Spin City s01e07 Grand Illusion.eng Subtitles

00:00:02,434 --> 00:00:05,This is Ashley schaeffer
with channel 10 news.

00:00:05,767 --> 00:00:07,That was great stuff.

00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:09,We don't have to play
this game every night.

00:00:09,334 --> 00:00:12,Excuse me if I happen to find
that piece very comforting.

00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,Mike, I interviewed a grown man
who collects Barbie dolls.

00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,Exactly. It's
comforting to me

00:00:19,033 --> 00:00:21,that he lives way the hell
on the other side of town.

00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,It's just driving me crazy.

00:00:23,667 --> 00:00:26,I miss my old job
at the newspaper.

00:00:26,367 --> 00:00:27,Honey, I know you're upset.

00:00:27,834 --> 00:00:29,No, I'm not upset.
Oh, you're upset.

00:00:29,467 --> 00:00:30,You clean when you're upset.

00:00:30,801 --> 00:00:32,Fine. I'm upset.

00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:34,I'm cleaning.
What's the harm in that?

00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:35,You threw out
the parks department budget.

00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,I've been working
on that for a month.

00:00:38,767 --> 00:00:40,I'm sorry.

00:00:43,634 --> 00:00:45,That's ok.

00:00:45,133 --> 00:00:47,We'll just dig my paycheck
out of there later.

00:00:47,634 --> 00:00:50,Oh. It's just this
television thing, you know?

00:00:50,868 --> 00:00:53,It's one puff piece after the other.
It's so frustrating.

00:00:53,834 --> 00:00:55,I know it is, honey,

00:00:55,667 --> 00:00:58,but everybody's g***t to
start at the bottom.

00:00:58,601 --> 00:01:02,Mike, the man made me leave the
room when Barbie was changing.

00:01:17,067 --> 00:01:18,Michael?

00:01:18,267 --> 00:01:20,Ooh, it's never good
when you call me Michael

00:01:20,601 --> 00:01:22,last Tuesday, you had me
cancel your lunch

00:01:22,567 --> 00:01:24,with the parks commissioner

00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,so you could dine with the
Dean of fordham law school,

00:01:26,234 --> 00:01:27,which I then rescheduled

00:01:27,567 --> 00:01:29,because of your
speaking engagement

00:01:29,334 --> 00:01:32,at the women's caucus.
Bottom line, janelle.

00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:34,You have 11 lunches today.

00:01:36,167 --> 00:01:38,Good.
I'm really hungry.

00:01:40,601 --> 00:01:44,I did it. I broke up
with Roger last night.

00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:45,How do you feel?

00:01:45,634 --> 00:01:48,In my heart, I know
it was the right thing,

00:01:48,467 --> 00:01:50,but you know how he can be.
So I'm thinking

00:01:50,167 --> 00:01:51,maybe if I'd just been
a little bit more...

00:01:51,734 --> 00:01:54,But he had issues
with his mother-

00:01:54,634 --> 00:01:56,I know exactly what
you're talking about.

00:01:56,701 --> 00:01:58,Right?
So, you know...

00:01:58,234 --> 00:01:59,How?

00:01:59,567 --> 00:02:03,I mean, how could you
possibly know?

00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:06,Guys don't talk about it
when they break up?

00:02:06,133 --> 00:02:07,A Buddy shows up
with a new girlfriend,

00:02:07,567 --> 00:02:09,you pretty much assume
he dumped the old one.

00:02:11,167 --> 00:02:13,The only thing
that is required of you

00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,is to not call her
by the other one's name.

00:02:15,834 --> 00:02:18,Mr. Flaherty,
d- day has arrived.

00:02:18,567 --> 00:02:21,Hey, Carter's g***t a new
nickname for himself.

00:02:22,801 --> 00:02:24,You promised to tell me today

00:02:24,234 --> 00:02:25,whether or not the mayor is
going to support

00:02:25,267 --> 00:02:27,the legislation
on same-s***x marriages.

00:02:27,067 --> 00:02:28,I'm on pins
and needles, too, Mike.

00:02:28,567 --> 00:02:30,I g***t big plans tonight.

00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,Yeah. In my office,
one minute. Ok, Carter?

00:02:34,234 --> 00:02:35,James, the mayor
needs his remarks

00:02:36,033 --> 00:02:38,for the annual trick or
treating at Gracie mansion.

00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,Halloween's still
a few days away.

00:02:39,868 --> 00:02:41,It's a big event, James.

00:02:41,434 --> 00:02:44,There's a lot of cameras.
The mayor's great with kids.

00:02:44,067 --> 00:02:45,It's the only time of the
year he gets to wear

00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,his Chewbacca costume
out of the house.

00:02:48,467 --> 00:02:51,It's hard for me to get
into the halloween spirit

00:02:51,667 --> 00:02:53,until it's actually halloween.

