That Girl (1966–1971): Season 2, Episode 24 - Great Guy - full transcript

Sorry, folks.

I like a little mayhem
as much as the next guy,

but you're just gonna have to
work in pantomime for a while.

Who is it?

It's me.

Pete!

Come on in.

Oh, don't tell me.

The show closed?

In Washington.

Oh, how awful!



That was our best review.

Now, Pete, I don't want
you to be discouraged by this.

Not a chance. Remember me?

Hard-hearted Anna.

My real problem is I
sublet my apartment

for the run of the show.

My tenants were
very nice about it,

but they need a week to
find someplace else to live.

So? Stay with me.

Oh, that would be
great for tonight.

I'll find a hotel tomorrow.

Sorry, my shortest
invitation is for seven days.

Take it or leave it.

I warn you,



once I have my
shoes off, you got me.

Terrific.

Make yourself
comfortable. I'll check you in.

Can I use the phone? Sure.

I want to call George and give
him the number where to reach me.

George?

Who's George?

A fella in the show I met.

We sort of saw a
lot of each other.

Pete!

A romance?

I'm not sure. I never
had one before.

Oh, here it is.

Well, what is it?

This commercial I'm in.

I've been waiting
all night for it.

Here it is.

Where are you? In that crowd?

What do you do
about summer colds?

There I am! I'm that girl!

♪♪

It was really, really beautiful.

So in Washington,
George and I were dating

every wonderful night.

I knew it was bound to
happen sooner or later.

The right guy just
had to come along

and have sense enough to realize

what a terrific girl you are.

I'll tell you something:

it looks to me like your
single days are numbered.

It's nice of you to say so.

I'll tell you something else:

Donald's coming over
for dinner tomorrow night.

I'm making a meatloaf.

Why don't you invite George?
We'll make it a foursome.

Oh, I'd love to!

I can't wait to shake his
hand and congratulate him

on his excellent
taste in choosing you.

And his courage.

Courage?

He's gonna eat my meatloaf.

I want to tell you, it
was a real rotten play.

The only good thing
about it is that we met.

Aww...

I can't tell me how
happy I am for both of you.

Isn't that right, Donald?

Yeah, right.

Tickled to death
for both of you.

Hey, Pete.

Yes, George?

You going to finish that?

Oh, no, no, George.
I'm full. You take it.

I hate to see
anything go to waste.

Would you like my potato?

Sure, throw it on.

Oh, well, I'm sorry I don't
have anything to offer.

I guess I must have
been awfully hungry.

It's okay, it's the thought
that counts, you know.

You know, it was in Boston
that it really happened.

What happened in Boston, George?

Well, that we found out that
we like the same kind of things

like jogging around in the park.

Jogging?

Yeah, jogging. You know.

See, I like to do some
roadwork in the morning.

And think she'd
stay behind? Nah.

Nah?

No, she'd come out,
jog around with me,

two, three laps around the park.

It was my pleasure, George.

Well, you're a
fortunate man, George.

I'd jog if you'd ask me.

That's when I first
noticed her built.

Oh!

Great legs.

Oh!

Kick a football 40
yards into the wind.

I'm telling you,

this kid here,
she's a great guy.

Heh, yes.

Guess you could put it that way.

Want my bread
and butter, George?

No, I don't want to
make a pig of myself.

We've got coffee
and cake coming up.

That's right.

I've got to leave some room

for everybody
else's desert, right?

I'll get it.

I'll help you.

No, no, you stay put.

I ate all the food, I'm
going to carry all the dishes.

I'll stack.

Thank you, Don.

Hey, Pete!

See that?

Fast hands.

She's really got great moves.

Isn't he something?

Well, you can certainly see
he thinks the world of you.

Wham!

You slugged her?

Yeah, but she wouldn't get hurt.

Ain't you ever seen
16-ounce gloves?

Only if they come
with a 16-ounce purse.

I mean boxing gloves.

George, is that what you
do when you go out on a date,

jog around the park?

Play football?

Box?

Yeah.

There ain't many girls
who go that route with you.

I certainly don't
know if I could.

That's because you're
a different type of a girl.

You're a girl-girl.

Well, what's Pete?

Well, let me put it this way.

Pete's a great guy
and you're a pussycat.

Isn't it great that
Pete's found somebody

that really cares for her?

Oh, Donald, Pete
needs somebody to love,

not a sparring partner.

Everybody expresses
affection in his own way.

