1:17:01
you would have to pretend to be a man
who wouldn't have sex for several dates.
1:17:05
And in doing so,
we would go out on lots of dates...
1:17:09
to all the best places
and all the hit shows...
1:17:13
until finally, one night, you would
take me back to your place--
1:17:17
that you were pretending
was someone else's--
1:17:19
in order to get the evidence you needed
to write your exposé...
1:17:23
by seducing me
until I said, ''I love you.''
1:17:29
But saying ''I love you''
was also my plan.
1:17:34
I just wanted to tell you
the truth so that when you
heard me say, ''I love you''...
1:17:38
you would know that I knew who you were,
and you would know who I was.
1:17:42
Then you, the great Catcher Block...
1:17:45
would know that you'd
been beaten at your own game...
1:17:50
by me, Nancy Brown,
your former secretary.
1:17:54
And I would have,
once and for all, set myself apart...
1:17:58
from all the other girls
you've known, all those other girls...
1:18:01
that you never really cared about,
by making myself someone...
1:18:06
like the one person
you really love and admire...
1:18:11
above all others: you.
1:18:15
Then, when you realized that you
had finally met your match...
1:18:18
I would have at last
gained the respect...
1:18:21
that would make you wanna
marry me first and seduce me later.
1:18:32
I just wanted you to hear
all this from me before you
heard it from your private eye.

1:18:42
- Yeah?
- Block, McNulty.
1:18:45
Got everything there is on Novak,
and it's nothing.
1:18:49
Novak doesn't exist except
for a P.O. box in Maine...
1:18:52
in care of one Nancy Brown
of 28 Gramercy Park...
1:18:55
where she was born and raised.
1:18:58
And while our Nancy may have
broken a few hearts growing up...