00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,I need some kind
of inspiration.

00:02:54,801 --> 00:02:56,Good morning, people!

00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:00,Thank you, Paul.

00:03:00,067 --> 00:03:02,Is it pirate day again?

00:03:02,133 --> 00:03:03,I get this new toaster, right?

00:03:03,734 --> 00:03:07,And the thing flings bread up
at an incredible speed.

00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:11,I'm telling you, it should come
with a pair of safety goggles.

00:03:11,501 --> 00:03:12,Is it bad?

00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,The doctor prescribed
some drops.

00:03:14,834 --> 00:03:17,I have to wear the patch
for a couple of days.

00:03:17,234 --> 00:03:18,I'll be fine.

00:03:19,334 --> 00:03:22,Go ahead, Stuart.
Let's hear it.

00:03:22,834 --> 00:03:26,If you make it this easy,
you ruin it for both of us.

00:03:28,334 --> 00:03:29,Mike, I'd
like that answer now.

00:03:29,734 --> 00:03:32,Is the mayor for or
against same-s***x marriages?

00:03:32,701 --> 00:03:35,Gay marriages? Oh, no.
Mayor's against it.

00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,Paul- no, no, no.
I just spoke to him.

00:03:37,133 --> 00:03:39,He's against it 100%.

00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:41,The mayor's coming out against.

00:03:41,501 --> 00:03:43,Yeah. I picked that up.

00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:45,Don't take this personally.
Why would I, Mike?

00:03:45,667 --> 00:03:47,Just because if I was in a
monogamous, faithful relationship

00:03:47,834 --> 00:03:50,with a man for 10 years, I would
never be able to marry him,

00:03:50,067 --> 00:03:51,but if I met some
strange woman in a bar,

00:03:51,467 --> 00:03:52,we could be married
within an hour,

00:03:52,667 --> 00:03:54,and every state would
applaud it just like that.

00:03:55,033 --> 00:03:57,You mind telling me
what bar that is?

00:04:00,667 --> 00:04:02,Now, Carter,
you're a smart guy.

00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:04,You know this was the only
thing we could do politically.

00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,I should just lie down
and accept this, hmm?

00:04:07,434 --> 00:04:08,If you wouldn't mind.

00:04:13,334 --> 00:04:16,So Hank is the oldest
hockey player in new York.

00:04:16,567 --> 00:04:18,Oh, age is just a number.

00:04:18,100 --> 00:04:19,Hank's as young in his heart

00:04:19,501 --> 00:04:21,as he was when
he started the game.

00:04:21,501 --> 00:04:23,And how long have
you two been married?

00:04:23,567 --> 00:04:26,I'm his daughter.

00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:31,Right. Uh... Well, let me just
tell you my angle on the story.

00:04:31,234 --> 00:04:35,I want to do a piece- an expose,
if you will- on ageism in America.

00:04:35,467 --> 00:04:38,They said you were going
to talk about hockey.

00:04:38,501 --> 00:04:39,Dad loves hockey.

00:04:39,868 --> 00:04:42,Why don't we get a few shots
of Hank warming up,

00:04:42,267 --> 00:04:44,and then I'll get some of
his insights on the issue.

00:04:47,133 --> 00:04:49,Hank? Hank?

00:04:49,901 --> 00:04:51,Could I have a few words?

00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,Hank!

00:04:57,167 --> 00:05:00,Uh... oh.

00:05:01,534 --> 00:05:03,Nice job, sir.

00:05:03,067 --> 00:05:05,Why did they need to
know my opinion on that?

00:05:05,534 --> 00:05:07,Same-s***x marriage is a
hot issue right now

00:05:07,534 --> 00:05:10,and has legislation pending
at the state level,

00:05:10,133 --> 00:05:12,and as leader of new York,
you're expected to voice your-

00:05:12,968 --> 00:05:15,I'm familiar with the concept
of being mayor, Mike.

00:05:15,968 --> 00:05:19,I was asking the question on
a more metaphysical level.

00:05:19,534 --> 00:05:24,Ooh, well...
My waters don't run that deep, sir.

00:05:24,567 --> 00:05:26,Could you believe
that reporter,

00:05:26,501 --> 00:05:28,having the gall to ask
me if I were homophobic?

00:05:29,033 --> 00:05:30,Even if I were prejudiced
against gays,

00:05:30,801 --> 00:05:31,I'd want them
to get married-

00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,give them a taste
of the nightmare

00:05:33,133 --> 00:05:34,the rest of us live
through every day.

00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,The good news is, the press
is ready to let this go

00:05:39,801 --> 00:05:41,as long as we don't
do light a fire under it.

00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:43,Where is Carter on all of this?

00:05:43,701...
