not counting home video,
of course.

00:37:32.834 --> 00:37:33.918
No one?

00:37:35.837 --> 00:37:37.463
I was.

00:37:40.050 --> 00:37:42.718
- What's your name?
- Lydia Mertz.

00:37:42.886 --> 00:37:46.513
And how did it happen
that you made this appearance?

00:37:47.641 --> 00:37:50.142
Oh, it was down
at Benson's Electronics.

00:37:50.310 --> 00:37:52.519
They have this video camera
in the window

00:37:52.687 --> 00:37:55.314
and when you walk by
they take your picture.

00:37:57.984 --> 00:38:00.027
Well, Lydia, this may come
as a surprise,

00:38:00.195 --> 00:38:04.114
but that is how some of our most
famous personalities started out.

00:38:04.282 --> 00:38:07.451
Just seeing what they look like,
accidentally.

00:38:07.619 --> 00:38:10.287
Is that true?
Absolutely.

00:38:11.206 --> 00:38:14.708
Now, I am producing
a television documentary

00:38:14.876 --> 00:38:16.961
about kids just like yourselves,

00:38:17.128 --> 00:38:19.296
because it is teenagers like you

00:38:19.464 --> 00:38:22.633
who are the future of our nation.

00:38:22.801 --> 00:38:25.719
And, after all, I used to be
a teenager myself once,

00:38:25.887 --> 00:38:28.138
back in the Dark Ages.
Heh, heh.

00:38:30.600 --> 00:38:34.061
So I would like to find out
about your way of life.

00:38:34.229 --> 00:38:37.773
How you feel
about your education,

00:38:37.941 --> 00:38:40.401
how you feel about
things like peer pressure,

00:38:40.568 --> 00:38:43.237
how you feel about drugs,

00:38:43.405 --> 00:38:45.739
um, rap music.

00:38:45.907 --> 00:38:47.241
Pussy?

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:52.830
Do we have to get permission slips
from our parents for this?

00:38:52.998 --> 00:38:55.165
No. No, that wouldn't be necessary.

00:38:55.333 --> 00:38:57.626
Hey, when did your folks learn
to read and write?

00:38:57.794 --> 00:38:59.253
Hey, read this, shitface.

00:39:02.090 --> 00:39:03.632
All right. All right.

00:39:05.260 --> 00:39:07.511
All right, all right, all right.

00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.931
I am going to put this list
on your bulletin board.

00:39:11.099 --> 00:39:14.018
And any of you
who think this project

00:39:14.185 --> 00:39:18.063
would be as meaningful
as I know it can be

00:39:18.231 --> 00:39:20.149
just put their names on it.

00:39:20.316 --> 00:39:22.443
And I would also like
to thank you all.

00:39:24.446 --> 00:39:26.363
For your interest.

00:39:34.622 --> 00:39:36.957
Everything settled then?
Yes.

00:39:38.710 --> 00:39:42.212
Well, then let's give
Mrs. Maretto our thanks

00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:44.631
and a round of applause.

00:39:53.475 --> 00:39:54.767
Thank you. Thank you.

00:39:56.144 --> 00:39:57.644
Sign up.

00:40:17.499 --> 00:40:18.540
Suzanne.

00:40:20.668 --> 00:40:23.629
I'd never really signed up
for anything before

00:40:23.797 --> 00:40:27.257
except an after-school
Weight Watchers program,

00:40:27.425 --> 00:40:31.053
which I was asked to leave anyway
because they said I wasn't motivated

00:40:31.221 --> 00:40:35.182
and because I gained 11 pounds
in three weeks.

00:40:35.350 --> 00:40:38.018
But this was different,
because it turned out to be

00:40:38.186 --> 00:40:40.479
the most important thing
I ever did.

00:40:47.779 --> 00:40:50.781
Now, here's some advice,
Russell dear.

00:40:51.741 --> 00:40:54.326
That nice Mrs. Maretto
is married to a boy

00:40:54.494 --> 00:40:57.579
whose father is a pillar of
the Italian-American community,

00:40:57.747 --> 00:41:00.374
and if he knew
how you had insulted

00:41:00.542 --> 00:41:03.168
his only beloved daughter-in-law,

00:41:03.336 --> 00:41:05.087
he would make one phone call

00:41:05.255 --> 00:41:09.716
and a man would show up in the middle of
the night and turn you into a eunuch.

00:41:10.802 --> 00:41:14.179
You know what a eunuch is,
Russell? Of course you don't.

00:41:14.347 --> 00:41:16.098
But you can find it in the dictionary.

00:41:16.266 --> 00:41:18.475
If you don't know how to spell it,
look it up

00:41:18.643 --> 00:41:21.061
under "nutless wonders."

00:41:21.938 --> 00:41:25.274
So I'm thinking,
there must be some simple way

00:41:25.441 --> 00:41:27.943
for you to make it up
to Mrs. Maretto

00:41:28.111 --> 00:41:30.154
for your offensive behavior.

00:41:30.321 --> 00:41:32.406
What do you think? Hm?

00:41:34.701 --> 00:41:36.577
Wow, a eunuch.

00:41:55.263 --> 00:41:58.265
I have to say
that the staff at WWEN

00:41:58.433 --> 00:42:01.476
responded with total enthusiasm
to my project

00:42:01.644 --> 00:42:03.437
and gave me excellent support

00:42:03.605 --> 00:42:05.606
both editorially and technically.

00:42:05.773 --> 00:42:07.733
I think they could sense
immediately

00:42:07.901 --> 00:42:12.112
that I was onto something important
in a sociological sense.

00:42:12.655 --> 00:42:15.616
She must've taped God knows
how many hundreds of hours

00:42:15.783 --> 00:42:18.118
with these three dorky kids

00:42:18.286 --> 00:42:20.954
who, from what I've seen,
would have a major struggle

00:42:21.122 --> 00:42:23.749
just reciting the days of the week
in proper order.

00:42:23.917 --> 00:42:25.918
Forget about social insights.

00:42:26.085 --> 00:42:27.878
Here, I'll show you.

00:42:33.301 --> 00:42:37.346
This is Teens Speak Out project,
tape one, take one.

00:42:37.513 --> 00:42:38.764
No, no, no.

00:42:38.932 --> 00:42:41.892
I'm Suzanne Stone
and these are...

00:42:43.645 --> 00:42:48.357
All right, now, let's just say
something in general about ourselves.

00:42:48.524 --> 00:42:49.650
Like what?

00:42:49.817 --> 00:42:51.857
Like what do you plan to do
with your future, Lydia?

00:42:53.488 --> 00:42:55.989
I don't exactly have a plan.

00:42:56.157 --> 00:42:58.659
Well, you must have
aspirations of some kind.

00:42:59.410 --> 00:43:02.663
What?
A dream, a life goal.

00:43:03.873 --> 00:43:05.707
I can tell you Lydia's big life goal.

00:43:05.875 --> 00:43:06.917
Yeah?

00:43:07.085 --> 00:43:09.836
It's to fuck
the New Kids on the Block.

00:43:10.672 --> 00:43:13.715
That's a dirty lie.
Russell.

00:43:13.883 --> 00:43:16.677
I don't wanna hear language
like that. It is offensive,

00:43:16.844 --> 00:43:19.596
and it is unsuitable for broadcast
under FCC regulations.

00:43:19.764 --> 00:43:21.223
You got that?
Yeah.

00:43:21.391 --> 00:43:23.016
Anyways, it was Mötley Crüe.

00:43:23.184 --> 00:43:24.184
All right, Lydia.

00:43:24.352 --> 00:43:26.979
- Just for your information.
- What about you, James?

00:43:29.691 --> 00:43:31.441
James?

00:43:33.027 --> 00:43:34.403
James.

00:43:34.570 --> 00:43:35.862
Huh?

00:43:38.032 --> 00:43:41.743
I think you get the point that it's not,
"Mike Wallace, eat your heart out."

00:43:41.911 --> 00:43:45.664
But I have to say
I've never seen more persistence.

00:43:45.832 --> 00:43:48.000
I, uh... I once said to her...

00:43:48.626 --> 00:43:51.795
What about...?
What about we call it a night?

00:43:51.963 --> 00:43:53.046
Uh...

00:43:53.214 --> 00:43:55.966
Just need to get this reel
cleaned up.

00:43:56.134 --> 00:43:58.802
An hour, maybe two.
You go ahead. I'll lock up.

00:43:58.970 --> 00:44:02.389
Don't you have that nice husband
waiting at home for you?

00:44:02.557 --> 00:44:05.058
Well, he knows how much
this means to me.

00:44:05.226 --> 00:44:09.146
He works full-time at his dad's
restaurant, so he gets home real late.

00:44:09.605 --> 00:44:13.358
Well, Suzanne, I sure pity
the person who says no to you.

00:44:15.069 --> 00:44:16.862
No one ever does.

00:44:21.576 --> 00:44:23.869
Why are you tying her up again?

00:44:25.246 --> 00:44:26.955
Why is she tied up again?

00:44:27.123 --> 00:44:29.249
Just leave her alone.

00:44:29.417 --> 00:44:30.500
Untie yourself.

00:44:30.668 --> 00:44:32.753
Leave her alone.
If she runs away...

00:44:41.596 --> 00:44:43.180
As Scripture says, God is the light.

00:44:43.348 --> 00:44:47.601
- Ouch. Fucker.
- And that light, friends, is heaven.

00:44:47.769 --> 00:44:49.770
Heaven is waiting for you.

