00:06:37 ...as if we're already
00:06:40 I pretend that we're the oldest
00:06:42 ...as opposed to what
00:06:44 People who don't know
00:06:47 ...and met in a chat room where
00:06:51 "What will NY152 say today?" I wonder.
00:06:55 I turn on my computer.
00:06:57 I wait impatiently as it connects.
00:07:00 I go online...
00:07:02 ...and my breath catches in my chest
00:07:07 "You've got mail. "
00:07:09 I hear nothing, not even a sound
00:07:13 Just the beat of my own heart.
00:07:15 I have mail...
00:07:17 ...from you.

00:08:40 I wasn't.
00:08:41 I hear nothing. Nothing.
00:08:42 Not a sound on the city streets,

00:08:49 You and Patricia got engaged.
00:08:51 You can tell me.
00:08:52 Engaged?

00:09:16 ...to picket the big bad chain store.
00:09:17 That's out to destroy--

00:09:34 And you know why?
00:09:35 Why?
00:09:36 Because we'll sell them cheap books

00:11:08 I mean cybersex.
00:11:10 Don't do it. The minute you do,
00:11:15 It's not like that.
00:11:18 We just e-mail.
00:11:19 On top of which, I'm thinking of
00:11:23 Out of hand?
00:11:25 Confusing.
00:11:27 But not.
00:11:28 Because it's nothing.
00:11:30 Where'd you meet him?
00:11:31 Listen, I can't even remember.
00:11:39 On my birthday, I wandered

00:11:46 About what?
00:11:48 Books and music, how much
00:11:51 Harmless, harmless.
00:11:53 Meaningless.
00:11:54 Bouquets of sharpened pencils.
00:11:57 Excuse me?
00:11:59 Forget it.
00:12:00 We don't talk about anything personal,
00:12:03 ...or what he does
00:12:06 ...so it'll be easy for me to stop
00:12:11 God. He could be the next person

00:12:15 He could be...
00:12:19 ...George.

00:12:46 I know.
00:12:47 I know. I was really depressed

00:14:28 One mystery store, Sleuth,
00:14:32 ...and a children's bookstore,
00:14:34 Been there forever.
00:14:36 Cecilia's store.
00:14:38 Who's that?
00:14:39 Cecilia kelly.
00:14:41 Lovely woman. I think we might
00:14:45 Or maybe we just exchanged letters.
00:14:48 You wrote her letters?
00:14:50 Mail. It was called mail.
00:14:53 Stamps, envelopes--
00:14:54 You know, I've heard of it.
00:14:55 Cecilia had beautiful penmanship.
00:14:58 She was too young for me...
00:15:01 ...but she was...
00:15:02 ...enchanting.
00:15:04 Enchanting?
00:15:05 Her daughter owns it now.
00:15:08 Too bad for her.
00:15:12 Excuse me, Mr. Fox.

00:15:40 Listen to this:
00:15:41 Every night a truck pulls up
00:15:44 ...and pumps about a ton of flour
00:15:47 Then the air is filled...
00:15:49 ...with white dust
00:15:51 Why is that?
00:15:54 Confession: I have read
00:15:59 I get lost in the language.
00:16:01 ... "thither. "
00:16:02 "Mischance. "
00:16:04 "Felicity. "
00:16:06 I'm always in agony over whether
00:16:09 ...are really going to get together.
00:16:12 Read it.
00:16:13 I know you'll love it.
00:16:16 The whole purpose ofplaces
00:16:18 ...is for people with no
00:16:21 ...to make six decisions

00:16:31 ...et cetera.

00:17:25 ...overstocked and full
00:17:28 But they discount.
00:17:30 But they don't provide any service.
00:17:32 We do.
00:17:34 So really...
00:17:35 ...it's a good development.
00:17:37 You know how in the flower district
00:17:40 ...so you can find whatever you want?
00:17:42 Well...
00:17:43 ...this is going to be
00:17:46 If they don't have it, we do.
00:17:49 And vice versa.
00:17:50 Absolutely.
00:17:55 When you are finished
00:17:57 ...The Shop Around The Corner
00:18:00 ...for reversing the entire course

00:18:07 Thank you. That is so sweet.
00:18:10 Although l--
00:18:11 What?
00:18:12 Wait a minute.
00:18:14 Oh, my gosh...
00:18:15 ...this is amazing.
00:18:17 Listen.
00:18:20 The Olympia Report Deluxe Electric.
00:18:23 Report.
00:18:24 As in gunshot.
00:18:25 -That sound is familiar.
00:18:29 What, that whirring?
00:18:31 The gentle, soothing lullaby...
00:18:33 ...of a piece of machinery so perfect--
00:18:35 I know where I've heard that before.
00:18:39 I needed a backup.
00:18:40 Don't you have another one of these
00:18:42 -I might!
00:18:44 Who cares?
00:18:46 What were you going to say?
00:18:48 -When?
00:18:49 Nothing.
00:18:51 Come on.
00:18:54 I'm just wondering.
00:18:58 I mean, what is it that I do, exactly?
00:19:01 All I really do is--
00:19:02 All you really do...
00:19:04 ...is this incredibly noble thing.
00:19:06 I don't know.
00:19:07 Really, I'm just--
00:19:11 You are a lone reed.
00:19:14 You are a lone...
00:19:17 ...reed...
00:19:18 ...standing...
00:19:20 ...tall...
00:19:21 ...waving boldly...
00:19:24 ...in the corrupt sands...
00:19:26 ...of commerce.
00:19:31 I am a lone reed.
00:19:34 I am a lone reed.
00:19:43 Sometimes I wonder about my life.
00:19:46 I lead a small life.
00:19:48 Well, valuable, but small.
00:19:50 And sometimes I wonder...
00:19:52 ...do I do it because I like it?
00:19:54 Or because I haven't been brave?
00:19:57 So much of what I see reminds me
00:20:01 ...when, shouldn't it be
00:20:04 I don't really want an answer.
00:20:06 Ijust want to send this
00:20:10 So...
00:20:11 ...good night, dear void.

00:20:26 I know you.

00:20:55 Nanny Maureen. I brought her in case
00:20:58 Maureen's getting a divorce.
00:21:01 I'm sorry to hear that.
00:21:02 It's my own fault.
00:21:04 Never marry a man who lies.
00:21:07 That is so wise. Yes.
00:21:10 She taught Matt how to
00:21:12 Really?
00:21:13 -Let's hear it.
00:21:15 Excellent.
00:21:16 Excellent. I've got this covered.
00:21:20 And you must be late for something.

00:22:18 Look, look, look!
00:22:53 -How are the fish?
00:22:55 Are they?
00:22:57 You guys want to go to a movie?
00:22:59 There's nothing good playing.
00:23:01 Look, the storybook lady.
00:23:03 Are we at the right time?
00:23:07 "That it was I and I alone...
00:23:09 ...who had the idea for the great
00:23:13 We all have our moments
00:23:15 ...and this was mine.
00:23:18 'Why don't we,' I said...
00:23:19 ...'slip it into one of
00:23:23 And then...
00:23:24 ...when she puts her dirty hand in
00:23:27 ...she will grab a stinky,
00:23:31 The other four stared at me in wonder.
00:23:34 Then, as the sheer genius
00:23:38 ...they all started grinning.
00:23:40 They slapped me on the back.
00:23:43 They danced around the classroom.
00:23:44 'We will do it today!' they cried.
00:23:46 'We'll do it on the way home.
00:23:49 'So you can be the one who
00:23:55 Who belongs to this fish?
00:23:56 That's mine.
00:23:58 Could you give me a hand

00:24:03 ...whose real name is Anastasia.
00:24:04 And the next book, Betsy and Tacy
00:24:08 ...whose real name, I am sorry
00:24:12 The illustrations are hand-tipped.
00:24:16 And that's why it costs so much?
00:24:18 No, that's why it's worth so much.
00:24:20 I want all of them.
00:24:22 I'll think about it.
00:24:23 That's a lot for your dad
00:24:26 My dad gets me all the books I want.
00:24:28 That's very nice of him.
00:24:30 That's not my dad.
00:24:32 I don't really think
00:24:36 It's true.
00:24:37 Annabel is my aunt.
00:24:43 And Matt is his--
00:24:44 Wait, wait, let me guess.

