And now ladies and gentlemen I'm going to tell you about the feature film or
the film that I'm
featured in and and I think when you see this this little film I've put
together you're going
to see that it contains a lot of really what I do best and that is overact.
Seriously in the past
you know I have been reluctant to talk about my romantic life on our regular
show but recently
I was involved in a relationship that affected me so strongly that I knew the
only way to express
how I felt was through my art. The film you're about to see is one I had to
make as a form of therapy
but I think there comes a time when we're all feeling in love. It looked like
another boring
Friday night. For months Paul had been trying to set me up with the right girl.
I never dreamed that
tonight she would walk into my life.
A party for Schaefer?
Hi Wendy. Oh hi Paul. Sorry we're late. Oh I just got here. Listen Dave. Dave.
Wendy this
is Dave. Hi David. This is Wendy. Hey it's Hal. I wonder what he's doing here.
Who's Hal? Oh that's
Hal Gurney. He's the director of the show and one of Dave's closest friends.
Come on. Hi Hal. Having dinner
alone? Dave. Oh actually I'm waiting for my wife. It's our 25th wedding
anniversary. Oh congratulations.
Thank you. You know uh I don't think I ever met Mrs. Hal Gurney. Really? No.
Here she is now.
What a knockout. My feet are killing me. Who picked this place. Dear I don't
think you've ever met Dave.
No I don't think you've ever met. A perfect woman. Nobly planned. To warm. To
comfort. And command.
What was that Dave? Wordsworth. Ode to a woman with a rose.
Oh you must be interested in flowers. Has Hal talked to you about our garden?
Uh no he hasn't. Uh uh let me join you for dinner and and you can tell me about
the garden. But Dave what
about Paul and your friend? Shut up Hal. Aphids, red spiders, Japanese beetles,
slugs. We had them all.
The slugs got into the corn. Not the golden bantam but the buttered corn. The
corns are not
fine though. But you know what I'm proudest of? My tomatoes. Oh please please
tell me about the tomatoes.
Dave's really interested in his gardening isn't it? I've never seen him this
way before.
Well the tomatoes came in bigger this year than ever before and there wasn't a
single slug on them.
The only problem is I had to give most of them away because my husband won't
eat anything with tomatoes in
it. Your husband? Yes Hal. Oh right. Hal says he can't eat tomatoes because of
his sensitive stomach
but I think he just doesn't like my cooking. Doesn't like your cooking? Doesn't
like your cooking?
And you Hal Gurney. I better go talk to him. Waiter. Dave what has gotten into
you? What's the
matter with you? Are you blind? Hal is no good for that woman. I love her. Love
her? She's already
married to Hal. They've been married 25 years. To me they look pretty happy. Oh
yeah? Well Hal Gurney does
not have a monopoly on happiness. I want my share. And I'll tell you something
else. I don't care what
it takes. I'm going to make that woman mine.
Have acknowledged your consent before us. Now by virtue of the authority vested
in me by the laws of the
state of New York, I pronounce you man or wife. You may kiss the bride. All
right. I did it. I married
Mrs. Hal Gurney. Yeah. Yeah, you did. But at what cost? By stealing Hal's wife,
you have alienated
everyone on the show. Why do you think that nobody came to your wedding? Paul,
that's not true. Look,
here's Biff Henderson, one of our stage managers. Hi, Biff. Dave, here's a
little gift from everyone on
the crew. Oh, look. I don't care what you people think. For once in my life, I'm
happy. Come on, honey.
Honey, honey, wake up. The show's on. I'm about to do something really funny.
You're not going to sleep through the honeymoon, are you? Come on, wake up.
Come on, wake up. See what I did here? I pretended like the joke didn't work,
and then I made a really
goofy face, and I got a huge laugh. That was pretty good, huh? You know, now
that you're my wife,
you'll learn all the tricks that I use to make the show a big hit. Doesn't the
director have a lot to
do with it? Well, what is the deal? You've been talking about Hal all night.
Just relax and watch the
show, please. Ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, I was married today to Mrs.
Hal Gurney, who divorced our
director so she could run off with me. Can we get a shot of Hal now in the
control room?
Hey, Hal. You know, I think we've seen enough. This is not going to work. I
know what you're thinking. I
should leave right now and go back to Hal. Oh, no. No, no. What I was thinking
is, tomorrow when I get to
work, I'll fire Hal. No, I think my idea is better. Goodbye, Dave. Oh, no, no.
Just, no, no, please, no.
After Mrs. Gurney left me, I couldn't get her out of my mind. I was a wreck.
I felt like I would never laugh again.
Then one day, I happened to pass a movie theater. I saw what was playing, Chaplin,
City Lights,
good old Charlie. He was my idol, and he was there to cheer me up when I needed
him most.
I had to go in. Of course, I'd already seen City Lights, so I went to see what
was playing in Cinema 2.
It was Forky's 5. And let me tell you, I never laughed harder in my life. The
movie put the world
back in perspective for me. I felt good about myself again. I could go on
living.
We'll be right back with Michael J. Fox after you take a look at this, folks.