Yeah, well, if
George isn't careful,

he's going to
express Pete to death.

For heaven's sake,
Pete's a woman,

not a commando.

Well, maybe that's
George's way with all women.

Oh, no, it isn't.

Not when he's in here
calling me a pussycat.

He called you a pussycat?

He certainly did.

What do you say to that?

Well, nothing to him.

If Pete can't lick him,
what chance would I have?

Donald.

Oh, honey, I think
George and Pete

are perfect for each other.

So what if they want
to go through life

knocking each other's brains out

if that's gonna make
them happy as larks.

All punchy people
are happy as larks.

Happier.

I'm sure when they're alone

they have their warm
and tender moments.

I hope so.

It's hard to picture.

Come on, honey,
let's go back in.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

It was a lot of fun.

Listen, it was a pleasure
meeting both of you.

And don't forget the
football game Sunday.

I got a lot of personal
friends on the squad.

Oh, that's great!

And then after the game, we
can all have something to eat

at a warm, intimate little spot.

Sure, we'll grab a sandwich
down in the locker room.

Pete!

Great!

Beautiful, tiger.

Beautiful. Good night.

Good night.

Bye.

Well?

Well, I like him.

Isn't he something?

He certainly is.

Well, I've had my moment.

Now you have one on me.

I'll go start the dishes.

See what I mean? See
what I'm talking about?

Oh, come on, honey.

Now, don't make
such a federal case.

Well, why is he
always trying to hit her?

That's play.

Love play.

I see.

I gotta go. I'll call
you tomorrow,

and don't worry so much.

Good night.

What are you doing?

Just trying to show you
how crazy I am about you.

Good night.

Good night.

Another round, he
might have had me.

What are you doing?

This is good for your blood.

Can't be too good for your head.

The whole idea, George
says, is to slosh your veins.

Eww, how do you do that?

Well, first you stand
on your head for a while,

and the blood that's
been laying around

in your feet all day goes
back up to your brain.

Then, when you stand up and run,

the blood spreads
back through your body.

It's a way of life with George.

And speaking of George, Pete,

I'd like to speak to
you about George.

Okay! Come on.

Look, I don't want you to think

I'm meddling into your life.

Go ahead, you're entitled.

It's just that, well,
my only concern is...

Pete!

Go ahead, I can hear you!

My only concern
is your happiness.

I know that, Ann.

And I just don't want you to

rush into anything
without being sure.

Sure about what?

Well, sure about how
you feel about George

and how he feels about you.

I think I'm sure and I
think George is sure, too.

If you think you're
sure, you can't be sure.

You got a point.

I mean, life isn't all one
carefree prizefight, you know.

There's a lot more.

You and George have only
known each other a little while.

Suppose yours tastes
are just too different.

Oh, don't worry, Ann.

No man has ever made
me feel like this before.

I sleep like a baby every night.

Well, as long as
you're happy, I'm happy.

Oh, thank you, Ann.

What am I running for?
I'm not going with George.

And that's my point.

If Clanky led Red
Dog more often,

it would've forced the
Packers into their running game.

George, look, the Giants
tried to blitz all afternoon,

and it didn't work.

Yeah, you saw the way
Obstremski was blocking him out.

Yeah, but if Clanky had
faked to the right just once,

he would've run right
through them, right, Ann?

Don't go by me, I had
enough trouble all day

trying to figure out
who had the ball.

Well don't feel bad,
honey. So did the Giants.

Well, it's their own fault.

What do you mean?

They're so disorganized.

Every time they start a new
play, they have to go into a huddle

and have a whole
big discussion about it.

If they'd rehearse
before the game,

they'd know what
they were doing.

Just wait a minute. Let
me show you something.

I'll be Clanky.

Suppose this
chair is Obstremski.

Time out! That is
not an Obstremski.

That's an antique, and it
hasn't been paid for yet.

All right. Okay.

Pete, you be Obstremski. Right.

All right, here we go.

Set! 24, 22, 7...
Now watch the fake.

Hut, hut.

Oh, my gosh!

I'm all right! I'm all right!

I'm all right.

Did you see that?
You see that block?

That's talent.

Speaking of talent, guess what
we're having for dinner tonight.

Ribs?

No, linguini with clam sauce.

That's my favorite.

You really got yourself
a little winner here, pal.

Thank you very much.

He does not have a
little winner there, pal.

You do.

Pete made the linguini.

You can cook?

Linguini?

It's one of my best dishes.

A girl that can block like
Obstremski can cook, too?

