All About Steve Page #4

Synopsis: Mary Horowitz writes crossword puzzles for the Sacramento Herald. She's loquacious to a fault. When kids at a career day make fun of her for being single, she accepts a blind date with Steve, the cameraman for a CNN-like news network. Within minutes she decides he's the man for her. He's quickly put off by her constant verbiage and over-the-top advances; he makes an off-hand remark about going on the road with her, and splits. She's moonstruck, writes a sappy crossword puzzle, loses her job, and decides to follow him as the news team crisscrosses the Southwest; Steve's team eggs her on. Then she falls in a mine shaft, and she and Steve become a story; is it a love story?

- I'm perplexed. I'm- I'm just like all these things.

- Uh-huh.

- Yeah?

- Yeah. Can- Let's go back to the, uh- the aroused.

- Okay. Okay. Wow. Steven.

- Whoa.

- Oh.

- It's like we're two rare Earth elements...

just brought together by the Norns.

- It's just-That's Scandinavian for the Destinies.

- Oh.

- And now I'm going to eat you

like a mountain lion.

- [Thunder Rumbles]

- [Snarls]

- You know what? I'm sorry.

- It's my phone.

- What are you doing?

- I didn't hear it ring. That's odd.

- Vibrate. It vibrated.

- I didn't feel it.

- Oh, probably because of all the grinding.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- I'll get over here. [Kissing]

- Yeah?

What? Yeah. What's up?

- All right. I'm coming.

- Oh! Already?

- Okay. Okay. I can hurry. I can hurry.

- No, no, no, no, no, no.

L- I gotta go to work.

- There's breaking news.

- Oh. Oh!

- Gosh, I'm so sorry.

- Well, it's-it's okay. It's-

I gotta go to, uh, Boston.

Wow. Boston, huh?

That's a spectacular city.

Known not only for its- its tea...

but, uh, for Sam Morse,

who invented the Morse code.

- Get out of here.

- Yes. Do you want some help?

No. You know, it's so- it'd be so much more

interesting staying here and everything.

Like, I really wish you could be there.

- Life on the road sure is tough.

- Oh. L- l-

But you have a job to do.

Oh. He likes Twinkies.

Okay. It's been fun.

- [Shudders] Okay. That's for you.

- Oh. Gracias.

Yeah.

[Exhales]

[Sighs]

Thank God.

[Mouthing Words]

Okay. Big crazy person.

[Tires Squeal]

[Mary Narrating]

When I was a fledgling cruciverbalist-

that means crossword constructor-

I would find comfort in the words

of the learned crossword sages.

My hero was Manny Nosowsky...

frequent New York Times contributor

and all-around cruciverbal master.

Manny says that

a crossword puzzle's greatness...

can be determined

by asking three simple questions: :

- Is it solvable?

- Bonsoir!

# You got me stuck to you

You got me stuck to you #

- [Mary Narrating] Is it entertaining?

- # You got me stuck to you #

# You got me stuck to you

You got me stuck to you #

Does it sparkle?

# You got me stuck to you #

# Clap hands

Come on ##

[Man] Yes. Okay. So, lunch meeting

at thatJapanese restaurant at 1::30, okay?

And I need to- l-This crossword is bullshit.

Anyway, he said he was gonna change,

and I, for one, believe him, so-

This doesn't make any sense.

- Well, to me, it does.

- Oh. Yeah. Of course.

- [Man] This is lame.

- [Man #2] Have you tried six down?
