- [ Intercom Buzzes ]
- [ woman ] Mr. Block?
:46:03
- Mr. McNulty to see you.
- Send him in.
:46:09
McNulty, good. Look, this should
cover your up-front expenses.
:46:13
Go up to Maine,
get me all the dirt on Novak.
:46:16
No girl like that would swear off love
just to get ahead in the workforce.
:46:19
Somewhere, some time,
some guy hurt her.
:46:22
I need to find him so I can prove
I'm right and nail my exposé.
:46:25
Gladly. That broad's book
is bad for business.
:46:29
Husbands don't want
their wives tailed anymore.
:46:31
They know if she's sneaking out now,
she's just looking for a job.
:46:34
[ Phone Rings ]
:46:36
Hello. Mac.
:46:39
Mac. Mac, calm down.
:46:42
Ma-- Okay, I'll be right over.
:46:45
Quick, taste my sauce.
Too tart?
:46:48
- This is your big emergency?
- Yes!
:46:51
I invited Vikki to dinner.
:46:53
It has to be perfect so she'll find me
irresistible and I can make my big move.
:46:57
You could have made your big move
three weeks ago. I keep telling you.
:47:00
That's these Down with Love
girls' claim to fame--
:47:03
one date, no waiting.
:47:05
These Down with Love girls
may be used to having sex
the way a man does, but I'm not.
:47:10
Too sweet?
:47:14
So I guess you and Novak
have been very ''down with love.''
:47:18
I mean, you've had what--
29 dates in 23 days?
:47:22
Yeah, but I'm trying to get her
not to want to have sex with me.
:47:25
These days you've really got to play
your cards right to get a girl to say no.
:47:28
Or maybe you just like
spending time with her.
:47:31
Maybe the necessity
of all this chastity and monogamy...
:47:35
has made you realize that Barbara Novak
is your ideal potential lover.
:47:39
Come back to Earth, buddy boy.
Your cake's burning.
:47:42
- [ Alarm Buzzing ]
- [ Gasps ]
:47:49
So this is how a guy like you
does it, huh?
:47:52
No, I don't do it, but if I did do it,
I'd do what I'm doing.
:47:55
Which reminds me
of something I didn't do.
:47:57
- I have to call Vikki
and give her my address.
- I've got a better idea.
