Synopsis: "Honesty is the key to a successful marriage", advises counselor Annie Morgan. Ironically, the never-married Annie doesn't always follow her own advice. Media mogul Terrance Bishop invites her to come to his New Mexico ranch - with her spouse - to discuss her dream job: hosting a radio advice program. Fearing that being single will ruin her chances, Annie convinces an old college friend to pose as her husband, creating comic results. Her conscience demands the truth be told, but what will be the consequences? Annie learns the real value of her own advice: "The Truth (must) Be Told."

It was great seeing you.

Yeah. It was great seeing you, too.

Hey, you know,

you haven't changed a bit.

In fact, I would say you look better,

if that's possible.

Thank you.

Are you cold?

I could be.

- Yes. Yes. Definitely.

- Come on.

Where's your husband? I'd love to meet him.

Oh, I'm not married.

Oh.

Uh, so, what're you doing now?

Ironically, I'm a marriage

and family counselor

here in Denver.

I know. Single marriage counselor.

- Yeah.

- Is your wife here?

'Cause I'm running a special.

Oh.

No, I'm not married.

My wife passed away about three years ago.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Thanks.

You know, it's been an adjustment, but...

I mean, it's been roughest

on my little one, really.

It's been rough on all of us,

actually, but...

Uh...

Anyway, I should...

I gotta go round them up.

We better get going.

Yeah.

It was great to see you.

You too.

- Hey.

- Struck out again.

Whose coat?

Oh! Mark's coat. I better go find him.

Return it to him tomorrow.

I want to go home.

(PHONE RINGING)

(ON ANSWERING MACHINE) Hi, this is Mark.

You've reached my cell. You know what to do.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(SQUAWKING)

- Hello?

- ALEXANDER:
Yes, is this Annie Morgan?

- Uh, yes.

- Last night at the museum,

I showed you the most beautiful woman

in the world.

Oh. The guy with the cell phone issues.

I was so impressed

that I decided to interview you.

To interview me?

I'm looking for a new host for a radio show.

Denver might need what you have to offer.

Great, and you're going

to make that happen?

Run a search on Alexander J. Bishop.

I take it from the silence on your end

that you're looking at my mug shot.

(STUTTERS) Yeah, I didn't...

I mean, I thought that...

This is for a real interview? For a show?

Absolutely.

Well, why don't we meet for lunch or dinner

to talk about this?

Better idea. You hop on a plane

and come out here and spend the weekend

with me and my family

at my ranch in New Mexico.

I'll see you tomorrow.

We'll be in touch. (DISCONNECTS)

Duke, let's hunt.

As long as I'm here,

Jack has a place to be while you're at work.

And you pay what you can afford

when you can afford it, okay?

You better get to work.

Don't worry.

Thank you very much, Mr. Crane.

Hey.

Yeah, you probably didn't lose any sleep

over this.

Been so busy, completely forgot it.

Thank you.

I just heard you with that mom.

You're a good guy.

Well, I'm only a good guy

for another three weeks

- until the city shuts us down.

- Why?

Lost funding for the after-school program.

Federal cutbacks.

That's what I was doing at the museum

last night,

hat in hand, looking for an angel

with deep pockets.