00:44:50.438 --> 00:44:52.564
James?

00:44:53.107 --> 00:44:56.860
James.

00:44:57.528 --> 00:45:01.281
See, nobody ever
called me that before.

00:45:01.449 --> 00:45:03.617
All anyone ever called me was

00:45:03.785 --> 00:45:08.080
Jimmy or Jimbo or other stuff.

00:45:08.247 --> 00:45:11.166
My mom told me
that I was named Jimmy

00:45:11.334 --> 00:45:14.127
after this old movie star
she liked

00:45:14.295 --> 00:45:16.546
named Jimmy Dean.

00:45:16.714 --> 00:45:18.006
But...

00:45:18.174 --> 00:45:22.219
Well, when anyone ever asked me,
I always said that I was named Jim

00:45:22.387 --> 00:45:25.639
after Jim Morrison of The Doors,

00:45:25.807 --> 00:45:27.474
because, you know,

00:45:27.642 --> 00:45:29.351
he had this great kind of life,

00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:33.438
like, just traveling around
and writing his songs

00:45:33.606 --> 00:45:36.066
and having women beg him
to do it to them,

00:45:36.234 --> 00:45:38.777
even to take his, uh...

00:45:38.945 --> 00:45:42.197
organ out on-stage.

00:45:44.158 --> 00:45:46.827
The kind of life that I always
thought I'd like to have.

00:45:54.627 --> 00:45:57.003
I bet he jumps her
all the time, you know?

00:45:57.171 --> 00:46:00.841
Like after dinner, just bang,
right on the kitchen table.

00:46:01.008 --> 00:46:02.717
Fucking during even.

00:46:02.885 --> 00:46:05.178
Yeah. Maybe both.

00:46:06.722 --> 00:46:09.850
Those skinny bitches, they can't
get enough of it, you know?

00:46:10.017 --> 00:46:12.519
They're always wanting it.
That's a medical fact.

00:46:12.687 --> 00:46:13.728
Yeah.

00:46:13.896 --> 00:46:17.315
It's because the nerves in their body
are all bunched up in their snatch.

00:46:17.483 --> 00:46:21.736
You know what I mean? They're all right
up in there, so they're all whack.

00:46:21.904 --> 00:46:23.280
I don't think that's true.

00:46:24.282 --> 00:46:26.032
What are you, a doctor?

00:46:27.118 --> 00:46:28.869
She's a perfectly nice person.

00:46:29.454 --> 00:46:32.706
You think she's gonna make you
a big movie star, huh, Lydia?

00:46:32.874 --> 00:46:35.459
Just to be on TV
will be something nice.

00:46:35.626 --> 00:46:37.419
It will be something different.

00:46:37.587 --> 00:46:40.338
I got something different
for you right here, all right?

00:46:41.007 --> 00:46:43.216
You're a disgusting pig.
Yeah.

00:46:52.059 --> 00:46:55.479
You know what we should do?
We should get some money out of her.

00:46:55.646 --> 00:46:58.607
What makes you think she's got any?
What, are you shitting me?

00:46:58.774 --> 00:47:00.442
Her husband,
Mr. Fucking-Big-Cock,

00:47:00.610 --> 00:47:03.111
owns a fucking guinea restaurant,
all right?

00:47:03.279 --> 00:47:06.072
Look at the car she drives.
Look at her fucking fingernails.

00:47:06.240 --> 00:47:09.075
Big, red, sculpted, glossy nails.

00:47:09.243 --> 00:47:12.996
She got plenty of money.
That's rich-bitch stuff.

00:47:13.164 --> 00:47:14.498
Yeah, maybe.

00:47:14.665 --> 00:47:17.834
You think she's some kind
of hot shit, don't you?

00:47:19.170 --> 00:47:22.088
She just looks...
What?

00:47:23.216 --> 00:47:24.424
Clean.

00:47:34.101 --> 00:47:37.604
All right, come on. They're ready.
Larry, Larry, Larry.

00:47:37.772 --> 00:47:39.564
Kids, stop it.

00:47:39.732 --> 00:47:41.566
That's a real pretty outfit, honey.

00:47:41.734 --> 00:47:42.776
Thanks.

00:47:42.944 --> 00:47:46.238
Hey, Suze. You want one of these?
No, thanks.

00:47:46.405 --> 00:47:49.991
No? What about one of these?
You're going in the pool.

00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:52.536
- No, thanks.
Heh-heh-heh.

00:47:54.997 --> 00:47:57.791
Sure is great with those kids.
He's gotta stop eating junk.

00:47:57.959 --> 00:48:00.585
He's getting a rubber tire
around him like some old man.

00:48:00.753 --> 00:48:03.129
He'll make a wonderful father
someday.

00:48:03.297 --> 00:48:05.632
He calls them love handles.
I call them flab.

00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.635
What about you?
Me? You think I look fat?

00:48:08.803 --> 00:48:11.972
No. What about the idea of kids?

00:48:12.139 --> 00:48:14.641
That's what I mean.
Well, I love kids.

00:48:14.809 --> 00:48:16.351
I absolutely love them,

00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:20.105
but a woman in my field with a baby
has two strikes against her.

00:48:20.273 --> 00:48:22.649
Say I'm in New York, right...
New York?

00:48:22.817 --> 00:48:26.152
Well, for instance. And I'm suddenly
called on some foreign assignment

00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:29.447
like a royal wedding
or a revolution in South America.

00:48:29.615 --> 00:48:31.950
You can't run from place
to place with your crew

00:48:32.118 --> 00:48:35.495
and conduct serious interviews
with a big, fat stomach.

00:48:35.663 --> 00:48:38.832
Or say you've already had the baby,
and you've got this blubber,

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:41.084
these boobs out to here.

00:48:41.252 --> 00:48:43.837
Oof. It's just so gross.

00:48:45.715 --> 00:48:47.841
Hey, careful. Hey.

00:48:49.343 --> 00:48:51.678
- Excuse me.
- Hm. Nice.

00:48:51.846 --> 00:48:53.680
You having a good time?

00:48:53.848 --> 00:48:56.182
Well, I want to get out of the sun.

00:48:56.350 --> 00:48:58.268
I have to go prepare my show.

00:48:58.436 --> 00:49:01.187
I sure would like to have a
couple of them around the house.

00:49:01.355 --> 00:49:03.607
What do you think, Suze?

00:49:03.774 --> 00:49:06.151
Suze. What do you think?

00:49:06.319 --> 00:49:09.946
I think if you wanted a babysitter,
you should've married Mary Poppins.

00:49:16.912 --> 00:49:18.872
Hi, Ed. Wake up, George.

00:49:19.040 --> 00:49:20.582
Let's hit it.

00:49:34.013 --> 00:49:35.388
Hi, everybody.

00:49:35.556 --> 00:49:38.767
This is Suzanne Stone with your
late-night, sign-off weather report

00:49:38.934 --> 00:49:41.353
from the WWEN Weather Center.

00:49:41.812 --> 00:49:44.981
I don't think I need to tell you
that today was a hot one.

00:49:45.149 --> 00:49:48.234
That old mercury
zoomed on up to 91.

00:49:48.402 --> 00:49:50.695
That's a record-breaking temperature
for this date.

00:49:50.863 --> 00:49:52.822
Tomorrow promises to be
more of the same,

00:49:52.990 --> 00:49:55.367
with relevant numbers
way up in the 90s

00:49:55.534 --> 00:49:58.286
humidity to match, and maybe
just a hint of a breeze or two.

00:50:00.206 --> 00:50:02.540
Won't be much help with this heat,
the kind of heat

00:50:02.708 --> 00:50:06.252
that makes me want to head for that
swimming hole with my friend James,

00:50:06.420 --> 00:50:08.755
strip off everything,
including my panties,

00:50:08.923 --> 00:50:10.674
which you can see through
anyway,

00:50:10.841 --> 00:50:12.967
poke my soft, pink tongue
in his mouth,

00:50:13.135 --> 00:50:15.345
slide my hand way up
the inside of his leg

00:50:15.513 --> 00:50:18.598
until he's so hot
that he rolls over on top of me,

00:50:18.766 --> 00:50:22.143
and I'm yelling, "James,"
his name.

00:50:22.311 --> 00:50:25.271
James.

00:50:25.439 --> 00:50:26.898
What are you doing to me

00:50:27.066 --> 00:50:30.527
with your big, fat, hard...?

00:50:34.615 --> 00:50:36.825
Oh, Jesus.

00:50:42.623 --> 00:50:45.125
Listen to me, Larry. Okay.

00:50:46.836 --> 00:50:49.629
So she finishes
her little docudrama,

00:50:49.797 --> 00:50:53.466
whatever the fuck it is.
She sends it off to someone in New York,

00:50:53.634 --> 00:50:55.802
and while she's waiting
for an answer,

00:50:55.970 --> 00:50:58.888
you should, forgive the expression,
knock her up.

00:50:59.056 --> 00:51:00.932
Knock her up and then...

00:51:01.100 --> 00:51:05.895
Whoa, whoa. Whoa. Los Angeles?
What does Los Angeles got to do with it?

00:51:06.063 --> 00:51:07.981
A course in what?

00:51:08.149 --> 00:51:09.649
Advanced media?

00:51:09.817 --> 00:51:11.943
Advanced bullshit, Larry.

00:51:12.111 --> 00:51:16.156
Look, I'm sorry.
You're my brother, okay?

