:03:01
- to their responsibilities to their families.
- And so, by your standards,
:03:04
doing what I do makes me
unfit for motherhood.
:03:08
Well, we make
our own beds, don't we?
:03:10
That is true.
Just out of curiosity, Mary Lou,
:03:14
who's been
making your kids' beds...
:03:16
while you've been out selling
your book these past three months?
:03:19
My job was to supply
a steady diet of raw meat...
:03:22
to satisfy Diane's
Emmy-clad ambitions.
:03:25
Hi, Donald. Did you hear?
We've gone national.
:03:27
Thanks.
Well, it's a new format.
:03:29
We're just starting up
major exposure,
:03:31
and I think it's
right up Hillary's alley.
:03:33
Oh, she'd be among the first. I'm lining up
great company. Trust me, everyone wants on.
:03:36
My only colleague in this quest...
:03:39
was our writer, producer and
pathological womanizer Eddie Alden.
:03:42
How are we doin'?
:03:44
Publisher's having a coronary.
:03:46
- That good, huh?
- You book 'em, I cook 'em.
:03:48
Right on. Yeah.
:03:51
Thank you very much. We are
here talking to Mary Lou Corkle.
:03:54
Any progress with Cuba?
:03:56
Well, just keep trying.
I swear to God.
:03:59
This Castro thing is gonna kill me.
I mean, it is insane.
:04:02
- She will not let it go.
- Forget Castro. Come on.
:04:04
- I mean, what you want is a more creative angle.
- Such as?
:04:07
- Elena Villagolla.
- Who?
:04:10
One of the women the C.I.A. Hired to
try and kill him back in the sixties.
:04:14
Excuse me. I believe this is
a smoke-free building.
:04:17
Blow me. Apparently, the C.I.A. Cooked up
this death oil that could pass as perfume.
:04:22
The idea was she'd rub it on, Castro
would be kissin' her and lickin' her...
:04:26
- Don't editorialize.
- Sorry. He was supposed to croak right after.
:04:29
Eddie could find the sex
factor in just about any subject.
:04:33
He, of course,
considered this a gift.
:04:36
- Nina, you left these earrings in my bathroom.
- You don't waste any time.
:04:40
- Cynic.
- Slut.
:04:42
But if Eddie was enough
to make me lose hope in all men,
:04:46
it only took one
to bring it back again.
:04:48
- Hey, Rick.
- How you doin', Eddie?
:04:50
You are the only one I
haven't met yet. I'm Ray Brown.
:04:54
- This is our new executive
producer. - Oh, from Washington.
:04:58
I saw that piece you produced
for Newsline. That was brilliant.
