Now slide down.

Slide your hips right down to

the edge of the table for me.

Thank you.

...this is nbc nightly news,

reported by John camel...

The house judiciary committee

voted today to make public

all the classified material

it has amassed in seven weeks

into the inquiry into the

impeachment of president Nixon.

The vote was 22 to 16,

with 16 democrats and

6 Republicans

voting to release the evidence.

Anything else while you wait?

No, no.

Long day.

I guess I've been stood up.

That's rough.

I'll just take the check there.

Hi, hi.

Sorry to interrupt.

I couldn't help but

notice you back there.

You both seem to be

very much in love.

Thanks.

We are.

How long have you been together?

It's our third anniversary.

Oh...

Wow...

You must think I'm crazy,

my name is Christine,

I'm a reporter at wzrb.

And I have a

community affairs segment

called the suncoast digest.

And I'm always on lookout for

positive,

human-interest stories.

Ah...

Here.

Let me give you my...

You wanna call me...

I can't guarantee that

you'll make it to air, but

why not give it a shot, right?

"Okay, lady, we get it,

let us get back to our dinner."

I'm really sorry to interrupt.

You just made my night.

Don't lose sight of

what you have here.

Okay?

Words...

Matter...

Chris?

I'm so so sorry I missed dinner.

I got a little tied up at work.

You could've called

the restaurant.

I know, I...

Got a little distracted.

Frank had us do inventory.

You have to learn

how to stand up to him.

I know, I know.

You wanna hang out?

No, I think I'm gonna get

to bed early.

You sure?

One hundred percent positive.

...goddammit.

Somebody grab the phone.

Are you freaking out?

I am freaking out.

No. Why?

It's the worst possible time

for this to be happening!

Is your computer

acting up again?

My computer is more than

acting up.

It's taking over my mind.

But I'm in the booth,

talking it over with

the Japanese tech guy,

and that's no small feat,

"the circuits are flied..."

I swear we are just about

to break the whole thing wide,

I'm talking countries

coming together here, Chris.

And Jean busts in

like I'm in a bad dream

and tells me that

I have to get out

because Mike is

giving Bob a tour,

and I'm just really Jean?'

wait.

- Bob?

- Yeah.

And now I have to stand up

in front of an empty map

with nothing to say like

a goddamn birthday clown.

Bob andersen?

Yeah. Bob f***ing andersen.

Are we having

the same conversation?

Jean?

Hey, Jean!

Jean!

Hurry.

Yeah.

- What do you know?

- About what?

About what?

About Bob andersen.

Nothing really, he just came by.

It's crazy, right?

I think he's with Mike

right now. Hey...