00:24:49 No.
00:24:50 His grandfather?
00:24:53 His great-grandfather?
00:24:54 I'm his brother.
00:24:58 Matt is my father's son.
00:25:00 Annabel is my grandfather's daughter.
00:25:03 We are...
00:25:05 ...an American family.
00:25:12 Here you go, young lady.
00:25:13 What's that?
00:25:15 That's a handkerchief.
00:25:16 Do children not even know
00:25:19 A handkerchief is a kleenex

00:26:30 I started helping my mother after school

00:26:34 It wasn't that she was just selling
00:26:37 ...helping people become whoever
00:26:40 When you read a book as a child,
00:26:42 ...in a way that no other reading
00:26:45 And I have gotten carried away.
00:26:50 Yeah, you have.
00:26:52 You've made me feel....
00:26:57 Enchanting.
00:27:00 Yes, she was.
00:27:01 How will you pay for this?
00:27:03 Cash.
00:27:05 How did you know that?
00:27:07 From the photograph.
00:27:09 That you in the photograph?
00:27:11 Twirling.
00:27:14 My mother and I used to twirl.
00:27:16 Anyway, she left the store to me,
00:27:20 -$73, please.
00:27:21 $73.
00:27:26 How old is your daughter now?
00:27:30 I don't have a daughter.
00:27:32 I'm not married.
00:27:33 But eventually....
00:27:34 So the big bad Fox Books
00:27:39 Here you go.
00:27:41 Thank you. We're ready?
00:27:44 This is nice.
00:27:46 Goodbye, Annabel.
00:27:53 Matt, you know what?
00:27:56 Can you spell cat?
00:27:57 F-O-X.
00:27:59 F-O-X.
00:28:01 Cat. Thanks.
00:28:06 Good thing it wasn't the fish.
00:28:10 Take care!
00:28:56 No protests. No demonstrations.
00:28:59 The neighborhood loves us.
00:29:01 They're wondering where
00:29:03 Wondering how they did without us.
00:29:05 It's a hit!
00:29:06 How's the children's department?
00:29:08 It's early yet. School's not out.
00:29:10 And there is that children's store
00:29:13 Cecilia's store. Cecilia kelly.
00:29:16 I think we might have had
00:29:18 Her daughter owns it now.
00:29:19 We'll crush it!
00:29:20 She was enchanting.
00:29:28 They've been open 6 days.
00:29:30 ...$ 1 200 less than the same week...
00:29:33 ...last year.
00:29:35 That could be a fluke, right?
00:29:37 Or not.
00:29:39 Listen, their store is new.
00:29:42 It'll all shake out. Meanwhile,
00:29:46 That's a fine idea.
00:29:47 What if we have to fold?
00:29:49 I'm never going to find
00:29:52 Then I won't be able to pay
00:29:55 To Brooklyn.
00:29:57 The joy of rent control.
00:30:00 ...$450 a month.
00:30:01 We know. You've told us
00:30:04 I can't believe you're bringing
00:30:07 It's like those people who brag
00:30:11 Guys, we are not going to fold.
00:30:15 This place is a tomb.
00:30:17 I'm going to the nut shop,
00:30:32 Miranda!
00:30:36 kathleen, are you surviving?
00:30:39 We're so excited about your new book.
00:30:43 It's being published in January.
00:30:46 Will you be in business in January?
00:30:47 I'm so worried.
00:30:49 We're doing great.
00:30:50 Aren't we?
00:30:52 No difference whatsoever!
00:30:54 Great.
00:30:55 Thank God.
00:30:57 You can count on me for anything.
00:30:59 Support. Rallies. Picket lines.
00:31:01 We can get the Times
00:31:04 Or that nut from the Observer.
00:31:07 What nut in the Observer ?
00:31:08 Frank something-or-other.
00:31:10 The one who's so in love
00:31:12 This is just the sort of thing
00:31:17 A nut? She called me a nut?
00:31:19 That's not the point.
00:31:22 Why would she say that?
00:31:25 Yes, there is. No question.
00:31:26 We are fine.
00:31:28 You're more than fine.
00:31:30 We are fine.
00:31:31 How are you?
00:31:33 Fine.
00:31:34 Come in. Vince will be
00:31:37 Congratulations. Guess who I
00:31:40 William Spungeon.
00:31:41 I don't know him.
00:31:45 This is amazing.
00:31:47 "You should go to a retreat.
00:31:49 You really should go to a retreat."
00:31:56 Honey, will you get me
00:31:58 "Because it's a
00:32:00 ...to calm down."
00:32:03 He said that to me.
00:32:09 Champagne, please.
00:32:12 Stoli on the rocks.
00:32:15 White wine, please.
00:32:17 Here you go.
00:32:28 Remember me from the bookstore?
00:32:30 Of course I remember you.
00:32:32 How's your aunt?
00:32:34 She's great. Thanks.
00:32:36 I'd better go deliver this.
00:32:37 I have a very thirsty date.
00:32:40 Joe, right? Joe, isn't it?
00:32:43 And you are kathleen.
00:32:50 kathleen kelly.
00:32:51 Two white wine, please.
00:32:57 I cannot believe that you were
00:33:02 Joe Fox?
00:33:04 As in--
00:33:05 As in, he's going to
00:33:16 Fox? Your last name is Fox.
00:33:19 F-O-X.
00:33:22 God...
00:33:23 ...l didn't realize--
00:33:24 I didn't know--
00:33:26 Who you were with?
00:33:29 Excuse me?
00:33:32 It's from The Godfather.
00:33:34 Sorry, it's from The Godfather.
