Love Affair

Valentine's Day is two weeks away,

but Cupid is very busy.

His arrow's struck Lynn Weaver...

...a talk-show host

worth $ 100 million...

...whose popular program

has spawned a TV empire...

...announced her marriage

this afternoon.

The lucky groom-to-be...

...is former NFL quarterback

and aging playboy Mike Gambril...

...who is a sportscaster

for NBC in Los Angeles.

You look good

with your collar up like that.

Mike, nice catch!

Lynn Weaver and Mike Gambril...

...the aging sports stud

and the popular talk-show host...

...have everyone talking

about their engagement.

Mike is a sportscaster

for an LA affiliate.

But how he got that job

is the real news.

Sources say Lynn got Mike the job...

...but so far the quarterback

has been fumbling.

If that doesn't

make her think twice...

...there's Mike's reputation

for playing the field.

This is my favorite part.

I like this.

Who's standing

on the cake with her?

One-time NFL backfield coach

Mike Gambril.

Perfect timing.

When you get back from Australia...

...we go in,

we renegotiate your deal.

Mike, what time is your flight?

Can I make a call?

People are batshit over you two

getting married. It's perfect.

You're the lawyer.

Don't hold me to it,

but in the next few weeks...

...I can get in excess of $200,000.

If Lynn can get you on a Wednesday

night special, the sky's the limit.

I mean, who's going to say no

to Lynn Weaver?

Did you hear when I said

"the sky's the limit"?

- You got a date?

- For what?

The wedding.

The wedding!

We're getting there.

What do you mean?

Don't louse this up for me.

- Would I do that? Calm down.

- I am calm.

I was thinking we should have it

on TV. Ever think of that?

I'm joking. I'm joking.

I'm glad I caught you.

You forgot your watch.

- I wondered where it was.

- The editing room.

The editing room, yeah.

Thanks.

- Safe trip.

- Bye. Thanks.

- Who removes their watch in editing?

- I do.

Sweet. Very nice.

What did she take off?

Don't louse this up, huh?

I'm telling you,

he's not on the flight.

Wait, I see him.

Don't worry, I'll get the picture.

You'll get your

Lynn Weaver story.

You wanted a picture of the tattoo

on Tom Arnold's ass.

I got you a picture.

You think you can do better?

- Mr. Gambril, welcome.

- I'll take those.

Thanks.

The flying time for the L.A. Leg

of our New York to Sydney flight...

...should be 13 hours and 47 minutes.

- What can I get you to drink?

- Only a pillow.

The temperature in Sydney should be

the same as it is here, 68 degrees.

Excuse me, I think that's my...

I thought these things were extinct.

Mike Gambril, what a thrill!

I've been watching you sleep.

How are you?

I've seen you play 1000 times.

I'm Herb Stillman.

This is my wife, Nora.

She's a fan of yours, too.

You've given us 1000 thrills!

I'm glad you stopped coaching.

I'm trying to watch the movie.

Mike Gambril.

Really? Hi. Terry.

- How are you?

- Good.

I'd like...

It's true,

he's given me 1000 thrills.

- But coaching is a thankless job.

- Herbie?

- Herbie?

- Yes, Nora, sweetheart?

Excuse me.

Can you help me? I can't figure out

I have an empty seat here.

You two can come up here

and sit beside each other. Come on.

Your son wouldn't have to...

I hate to tell you,

but this is my grandson.

It's Matthew.

Shake hands with Mike Gambril.

- Come on up here, I insist.

- Thank you very much.

Did that look stupid? I know I looked

stupid. Was anyone watching?

- No.

- Good.

I must say, at my age 14 hours

is 14 hours, know what I mean?

It's 14 hours of my life.

We only have six more hours, but...

I don't even know

what time zone I'm in.

I took off from LA...

...9000 miles to Sydney on Friday...

...then back to New York

for the weekend...

...and back to LA on Tuesday.

- Can I help you?

- I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong place.

Literally.

I'm up in the air all the time.

You do that on any kind

of ongoing basis...

...you become...

...completely...

- Disoriented?

- Disoriented.

Disoriented.

And... and...

Isolated?

Isolated, yeah.

Isolated.

How long are you gonna be in Sydney?

Two days.

Two days!

- Actually, two and a half.

- Me too.

But I'm lucky, I don't travel

on an ongoing basis.

I don't worry

about feeling isolated.

That's good.

This is your captain.

Please fasten your safety belts.

- Let me get that.

- No, I...

- I'll get it.

- No, really, I...

I'd rather...

This will look fantastic.

- Is that for a coat or a dress?

- A sailboat.

A sailboat?

- Don't want to lose these.

- Thank you.

All right. Here we go.

- Good-looking guy.

- I think so.

Stockbroker?

He's an investment banker.

- What firm?

- Shearson Leahman.

- Don't tell me he runs it.

- Actually, he does.

What is he, 30, 35?

He's young.

- Amazing!

- What's that?

Memory loss is not necessarily

related to aging.

- Memory loss?

- Absolutely.

It's usually stress, change.

Change creates stress.

The bigger the change,

the greater the stress.

It must be overwhelming.

The mind is like a computer.

It can only process so much

information before it farkles.

- Farkles?

- Breaks down. Crashes.

Don't be embarrassed.

It's experience overload.

That's why you have a black book.

- What are we talking about?

- Us. You don't have a clue, do you?

Don't be embarrassed. You've been

a very busy man for a long time.

I'm a big girl.