This I gotta see.

Into the kitchen.
I'm gonna help ya.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

Oh, I'll get a kick out of it.
I'll open the clams for you.

Maybe we'll find a pearl.

That explains it.

What?

Any guy who doesn't
know the difference

between a clam and an oyster

can't be expected
to know the difference

between a boy and a girl.

Pete, you know something?

There ain't a human being alive

can make better
linguini and clam sauce.

You know, a man sits
down to a meal like this,

and he's got to
start thinking...

Would you like Donald
and me to leave the room?

No!

No, it ain't necessary.

Pete,

any time you want to
open your own diner,

I'm ready to put up the money.

Thank you, George. That's okay.

Okay, you guys, you
ready for the hockey game?

Listen, why don't
you two go on alone?

I haven't mentioned it,

but I've been feeling
a little feverish.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, honey, you do
look a little feverish.

Yeah, I don't think I
ought to sit near a lot of ice.

Are you sure?

Sure.

Oh, gee, that's a shame.

I'll give you a rain check.

Take care of the little lady.

Yeah, right. Right.

Come on, Pete.

I'll race you to the bus stop.

You're on, George.

Good night. See you later, kids.

Good night. Have a good time.

Good night.

Oh, come on, honey,
don't be so sad.

I think Pete's got
him on the hook.

Oh, Donald, he
didn't offer her a ring.

He offered her a diner.

He didn't lay a finger
on her all evening.

No, but he didn't call
her a pussycat, either.

Oh, I can't look.

Tell me when they get through
driving the wooden stake

through his heart.

Honey, you've seen this
movie every night this week.

If you don't want to see me
in the commercial, Donald,

just say so.

Who's that?

It's probably Pete.

George wouldn't bring
her home this early.

George brought me home early.

Pete, what happened?

Did you have a fight?

There wasn't any fight.
It was just my big mouth.

What did you say?

Well, we had just left the game

and I let George beat
me to the bus stop.

That was sweet.

Well, I'd say it was generous.

Anyway, we got on the bus.

We were just talking about
how pearls come from oysters,

not clams, and how crazy I
am about children in general,

and the first thing you know...

You proposed to George?

You didn't.

What did he do?

He took me right home
and left me at the door.

Aw, Pete, I'm so sorry.

Oh, don't be.

I never really
expected anything else.

Good night.

Good night, Pete.

Good night.

All right, Donald, now
here's what we're gonna do.

Ann...

Now, Donald, Pete
needs all the help

we can give her while she's
going through withdrawal.

Withdrawal?

Getting George
out of her system.

You know, cold turkey.

Honey, don't you think
you ought to let people

run their own lives?

Donald, I am certainly
not going to interfere

with Pete's life.

I'm just trying to make sure

that she meets a nice guy,
gets married, settles down,

has a few children, a nice home.

Oh, oh, well, fine.

Just as long as you're
not gonna interfere.

All right, now, the first
thing we have to do is

you find a guy for her.

What do you mean, me?

Can't you not
interfere on your own?

I would but time
is of the essence.

We've got to start right
off with tomorrow night.

Some nice fellow,
dinner, dancing.

The only way for her
to get over George

is to play the field.

Well, she's certainly
had enough training.

I'll tell Pete the good news.

Wait a minute, what good news?

Pete? Pete!

Yeah?

Pete?

Here I am.

Oh!

Listen, I want to ask you:

what are you doing
tomorrow night?

Nothing.

But I think I can get out of it.

Oh, that's great!

Donald has this friend
he wants you to meet.

Oh, he's a delightful young guy.

Successful young executive
type. You know, very good-looking,

clean cut, good dancer,
great sense of humor.

Blue eyes.

Will you do Donald
a special favor

and consent to go out with him?

Well, if you need the help.

Oh, isn't that great?

He's just dying to meet
you, isn't he, Donald?

Oh, yes, dying. Dying.

Well, I'll do what I can.

Good.

Good night.

Night. Thanks.

Oh, Donald, is
everything all set?

Yeah, I got Myron,
the little sneak.

Donald, the helping
friend is not a sneak.

Wait a minute, let
me tell you the deal.

If Myron doesn't like her,
I've got to pick up the tab

for the whole evening.

Why, that little sneak.

Just a minute!

We're ready.

Well, here we
are, right on time.

Glen Davidson,
this is Ann Marie.

How do you do?

Hello.

And this is your date Pete.

Oh, thank you.