00:33:36 It's when...
00:33:37 ...the movie producer realizes
00:33:39 ...is an emissary of Vito Corleone.
00:33:42 Just before the horse's head
00:33:44 ...with all the bloody sheets.
00:33:50 Never mind.
00:33:52 You were spying on me, weren't you?
00:33:54 You probably rented those children.
00:33:56 Why would I spy on you?
00:33:57 Because I am your competition,
00:34:00 ...or you wouldn't have put up the sign:
00:34:04 The entrance to our store
00:34:07 There's no other way to saying that.
00:34:08 It's not the name of our store.
00:34:11 And you do not own...
00:34:13 ...the phrase "around the corner."
00:34:18 What is that?
00:34:19 What are you doing?
00:34:21 What is that? What are you doing?
00:34:23 You're taking all the caviar?
00:34:32 Look...
00:34:33 ...the reason I came into
00:34:35 ...l was spending the day with
00:34:37 I was buying them presents.
00:34:39 I'm the type of guy
00:34:41 ...into the hearts of children
00:34:43 There was only one place to find
00:34:47 That will not always be the case.
00:34:48 And it was yours.
00:34:50 ...a charming little bookstore.
00:34:52 You probably sell, what,
00:34:56 How did you know that?
00:34:57 I'm in the book business.
00:34:59 I am in the book business.
00:35:03 I see.
00:35:04 And we are the Price Club.
00:35:06 Only instead of a ten-gallon vat
00:35:10 ...that won't even fit under your
00:35:14 Me, a spy? Absolutely.
00:35:16 I have in my possession...
00:35:18 ...the super-duper, secret printout
00:35:21 ...of a bookstore so inconsequential,
00:35:24 ...that I was compelled
00:35:26 ...for fear that it will
00:35:30 What? What?
00:35:32 How you doing? Frank Navasky.
00:35:35 Joe Fox.
00:35:40 The inventor of the superstore,
00:35:42 The enemy of the mid-list novel.
00:35:44 The destroyer of City Books.
00:35:46 Tell me something.
00:35:48 I use a wonderful...
00:35:50 ...over-the-counter drug.
00:35:51 "Ultra-dorm."
00:35:53 Don't take the whole thing.
00:35:55 You'll wake up without
00:35:57 You're Frank Navasky, aren't you?
00:35:59 Your last piece in the Observer...
00:36:02 ...about Anthony Powell was brilliant.
00:36:05 Brilliant. Yes.
00:36:07 I'm Patricia Eden.
00:36:09 Eden Books.
00:36:10 This man is the greatest
00:36:14 ...on Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
00:36:15 You really liked--
00:36:17 This is kathleen kelly.
00:36:19 My piece? I'm sorry. I just--
00:36:22 You write these things. You think
00:36:24 The phone doesn't ring for a week
00:36:27 "I'm a fraud.
00:36:29 You know always fascinated me...
00:36:31 ...about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg?
00:36:32 Is how old they looked
00:36:35 ...our age.
00:36:37 You know?
00:36:39 I'm so happy to have
00:36:42 We'll talk. Have you ever
00:36:45 It's crossed my mind,
00:36:47 ...like the Luddite movement in
00:36:50 Call me.
00:36:51 Have you ever had a caviar garnish?
00:36:59 I had no idea Frank Navasky...
00:37:02 ...was going to be so down-to-earth.
00:37:06 You know, you read his stuff...
00:37:07 ...you think he's going to be
00:37:10 He's always talking
00:37:13 ...and Foucault.
00:37:15 And I have no idea what
00:37:23 Where you going?
00:37:24 I'm not tired. I'm not.
00:37:41 Do you ever feel you've become
00:37:49 That a Pandora's box...
00:37:51 ...of all the secret, hateful parts,
00:37:55 ...your condescension...
00:37:57 ...has sprung open?
00:37:58 Someone provokes you,
00:38:01 ...and moving on, you zing them?
00:38:04 "Hello, it's Mr. Nasty. "
00:38:07 I'm sure you have no idea
00:38:11 No, I know what you mean,
00:38:16 What happens to me when I'm provoked
00:38:19 My mind goes...
00:38:21 ...blank.
00:38:25 Then I spend all night
00:38:27 ...trying to figure out
00:38:33 What should I have said,
00:38:35 ...bottom-dweller...
00:38:42 ...who recently belittled
00:38:53 Nothing.
00:38:55 Nothing. Even now.
00:38:56 Even now...
00:38:58 ...days later...
00:38:59 ...l can't figure it out.
00:39:00 Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could
00:39:04 Then I'd never behave badly and
00:39:08 And we'd both be happy.
00:39:09 On the other hand,
00:39:11 that when you finally have the pleasure
00:39:15 ...at the moment you mean to say it,
00:39:24 Do you think we should meet?
00:39:36 Meet?
00:39:38 Oh, my God.
00:40:39 $72.27.
00:40:43 This is a cash-only line.
00:40:47 Cash only.
00:40:49 Oh, my God.
00:40:51 I just have a credit card.
00:40:53 I'm sorry. Is that okay?
00:40:54 No, it's not okay.
00:40:56 There's a sign.
00:40:58 I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
00:41:00 I never do this. But I ask you to make

