That Girl (1966–1971): Season 4, Episode 11 - Kiss That Girl Goodbye - full transcript

You want some more? I'm full.

Oh, I couldn't.

Well, maybe just a smidge.

How can a girl look
like Audrey Hepburn

and eat like Jackie Gleason?

When's your dad arriving?

Tomorrow morning.

He's just gonna use my
place to freshen up, though.

He's coming in for a day of
convention and inspection.

For what?

Well, the convention
is for his restaurant.



The inspection is
for my apartment.

There's a bit of the
army sergeant in daddy.

That's why you've been
dusting and polishing for days.

[laughs] Yeah. It does
keep me on my toes.

Anyway, he's going back
tomorrow night on the 10:15.

Whatever. I really enjoy his
company, honey. He's terrific.

If he wanted to hang around
for the 10:18, it would be great.

Oh, Donald.

Excuse me. Aren't
you Donald Hollinger?

Yes. Yes, I am.

How are things at Newsview?

Uh, fine. Uh, fine,
fine, thank you.

How are things down
at, uh... your office?

Oh, going along
nicely, thank you.



Good, good.

I don't think I've seen
you in here before.

Do you eat here often?

No, I've never been
to Nino's before,

but I know you eat here a lot.

Oh.

I'm sorry. I'd like
you to meet...

You don't have to tell me.

She is that very talented
young actress from Brewster

who lives on East 87th
Street near Madison

and has a pretty good appetite.

I know all about that girl.

♪♪ [theme]

You... You know me?

I believe your father still
runs a restaurant in Brewster.

Yes.

You'll have to excuse me.
I've very bad with names.

I'm sure we've met...

We haven't met, but I've
been planning to contact you.

I'm Bob Harrison,

and I'd appreciate it if
you'd call me in the morning.

Here's my card.

Well, it's been nice seeing
you and enjoy your dinner.

Nice to have seen you.

Who is he? Who's Bob Harrison?

I have no idea.

"Robert Henry Harrison, World
Publications, Incorporated."

Oh! What's wrong?

And I asked him how things
were down at the office!

That was nice. What's
the matter with that?

He owns the office and
the building and the block!

He does?

He's the head of a
publishing empire.

He owns magazines, TV stations,
newspapers, baseball teams.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, Donald, he
knew all about you.

I'll bet he's gonna offer
you some terrific job.

Well... why don't
we wait and see?

Well, he's obviously done
a lot of research on you...

and he's probably found
out that you're the brightest

young journalist
in New York City.

You're so smart... and clever.

Whatever you do, you're
better at it than anybody else,

and I'm being robbed. What?

Donald, look.

There's a light under that door.

I didn't leave any
light on when we left.

Honey, it's
probably your father.

Shh! It's not my father.

He's not coming until
tomorrow morning.

[footsteps, coughing]

Aah! Shh!

Stand back.

What are you... What
are you gonna do?

I'm gonna see if
the door's locked.

I'll just...

Be careful!

Shh!

Aah!

Hollinger!

Daddy! What are you doing here?

At the moment,
I'm going into shock.

I thought you were a burglar!

But I knew it was you.

Is that some kind
of a hippie greeting?

No, no-You might have killed me!

Oh, Daddy! You
should have called

if you were coming in tonight.

Really? Why?

Listen, I better go now.
I got a big day tomorrow.

Oh? Who are you attacking?

Oh, Daddy, wait until you hear
about Robert Henry Harrison.

Who's Robert Henry Harrison?

Well, he's only the owner
of World Publications,

and he's gonna se Donald
tomorrow in his office.

Yeah, I better go now
and get a good night's rest.

Good night, Mr. Marie.
Good night, Hollinger.

Oh, Donald, let me know the first thing
you hear anything from Mr. Harrison.

I will.

I'll bet you a dollar he
offers you a new job.

All right. But if you're gonna
make a bet, make it a good one.

How about $3,000?

I don't have $3,000.

Neither do I.

Okay, let's make it for 5,000.

Bet.

Good night, sweetheart,
and don't worry.

About the job? About the
apartment. It's very neat.

Good night.

Very bight fellow my Donald.