00:51:16.323 --> 00:51:19.242
I know you love her and you want
her to succeed and all that,

00:51:19.410 --> 00:51:23.705
but sometimes, man,
you just gotta say no.

00:51:23.873 --> 00:51:26.124
What do you mean, how?
N-O, that's how.

00:51:26.292 --> 00:51:28.835
Comes to the right of the key,
throws up a hook shot.

00:51:29.003 --> 00:51:30.003
It's good!

00:51:30.171 --> 00:51:33.840
And the score is again tied
here in the first half at the Palace.

00:51:34.008 --> 00:51:36.634
With the ball, Skeeter Jones
brings the ball to the...

00:51:36.802 --> 00:51:39.846
- Suzanne?
- Bounce pass to Meadows...

00:51:40.014 --> 00:51:42.432
Yeah?
Jump shot on the way, bingo!

00:51:42.600 --> 00:51:44.601
Unbelievable play.

00:51:44.769 --> 00:51:46.644
What are you doing?

00:51:46.812 --> 00:51:49.647
Just sitting here,
waiting for you.

00:51:50.024 --> 00:51:54.944
Larry, I asked you to please
keep your feet off the coffee table.

00:51:55.112 --> 00:51:57.530
We gotta talk about
some things, Suzanne.

00:51:57.698 --> 00:51:58.865
What kind of things?

00:52:00.326 --> 00:52:02.952
I think you know
what kind of things.

00:52:04.246 --> 00:52:07.665
No. No, I don't.

00:52:08.375 --> 00:52:11.044
Larry, can't this wait
until tomorrow? I'm really tired.

00:52:11.212 --> 00:52:12.545
No.

00:52:13.881 --> 00:52:15.632
What?

00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:19.052
No, I don't think it can wait. No.

00:52:21.305 --> 00:52:24.432
Sit down.
We're gonna talk about this stuff.

00:52:26.060 --> 00:52:29.771
The thing is, I think we got
this great future ahead of us.

00:52:29.939 --> 00:52:33.233
I just want to make sure we both
understand what the priorities are.

00:52:36.195 --> 00:52:39.989
I think Pop's gonna let me
take over managing the restaurant.

00:52:41.075 --> 00:52:43.910
And I got a lot of exciting ideas,

00:52:44.078 --> 00:52:46.162
like introducing
some new menu items

00:52:46.330 --> 00:52:49.082
and bringing in some
live music on the weekends

00:52:49.250 --> 00:52:51.668
and maybe...
Maybe even one night a week,

00:52:51.836 --> 00:52:54.295
open house for
local singers and comics,

00:52:54.463 --> 00:52:57.549
which you, with your TV background,
you could help me with.

00:52:57.716 --> 00:53:00.343
You know, maybe
shooting the acts

00:53:00.511 --> 00:53:02.762
and then maybe
selling the tapes,

00:53:02.930 --> 00:53:05.473
which you could edit yourself,
back to the performers.

00:53:05.641 --> 00:53:08.852
I talked to my folks about it,
and they thought it'd be a great idea.

00:53:09.019 --> 00:53:11.688
Great idea. Really.

00:53:14.024 --> 00:53:17.777
And believe me, Suze, I am not
selling short what you're doing now.

00:53:17.945 --> 00:53:21.197
I mean, the weather report stuff,

00:53:21.365 --> 00:53:24.450
which you're really good at.

00:53:24.618 --> 00:53:27.287
But let's face facts.

00:53:27.454 --> 00:53:29.956
It's probably not gonna

00:53:30.124 --> 00:53:33.710
lead to any big network offers.

00:53:34.461 --> 00:53:35.503
Now, this way,

00:53:35.671 --> 00:53:38.965
we could be working together
in both our respective fields,

00:53:39.133 --> 00:53:42.760
doing what a family
is supposed to be doing.

00:53:43.304 --> 00:53:46.973
A family, that's what
I'm talking about, Suze, huh?

00:53:49.810 --> 00:53:51.561
What do you think?

00:54:00.321 --> 00:54:01.779
Um...

00:54:07.828 --> 00:54:09.495
I'll think about it.

00:54:17.254 --> 00:54:20.882
It's true that the road
my husband and I chose to travel on

00:54:21.050 --> 00:54:23.676
was paved with many speed bumps.

00:54:23.844 --> 00:54:27.680
Larry said he would never stand
in my way, whatever happened.

00:54:27.848 --> 00:54:32.268
But the word "failure"
is not part of my vocabulary.

00:54:32.436 --> 00:54:36.022
My commitment to my career
or my marriage, or whatever,

00:54:36.190 --> 00:54:39.943
has always been 110 percent.

00:54:40.110 --> 00:54:44.530
Regardless of how fast I was growing in my
vocation, I would never leave Larry behind.

00:54:44.698 --> 00:54:47.700
The word "divorce"
was never mentioned.

00:55:09.056 --> 00:55:11.182
Ta-da. What do you think?

00:55:11.350 --> 00:55:12.892
Oh. Wow.
Like the color?

00:55:13.060 --> 00:55:14.686
Yeah.
It doesn't make me look fat?

00:55:14.853 --> 00:55:16.229
No.
I think I'm gonna get it.

00:55:16.397 --> 00:55:20.483
Oh, Jesus. Heh-heh-heh.
Mr. Maretto is going to...

00:55:20.651 --> 00:55:24.737
Mr. Maretto? Pfft. Yeah, right.

00:55:24.905 --> 00:55:26.572
Let me tell you something, Lydia.

00:55:28.534 --> 00:55:32.412
No. No, you wouldn't understand.
Maybe I would.

00:55:35.916 --> 00:55:38.418
Well, you grow up, you know?

00:55:38.585 --> 00:55:41.254
You think it's all gonna be
like a fairy tale.

00:55:41.422 --> 00:55:45.216
Like you're Sleeping Beauty and
along comes this Prince Charming.

00:55:45.384 --> 00:55:48.344
And he looks at you
and it's nighttime.

00:55:48.512 --> 00:55:51.139
And he smiles at you
and kisses you.

00:55:51.306 --> 00:55:54.142
Yeah, I know that story.

00:55:54.309 --> 00:55:55.643
And then...

00:55:55.811 --> 00:55:57.353
Then you wake up,

00:55:57.813 --> 00:55:59.814
and it's daylight,

00:55:59.982 --> 00:56:01.858
and you look at him.

00:56:03.402 --> 00:56:06.279
It's just when you work all day,
trying to perfect yourself

00:56:06.447 --> 00:56:08.948
and create something meaningful,
you expect support.

00:56:09.116 --> 00:56:12.326
Does anyone say, "Did you have a
good shoot? "Or "How's the editing?"

00:56:12.494 --> 00:56:14.287
Or anything of that nature?

00:56:14.455 --> 00:56:16.164
I guess not.

00:56:16.331 --> 00:56:17.874
No.

00:56:18.834 --> 00:56:22.336
I mean, the point is,

00:56:23.213 --> 00:56:25.715
Larry is a nice guy, you know,

00:56:25.883 --> 00:56:28.926
but he just doesn't know
a thing about television.

00:56:30.429 --> 00:56:32.180
Let's get out of here.

00:56:34.475 --> 00:56:37.101
Mrs. Maretto bought me
lots of nice stuff,

00:56:37.269 --> 00:56:40.521
like this ankle bracelet,
for instance.

00:56:42.149 --> 00:56:44.567
And a bottle
of real expensive perfume.

00:56:44.735 --> 00:56:46.152
A "scent," she called it,

00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:49.322
which I'm saving
for a special occasion.

00:56:49.490 --> 00:56:52.658
No one ever really
bought me stuff before

00:56:52.826 --> 00:56:56.037
except my mom's boyfriend,
Chester,

00:56:56.205 --> 00:56:58.331
who got me for my birthday
when I was 12,

00:56:58.499 --> 00:57:02.752
a bottle of something called
Garden of Eden body oil,

00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:06.047
which he said would be good
for my skin

00:57:06.215 --> 00:57:10.885
and which he wanted
to show me how to use,

00:57:11.053 --> 00:57:12.970
which I let him do.

00:57:13.138 --> 00:57:15.348
He did other things for a while.

00:57:15.516 --> 00:57:17.600
When I was 13,
I got this mild case of T.B.

00:57:17.768 --> 00:57:20.436
And he wasn't so interested
any more.

00:57:22.272 --> 00:57:24.524
You just have to block that
out of your memory,

00:57:24.691 --> 00:57:27.527
like some scary TV movie
where you change the channel

00:57:27.694 --> 00:57:30.113
and you pretend
like it never happened.

00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.365
The whole thing
will be like a bad dream.

00:57:32.533 --> 00:57:37.703
Yeah, anyway, my mom keeps
this gun hidden up in her closet

00:57:37.871 --> 00:57:40.623
because of all
the sex-fiend killers around.

00:57:40.791 --> 00:57:44.043
And one time, I told him
if he didn't leave me alone,

00:57:44.211 --> 00:57:47.004
I'd get it out
and I'd shoot him.

00:57:49.466 --> 00:57:52.885
I mean, he didn't give me
any more trouble or anything.

00:57:54.721 --> 00:57:58.141
Now I guess I wish
I hadn't told her all that

00:57:58.308 --> 00:58:01.686
because maybe it put some ideas
in her mind or something.

00:58:01.854 --> 00:58:03.146
I don't know.

00:58:03.313 --> 00:58:07.859
I just told her stuff I'd never told
anyone, because she was my friend.