00:42:04 So you're fine.
00:42:06 Fine.
00:42:08 Happy Thanksgiving.
00:42:11 I'm so sorry.
00:42:13 -From the bottom of my heart.
00:42:16 I'd like to get home.
00:42:17 You have my pen.
00:42:23 The sun'll come out tomorrow
00:42:26 Bet your bottom dollar that
00:42:28 Tomorrow there'll be sun
00:42:32 Just thinking about tomorrow
00:42:36 Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow
00:42:39 Till there's none
00:42:42 When I'm stuck with a day that's gray
00:42:44 And lonely
00:42:46 I just stick out my chin and grin
00:42:49 And say:
00:42:52 Oh, the sun'll come out tomorrow
00:42:55 So you got to hang on till tomorrow
00:42:59 Come what may

00:43:22 The violins
00:43:24 Sing withjoyful ring
00:43:28 The violins
00:43:30 Sing withjoyful ring
00:43:35 The clarinet, the clarinet
00:43:39 Goes doodly, doodly, doodly, doodly det
00:43:49 The horn, the horn
00:43:53 It sounds....
00:43:54 The horn sounds so forlorn
00:44:03 I got it.
00:44:58 "It's coming on Christmas.
00:45:01 Do you know that Joni Mitchell song?
00:45:03 "I wish I had a river
00:45:07 Such a sad song. And not
00:45:11 I was thinking about it tonight...
00:45:12 ...as I was
00:45:14 Unwrapping funky ornaments
00:45:17 ...and missing my mother so much
00:45:21 I always miss my mother at Christmas.
00:45:23 But somehow it is worse this year...
00:45:25 ...since I need some advice from her.
00:45:28 I need her to make me cocoa.
00:45:29 And tell me that everything
00:45:32 ...will sort itself out.
00:45:36 What kind of advice do you need?
00:45:45 Can you help?
00:45:49 I wish you could help.
00:45:52 I wish....
00:45:55 I had a gut feeling
00:46:00 I can give you advice.
00:46:02 I'm great at advice.
00:46:14 If only you could help.
00:46:20 Is it about love?
00:46:22 Please say no.
00:46:24 No. How cute is that?
00:46:26 My business is in trouble.
00:46:31 Well.
00:46:36 I'm a brilliant businessman.
00:46:38 It's what I do best.
00:46:40 What's your business?
00:46:44 No specifics. Remember?
00:46:51 Well.
00:46:53 Minus specifics, it's hard to help...
00:46:55 ...except to say:
00:46:57 "Go to the mattresses."
00:47:00 "Except to say, 'Go to the mattre--' "
00:47:03 What?
00:47:06 What does that mean?
00:47:08 It's from The Godfather.
00:47:14 What is it with men
00:47:18 Hello?
00:47:21 Oh, come on. Hello?
00:47:23 Well....
00:47:25 Well, what can l....
00:47:27 Michael--
00:47:29 The Godfather...
00:47:30 ..is the l-Ching.
00:47:33 The Godfather is the sum of all wisdom.
00:47:36 The Godfather is the answer
00:47:39 What should I pack
00:47:41 "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. "
00:47:44 What day of the week is it?
00:47:47 "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday."
00:47:51 The answer to your question...
00:47:53 ...is "Go to the mattresses. "
00:47:57 You're at war.
00:47:59 It's not personal. It's business.
00:48:03 Recite that to yourself...
00:48:04 ...every time you feel
00:48:10 I know you worry about being brave.
00:48:12 Don't.
00:48:14 This is your chance.
00:48:16 Fight.
00:48:18 Fight to the death!
00:48:26 It's not personal.
00:48:29 Fight, fight, fight!
00:48:39 I've been thinking.
00:48:42 What?
00:48:43 I've decided to go to the mattresses.
00:48:45 Do you think it would be
00:48:48 ...if you wrote something
00:48:50 Yes.
00:48:51 Yes?
00:48:52 No.
00:48:55 So you'll do it?
00:48:59 Do you know what it is
00:49:01 From The Godfather.
00:49:06 Good morning, Shop Around The Corner.
00:49:08 George speaking, may I help you?
00:49:12 The Channel Two truck just pulled up.
00:49:14 In a second.
00:49:15 Everyone's read the article.
00:49:17 "And so, you do not have to look
00:49:20 ...where good and evil face off...
00:49:22 ...the places Herodotus called
00:49:25 ...of absolutes.'
00:49:26 We have the perfect example
00:49:30 ...where the cold cash cow Fox Books...
00:49:33 ...threatens survival of a temple...
00:49:35 ...to one of the twentieth century's
00:49:38 You are what you read."
00:49:41 I believe that.
00:49:43 "Save The Shop Around The Corner...
00:49:45 ...and you will save your soul."
00:49:49 Frank, that's charming.
00:49:52 You think it's a little over the top?
00:49:54 That was The Village Voice.
00:49:57 Okay. All right.
00:49:59 "Float like a butterfly.
00:50:02 One, two, three, four!
00:50:03 We don't want your superstore!
00:50:05 Five, six, seven, eight!
00:50:07 Go away and close the gate!
00:50:09 One, two, three, four!
00:50:12 "We don't want this superstore."
00:50:15 -Is that what they're saying?
00:50:16 Well, who wrote that?
00:50:18 Annoying.
00:50:19 Pissing me off, actually.
00:50:21 Do you want the West Side...
00:50:22 ...to become one big gigantic
00:50:27 Do you want to get off the subway
00:50:31 ...and not even know
00:50:34 Can we save The Shop Around The Corner?
00:50:38 We're here...
00:50:39 ...in front of
00:50:41 ...the famous West Side
00:50:43 ...now on the verge
00:50:45 ...because the big bad wolf,
00:50:47 ...has opened
00:50:50 ...wooing customers with its sharp
00:50:55 They have to have
00:50:57 ...because most of the people
00:50:59 She's not as nice
00:51:02 You met her?
00:51:04 Boy, she's a pill.
00:51:06 She probably ain't as fine
00:51:09 No, no. She's beautiful.
00:51:11 But...
00:51:12 ...she's a pill.
00:51:14 You don't feel bad...
00:51:15 ...about basically sending her ass...
00:51:16 ...back to the projects
00:51:18 Broke, single, white lady.
00:51:20 It's not personal.
00:51:21 It's business.
00:51:24 Here's a good-looking guy.
00:51:26 I sell cheap books.
00:51:29 And that, in a nutshell...
00:51:30 ...is the Fox Books philosophy.
00:51:32 That's what you said?
00:51:33 Discount them and sell them.
00:51:35 Yeah, that's not all I said!
00:51:37 I can't believe those bastards.
00:51:40 I said you could read for hours
00:51:42 I said we had 150,000 titles.
00:51:43 I showed them
00:51:45 I said we were a goddamn piazza.
00:51:48 A place in the city where people
00:51:50 Piazza?
00:51:51 I was eloquent!
00:51:53 Shit!
00:51:55 It's inevitable, I guess.
00:51:57 People want to
00:51:59 And you into Attila the Hun.
00:52:01 Not me personally,
00:52:05 I have met Joe Fox.
00:52:07 And I've heard him compare
00:52:11 ...and the books in it
00:52:17 The bookstore, tell us about it.
00:52:21 The Shop Around The Corner...
00:52:23 ...has a kind of
00:52:26 ...that the city needs in order
00:52:31 Jeffersonian purity.
00:52:32 That was nice. Thank you.
00:52:34 Are you taping this?
00:52:36 Yeah, I'm taping this.
00:52:37 Technologically speaking,
00:52:39 I mean, take the VCR.
00:52:41 The whole idea behind the VCR
00:52:46 ...for you to tape what's on
00:52:48 ...when you leave the house.
00:52:49 Of course, the whole idea
00:52:52 ...is so you can miss...
00:52:53 ...what's on television.
00:52:55 -I've heard you say that before.
00:52:57 Absolutely.
00:52:59 Right.
00:53:00 She gets it.
00:53:02 Radio.
00:53:05 Are you going to
00:53:07 We're on television.
00:53:09 You're good at it.
00:53:14 She's coming on to you.
00:53:16 No. They do this on television.
00:53:18 The Shop Around The Corner...
00:53:19 ...it's a true New York treasure.
00:53:22 As are you.
00:53:26 Honestly, I'd love to have you back.
00:53:29 Is she sweating?
00:53:30 She's touching herself.
00:53:33 Anytime.
00:53:36 Okay, we can turn it off.
00:53:38 Oh, my God.
