...that if I went unseen,
"Know" magazine's star journalist...

1:13:04
...would refuse to do
a cover story about it.

1:13:06
I knew that every time we were to meet,
you would get distracted...

1:13:10
...by one of your girlfriends
and stand me up.

1:13:12
This would give me a reason
to fight with you over the phone...

1:13:15
...and declare that I wouldn't meet
with you for 100 years.

1:13:18
And then all I would have
to do was be patient and wait...

1:13:21
...the two or three weeks it would take
for everyone in the world...

1:13:25
...to buy a copy of my bestseller.
1:13:27
And then I would begin to get the
publicity I would need for you to one:

1:13:30
See what I look like, and two:
1:13:32
See me denounce you in public
as the worst kind of man.

1:13:36
I knew that this would make you want to
get even by writing one of your exposés.

1:13:40
In order to do that, you would have to
go undercover, assume a false identity...

1:13:44
...and pretend to be the man...
1:13:45
...who would make the girl
I was pretending to be fall in love.

1:13:49
I knew that since
I was pretending to be a girl...

1:13:51
...who would have sex
on the first date...

1:13:53
...you'd have to pretend to be a man
who wouldn't have sex.

1:13:56
And in doing so, we would go out
on lots of dates...

1:14:00
...to all the best places and all
the hit shows, until finally, one night...

1:14:05
...you would take me back
to your place...

1:14:07
...that you were pretending
was someone else's...

1:14:10
...in order to get the evidence
you needed to write your exposé...

1:14:13
...by seducing me
until I said, "I love you".

1:14:19
But saying "I love you"...
1:14:21
...was also my plan.
1:14:24
I wanted to tell you the truth so that
when you heard me say "I love you"...

1:14:28
...you would know that I knew who you
were, and you would know who I was.

1:14:31
Then you, the great Catcher Block...
1:14:34
...would know that you'd been beaten
at your own game...

1:14:39
...by me, Nancy Brown,
your former secretary.

1:14:43
And I would have once and for all
set myself apart...

1:14:47
...from all the other girls you've known.
1:14:49
All those other girls
that you never really cared about.

1:14:52
By making myself someone like
the one person you really love...

1:14:58
...and admire above all others:
