You Can't Do That on Television1979

Lisa Ruddy:
Well, Christine, how's your mom making out since your dad left?

Christine McGlade:
Terrible! Not good at all.

Lisa Ruddy:
Oh.

[the telephone rings and Valerie, wearing a waitress uniform, picks it up]

Valerie Prevort:
[into the phone] Hello? Oh, hi, Bill. Oh, gosh, no, I'm sorry. I'm going dancing with Walter tonight. Uh, tomorrow?

Valerie Prevort:
[checking her address book] Umm... No, uh, tomorrow is Bob. Oh, well, let's see. Um, maybe a week from next Friday if Harry doesn't call. Okay, terrific. Thanks, bye.

[she hangs up and a car horn is heard outside]

Valerie Prevort:
[trotting out] Oh, there's Murray. Don't wait up, dear.

[Valerie exits]

Lisa Ruddy:
Hey, what was so "terrible" about that? She looks fine to me... all her boyfriends.

Christine McGlade:
Boyfriends? Oh... oh, no. You should see them. They're a bunch of losers.

Lisa Ruddy:
Well, at her age, beggers can't be choosers.