00:58:08.026 --> 00:58:10.069
She was my only real friend.

00:58:16.577 --> 00:58:18.077
Where are you going?

00:58:18.579 --> 00:58:20.329
Oh, I told you, hon.

00:58:20.497 --> 00:58:22.957
Pop and I are going up
to the trade show in Freeport.

00:58:23.125 --> 00:58:25.251
We're leaving from the restaurant.
I told you.

00:58:25.419 --> 00:58:26.419
Yeah. Right. Right.

00:58:26.587 --> 00:58:29.589
Look, are you gonna be okay?
Sure.

00:58:30.591 --> 00:58:33.801
Suze, will you think about
what we talked about?

00:58:34.761 --> 00:58:36.971
I have been.

00:58:37.139 --> 00:58:39.265
That's great, hon,
because I believe

00:58:39.433 --> 00:58:41.934
I got something here
that's really gonna work.

00:58:42.102 --> 00:58:44.770
And you know who I want
with me by my side, don't you?

00:58:45.939 --> 00:58:49.108
Who?
Who? My best girl, that's who.

00:58:49.276 --> 00:58:51.527
My beautiful little lady.

00:58:52.946 --> 00:58:55.781
Look, I left the phone
number on the fridge.

00:58:55.949 --> 00:58:57.909
And don't forget
to lock the garage.

00:58:58.076 --> 00:58:59.577
Bye.

00:59:40.661 --> 00:59:42.161
Hi.

00:59:44.665 --> 00:59:46.374
You know what I'm thinking, Larry?

00:59:46.541 --> 00:59:49.877
Why don't we get some artificial
plants for the restaurant?

00:59:50.963 --> 00:59:52.672
Good idea.

00:59:52.839 --> 00:59:54.382
We don't have to water them.

00:59:54.549 --> 00:59:55.967
Exactly.

01:00:04.685 --> 01:00:06.435
Come on, Liddy.

01:00:08.188 --> 01:00:09.939
I can't do this, Mrs. Maretto.

01:00:10.107 --> 01:00:11.983
Yeah, of course you can.

01:00:12.150 --> 01:00:15.194
You just have to let your natural
sense of rhythm take over.

01:00:17.072 --> 01:00:18.698
I don't think I have one of those.

01:00:18.865 --> 01:00:22.201
- Yeah, she really stinks at this.
- Here.

01:00:22.369 --> 01:00:24.745
Watch me. Watch me.

01:00:24.913 --> 01:00:26.872
Watch my hips.

01:00:27.958 --> 01:00:29.542
You can do that.

01:00:29.710 --> 01:00:30.710
Can't you?

01:00:32.921 --> 01:00:35.381
- I can't do that.
- Of course you can.

01:00:35.549 --> 01:00:39.135
You just have to move.
Move your body.

01:00:40.387 --> 01:00:42.138
Come on.

01:00:46.560 --> 01:00:49.729
Come on. Relax.

01:00:49.980 --> 01:00:51.397
Relax.
You're like a stick.

01:00:51.565 --> 01:00:54.608
I can't do this.
Move your hips.

01:00:54.776 --> 01:01:00.114
No, I gotta sit down. This is...
This is making me feel all funny.

01:01:02.743 --> 01:01:04.660
Come on, James.

01:01:05.787 --> 01:01:07.121
Heh.

01:01:07.581 --> 01:01:09.081
Come on.

01:01:10.375 --> 01:01:11.542
Over here.

01:01:22.471 --> 01:01:24.263
Come on, James.

01:01:24.431 --> 01:01:25.598
I'm dancing.

01:01:30.312 --> 01:01:31.812
Liddy?

01:01:31.980 --> 01:01:33.022
Yeah?

01:01:33.190 --> 01:01:34.857
Would you do me
an enormous favor?

01:01:35.025 --> 01:01:36.108
Sure. What?

01:01:36.276 --> 01:01:38.778
Walter hasn't been out for hours.

01:01:38.945 --> 01:01:41.739
Would you take him
for a walk around the block?

01:01:44.868 --> 01:01:48.454
- Yeah. Sure.
- I'm gonna go upstairs.

01:01:48.622 --> 01:01:50.247
Take my sweater off.

01:01:50.916 --> 01:01:54.251
It's really hot in here.
Yeah.

01:01:57.214 --> 01:01:59.465
When you come back,
I'll fix us something to eat.

01:01:59.633 --> 01:02:01.175
Okay.

01:02:01.343 --> 01:02:02.593
Oh, and, Liddy?

01:02:02.761 --> 01:02:06.347
Don't let him come back until
he's done his business, okay?

01:02:06.515 --> 01:02:08.599
Like a good little boy.

01:02:30.122 --> 01:02:31.831
I'm back.

01:02:38.422 --> 01:02:39.839
Hello?

01:02:48.682 --> 01:02:51.016
I have to use the bathroom.

01:03:50.285 --> 01:03:51.952
Oh, yeah.

01:03:53.455 --> 01:03:56.582
It was like I was
in one of those...

01:03:56.750 --> 01:03:58.542
Okay, you know
those great movies

01:03:58.710 --> 01:04:01.670
where everyone is coming out
of their graves?

01:04:01.838 --> 01:04:04.048
With, like,
half their faces missing

01:04:04.216 --> 01:04:09.261
and their eyes hanging out
and their lips falling off?

01:04:09.429 --> 01:04:10.596
You know those?

01:04:10.764 --> 01:04:12.097
I think I'll get sick.

01:04:12.265 --> 01:04:14.350
And they're all walking around,

01:04:14.935 --> 01:04:17.770
like, real slow like this.

01:04:17.938 --> 01:04:21.398
They're all walking like this
and kind of grunting.

01:04:24.152 --> 01:04:25.277
Come on, now.

01:04:25.445 --> 01:04:26.654
Oh, this will be great.

01:04:26.821 --> 01:04:29.114
And they're all looking
for the same thing.

01:04:29.950 --> 01:04:32.076
For regular live people,
to eat their flesh

01:04:32.244 --> 01:04:33.827
and drink their blood and all.

01:04:33.995 --> 01:04:37.122
Come on, James.
Smile. Smile.

01:04:44.756 --> 01:04:46.966
And they can't help themselves

01:04:47.133 --> 01:04:49.218
because they're dead

01:04:49.386 --> 01:04:51.637
and that's just what happens.

01:04:52.430 --> 01:04:55.057
That's what I felt like.

01:04:56.434 --> 01:04:58.644
You gotta tell me
what's wrong, please.

01:05:00.272 --> 01:05:03.983
James, do you think about me
when we're not together?

01:05:04.150 --> 01:05:06.402
All I do is think about you.

01:05:08.029 --> 01:05:11.824
When I'm not with you,
I'm not alive.

01:05:12.909 --> 01:05:14.285
Mrs. Maretto,

01:05:14.995 --> 01:05:18.038
you're the best thing
that ever happened to me.

01:05:18.623 --> 01:05:21.584
I can't do this any more.
What?

01:05:21.751 --> 01:05:26.338
I can't go home every night
and have him try to touch me.

01:05:26.506 --> 01:05:29.842
And all the time
I'm just thinking about you.

01:05:30.176 --> 01:05:31.844
About us.

01:05:32.971 --> 01:05:36.932
And when I push him away,
he has this temper.

01:05:37.100 --> 01:05:38.767
What do you mean?

01:05:39.060 --> 01:05:41.437
Does he hurt you?

01:05:42.105 --> 01:05:43.397
Oh.

01:05:43.565 --> 01:05:46.108
There were these women,
you know,

01:05:46.276 --> 01:05:49.695
on The Sally Jesse Raphael Show
the other day.

01:05:50.363 --> 01:05:53.574
They were all wearing disguises
so their husbands couldn't find them.

01:05:53.742 --> 01:05:57.244
They were living in shelters, and
I thought I could live in one of them.

01:05:57.412 --> 01:06:00.539
If they let me bring Walter with me,
I could live in one of them.

01:06:00.707 --> 01:06:04.710
Some place in another state
where no one even knows who I am.

01:06:04.878 --> 01:06:09.048
Look. Couldn't you
just get a divorce?

01:06:09.215 --> 01:06:12.801
And then...
But then he would get the condo.

01:06:13.053 --> 01:06:16.930
And he'd get the car.
And he'd take Walter from me.

01:06:17.098 --> 01:06:19.475
He'd take Walter.
Listen.

01:06:19.643 --> 01:06:22.728
I know you think
I'm just a kid, but...

01:06:23.730 --> 01:06:26.732
I could never do
anything bad to you

01:06:27.275 --> 01:06:30.527
or ever hurt you.

01:06:30.695 --> 01:06:33.697
A guy that does that
to someone like you

01:06:34.240 --> 01:06:36.700
doesn't deserve to live.

01:06:36.868 --> 01:06:38.911
That's the truth.
He doesn't deserve to live.

01:06:40.580 --> 01:06:43.916
No. I suppose you're right.

01:06:44.751 --> 01:06:46.585
He doesn't.

01:06:49.047 --> 01:06:52.716
Oh, fuck! I love this song!

01:06:52.884 --> 01:06:55.177
Don't you love this song?

01:06:55.345 --> 01:06:56.887
I don't know.

01:07:01.434 --> 01:07:02.851
Whoo!

01:07:38.972 --> 01:07:41.473
Mrs. Maretto used to let me
drive around in her car

01:07:41.641 --> 01:07:44.143
even though I didn't even have
a learner's permit.