00:53:39 I just want to say that
00:53:43 Oh, my God.
00:53:44 No! I was being polite.
00:53:46 Thank you, Frank Navasky.
00:53:48 Thank you're...? I'm sorry.
00:53:50 Thank you're?
00:53:51 Thank you're, ladies and gentlemen.
00:53:54 I slobbered all over her, didn't l?
00:53:57 But I think that
00:54:12 So first, I got to go get
00:54:16 ...because it makes...
00:54:17 ...my apartment smell mossy.
00:54:20 Then I'm going to the market.
00:54:21 And I can't decide whether to get...
00:54:23 ...sausage for the meat sauce,
00:54:26 Spare us.
00:54:28 You know what? Clam sauce.
00:54:30 Because this is a big date.
00:54:36 Don't tell me.
00:54:37 Not the slightest difference?
00:54:41 How can that be?
00:54:42 All this publicity
00:54:47 Birdie, what am I going to do?
00:54:50 What would Mom have done?
00:54:53 Well, let's ask her.
00:54:59 Cecilia, what should we do?
00:55:07 She has no idea.
00:55:08 But she thinks
00:55:16 Good night, dearie.
00:55:33 I need help.
00:55:37 Do you still want to meet me?
00:55:41 I would love to meet you.
00:55:45 So I suppose she's
00:55:47 ...of a book with a flower in it?
00:55:50 Not really?
00:55:52 She could be a real dog, man.
00:55:54 I'm only staying 10 minutes.
00:55:56 I'll say hello, have a cup of
00:55:59 That's what I'm going to do.
00:56:00 Hope she doesn't have a squeaky voice
00:56:03 I hate that.
00:56:04 Why am I doing this?
00:56:07 Why?
00:56:09 Relax.
00:56:10 You're just taking it to the next level.
00:56:12 I always do that.
00:56:13 I always take
00:56:15 If that works out, I take it
00:56:19 Till I finally reach that level where
00:56:23 ...for me to leave.
00:56:26 I'm not going to stay that long anyway.
00:56:28 I already said that, didn't l?
00:56:35 Well, okay. Café Lalo.
00:56:39 Eight o'clock.
00:56:44 This woman is the most adorable creature
00:56:47 And if she turns out even to be
00:56:51 ...l'd be crazy not to turn my life
00:56:56 She could be a real dog.
00:56:58 But good luck.
00:57:03 Would you go and look for me?
00:57:05 Yes, go look through the window
00:57:08 All right.
00:57:12 -You're pathetic, man.
00:57:16 All right. I'll see what I see.
00:57:18 You see her?
00:57:21 Wait, yeah.
00:57:22 I see a very beautiful girl.
00:57:25 She's fine.
00:57:27 -I knew it.
00:57:29 I knew she would be.
00:57:31 But no book.
00:57:36 All right.
00:57:37 Okay, wait. Wait a minute.
00:57:39 There's a book with a flower.
00:57:42 And what does she look like?
00:57:44 Can't see her. Waiter's blocking.
00:57:46 Damn it!
00:57:47 Hold on. He's moving.
00:57:51 Can you see her?
00:57:54 Can you see her?
00:57:57 Yeah.
00:57:58 And?
00:58:01 She's very pretty.
00:58:03 She is!
00:58:05 I knew she would be!
00:58:07 She had to be!
00:58:11 You know what?
00:58:12 She look--
00:58:14 I mean, she almost has
00:58:18 ...that kathleen kelly person.
00:58:20 kathleen kelly
00:58:21 Why not? You said you thought
00:58:23 Absolutely, yes. Why not?
00:58:26 Well, if you don't like
00:58:30 ...l can tell you right now...
00:58:32 ...you ain't going to like this girl.
00:58:35 Why not?
00:58:37 Because it is kathleen kelly.
00:58:52 So what are you going to do?
00:58:57 Nothing.
00:58:59 You're going
00:59:01 Yes. That's exactly
00:59:05 Good night, kevin.
00:59:16 Do you mind if I borrow this chair?
00:59:17 Yes, I mind. Sorry.
00:59:19 I'm expecting someone.
00:59:34 Would you like another tea?
00:59:37 Yes. Thank you.
01:00:12 This is a coincidence.
01:00:15 Yes, I would, actually.
01:00:19 Pride and Prejudice.
01:00:21 Do you mind?
01:00:22 I bet you read that book every year.
01:00:24 I bet you just love that...
01:00:26 ...Mr. Darcy.
01:00:27 Your sentimental heart beats wildly
01:00:31 ...you know, whatever her name is...
01:00:32 ...are truly, honestly going
01:00:39 Can I get you something?
01:00:40 No. He's not staying.
01:00:41 Mochaccino decaf, nonfat.
01:00:43 No. You are not staying!
01:00:45 I'll stay until your friend gets here.
01:00:48 Is he late?
01:00:50 The heroine of Pride and Prejudice
01:00:53 She is a great and complex character.
01:00:57 As a matter of fact, I've read it.
01:00:59 Good for you.
01:01:01 I think you'd discover a lot of things
01:01:03 If I really knew you,
01:01:05 Instead of a brain, a cash register.
01:01:07 Instead of a heart, a bottom line.
01:01:13 What?
01:01:14 I just had a breakthrough.
01:01:15 What is it?
01:01:16 I have you to thank for it.
01:01:18 ...when confronted with a horrible,
01:01:21 ...l knew exactly what I wanted
01:01:24 You have a gift for it.
01:01:25 That was a perfect blend
01:01:28 Meanness? Let me tell
01:01:30 Don't misunderstand me.
01:01:34 Why are you touching that?
01:01:37 Is this a red rose? No.
01:01:39 Something you read in a book,
01:01:40 It's funny to you, isn't it?
01:01:42 Everything is a joke to you.
01:01:53 Please leave.
01:01:55 Please, please leave. I beg you.
01:02:04 Thank you.
01:02:25 You know what that hanky reminds
01:02:29 First day you lied to me.
01:02:31 -I didn't lie to you.
01:02:33 -No, I didn't. I did not.
01:02:37 You did too.
01:02:38 I thought all that Fox stuff
01:02:41 Well, I didn't lie about it.
01:02:44 "Joe"? "Just call me Joe."
01:02:46 Sure.
01:02:47 As if you were a stupid
01:02:50 "Hi, I'm kimberly." "Hi, I'm Janice."
01:02:52 Don't they know you're supposed
01:02:54 It's like they're an entire generation
01:02:57 Look.
01:02:59 I am not
01:03:02 That is not what I meant.
01:03:03 When I said the thing about
01:03:05 ...that's not what I meant.
01:03:07 You poor, sad multimillionaire.
01:03:17 Take a wild guess
01:03:21 So who is he, I wonder?
01:03:23 Certainly not, I gather,
01:03:26 ...on Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
01:03:29 But somebody else entirely different.
01:03:32 Will you be mean to him too?
01:03:34 No, I will not.
01:03:36 The man who is coming here
01:03:39 The man who is coming here
01:03:42 He's got the most wonderful
01:03:45 But...
01:03:46 ...he's not here.
01:03:49 If he's not here, he has a reason...
01:03:51 ...because there is not a cruel
01:03:54 I wouldn't expect you
01:03:56 You with your theme park, multilevel...
01:03:59 ...homogenize-the-world mochaccinoland.
01:04:01 You've deluded
01:04:03 ...you're some sort of benefactor
01:04:06 But no one will ever remember you,
01:04:09 And maybe no one
01:04:11 But plenty of people remember my mother.
01:04:13 And they think she was fine...
01:04:15 ...and they think her store
01:04:19 You are nothing but a suit.
01:04:34 That's my cue.
01:04:39 Good night.
01:05:53 So then the agent asks for
01:05:57 "If you think I'm even going
01:06:00 ...about paying that kind of
01:06:02 ...whose last book is being used
01:06:07 ...you are completely crazy."
01:06:09 She was insulting and provocative.
01:06:14 ...was the way her hair
01:06:17 But underneath
01:06:19 ...she may turn out to be a real--
01:06:21 A real bitch.
01:06:23 Let's not talk about it.
01:06:24 I'm going back to the office.
01:06:27 Not really.
01:06:28 This place is a well-oiled
01:06:33 So? What happened?
01:06:36 He never came.
01:06:37 He stood you up.
01:06:38 I wouldn't characterize it that way.
01:06:42 Something terrible and unexpected
01:06:46 What if he showed up,
01:06:49 Not possible.
01:06:52 Maybe there was a subway accident.
01:06:55 Absolutely.
01:06:56 A train got trapped underground
