Ray has a cold. I'm hoping
it will turn into pneumonia...
:45:10
and that weeks of bed rest will
cause abdominal muscles to atrophy.

Ben wants to add a column
to the magazine for women.
:45:22
It finally hit him that
20% of our readership is female.
:45:25
The idea is for it
to be about men.
:45:27
You know, how they're
so paranoid...
:45:29
- about going bald and that kind of thing.
- So...
:45:32
Forget baldness.
The real issue is their behavior.
:45:34
You know, that stuff like
that copulatory impulse...
:45:37
Imperative. Hey, Bobby, can
I get some more hot water?
:45:40
The point is, I think
you should write it.
:45:42
Are you crazy?
:45:44
- Well, why not?
I'm not a writer. B: I'm not a psychologist.
:45:47
We don't need
a psychologist.
:45:48
We need someone who's been
in the trenches, baby.
:45:51
Liz, I don't know
what I'm talking about.
:45:54
All I have are a bunch of notebooks
filled with ridiculous little factoids.
:45:58
I mean, this is not a
full-time job. This is a hobby.
:46:01
A sick, twisted,
pathetic little hobby.
:46:05
You get paid to write about something
you're already obsessed with.
:46:07
If you want anonymity,
we'll give you a pen name.
:46:10
I personally think
it'd be cathartic for you,
:46:12
and you'd be doing your dear,
sweet, wonderful friend a huge favor.
:46:19
Pen name, huh?
:46:26
I'm doing this once.
Do you hear me? One time.
:46:30
- Fine. I'm telling you, it's gonna be fun.
- Fun?
:46:33
I'm helping concoct the background
of a nonexistent scientist...
:46:35
who's about to publish her delusional
theories in the nation's top men's magazine.
:46:40
You're right. Ha!
This is fun.
:46:43
Okay, try this. Um...
:46:45
Born in Sussex, 1937.