01:07:44.310 --> 01:07:46.812
Because she said when
she'd be living in California

01:07:46.980 --> 01:07:49.773
and doing her TV shows,
she'd make me her assistant,

01:07:49.941 --> 01:07:52.443
and I'd have to drive her
around places

01:07:52.610 --> 01:07:55.988
and help her answer
her personal fan mail.

01:07:57.949 --> 01:08:00.492
I guess this is the
most exciting time of my life.

01:08:00.660 --> 01:08:02.745
It was like living
in a really great movie,

01:08:02.912 --> 01:08:04.997
except it was kind of X-rated

01:08:05.165 --> 01:08:07.750
on account of all the sex stuff,
you know?

01:08:16.509 --> 01:08:18.552
Hey. Oh. Don't stop.

01:08:18.720 --> 01:08:20.888
You didn't answer my question.

01:08:21.055 --> 01:08:22.806
What question was that?

01:08:22.974 --> 01:08:25.017
Did you talk to Russell?

01:08:25.185 --> 01:08:27.686
Uh... Yeah, I did.

01:08:27.854 --> 01:08:30.147
Well, what did he say?

01:08:30.315 --> 01:08:32.274
He wants a thousand dollars.

01:08:33.026 --> 01:08:36.945
Is that all?
And some CDs.

01:08:41.075 --> 01:08:43.619
Oh, come on.
Did you get the gun?

01:08:43.787 --> 01:08:45.913
No, not yet.

01:08:46.080 --> 01:08:47.915
Why not?

01:08:48.500 --> 01:08:51.543
I don't know. I guess I thought
you'd ask Lydia or...

01:08:51.711 --> 01:08:53.921
I can't ask Liddy.
You have to ask Liddy.

01:08:54.088 --> 01:08:55.881
Don't you understand?

01:08:57.217 --> 01:08:59.510
I guess so, but I thought...

01:08:59.677 --> 01:09:02.721
Do you want me to keep
doing what I was doing?

01:09:02.889 --> 01:09:06.183
Yeah, please.
Okay.

01:09:06.351 --> 01:09:09.728
Then you have to do
what you have to do.

01:09:16.569 --> 01:09:18.195
Oh, God.

01:09:18.363 --> 01:09:21.406
So when will it happen?
Ow. Oh, come on. Please don't...

01:09:21.574 --> 01:09:25.869
I just want to know when.
Let's just do this.

01:09:26.037 --> 01:09:27.788
I don't know.

01:09:27.956 --> 01:09:29.498
Whenever. Jesus.
Oh.

01:09:31.584 --> 01:09:34.837
Look, if you don't know, I guess
I'll have to find somebody who does.

01:09:35.004 --> 01:09:38.507
Oh. Mrs. Maretto,
you have to understand. This...

01:09:38.675 --> 01:09:40.551
No. I think I do understand.

01:09:40.718 --> 01:09:44.221
Obviously you're not the mature
individual that I thought you were.

01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:49.101
No.

01:09:49.602 --> 01:09:52.396
Actually, I just had a thought.

01:09:52.564 --> 01:09:54.940
Maybe a better way to go
on the whole thing.

01:09:55.108 --> 01:09:56.608
What's that?

01:09:56.776 --> 01:09:58.277
Russell.

01:09:58.444 --> 01:10:00.195
What about him?

01:10:01.656 --> 01:10:05.576
Russell's enough of a man
to take charge of the situation.

01:10:05.743 --> 01:10:08.745
Well...
He looks at me in a certain way.

01:10:10.123 --> 01:10:13.125
I think he'd be very appreciative
of what I could do for him.

01:10:15.712 --> 01:10:17.629
What do you think?

01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:23.427
I think we could probably do it
next week.

01:10:23.970 --> 01:10:25.554
Is that soon enough?

01:10:26.806 --> 01:10:28.807
Would you really do that for me,
James?

01:10:29.475 --> 01:10:31.393
Anything.

01:10:33.438 --> 01:10:35.981
And then we can be together.

01:10:36.149 --> 01:10:38.609
And you can sleep over.

01:10:38.943 --> 01:10:41.904
And we could do
anything we wanna do.

01:10:42.071 --> 01:10:45.115
Anything?
Yeah.

01:10:52.999 --> 01:10:54.625
Anything.

01:10:59.631 --> 01:11:01.256
Got it?
Yeah, Angela, stand back.

01:11:01.424 --> 01:11:03.342
Tell me if it's straight.

01:11:03.927 --> 01:11:06.470
Oh. It looks great.

01:12:19.252 --> 01:12:21.253
Hey, Walter.

01:12:29.887 --> 01:12:31.096
Five.

01:12:33.641 --> 01:12:35.350
Walter.

01:12:36.436 --> 01:12:38.270
Four.

01:12:41.274 --> 01:12:43.025
Come on, boy.

01:12:43.484 --> 01:12:44.943
Let's go for a walk.

01:12:45.111 --> 01:12:46.111
Three.

01:12:48.114 --> 01:12:49.823
Walter.

01:12:54.579 --> 01:12:55.829
Two.

01:12:56.956 --> 01:12:58.081
One.

01:13:00.793 --> 01:13:01.835
Hi, everybody.

01:13:02.003 --> 01:13:04.463
- This is Suzanne Stone, live.
- What do you want?

01:13:04.630 --> 01:13:06.089
Don't fucking move.

01:13:06.257 --> 01:13:08.091
Just take whatever you want
and get out.

01:13:08.259 --> 01:13:10.677
Come on, Jimmy. Now.
Wait.

01:13:12.180 --> 01:13:14.056
Just wait.

01:13:14.223 --> 01:13:18.602
Okay, take the watch. It's a Rolex.
I know it's a fucking Rolex.

01:13:18.770 --> 01:13:22.147
Think it's the first time I've seen a
Rolex? Give me your fucking chain.

01:13:22.315 --> 01:13:24.274
Hey.
Give me your chain.

01:13:28.780 --> 01:13:32.157
You've probably noticed
it's been another beautiful evening

01:13:32.325 --> 01:13:34.159
with a slight chill in the air

01:13:34.327 --> 01:13:38.205
and those autumn temperatures
right about where they should be.

01:13:38.831 --> 01:13:40.290
Now, Jim. Now. Do it.

01:13:40.500 --> 01:13:43.668
No, no. No, please.
No, wait. Give me your ring.

01:13:43.836 --> 01:13:45.295
- My ring?
- Give it to me.

01:13:45.463 --> 01:13:47.631
Look, man, I can't give you my ring.

01:13:47.799 --> 01:13:49.674
My wife will kill me, man.

01:13:49.842 --> 01:13:52.469
She'd kill you?
Suzanne would kill you?

01:13:52.637 --> 01:13:54.012
Hey, you know my wife?

01:13:54.180 --> 01:13:55.222
The good news is...

01:13:55.389 --> 01:13:57.516
- Oh!
- Jimmy, now. Do it.

01:13:58.184 --> 01:13:59.851
Now. Fucking now, asshole. Do it.

01:14:02.021 --> 01:14:03.730
God, forgive me.

01:14:09.695 --> 01:14:12.614
So for the next few days,
it should be just about perfect

01:14:12.782 --> 01:14:14.366
for boat season weather.

01:14:14.534 --> 01:14:17.869
Well, that's about it for tonight.
I'm Suzanne Stone saying...

01:14:18.037 --> 01:14:22.207
I'll see you tomorrow, rain or shine.

01:14:31.384 --> 01:14:35.137
And if you'll allow me,
just a personal note.

01:14:35.304 --> 01:14:39.349
Um, a special greeting
to my husband, Larry,

01:14:39.517 --> 01:14:42.102
on this, our first anniversary.

01:14:43.104 --> 01:14:44.896
Good night, honey.

01:14:47.275 --> 01:14:49.109
Come on.

01:15:07.086 --> 01:15:08.712
Hello.

01:15:13.801 --> 01:15:15.927
Oh, God!

01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:21.766
Folks, that's it.

01:15:32.987 --> 01:15:34.446
Hello.

01:15:35.781 --> 01:15:37.324
Anything?

01:15:37.491 --> 01:15:39.826
- We got a little dirt.
- Who knows?

01:15:40.912 --> 01:15:43.496
And this.
What?

01:15:43.664 --> 01:15:45.332
I don't know.

01:15:47.168 --> 01:15:50.295
Feels like pieces of shell.

01:15:50.463 --> 01:15:52.631
- Janice Maretto?
- Yeah, that's me.

01:15:52.798 --> 01:15:54.799
Telephone call at the desk.
Oh, okay.

01:15:57.929 --> 01:15:59.512
Hello.

01:16:01.766 --> 01:16:03.225
What?

01:16:05.686 --> 01:16:07.312
Oh.

01:16:09.482 --> 01:16:11.233
Thank you.

01:16:18.991 --> 01:16:20.659
Hey, wake up.

01:16:20.826 --> 01:16:22.911
We're open right now.

01:16:23.079 --> 01:16:25.997
All Saturday night
around the clock.

01:16:26.874 --> 01:16:28.708
Was there an incident
at the restaurant?

01:16:28.876 --> 01:16:30.627
Some guy came in
and drink too much

01:16:30.795 --> 01:16:33.338
or said something to him?
No.

01:16:33.506 --> 01:16:36.800
Five-piece, all-wood dinettes
in Colonial, oak and white.

01:16:36.968 --> 01:16:38.802
Your choice, 297.