01:06:59 And no phone.
01:07:00 And you know how those
01:07:02 He got sucked onto the tracks.
01:07:04 The third rail.
01:07:06 He's toast.
01:07:07 What happened?
01:07:09 He was unable to make it.
01:07:11 He stood you up?
01:07:16 Maybe...
01:07:17 ...he had a car accident.
01:07:20 They hit something and you slam
01:07:24 Or his elbows could be in splints,
01:07:28 Or he could be unconscious.
01:07:30 In a coma.
01:07:32 Stuck in intensive care.
01:07:34 With that heart monitor beeping.
01:07:36 And, like....
01:07:37 No phone.
01:07:46 What are you saying?
01:07:48 It could be.
01:07:49 He was arrested
01:07:52 Is there a picture?
01:07:57 So that explains it.
01:07:59 He was in jail.
01:08:02 And there was a phone.
01:08:03 But he only got one call,
01:08:05 You are so lucky.
01:08:07 You could be dead.
01:08:11 He couldn't possibly
01:08:14 Remember when you thought
01:08:17 Well...
01:08:18 ...that was different.
01:08:21 How long did you sit there all alone?
01:08:23 Not long. Joe Fox came in.
01:08:26 I don't want to talk about it.
01:08:29 There's got to be something to do.
01:08:33 Look at this.
01:08:34 He looks kind of cute.
01:08:38 So?
01:08:39 He was unavoidably detained.
01:08:43 He stood you up?
01:08:49 I've been thinking about you.
01:08:52 Last night I went to meet you,
01:08:56 I wish I knew why.
01:08:58 I felt so foolish.
01:09:02 As I waited, someone else showed up.
01:09:04 A man who has made
01:09:07 And an amazing thing happened.
01:09:12 I was able, for the first time...
01:09:14 ...to say the exact thing
01:09:16 ...at the exact moment
01:09:19 And of course,
01:09:23 ...just as you said I would.
01:09:26 I was cruel...
01:09:28 ...and I'm never cruel.
01:09:30 Though I can hardly believe
01:09:33 To him, I am just a bug to be crushed.
01:09:37 But what if it did?
01:09:38 No matter what he's done to me...
01:09:40 ...there is no excuse for my behavior.
01:09:43 Anyway...
01:09:44 ...l so wanted to talk to you.
01:09:47 I hope you have a good reason
01:09:50 You don't seem like the kind of
01:09:54 The odd thing about this
01:09:56 ...is you're more likely to talk
01:09:59 But ljust want to say...
01:10:01 ...that all this nothing has meant
01:10:05 ...somethings.
01:10:08 So, thanks.
01:10:25 Goodbye.
01:11:18 I am in...
01:11:23 ... Vancouver.
01:11:34 I was stuck in a meeting...
01:11:35 ...which I couldn't get out of...
01:11:37 ...and...
01:11:38 ...the electricity went
01:11:40 And...
01:11:42 ...we were trapped...
01:11:43 ...on the 38th floor, and...
01:11:47 ...the telephone system blew too...
01:11:56 ...amazingly enough.
01:12:32 Dear friend.
01:12:36 I cannot tell you
01:12:40 But I beg you
01:12:43 ...to forgive me for not being there.
01:12:53 For what happened.
01:12:57 I feel terrible that you
01:13:01 ...that caused you additional pain.
01:13:06 But I'm absolutely sure...
01:13:08 ...that whatever you said
01:13:12 Even deserved.
01:13:16 Everyone says things they regret
01:13:22 You were expecting to see
01:13:26 ...and met the enemy instead.
01:13:32 The fault is mine.
01:13:37 Someday I'll explain everything.
01:13:39 Meanwhile...
01:13:40 ...l'm still here.
01:13:43 Talk to me.
01:13:44 Did he say anything about
01:13:47 No, not really.
01:13:49 Listen, it doesn't matter.
01:13:51 We'll be like George Bernard Shaw
01:13:53 We'll write letters our whole lives.
01:13:56 Thank you for the scones.
01:13:59 Birdie, where was this one taken?
01:14:03 Seville.
01:14:04 When you fell madly in love?
01:14:07 So, dearie,
01:14:10 Close. We're going to close.
01:14:13 Close.
01:14:15 Closing the store...
01:14:16 ...is the brave thing to do.
01:14:20 You are such a liar.
01:14:22 But thank you.
01:14:23 You are daring to imagine that you
01:14:29 I know it doesn't feel like that.
01:14:34 But you're not.
01:14:36 You are marching into the unknown,
01:14:40 ...nothing.
01:14:42 Have a sandwich.
01:14:44 Well, not nothing.
01:14:45 I have a little money saved.
01:14:48 If you need more, ask me.
01:14:51 I bought lntel at six.
01:14:57 I suppose you want me...
01:14:59 ...to tell you who it was...
01:15:00 ...l fell madly in love with.
01:15:03 But I'm not going to tell.
01:15:05 Who was it?
01:15:08 Come on, tell. That's so mean.
01:15:12 But so romantic.
01:15:13 -It wasn't meant to be.
01:15:16 He ran Spain.
01:15:19 Spain?
01:15:20 The country. He ran it.
01:15:22 It was his job.
01:15:23 And then he died.
01:15:25 Just as well.
01:15:27 Milk or lemon?
01:15:30 She fell in love with
01:15:33 Don't say that.
01:15:35 Who else could it have been?
01:15:39 -Do you want some popcorn?
01:15:42 It's not like
01:15:44 ...like a socialist, or an anarchist.
01:15:47 It happened in Spain.
01:15:48 People do stupid things
01:15:51 Absolutely. They buy leather jackets
01:15:54 But they don't fall in love
01:16:03 Birdie is a very special person to me.
01:16:06 She is practically my surrogate mother.
01:16:09 -She's out of her mind.
01:16:12 I could never be with anyone...
01:16:13 ...who doesn't take
01:16:16 Do you mind?
01:16:17 A hot dog is singing.
01:16:19 You need quiet
01:16:25 I have something to tell you, Frank.
01:16:28 I didn't vote.
01:16:30 What?
01:16:31 In the last mayoral election...
01:16:33 ...when Rudy Giuliani was running
01:16:36 I went to get a manicure.
01:16:38 And forgot to vote.
01:16:40 Since when do you get manicures?
01:16:42 I suppose you could never be with
01:16:45 Never mind. It's okay.
01:16:47 I forgive you.
01:16:49 You forgive me?
01:16:59 Excuse me, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
01:17:03 This has been a big week.
01:17:05 No, it's not that. Really, it's not.
01:17:08 I know. That was terrible of me.
01:17:12 What was terrible?
01:17:14 Jumping all over you
01:17:18 God, I don't even know how to say this.
01:17:21 What is it?
01:17:23 What?
01:17:26 You're a wonderful person, kathleen.
01:17:29 So are you.
01:17:31 And I'm so honored that you'd
01:17:33 ...because you would never be...
01:17:35 ...with anyone...
01:17:37 ...who wasn't truly worthy.
01:17:39 I feel exactly...
01:17:40 ...the same way.
01:17:42 Don't say that.
01:17:45 What?
01:17:48 You don't love me.
01:17:56 Me either.
01:17:58 You don't love me?
01:18:02 No.
01:18:03 But we're so right for each other.
01:18:05 I know.
01:18:09 Well, is there someone else?
01:18:13 That woman on television, Sidney-Ann.
01:18:17 Nothing has happened or anything,
01:18:20 Is she a Republican?
01:18:22 I can't help myself.
01:18:33 What about you?
01:18:35 Is there someone else?
01:18:38 No.
01:18:40 No. But...
01:18:43 ...but there is the dream
01:19:13 Honey, grab a copy of
01:19:15 This is a tragedy.
01:19:18 Are these chairs for sale?
01:19:20 Anything not nailed down.
01:19:21 Ten dollars, it's yours.
01:19:23 What are you going to do now?
01:19:24 I think I'll take some time.
01:19:28 Good luck to you.
01:19:31 I came here every Saturday
01:19:35 I remember when your mother
01:19:38 "Read it with a box of kleenex,"
01:19:40 That's what she told me.
01:19:42 Could someone help me?
01:19:43 She's looking down on you right now.
01:19:45 I'm sure she is.
01:19:46 Why don't we bomb Fox Books?
01:21:33 Do you have the "shoe" books?
01:21:36 The "shoe" books?
01:21:37 Who's the author?
01:21:39 I don't know.
01:21:40 My friend told me my daughter
01:21:43 ...so here I am.