Bright? He could
certainly learn a lot from me

about how to kiss
a girl good night.

[intercom buzzes]

Yes?

Oh, fine. I'll speak to him.

Hello?

Uh, Mr. Harrison?
This is Don Hollinger.

Well, it's good
to hear from you.

Don, I'll get
right to the point.

I've got a proposition I'd
like to discuss with you.

There's an opening
here in our organization,

and we think that you
might just fill the bill.

Uh...

well, that... that sounds
very interesting, Mr. Harrison.

Uh, I'd like to
hear more about it.

Well, good. Let's have
lunch today at Nino's.

Sounds fine. 1:00?

Fine. I'll see you there.

Uh, right. I'll see you then.

And thanks for
calling, Mr. Harrison.

He didn't call me. I called him.

[intercom buzzes]

Yeah? Yeah, all right.

Hi, honey.

No, he just hung up.

He didn't say anything.

We're gonna have
lunch together. Yeah.

Yeah, okay, sweetheart.

Listen, I'll stop by
afterwards if there's time.

Huh?

I... I don't know, sweetheart.
What's the difference?

Nothing special.

Look, you'll see when
I stop by, honey, okay?

It's... ahem... it's the, um...

Herringbone...

with the, uh, red shirt
and a pair of black slacks...

and the tie you gave me.

Yes, that's... Honey,
with the orange stripes.

A blue handkerchief.

Yeah, okay. All
right, sweetheart.

Yeah. Bye-bye.

Did she approve of
your outfit for the day?

[laughs] She did. What's up?

How about lunch?

Oh, I'm sorry, Jerry.

I... I can't. I, uh, I
have an appointment.

Who with?

Well, I, uh... ahem...
I... I can't, uh...

Ah!

A secret luncheon.

And you can't tell
your best friend

who'll find out about it anyway

when your best girl
tells her best friend

who happens to be
my wife who'll tell me,

and I'll tell you 'cause
you're my best friend.

Shut the door.

[laughs] Honest.

Well, they wouldn't just offer
him the same job over there

that he has at Newsview,

unless, of course, it
was for more money.

You mean it might
be a promotion?

Yeah. I was thinking,
like, an associate editor?

Oh, Ann, that
would be marvelous!

Jerry's always talking about becoming
an associate editor at Newsview

and all the things he could
do with the extra money.

The little things he would buy:

jewelry, furs.

Oh, how sweet! Yeah.

Jerry's always wanted a
ring and a raccoon coat.

Well, I certainly hope it
is a great offer for Donald.

I mean, not that he isn't
happy where he is now, he is.

But this would be
just so good for his ego

to get an offer from
another company, you know?

Is it 1:00 yet?

I admire that, Hollinger.

Loyalty is a marvelous trait.

Well, in all honesty,

I can't say I've been
unhappy at Newsview.

I've enjoyed working there, and I
think they've been pleased with me.

Well, I'm sure they have been...

just as I'm sure we will be.

Don, I have an offer for you

that I think will be
pretty hard to turn down.

The only question is: associate
editor of which magazine?

Well, how many magazines do
they have at World Publications?

They've got a sports magazine
and a fashion magazine

and a theater
magazine... [gasps]

Ruthie, would that be exciting?

The theater magazine?

You'd get to see everything.

You'd get tickets
to all the shows.

[knock on door] Let me get that.

Oh, hi, Daddy.
Hello, sweetheart.

Hi, Mr. Marie. How's
the convention going?

Fine. They're out having lunch.

You want a bite? No,
thanks. I will have some coffee.

Okay.

I just thought I'd come
back here and pack

so I can relax with you tonight
after the convention ends.

Hear anything from Hollinger?

No, not yet. He's having
lunch with Mr. Harrison.

He's gonna come
by if there's time.

I wonder what the
job is, if it is a job offer.

Yeah, we were just
guessing ourselves.

That's it in a nutshell, Don.

It's a lot more money
than you're making now.

First, I'm sure it's gonna
be for more money.

And we want to make you an
associate editor within a year.

Second, I'm willing to bet

it's for an associate editorship
at one of their magazines.