01:16:38.970 --> 01:16:43.014
Mattress, box, frame, 297.

01:16:43.182 --> 01:16:46.184
- That's Tom Peterson.
- And Gloria too.

01:16:46.352 --> 01:16:50.355
And that concludes
our broadcast day at WWEN.

01:16:50.523 --> 01:16:53.316
Your community access station
serving Little Hope

01:16:53.484 --> 01:16:56.111
and the greater
Hope County area.

01:17:45.077 --> 01:17:47.912
You don't have to talk to those
people if you don't want to.

01:18:36.921 --> 01:18:39.005
That's what surprised me.

01:18:39.173 --> 01:18:42.550
That he didn't put up
much of a fight.

01:18:42.718 --> 01:18:45.470
I mean, for a guy
with such a mean temper.

01:18:47.890 --> 01:18:51.017
When I was standing in the hall

01:18:51.310 --> 01:18:53.353
with the gun,

01:18:53.521 --> 01:18:55.814
I was trying to keep
from being too nervous

01:18:55.981 --> 01:18:58.608
by thinking about Mrs. Maretto

01:18:58.776 --> 01:19:01.403
and how we'd be together
for the rest of our lives.

01:19:02.780 --> 01:19:04.322
Let us take leave of our brother.

01:19:04.490 --> 01:19:08.660
Living in California,
Florida, somewhere,

01:19:08.828 --> 01:19:13.331
lying around on beaches
where everyone goes topless

01:19:13.499 --> 01:19:14.999
and working on her TV show.

01:19:15.167 --> 01:19:18.294
When the love of Christ,
which conquers all things,

01:19:18.462 --> 01:19:21.089
destroys even death itself.

01:19:21.757 --> 01:19:23.466
Amen.

01:20:06.844 --> 01:20:08.636
I just knew.

01:20:09.054 --> 01:20:12.140
I don't know why I knew.
I just... I just knew.

01:20:12.308 --> 01:20:17.270
It was like a light just went off
in my head, and I knew she'd...

01:20:22.568 --> 01:20:24.944
I knew she just got rid of him.

01:20:25.112 --> 01:20:27.405
Just got in her way.

01:20:30.910 --> 01:20:32.911
Anyway, um...

01:20:33.078 --> 01:20:34.579
So, um...

01:20:35.080 --> 01:20:39.751
Yeah, and then I didn't see her again.
That was the last time I saw her.

01:20:39.919 --> 01:20:41.544
Suzanne.

01:20:41.712 --> 01:20:43.671
I'm sorry. Could we...?

01:20:43.839 --> 01:20:46.132
Could we stop for a second?

01:20:56.268 --> 01:20:59.062
What do you want, Liddy?
Just to talk.

01:20:59.813 --> 01:21:03.358
Look, I'm really busy right now.
What do you want to talk about?

01:21:03.526 --> 01:21:06.236
What we're gonna do.
We?

01:21:06.403 --> 01:21:08.404
You and me and Jimmy.

01:21:08.572 --> 01:21:11.491
I'm scared.
There's nothing to be scared about.

01:21:11.659 --> 01:21:14.536
You and I and Jimmy are gonna
stay miles away from each other.

01:21:14.703 --> 01:21:17.455
That's what we're gonna do.
Well, he's here.

01:21:17.623 --> 01:21:19.999
Here? Shit, where?

01:21:20.167 --> 01:21:22.293
Across the street.

01:21:24.713 --> 01:21:27.298
Jesus Christ. Get in here.

01:21:27.466 --> 01:21:29.008
Get in here quick.

01:21:30.094 --> 01:21:33.721
Now, you listen to me.
You tell James to stay away, all right?

01:21:33.889 --> 01:21:37.308
What is the matter with you people?
Don't you watch Mystery Theater?

01:21:38.477 --> 01:21:41.437
He says that he needs to see you
and that he's dying of love.

01:21:42.898 --> 01:21:44.274
Tell him to call a doctor.

01:21:44.441 --> 01:21:47.026
And Russell wants
his money and his CDs.

01:21:47.194 --> 01:21:50.697
Oh. Really? You tell Russell
if he doesn't keep his mouth shut,

01:21:50.864 --> 01:21:53.491
he's gonna be playing his CDs
in the gas chamber.

01:21:53.659 --> 01:21:56.327
Suzanne.
What else? What do you want?

01:21:56.495 --> 01:22:00.498
Just to be like before,
like we were.

01:22:00.666 --> 01:22:02.709
Lydia, we can't be like we were.

01:22:02.876 --> 01:22:06.337
We have to forget
we ever knew each other.

01:22:07.131 --> 01:22:09.340
Go on, get out of here.

01:22:10.843 --> 01:22:13.261
What about the TV show
in California and everything?

01:22:13.429 --> 01:22:16.639
Oh. Jesus, Liddy. Get real.

01:22:17.182 --> 01:22:18.683
God.

01:22:20.102 --> 01:22:23.021
What happened?
What did she say?

01:22:26.317 --> 01:22:28.693
Did you tell her I love her?
Yes, I did.

01:22:28.861 --> 01:22:32.363
She said you were sick
and you needed to see a doctor.

01:22:39.371 --> 01:22:42.123
Ed. Ed.

01:22:42.958 --> 01:22:44.584
Hello, Suzanne.

01:22:46.587 --> 01:22:47.670
Look...
How's it going?

01:22:47.838 --> 01:22:52.175
Ed, I'm real unhappy I haven't been able
to give you an exclusive on everything.

01:22:52.343 --> 01:22:53.384
Pardon?
I mean...

01:22:53.552 --> 01:22:56.387
There's all these news markets
just clamoring for attention

01:22:56.555 --> 01:22:59.390
and I have to consider
future possibilities.

01:22:59.558 --> 01:23:01.643
Of course. You know,
I understand absolutely.

01:23:01.810 --> 01:23:04.228
Good. Good.
Ed, I need to collect my tapes.

01:23:04.396 --> 01:23:07.065
With the publicity, I've decided
to finish my documentary...

01:23:07.232 --> 01:23:09.067
Well, there's gonna be
a slight problem.

01:23:09.234 --> 01:23:12.028
Problem?
The cops took them.

01:23:12.196 --> 01:23:15.073
What do you mean?
They came and they took them away.

01:23:15.240 --> 01:23:16.366
Why would they do that?

01:23:16.533 --> 01:23:20.036
They said it was standard procedure.
But those tapes belong to me!

01:23:20.204 --> 01:23:23.498
Well, technically speaking, Suzanne,
those tapes actually belong to us.

01:23:23.666 --> 01:23:27.377
I mean, to the station,
until such time...

01:23:27.544 --> 01:23:31.631
I'll show you the section that piqued
the cops' interest, you might say.

01:23:32.800 --> 01:23:36.135
Today we're talking about
sexually transmitted diseases

01:23:36.303 --> 01:23:38.930
and teenage attitudes
toward them.

01:23:39.098 --> 01:23:42.141
Would anyone like to start it off?

01:23:42.309 --> 01:23:44.102
Personally, I'm against them.

01:23:46.939 --> 01:23:48.690
Let's see if we can be
more specific.

01:23:48.857 --> 01:23:51.442
What do you think of
when I say the word "AIDS"?

01:23:51.610 --> 01:23:53.027
- Queers.
- Perversion.

01:23:53.195 --> 01:23:54.612
The old Hershey highway.

01:23:56.156 --> 01:23:58.282
Settle down, children.

01:23:58.450 --> 01:23:59.450
What about you, Liddy?

01:23:59.618 --> 01:24:02.412
Supposing you were in a sexual
relationship with a student.

01:24:02.579 --> 01:24:05.373
Would you expect that person
to wear a condom?

01:24:05.541 --> 01:24:07.333
I don't know. I mean...

01:24:08.794 --> 01:24:12.463
I guess it would depend on, you
know, what kind of person he was.

01:24:12.631 --> 01:24:14.924
Yeah, a blind person.

01:24:19.638 --> 01:24:21.097
How about you, James?

01:24:21.265 --> 01:24:23.975
Are you personally concerned
about AIDS?

01:24:24.476 --> 01:24:26.102
Oh, um...

01:24:26.270 --> 01:24:28.980
Well, in my present situation...

01:24:29.148 --> 01:24:32.608
Well, in the relationship
I got going,

01:24:32.776 --> 01:24:35.111
I don't worry
about that type of thing.

01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:37.321
She's not that kind of person.

01:24:37.489 --> 01:24:40.908
She's very clean.

01:24:52.504 --> 01:24:55.131
That's the piece Geraldo used
with some minor editing.

01:24:55.299 --> 01:24:58.384
And it was on First Edition
and American Justice.

01:24:58.552 --> 01:25:02.722
We made a few bucks on this one,
and got a nice credit.

01:25:02.890 --> 01:25:05.099
- In the Holy Spirit,
I want you to bow down...

01:25:05.267 --> 01:25:06.684
Arms straight up.

01:25:06.852 --> 01:25:10.104
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you for my life.

01:25:10.272 --> 01:25:15.234
Think a little bit about your life.
Think about what you can part with.

01:25:15.402 --> 01:25:18.488
A dollar? Ten dollars?
A hundred dollars?

01:25:18.655 --> 01:25:21.741
How important is Jesus
in your life?

01:26:09.748 --> 01:26:11.749
As you can imagine,

01:26:13.043 --> 01:26:16.295
I was shocked
beyond comprehension.