01:22:16 Thank you.
01:22:18 Kathleen Kelly. I swear it was
01:22:21 Just like that?
01:22:22 Everyone was talking about her today.
01:22:24 kathleen kelly and her "situation."
01:22:27 And I was thinking that she'd make
01:22:32 What makes you think that?
01:22:33 Well...
01:22:35 ...she knows everything.
01:22:36 She has flawless taste.
01:22:39 Salesmen swear by her. If she likes
01:22:44 So you're going to offer her a job?
01:22:46 What else has she got to do?
01:22:48 Now that she's destitute.
01:22:49 Thanks to you.
01:22:51 I don't see her working for you.
01:22:53 Why not?
01:22:54 Because she lacks the killer instinct.
01:22:55 She's never fired anybody.
01:22:58 Those people have been there forever.
01:23:00 Till recently, when they all
01:23:02 Thanks to you.
01:23:04 Hold the elevator!
01:23:09 Mr. Fox.
01:23:10 Hello, Charlie.
01:23:13 I love how you've forgotten...
01:23:14 ...you've had any role in her
01:23:17 It's so obtuse.
01:23:19 It's so insensitive.
01:23:21 Reminds me of someone.
01:23:22 Who? Who does it remind me of?
01:23:26 Me.
01:23:31 What is going on?
01:23:33 Could be stuck.
01:23:42 What are you doing?
01:23:44 I hope this thing doesn't
01:23:47 Can it do that?
01:23:49 It cannot plummet to the basement.
01:23:52 Hi, this is Joe Fox. Who's this?
01:23:54 Juan?
01:23:56 Juan, we are stuck in the elevator...
01:23:58 ...between the sixth and seventh floor.
01:24:00 There's four of us.
01:24:01 If you don't get your ass...
01:24:02 ...up here in two shakes...
01:24:04 ...and get us the hell out of here...!
01:24:08 Listen...
01:24:09 ...call the super...
01:24:10 ...and then 9-1 -1 .
01:24:13 9-1 -1 .
01:24:15 The fire department, that's right.
01:24:18 Thank you very much.
01:24:23 Everyone should jump in the air.
01:24:24 What?
01:24:26 We jump...
01:24:27 ...the elevator thinks
01:24:34 One...
01:24:35 ...two...
01:24:36 ....three, jump.
01:24:45 If I ever get out of here...
01:24:47 ...l'm going to start speaking
01:24:51 Wonder what she's doing
01:24:54 If I ever get out of here...
01:24:56 ...l'm marrying Orit.
01:24:59 I love her.
01:25:00 I should marry her.
01:25:02 I don't know what's been stopping me.
01:25:10 If I ever get out of here,
01:25:20 If I ever get out of here....
01:25:22 Where are my Tic-Tacs?
01:25:27 What?
01:25:31 I came home tonight.
01:25:32 And got into the elevator
01:25:35 An hour later
01:25:38 ...and Brinkley and I moved out.
01:25:40 Suddenly everything had become clear.
01:25:44 It's a long story...
01:25:45 ...full of the personal details
01:25:48 Let mejust say...
01:25:50 ...there was a man sitting
01:25:53 ...who knew exactly what he wanted...
01:25:56 ...and I found myself wishing
01:26:03 People are always telling you
01:26:07 But all they're really saying...
01:26:08 ...is that something you didn't
01:26:11 ...has happened.
01:26:13 My store is closing this week.
01:26:16 I own a store.
01:26:18 Did I ever tell you that?
01:26:20 It's a lovely store.
01:26:22 And in a week it will be
01:26:24 ...like a Baby Gap.
01:26:29 Soon we'lljust be a memory.
01:26:31 In fact, someone,
01:26:33 ...will probably think
01:26:35 The way it keeps changing on you.
01:26:37 Or the way you can never
01:26:40 I know, because that's
01:26:43 But the truth is...
01:26:45 ...l'm heartbroken.
01:26:49 I feel as if a part of me has died...
01:26:52 ...and my mother has died
01:26:58 And no one...
01:26:59 ...can ever make it right.
01:29:00 What happened?
01:29:04 Oh, hell.
01:29:07 How are you?
01:29:08 You know, Dad, you did pretty well.
01:29:10 At least you didn't marry her.
01:29:11 Welcome aboard.
01:29:13 It lasted awhile.
01:29:30 You know...
01:29:33 ...l've stayed on this boat after...
01:29:35 ...let's see...
01:29:37 ...well, your mother.
01:29:39 Laurette, the ballet dancer.
01:29:41 My nanny.
01:29:43 She was the nanny?
01:29:47 I forgot that.
01:29:49 How ironic.
01:29:51 And then there was the ice skater.
01:29:53 Also my nanny.
01:29:54 Really?
01:29:57 Well, that's amazingly ironic.
01:30:00 And then there was Sybil.
01:30:01 The...
01:30:03 ...it's an "A" word.
01:30:04 Astrologer.
01:30:05 Exactly. Yeah.
01:30:07 Whose moon turned out to be
01:30:10 Just like Gillian.
01:30:13 Gillian ran off with someone?
01:30:14 The nanny.
01:30:16 Nanny Maureen?
01:30:22 Gillian ran off with Nanny Maureen.
01:30:25 You got it.
01:30:26 It's incredibly ironic.
01:30:28 That's true.
01:30:29 No other word for it.
01:30:32 Well, who's better than us?
01:30:34 Father and son, together at last.
01:30:37 Who did you say you broke up with?
01:30:39 Patricia.
01:30:41 You met her.
01:30:42 Would I like her?
01:30:46 Just kidding, son.
01:30:48 Now, is this beautiful or what?
01:30:52 I'll be living out of a suitcase for...
01:30:54 ...at least 3 weeks.
01:30:56 And then there's
01:30:59 More of your inheritance
01:31:01 Don't you worry about it.
01:31:03 I won't.
01:31:04 I'll just have to meet someone new,
01:31:06 That's the easy part.
01:31:07 Right, yeah.
01:31:08 A snap to find
01:31:11 ...who fills your heart with joy.
01:31:12 Well, don't be ridiculous.
01:31:14 Have I ever been with anybody
01:31:18 Have you?
01:31:46 Who is it?
01:31:48 It's Joe Fox.
01:31:52 What are you doing here?
01:31:56 May I please come up?
01:31:57 No, I don't....
01:31:58 No, I don't really think that
01:32:02 ...l have a...
01:32:04 ...l have a terrible...
01:32:05 ...cold.
01:32:11 Can you hear that?
01:32:14 I'm sniffling,
01:32:17 ...and I'm taking echinacea...
01:32:19 ...and vitamin C and sleeping
01:32:21 ...24 hours a day.
01:32:24 And I think I'm contagious.
01:32:28 ...l would really appreciate it
01:32:42 Just a second!
01:32:50 Yes, just a second.
01:33:05 What are you doing here?
01:33:07 I heard you were sick...
01:33:09 ...and I was worried.
01:33:11 And I wanted...
01:33:13 ...to make--
01:33:16 Is there somebody here?
01:33:19 It's the Home Shopping Network.
01:33:21 You buy any of those
01:33:23 I was thinking about it.
01:33:26 You put me out of business.
01:33:27 Yes, I did.
01:33:28 Did you come to gloat?
01:33:30 To offer me a job?
01:33:31 I would never--
01:33:32 I have plans.
01:33:34 You know, I got offered a job by--
01:33:36 By my former....
01:33:37 Your former?
01:33:38 We broke up.
01:33:40 That's too bad. You were
01:33:46 I don't mean to say things like that.
01:33:47 No matter what you've done...
01:33:49 ...there's no excuse for my
01:33:51 But every time I see you--
01:33:52 Things like that just
01:33:57 I brought you flowers.
01:34:02 Thank you.
01:34:08 Why don't I just
01:34:12 You're sick.
01:34:13 You should sit down.
01:34:19 I need a vase?
01:34:21 Above the refrigerator.
01:34:24 There it is. Obviously.
01:34:27 George says hello, by the way.
01:34:32 He told me you were sick.
01:34:33 How is George?
01:34:36 He's great, really great.
01:34:38 He's revolutionizing the place.
01:34:41 You can't work in his department...
01:34:43 ...unless you have a Ph.D.
01:34:45 I love daisies.
01:34:48 You told me.
01:34:49 They're so friendly.
01:34:51 Don't you think daisies
01:34:54 I do.
01:34:56 When did you break up?
01:34:58 Couple of weeks ago.
01:35:00 Everyone is breaking up. You. Me.
01:35:03 This other person I know broke up
01:35:06 ...or after it,
01:35:10 It got stuck....
01:35:12 When I saw you at the coffee place,
01:35:15 And I was....
01:35:17 Charming.
01:35:18 I was not charming.
01:35:20 Well, you looked charming. Tea?
01:35:22 Yes.
01:35:24 I was upset and horrible.
01:35:27 Honey?