And finally, and I know all the
reservations you'll have about this part,

but I want you to think it over
thoroughly before you decide.

And I'm sure he's gonna be in
charge of their theater magazine.

For the next 18 months,

we want you to be chief of our overseas
correspondents bureau based in Paris.

Won't that be terrific?

Where is he, Daddy? He's
not gonna have time to stop by?

So he'll stop by after work.

Now let's see. Pajamas,
toothbrush, jelly.

Jelly?

Yeah, your mother thought
she was sending me to camp.

Packed my favorite
jelly. You want it?

Uh, no, thank you, Daddy.

You keep it as part of your
permanent traveling ensemble.

[knock on door]
Oh, that's Donald!

Donald! What happened?
Tell me everything!

Was if for more money?
Well, honey, he...

Wait a minute!
Don't tell me that!

Tell me from the very second
you walked into his office.

Did he stand up for
you when he came in?

Ann, have you seen my razor?

No, I haven't,
Daddy. What, Donald?

It's not in the bathroom.
It's not in my suitcase.

Where else could it be?

Why don't you look by the bed?

Good idea.

Sweetheart, look, I don't
have time for all the details now.

I have to get
back to the office.

I knew you were
curious so I just thought

I'd drop by and tell you
generally what he said.

Right! Just give
me the generally.

Well, honey, he offered me...

Hollinger, do you
like currant jelly?

What?

Currant jelly. Homemade.
Mrs. Marie made it.

Well, if she made it, I'll take
it, sir. Thank you very much.

It's delicious. She makes
it a very special way.

Daddy, please.
Donald's in a hurry.

You're right. I forgot.
Go ahead, Hollinger.

What did he offer you?

Honey, look, why don't
I explain it all tonight

when we have time
and we can relax?

Just tell me the
important parts.

Well, uh, he offered me
an associate editorship.

[gasps] Oh, Donald!

Oh, that's fantastic! Daddy!

That's wonderful, but
I'm not going to hug him.

That means a raise, doesn't it?

Yeah, right, honey.
Oh, Donald, that's terrific!

What else? Anything else?

Look, I'll tell you
the rest tonight.

Are you gonna take the job?

Honey, to tell you the truth,

I haven't even
given it any thought.

I just rushed right over here.

Yeah, you're
right. Go on. Go on.

Just tell me the rest!

I mean, just generally.

You know, just passingly.

Honey, look, I really
don't want to start

because, as I said, I
haven't given it any thought.

Just one word. I
mean, the key word.

And then I can think about it,

and then when you
come back tonight,

we'll both have a
head thought on it.

Ann... Oh, Donald,
please tell me.

All right. Honey, it would
involve moving to Paris.

France? Yes, honey, right...

Well, Donald, what kind
of a thing is that to tell me

when you're
running out the door?

Honey... Yeah,
you're right. Go. Go on.

Go on. We'll talk later tonight.

I'll see you about 6.

How do you like that?

Sweetheart, he said he didn't
want to tell you until tonight.

Yeah, well, I can
certainly see why.

Now, Ann...

Oh, you're right, Daddy.
What's the matter with me?

I told him to tell me
what the man said,

and he told me
what the man said.

He didn't tell me what he said.

He told me what the man said.

I'm sure he must have
said something to the man,

and tonight, I'll ask
him what he said,

and he'll tell me what
he said to the man

and then we'll see what he says to
me about what he said to the man.

It's that simple.

Oh, what a day.

You're having meetings
about other jobs,

and I'm covering a doggie
fashion show at the Garden.

What happened at the meeting?

You did get a job offer, right?

Uh, right.

That's all you're gonna tell me?

Is it a move upstairs?

Further than that. It's a
move across the ocean.

London?

Paris.

Paris? You're gonna go to Paris?

What kind of a question is that?

Of course he's
gonna go to Paris.

You bachelors have all the luck.

Don, you're gonna love Paris.

Just wait until you see all
those pretty mademoiselles.

What?

The mademoiselles.

Ah, yes. I remember it well.

I didn't know
you'd been to Paris.

Of course I was, in the war.

The war? You were
too young for the war.

Ruthie and I were
there on our honeymoon.

That was some war.