01:26:17.339 --> 01:26:20.883
I mean, to think that these
disadvantaged youngsters

01:26:21.051 --> 01:26:24.428
who I had taken under my wing
and spent my time with

01:26:24.596 --> 01:26:26.973
and who would only stand
to ultimately benefit

01:26:27.140 --> 01:26:29.642
from my media savvy...

01:26:30.435 --> 01:26:34.981
To think that they might be
responsible for this heinous crime?

01:26:35.732 --> 01:26:38.568
It simply boggles one
with disbelief.

01:26:42.364 --> 01:26:43.781
Of course, I realized,

01:26:43.949 --> 01:26:45.908
and I hope
this doesn't sound callous,

01:26:46.076 --> 01:26:49.745
that the upside to all this,
assuming justice prevailed,

01:26:49.913 --> 01:26:53.791
is that I would have
an extremely marketable commodity.

01:26:53.959 --> 01:26:56.460
Something that even PBS
would take an interest in.

01:26:56.628 --> 01:26:58.337
Which would mean
a smaller audience,

01:26:58.505 --> 01:27:00.965
but a much larger prestige factor.

01:27:01.133 --> 01:27:04.260
- Want to tell us about it?
- I got nothing to tell.

01:27:04.428 --> 01:27:06.304
Your friend
Russell told us plenty.

01:27:06.471 --> 01:27:07.513
Like what?

01:27:07.681 --> 01:27:09.765
He said your dick
was bigger than your brain.

01:27:09.933 --> 01:27:13.311
Heh, heh. Oh, yeah?
He really said that?

01:27:13.478 --> 01:27:16.022
I don't think he meant it
as a compliment.

01:27:16.189 --> 01:27:18.024
Fucking amateurs.

01:27:18.734 --> 01:27:22.403
Who?
Listen, as career criminals,

01:27:22.571 --> 01:27:25.239
you guys flunk out of kindergarten.

01:27:25.407 --> 01:27:27.533
Your prints are on the gun.

01:27:27.701 --> 01:27:30.661
Your pal left a trail of clam shells
all over the murder scene.

01:27:30.829 --> 01:27:33.205
You boys did everything
but leave a business card.

01:27:33.373 --> 01:27:36.167
There's Larry Maretto's blood
all over those shoes you wore.

01:27:36.335 --> 01:27:39.170
Yeah.
And pieces of Larry's brains.

01:27:41.798 --> 01:27:45.092
- He used to beat her up all the time.
Uh-huh.

01:27:45.260 --> 01:27:48.804
He said he was gonna kill her.
I'm sure he did.

01:27:49.514 --> 01:27:52.308
We were going to California
because

01:27:52.476 --> 01:27:56.228
she said I had real potential
in TV because of my voice.

01:27:56.396 --> 01:27:59.065
- Doing what with your voice?
- Sports.

01:27:59.232 --> 01:28:01.525
Like being a sports announcer.

01:28:01.693 --> 01:28:03.319
So when did you
start banging her?

01:28:03.487 --> 01:28:06.697
- It wasn't like that.
- What was it like?

01:28:10.202 --> 01:28:12.119
It was just...

01:28:12.913 --> 01:28:14.914
We were...

01:28:15.749 --> 01:28:17.333
You were what?

01:28:17.501 --> 01:28:19.377
In love.

01:28:25.467 --> 01:28:27.718
We were in love.

01:28:29.304 --> 01:28:33.557
How many times? How many times
did you do it, you and Mrs. Maretto?

01:28:36.019 --> 01:28:37.895
I don't know.

01:28:38.855 --> 01:28:41.357
- Lots, I guess.
- Where?

01:28:41.525 --> 01:28:44.443
In her bed?
In her and her dead husband's bed?

01:28:45.904 --> 01:28:47.822
Yeah, sometimes.

01:28:47.990 --> 01:28:49.949
Where else?

01:28:53.036 --> 01:28:54.620
In her car.

01:28:55.706 --> 01:28:58.624
In her car?
Yeah.

01:28:58.792 --> 01:29:00.459
And once at school.

01:29:00.627 --> 01:29:03.129
Jesus Christ. At school, huh?

01:29:03.296 --> 01:29:06.674
Yeah. In the back of the gym.

01:29:06.842 --> 01:29:13.139
And once late at night at the station
where she does her weather reports.

01:29:14.433 --> 01:29:18.394
And twice at the motel
on Piedmont.

01:29:18.770 --> 01:29:21.480
Oh, and the back of
Russell's truck. Heh.

01:29:22.733 --> 01:29:27.111
And the movie theater
on Hayworth.

01:29:27.279 --> 01:29:29.613
Oh, a couple times
at her parents' house

01:29:29.781 --> 01:29:32.950
when they were away
on some vacation or something.

01:29:34.119 --> 01:29:35.494
And...

01:29:37.247 --> 01:29:41.167
Also in the field
behind the gas station.

01:29:41.710 --> 01:29:43.335
But, uh...

01:29:44.046 --> 01:29:47.465
Probably where you get your
doughnuts and coffee and stuff.

01:29:47.632 --> 01:29:50.301
It's close.

01:29:52.304 --> 01:29:53.804
Suzanne?

01:30:10.197 --> 01:30:11.989
Hi, Liddy.

01:30:13.075 --> 01:30:15.993
Is it my imagination,
or is that diet working, huh?

01:30:16.161 --> 01:30:18.704
You lost a few pounds
in there? Ha-ha-ha.

01:30:20.165 --> 01:30:24.043
I don't know. I haven't
been eating much lately.

01:30:24.503 --> 01:30:27.421
What's this
about talking to the police?

01:30:27.589 --> 01:30:32.051
I just figured that Russell
would tell them everything, so...

01:30:32.469 --> 01:30:35.304
Look. No one's gonna believe
anything Russell or Jimmy say.

01:30:35.472 --> 01:30:37.223
They're just a couple of punks.

01:30:37.390 --> 01:30:40.726
They wouldn't be in this deep shit
if they kept their mouths shut.

01:30:40.894 --> 01:30:42.937
There's no evidence
that we're involved.

01:30:43.105 --> 01:30:44.939
I wasn't anywhere
near the house.

01:30:45.107 --> 01:30:49.151
And if they did find out anything, you
know who'd be in trouble, don't you?

01:30:49.319 --> 01:30:51.403
You would. Heh, heh.
What do you mean?

01:30:51.571 --> 01:30:53.364
If you hadn't gotten
your mother's gun,

01:30:53.532 --> 01:30:55.574
Larry would still be alive,
wouldn't he?

01:30:55.742 --> 01:30:59.245
But you asked me to.
No, I didn't.

01:30:59.412 --> 01:31:03.249
No. Jimmy did.
Don't you remember that?

01:31:03.416 --> 01:31:06.377
But you asked Jimmy, and you
told Russell that you'd pay.

01:31:06.545 --> 01:31:09.213
No, I don't think so.

01:31:09.381 --> 01:31:11.048
Now, you listen to me.

01:31:11.216 --> 01:31:14.677
I never gave Russell any money.
Do you understand?

01:31:14.845 --> 01:31:17.888
The way I remember, it was your
plan all along. You and Jimmy.

01:31:18.056 --> 01:31:21.767
You had this fixation about me,
and you were getting a kick out it,

01:31:21.935 --> 01:31:24.353
like people with your
sexual problems tend to do.

01:31:24.521 --> 01:31:29.316
Russell went along with you because Russell
is basically an evil, little fucking scumbag

01:31:29.484 --> 01:31:34.113
who, I'll bet, you were having some kind of
sex with in spite of your lesbian tendencies.

01:31:34.281 --> 01:31:36.240
Wait a minute!
Wait for what?

01:31:36.408 --> 01:31:38.534
I thought we were friends.

01:31:44.040 --> 01:31:45.708
Well, okay, then.

01:31:45.876 --> 01:31:47.209
Hm?

01:31:47.377 --> 01:31:49.920
Can you take some advice
from a friend?

01:31:50.213 --> 01:31:52.047
You keep your fucking mouth shut.

01:31:53.925 --> 01:31:56.719
It's their word against mine.
Who are they?

01:31:56.887 --> 01:31:59.430
A bunch of 16-year-old losers
who grew up in trailers

01:31:59.598 --> 01:32:03.017
whose parents sit around drinking
and screwing their cousins.

01:32:04.728 --> 01:32:07.438
I'm a professional person,
for christ sake.

01:32:07.606 --> 01:32:09.773
I come from a good home.

01:32:10.150 --> 01:32:12.610
Who do you think
a jury would believe?

01:32:22.412 --> 01:32:25.206
Thank God we still have
legal procedures in this country.

01:32:25.373 --> 01:32:28.584
The court has wisely ruled this is
a clear case of police entrapment.

01:32:28.752 --> 01:32:32.504
The tapes were found to be inadmissible
evidence in the courtroom.

01:32:36.801 --> 01:32:39.803
My client was granted bail
in the amount of $200,000,

01:32:39.971 --> 01:32:43.140
which was steep, but at least
she will be able to assist us

01:32:43.308 --> 01:32:45.476
in the preparation of her defense.

01:32:50.273 --> 01:32:53.651
Do you have a statement? You have
something you'd like to say?

01:32:53.818 --> 01:32:56.070
Suzanne. Suzanne,
please say something.

01:32:56.238 --> 01:32:57.988
I just wanna say...

01:33:00.325 --> 01:33:02.618
It's nice to live in a country

01:33:02.786 --> 01:33:05.996
where life, liberty

01:33:06.998 --> 01:33:10.125
and all the rest of it
still stand for something.