01:35:29 I was the horrible one.
01:35:30 Well, that's true.
01:35:32 But I have no excuse.
01:35:35 I see what you're saying.
01:35:38 That's interesting.
01:35:39 Whereas I am a horrible person...
01:35:41 ...therefore I have no choice
01:35:45 That's what you're saying.
01:35:47 But that's all right.
01:35:48 That's all right. I put you
01:35:51 ...you're entitled to hate me.
01:35:54 I don't hate you.
01:35:57 But you'll never forgive me.
01:35:59 Just like Elizabeth.
01:36:00 Who?
01:36:02 Elizabeth Bennet...
01:36:03 ...in Pride and Prejudice.
01:36:06 I thought you hated
01:36:08 Or was she too prejudiced...
01:36:11 ...and Mr. Darcy is too proud?
01:36:13 Well, I can't remember.
01:36:21 It wasn't personal.
01:36:23 What is that supposed to mean?
01:36:26 All that means
01:36:30 But it was personal to me.
01:36:31 It's personal to a lot of people.
01:36:34 What is so wrong with being personal?
01:36:38 Nothing.
01:36:39 Whatever else anything is,
01:36:47 My head is starting to get fuzzy.
01:36:54 Why did you stop by again?
01:36:57 I wanted to be your friend.
01:37:02 I knew it wasn't possible.
01:37:05 What can I say? Sometimes a guy
01:37:17 Can I ask you a question?
01:37:20 What?
01:37:22 What happened with that guy
01:37:26 Nothing.
01:37:27 But you're crazy about him?
01:37:30 Yes, I am.
01:37:31 Why don't you run off with him?
01:37:37 I don't actually know him.
01:37:40 Really?
01:37:43 I only know him through the....
01:37:46 You're not going to believe this.
01:37:48 Let me guess.
01:37:50 Through the lnternet?
01:37:52 Yes.
01:37:57 "You've...
01:37:58 ...got mail."
01:38:03 Those are very powerful words.
01:38:10 I'm happy for him.
01:38:13 Although....
01:38:16 Could I just make a little suggestion?
01:38:18 What?
01:38:20 I think...
01:38:22 ...you should meet him.
01:38:24 No, wait, I take that back.
01:38:27 Why would you want to meet
01:38:30 I hardly think I need to take
01:38:36 Now I can see that I
01:38:38 But let me just help
01:38:41 ...you're just going to
01:38:43 ...for years to come.
01:38:58 I hope you feel better soon.
01:39:01 It would be a shame to miss
01:39:08 Thank you for the daisies.
01:39:20 Well...
01:39:21 ...you take care.
01:39:24 I will.
01:39:26 Goodbye.
01:39:29 Goodbye.
01:39:46 I've been thinking about this...
01:39:48 ...and I think we should meet.
01:39:57 We should meet.
01:39:59 And we will meet.
01:40:01 But I'm in the middle
01:40:10 ...tweaking.
01:40:31 Some tweaking?
01:40:33 A project that needed...
01:40:35 ..."tweaking."
01:40:36 -Yeah, that's what he said.
01:40:39 -Tweaking.
01:40:41 It sounds to me like he's married...
01:40:44 ...3 kids.
01:40:45 That's a terrible thing to say.
01:40:47 He couldn't possibly be married.
01:40:48 How do you know?
01:40:49 Have you said, "Are you married?"
01:40:52 No, I'm not going to-- No.
01:40:56 I know this is probably
01:41:00 ...are you married?
01:41:05 Am I married?
01:41:06 What kind of question is that?
01:41:09 How can you ask me that?
01:41:10 Don't you know me at all?
01:41:12 Wait, I get it.
01:41:14 Your friends are telling you
01:41:17 ...is that I'm married.
01:41:20 So he didn't answer the question.
01:41:22 Yes, he did.
01:41:23 -He did not.
01:41:24 He did. He nailed me.
01:41:26 He knew exactly what I was after...
01:41:27 ...which is, by the way,
01:41:30 He did not answer the question,
01:41:34 No.
01:41:36 Maybe he's fat.
01:41:39 He's fat. He's a fatty.
01:41:41 I don't care about that.
01:41:43 You don't care that he's so fat...
01:41:45 ...he has to be removed
01:41:48 You don't care.
01:41:49 That is very unlikely.
01:41:50 That is completely ridiculous.
01:41:53 So what's his handle?
01:41:58 I'm not going to write him.
01:42:00 You think I'm going to e-mail him?
01:42:04 All right, N-Y-1 -5-2.
01:42:06 N-Y-1 -5-2? 1 52.
01:42:09 He's 1 52 years old.
01:42:11 He's had 1 52 moles removed...
01:42:14 ...so now he's got
01:42:18 ...on his face.
01:42:20 The number of people...
01:42:21 ...who think he looks like Clark Gable.
01:42:23 1 52 people who think
01:42:30 -Why'd I tell you about this?
01:42:34 The number of his souvenir
01:42:37 ...that he's collected...
01:42:39 ...in his travels.
01:42:42 His address.
01:42:43 No, he would never
01:42:51 The only thing I
01:42:54 ...aside from the married thing
01:42:56 Of course.
01:42:58 ...is the boat thing.
01:43:00 What boat thing?
01:43:01 I could never be with someone
01:43:05 I have a boat.
01:43:09 Which clinches it.
01:43:12 -How many?
01:43:14 -Allow me.
01:43:15 I could never be with
01:43:19 "It's cloud's illusions I recall.
01:43:20 I really don't know clouds at all."
01:43:22 What does that mean?
01:43:23 Is she a pilot?
01:43:26 It must be a metaphor for something,
01:43:30 So how's your book coming?
01:43:32 There's this children's book editor
01:43:35 ...and she's excited to read it
01:43:37 Who would ever have thought
01:43:40 If I hadn't had all this time....
01:43:43 -You know what?
01:43:45 The truth is that he was the one who
01:43:50 Mr. 1 52 Felony lndictments.
01:43:54 Mr. 1 52 lnsights lnto My Soul.
01:44:00 No competing with that.
01:44:04 I keep on bumping into you.
01:44:08 Hope your mango's ripe.
01:44:10 I think it is.
01:44:13 You want to bump into me on...
01:44:15 ...Saturday around lunchtime?
01:44:17 Over there?
01:44:25 How about meeting...
01:44:28 ...Saturday?
01:44:30 Four o'clock?
01:44:32 There's a place in Riverside Park
01:44:35 ...where the path curves
01:44:38 Brinkley and I will be waiting.
01:44:41 Okay, come on, let's do it.
01:44:42 Ready? And...
01:44:44 ...doop.
01:44:45 There it goes.
01:44:47 Today?
01:44:50 I know. In Riverside Park.
01:44:54 That would mean he's a West Sider.
01:44:56 Isn't that amazing?
01:44:57 Maybe I've seen him
01:44:59 You could have seen him
01:45:02 -It's very possible.
01:45:03 -He could be anyone.
01:45:05 And those flowers are for you.
01:45:09 Could be the Zipper Man.
01:45:10 Who's that?
01:45:11 The Zipper Man.
01:45:13 Who is that?
01:45:14 He repairs zippers on Amsterdam Avenue.
01:45:16 Will you cut it out?
01:45:17 You'd never have to buy new luggage.
01:45:18 Cut it out.
01:45:21 The timing here is everything.
01:45:23 He's waited until you're primed.
01:45:25 See?
01:45:26 Until you are absolutely convinced...
01:45:28 ...that there's no other man...
01:45:31 ...that you could possibly love.
01:45:33 Yes.
01:45:35 You know, sometimes I wonder.
01:45:37 What?
01:45:39 Well...
01:45:42 ...if I hadn't been Fox Books
01:45:45 ...The Shop Around The Corner...
01:45:48 ...and you and I had just,
01:45:51 I know.
01:45:54 I'd have asked for your number.
01:45:58 I wouldn't have been able to wait...
01:45:59 ...24 hours before calling
01:46:04 "How about some coffee or...
01:46:06 ...you know, drinks or dinner...
01:46:09 ...or a movie...
01:46:11 ...for as long as we both shall live."
01:46:19 You and I would never have been at war.
01:46:22 The only thing we'd fight about
01:46:24 ...which video to rent
01:46:30 Who fights about that?
01:46:33 Some people.
01:46:35 Not us.
01:46:36 We would never.
01:46:43 If only.
01:46:49 I got to go.
01:46:50 Let me ask you something.
01:46:56 How can you forgive this guy
01:47:00 ...and not forgive me for this
01:47:04 ...of putting you out of business?
01:47:12 How I wish you would.
01:47:16 I really have to go.
01:47:18 You don't want to be late.
01:49:29 Don't cry, Shopgirl.
01:49:32 Don't cry.
01:49:37 I wanted it to be you.
01:49:41 I wanted it to be you so badly.