Ann, do you have a pin?

Oh, certainly. Come
back in the bedroom.

I'll get you one.

Okay, okay. I'll
pay for the dinner.

And the flowers.

Well, what an exciting evening.

Wasn't that fun?

Well, it's late. I guess
I'll say good night.

Yeah, good night, Donald.

We had a marvelous time.

Didn't we, Pete?

Oh yeah, great. I
hope Charlie did, too.

Well, his name is Glen.
Charlie was last night.

Oh, I'm sorry. It gets
tough to keep track.

But I really had a swell time.

Well, who wouldn't?

Four different men in a row.

You're really swinging, Pete.

I've never seen a
girl look so happy.

Have you, Donald?

Didn't I tell you there
were a lot of fish in the sea?

I guess you're right, Ann.

Thanks again.

Good night, kids.

Good night.

Who've you got
for tomorrow night?

I don't know.
Whoever I can afford.

I'm coming.

Oh.

Hi, Ann, can I come in?

Pete's not here, George.

Yeah, I know.

How is she?

Staying in shape?

Yeah, great shape.

I guess she don't want
to see me no more, right?

Well, can you blame her?

After the way you acted?

Oh, boy, I... I don't
know what happened.

I guess I kind of panicked.

It threw me, everything
all in one night.

It was a shock to learn
that clams don't have pearls,

and then she's talking
about kids and marriage.

I ran! I've been a
bachelor so long,

I couldn't help it.

But you could have
called and apologized.

I did nothing but call!

Four nights in a row, no answer.

Where was everybody?

Out dancing.

No, I mean where was Pete?

Out dancing.

You and Pete been
out dancing together?

Of course not.

I've been with Donald

and Pete's been with
several charming young men.

Several charm...
Now wait a minute!

I want to talk to her. I
got to see her tonight.

Tonight?

Oh, gee, George, I don't know.

I have to check her calendar.

Please, Ann, I want her to
know that I really miss her.

I never knew a fella
could miss a guy

that way I miss Pete.

Do you really mean that, George?

I swear it, Ann.

Now, here's what we're gonna do:

you be here tonight at 8:30.

Tonight, 8:30. On the dot.

Oh, Ann, I appreciate this.

You're not such a
bad guy yourself.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I should've guessed.

Figures a pussycat like you
has gotta have a glass jaw.

I want you know

I went through not just
Newsview magazine,

but the entire
Newsview building,

from the company president
to the stoker in the basement.

It is no dice.

Donald, guess who's coming
to take Pete out tonight?

I don't know. I can
only tell you who won't.

George.

I don't understand.

You don't have to understand.

The only thing that's
important, Donald,

is that George
really cares for her.

Wait till you see her!

I fixed her hair, I helped
her pick out a new dress,

a new pair of shoes, the works!

She looks like a dream!

She's the most feminine
little pussycat you ever saw.

George is gonna be bowled over.

Isn't that terrific?

I'm tickled to death.

Almost as much
for Pete as for me.

Oh, that must be George.

Pete, he's here!

Hi, George.

Hi, Ann.

Don. George.

Oh, come on in.

Pete's just putting on
the finishing touches.

I'll go get her.

Thanks.

How you been, George?

Not so good.

I think I put on
a couple pounds.

You know, there are times
when a man doesn't like

jogging around the park alone.

George...

She's ready.

Pete?

Pete, is that you?

It's me, George.

What happened to you?

What do you mean?

I mean, you look different.

We've been working all day
to make me look different.

Why?

I thought you wanted a pussycat.

What for?

You meet a lot of pussycats.

It's only once in your
lifetime you meet a great guy.

Oh, George!

Donald... Sweetie.

Do me a favor,
go back and put on

a sweatshirt and some slacks
and a decent pair of shoes.

You go bowling in those heels,

and you're gonna
scratch the alley.

They'll never let us in again.

I will, George. I will.

It'll only take a second.

I hope you don't
think I don't appreciate

what you're trying to
do for Pete and me,

but I'm telling you,
there's just no way

to improve on the real thing.

I'm ready.

Hey, that's more like it.

Sure you guys won't
come along with us?

No, no. You go ahead.

Thanks just the same.

No, no, thank you, Ann.
Thanks for everything.

You too, Don.

Uh, bye.

Bye.

Donald, are you all right?

Yeah, fine, fine.

A little minor
surgery, I'll be fine.

Does your heart
good, doesn't it?

Yeah.

There goes a
couple of great guys.