01:33:10.293 --> 01:33:12.336
Thank you.
What are you gonna do now?

01:33:12.504 --> 01:33:16.006
I'm gonna go home
and walk my dog. Thank you.

01:33:16.174 --> 01:33:18.008
How are you gonna
address the questions?

01:33:18.176 --> 01:33:20.010
Will you take the stand
in your defense?

01:33:20.178 --> 01:33:23.180
Suzanne, did you get those kids
to kill your husband?

01:33:23.348 --> 01:33:26.016
I loved Larry Maretto

01:33:26.726 --> 01:33:29.687
with all my heart.

01:33:30.188 --> 01:33:32.231
But the fact is...

01:33:34.901 --> 01:33:39.738
my husband had
a serious cocaine problem.

01:33:39.906 --> 01:33:41.365
There.

01:33:41.533 --> 01:33:43.200
I've said it.

01:33:43.535 --> 01:33:44.827
I finally said it.

01:33:44.995 --> 01:33:47.579
I believe that while
I was making my documentary.

01:33:47.747 --> 01:33:49.873
Teens Speak Out,

01:33:50.792 --> 01:33:52.668
James and Russell
became acquainted

01:33:52.836 --> 01:33:55.045
with my husband
without me knowing

01:33:55.213 --> 01:33:57.673
and got him addicted to drugs

01:33:57.841 --> 01:34:00.551
and became his main supplier.

01:34:00.719 --> 01:34:03.929
And when he tried
to break free of them,

01:34:04.097 --> 01:34:05.848
or maybe when he told them

01:34:06.016 --> 01:34:09.101
that he was thinking
of turning them in to the law...

01:34:11.730 --> 01:34:13.272
they killed him.

01:34:14.566 --> 01:34:17.526
I had no intention
of revealing this dark side

01:34:17.694 --> 01:34:20.404
of my late husband's character

01:34:20.947 --> 01:34:25.159
because I wanted to spare
his parents the pain.

01:34:25.869 --> 01:34:28.454
But I just don't have a choice
any more.

01:34:28.621 --> 01:34:31.248
I have to defend myself
with the truth.

01:34:33.501 --> 01:34:35.586
There were times when...

01:34:49.225 --> 01:34:53.604
And I know someday
when my fight is over,

01:34:53.772 --> 01:34:56.440
I will be joining my husband

01:34:56.608 --> 01:35:00.861
in the heaven that
he so fervently believed in.

01:35:01.029 --> 01:35:02.988
And that was the last time that we...

01:35:03.448 --> 01:35:06.658
- The last time we saw her.
- And that...

01:35:07.285 --> 01:35:09.620
That pretty well brings us
up to date.

01:35:09.788 --> 01:35:11.121
Until your phone call,

01:35:11.289 --> 01:35:13.540
which I must say
wasn't entirely unexpected,

01:35:13.708 --> 01:35:17.252
since in the last few days a number
of interesting offers for my story

01:35:17.420 --> 01:35:19.922
have been literally pouring in
from the networks

01:35:20.090 --> 01:35:22.341
and some major movie studios.

01:35:23.426 --> 01:35:26.929
I totally understand why we'll be
keeping this meeting confidential

01:35:27.097 --> 01:35:31.308
until such time as we may come
to a mutually beneficial agreement.

01:35:31.476 --> 01:35:33.477
And I have to admit,

01:35:34.312 --> 01:35:36.271
that I really do enjoy

01:35:36.439 --> 01:35:40.984
this spy-story aspect of our first
rendezvous, if I may call it that.

01:35:41.152 --> 01:35:43.862
Because I think that being
a good investigative reporter

01:35:44.030 --> 01:35:48.325
is very much like
being a kind of secret agent.

01:35:48.493 --> 01:35:50.369
I hope you enjoy
viewing this document,

01:35:50.537 --> 01:35:52.955
which I believe could serve
as the first draft

01:35:53.123 --> 01:35:57.000
that you Hollywood people
are so richly rewarded for.

01:35:57.168 --> 01:36:01.338
Well, I guess that's a wrap.

01:36:21.401 --> 01:36:23.360
Come on, Walter.

01:36:52.474 --> 01:36:54.683
- Suzanne?
- Yes.

01:36:54.851 --> 01:36:57.436
Finally. The famous
Suzanne Maretto.

01:36:57.604 --> 01:37:00.230
Oh.
How nice to meet you.

01:37:01.900 --> 01:37:02.900
Ow. Heh.

01:37:03.067 --> 01:37:05.194
Did you come all the way
from Hollywood?

01:37:05.361 --> 01:37:07.988
I came a long distance to see you.

01:37:08.907 --> 01:37:10.115
Who's this?

01:37:10.283 --> 01:37:11.492
Oh.

01:37:12.535 --> 01:37:14.077
This is Walter.

01:37:14.245 --> 01:37:16.413
Walter. Hi, Walter.

01:37:19.375 --> 01:37:22.586
I don't know why,
but I thought that you'd be older,

01:37:22.921 --> 01:37:25.964
running a big studio
and everything.

01:37:26.132 --> 01:37:27.591
Well, I am older.

01:37:30.261 --> 01:37:33.430
Come on out. I want to
show you something.

01:37:33.598 --> 01:37:35.724
Okay.

01:37:36.851 --> 01:37:38.852
I brought my tape.

01:37:39.020 --> 01:37:42.272
Let's go. Let's go
for a walk. Come on.

01:37:47.278 --> 01:37:48.612
Whoa.

01:37:49.531 --> 01:37:50.989
Where are we going?

01:37:51.157 --> 01:37:52.741
To show you.

01:37:53.284 --> 01:37:54.660
What?

01:37:54.827 --> 01:37:56.245
Whoa.

01:37:57.956 --> 01:38:01.667
It has to do with your story.
It is so funny.

01:38:01.834 --> 01:38:04.002
I don't see why
we have to go here.

01:38:04.170 --> 01:38:05.504
Yeah.

01:38:33.241 --> 01:38:35.117
And this is for you.
Thank you very much.

01:38:35.285 --> 01:38:37.661
You're welcome.
It looks good. Thanks, Mrs. Maretto.

01:38:40.373 --> 01:38:41.832
Maretto's.

01:38:51.676 --> 01:38:53.385
I understand.

01:38:54.887 --> 01:38:56.513
Thank you.

01:39:30.506 --> 01:39:32.049
I'll be here

01:39:32.216 --> 01:39:34.217
every day for life.

01:39:34.385 --> 01:39:38.555
Plus 30 years, if I live that long.

01:39:42.685 --> 01:39:47.064
Russell copped a plea
and got only 16 years.

01:39:47.440 --> 01:39:48.899
I miss him.

01:39:49.067 --> 01:39:50.776
He was my friend.

01:39:51.235 --> 01:39:53.362
And Lydia too. She was okay.

01:39:54.489 --> 01:39:56.490
Mostly Mrs. Maretto.

01:39:58.368 --> 01:40:00.410
And the weird thing is

01:40:00.620 --> 01:40:05.415
now it's hard for me to even
remember what she looked like.

01:40:05.583 --> 01:40:07.042
You know?

01:40:08.086 --> 01:40:10.337
Except when I dream about her,

01:40:11.214 --> 01:40:13.131
which I do every night.

01:40:14.842 --> 01:40:17.552
I dream I'm at a baseball game,

01:40:17.929 --> 01:40:21.014
and I'm way up
in the broadcasting booth.

01:40:21.933 --> 01:40:24.726
And I'm calling all the plays.

01:40:26.270 --> 01:40:28.689
And she's sitting right next to me

01:40:29.190 --> 01:40:33.276
with her hand on my leg,
feeling me up.

01:40:35.780 --> 01:40:38.782
I can hardly wait
to get to sleep at night.

01:40:40.034 --> 01:40:42.953
Suzanne used to say that you're
not really anybody in America

01:40:43.121 --> 01:40:45.455
unless you're on TV.

01:40:45.623 --> 01:40:48.166
Because what's the point
of doing anything worthwhile

01:40:48.334 --> 01:40:51.628
if there's nobody watching?

01:40:52.088 --> 01:40:56.383
So when people are watching,
it makes you a better person.

01:40:57.009 --> 01:41:00.303
So if everybody was on TV
all the time,

01:41:00.471 --> 01:41:02.973
everybody would be better people.

01:41:03.391 --> 01:41:07.144
But if everybody was on TV
all the time,

01:41:07.311 --> 01:41:09.312
there wouldn't be
anybody left to watch.

01:41:09.480 --> 01:41:11.606
That's where I get confused.

01:41:11.774 --> 01:41:14.443
Anyhow, they're flying me
to go on Oprah next weekend.

01:41:14.610 --> 01:41:17.612
I hope she's gonna give me
some diet tips.

01:41:17.780 --> 01:41:19.740
And Phil Donahue called too.

01:41:19.907 --> 01:41:22.659
To tell you the truth,
I'm kind of nervous about that one,

01:41:22.827 --> 01:41:26.288
because I honestly can't follow
what he's saying most of the time.

01:41:26.664 --> 01:41:30.208
There's some others too
that I can't really remember offhand.

01:41:31.002 --> 01:41:35.297
But it's really something when you think
that I'm the one who's gonna be famous.

01:41:35.798 --> 01:41:38.175
Suzanne would die if she knew.

01:41:41.304 --> 01:41:42.345
End sticks.