She caught you looking
at those mademoiselles.

You guessed it.

I gotta go. You coming over?

Later. I gotta
finish this article

and get it upstairs.

Oh! And I gotta call Ann
and tell her I'll be late.

Thanks for reminding me. I better
call Ruth and tell her I'm on my way.

I'll see you later.

Oh, ho ho! You crazy kid!

Well, wait a minute.

You mean Donald
actually told Jerry

he's definitely going to Paris?

Well, that's the
feeling I got from Jerry.

Sure.

Sure.

Sure.

Sure, right?

I'm not sure. What?

Well, I mean just
four hours ago,

Donald was standing right
here, and he didn't know.

He hadn't given
it a single thought.

Now three hours later,
he's given it a lot of thought.

Well, thank you for
the information, Ruthie.

How are you?

Oh, Ann, wait till
Don comes over.

Jerry talks sometimes.
Yeah, you're right.

What's the matter with
me, jumping to conclusions?

I should be ashamed of myself.

Don't be silly. It's a
reasonable conclusion.

I didn't mean it
the way it sounded.

[knock on door] Yes?

Ruth, I'm home.

Ann, by the way,
Pierre will be late.

Pierre?

Monsieur Hollinger.
Didn't he call?

Yes, he called and
said he'd be late.

Just before you called
Ruthie, as a matter of fact,

and said everything else.

Then he told you
he's going to Paris?

No, he said nothing of the sort.

Well, why would he hide a
thing like that? I mean, uh...

It was terrific, Elaine.
A great meeting.

And I'm gonna take you with me.

Listen, do me a
favor. I'm late enough.

Call Ann and tell her
I'm on my way. Night.

[phone rings]

Hello. Oh, hi, Elaine.

Don's on his way home.

And better open
up the champagne.

He's no longer a feature
writer, he's an associate editor.

Are... Are you sure?
Did he tell you that?

Not only did he tell me,

but you can
congratulate me, too.

I'm the secretary of
an associate editor.

He's taking me with him. Bye.

Uh, bye.

Hello. Hi, Daddy.

What's the matter, sweetheart?

Oh, nothing.

Donald's secretary just called.

You know, the cute,
sweet, charming Elaine.

What did she say?

He took the job.

[crying] Oh, Daddy.

[door closes]

[crying]

[door opens] Look, honey,

despite what his secretary said,

I still can't believe
he'd leave you.

I know a little
something about men,

and this one's in love with you.

Besides, what man
could ever leave you?

You're prejudiced.

Well, maybe a little,

but it's plain for
any person to see

what a charming, intelligent,
loveable girl you are.

[laughs] You left out talented.

That's my girl!

Now don't you worry, honey.

He isn't going anywhere.

Maybe you're right.

I mean, Donald just
wouldn't decide to pick up

and take off to Paris
without even talking to me.

I mean, a man just
wouldn't... would he?

Of course not.

I mean, it's not like we're
talking about Albany.

We're talking about Paris.

I mean, it'd be different
if I just didn't even...

matter to him.

Ann, what are you doing?

It keeps me from crying.

Doesn't it also keep
you from breathing?

Daddy, don't make me laugh.

At least you can wait to
hear what Don has to say.

Yeah. That should
be some conversation.

Well, if he is going to Paris

then he's certainly gonna
see it doesn't matter to me.

I mean, I certainly
don't want to stand

in between Donald
and his career.

As a matter of fact, I'm
just tickled pink for him.

And when he comes over,

I'm gonna be very
brave and smile and...

[crying]

Oh, Daddy, what am I
gonna do without him?

It's times like this when I wish
my little girl had never grown up.

Well, she did.

When you were little, I used to be
able to make you laugh, remember?

I'd tell you your face
would crack if you smiled.

I remember. I'm
too old for that now.

Are you sure?

I think I see a crack starting.

[laughs]

Oh, Daddy.

You're terrific.

I used to have
another good one, too.

Now what was it?

You used to tell me don't
think about polar bears.

Don't think about polar bears.

Yeah. After an hour or so, you
used to come to me and say,

"I can't think of
anything but polar bears."

And then you'd say, "Okay,
you can think about polar bears.

But for goodness sake,
don't think about bananas."

And the whole thing
would start all over again.

[knock on door]

Oh, Daddy! There's Donald!

Don't worry. I'm not leaving.

My train doesn't go until 10:15.

Okay, but don't tell
him I've been crying.

You just dry your
eyes, I'll get the door.

Hi, Mr. Marie. Hollinger.

Where's Ann?

She's in her room.

Ann? Hollinger's here.

Oh.

Oh, hello, Donald.

How nice of you to drop by.

For a minute there, I thought there
was another Donald in the room.

[laughs]

You two clean very well.
Do you have Thursday's free?

I did say I was
coming by, didn't I?

You're mad because I'm late.

Donald, I am not mad.

Well, didn't Elaine call?

[crying] Yes, Elaine called.

So why are you mad?

She's not mad.

She's mad.

Honey, I know that trick
with your fingers on your nose.

You're crying.

Uh, she has hay fever.

Always has, since
she was a child.

Hay fever. Hay fever.

And dust makes her eyes red.

You should never dust, dear.

Sit down, sweetheart.

Hey, I'll... I'll tell you what.

I'll go back outside
again and come back in,

and I'll say, "Hi, Ann, honey.

Hi, Mr. Marie. How are you?"

And you say, "Quick, tell us
what happened to you today."

Quick, tell us what
happened to you today.

It was just terrific.

I'm going to be as
associate editor.

I just knew you had
it in you, Donald.

And they're gonna
give me a raise.

Wonderful, but aren't
you leaving something out?

I don't think so.

[crying]

Honey.

Honey, why are you crying?

I always cry at promotions.

She's crying because
you're going to Paris.

She's afraid you'll
get sick from the water.

Daddy!

Now let me tell you
something, Hollinger.

Don't get the idea that
Ann is gonna sit here

pining away or writing letters.

There are plenty of
other fish in the sea.

I'm not going to Paris.

That has nothing to do with it.

You're not going to Paris? No.

There. What did I tell you?

He wouldn't go to Paris.

But, Donald,
Jerry said... Jerry!

And then your
secretary called...

Honey, listen to me.

After I left the
meeting with Harrison,

I went back to the
office to finish an article

and take it up to the boss.

It turns out that Newsview
knew all about Harrison's offer,

and they made me a
better one. A better one?

Yeah, they want me to
be an associate editor

in a few months
instead of a year

with an immediate
raise in salary,

as much as Harrison offered.

Oh, Donald!
Donald, that's terrific!

I'm so proud of you.

Oh, I was being so silly.

I though for sure it was all
set with World Publications.

[clears throat] Excuse me.

I've gotta go look for my razor.

[laughs] He's kinda nice.

All the men in my life are nice.

Both of them.

Well, tell me what your
boss said. What did he say?

He said he couldn't
manage without me.

Me, either.

No, no, he could
manage without you.

I'm the only one that
couldn't manage without you.

Even in Paris?
Especially in Paris.

Honey, you know how I can't
order in those French restaurants.

Oh, Donald!

Oh, no. You want
me to hold your nose?

All of me.

Good-bye.

I think if I rush, I
can make the 8:15.

Bye, Daddy.

[door opens and closes]

Okay, here we go.

A book. Four words.

Valley Of The Dolls.

Donald!

Wrong?

Right. But I had all the actions

worked out for all the words.

I'm sorry, honey. You
go ahead. Do it again.

First word.

Oh, never mind. You
already know what it is.

You go. You go. Okay.

All right.

Wait a minute. What?

Aren't you gonna write it
down on a piece of paper?

Why? Well,
suppose I get it right.

I mean, you could just
say no and change it,

make it a different one.

Ann! You don't trust me?

A man who loves you?

Who wouldn't go
to Paris without you?

Who needs you to
read French menus?

This is different.
This is a game.

Ann!

Oh, never mind. I'm
just kidding. Go on.

A movie.

One word. Cleopatra!

Uh, wrong.

What is it? Quick,
quick! What is it?

Uh... uh...

How To Succeed In
Business Without Really Trying.

That's one word?

Howtosucceedinbusiness-

Oh... One word!
