00:00Are you ready? I like to time my entrance for maximum effect.

00:04When did you ever go for minimum effect, especially with Rune around?

00:08Give me 30 seconds.

00:19She moves with grace and purpose. The right hand sweeping across the full lip, so moist,

00:26so succulent. What style this woman possesses. The tawny brown of those eyes, the sheer femininity.

00:36She, the mother of two, the constant support of a devoted and undeserving husband,

00:44though not a man without his charms, but it is she who stares the passions.

00:50She who fills each day with endless laughter. She who walks in beauty like the night.

01:02What's another 30 seconds?

01:04Rune, listen to me. If you don't or won't or can't, I'm gonna have to deal with Howard myself.

01:22Damn it, we lost to Kate and Allie.

01:24Well, maybe it's these match-ups you've been giving us.

01:27Maybe it's your announcing team.

01:30Uh-uh, somehow I can feel this working around to Howard Cosell again.

01:33It's unavoidable.

01:42He's unavoidable.

01:45Well, Leonard agrees with you.

01:48Are you with me? Congratulations.

01:50If he starts delivering the Sermon on the Mount, I'm out of here.

01:55You gotta give the devil his due.

01:56Oh, man, this don't look so good. There's only room for three of us.

02:04Don't sweat it, O.J. If they bring him back, I'm out of here.

02:09Leonard!

02:10No, not you, Howard. Emmy, I'm delighted to see you.

02:13Oh, it's wonderful to see you, Leonard.

02:16I'm so grateful to you for coming.

02:18Leonard, you invite, I arrive. I know what you meant to my career.

02:22Well, that's flattering, but you made your career.

02:26Coach, great to see you guys.

02:31O.J.?

02:32Right, not the same without you, Coach.

02:35So I've observed.

02:36We've observed it, too. The network misses you, Howard.

02:41I'm content, Leonard.

02:42I'm not. Would you excuse us, O.J.?

02:47Howard, I...

02:50Did you notice the sign up there?

02:52Yes.

02:53I...

02:56I have a proposition for you.

02:58Well, what's up, Leonard?

03:01Would you consider coming back to do the Super Bowl?

03:04The show misses you, Howard. It's not the same.

03:07Your booth seems to have a full complement already, Leonard.

03:11I'm going to move Simpson out. He's a disaster.

03:14I can't understand a thing the man says.

03:16Leonard, I don't know what to say.

03:20What? Go back to the NFL? After all we've been through?

03:26And he's right, of course, Leonard. I can't go back.

03:31Besides, despite the vicissitudes of our personal relationship,

03:35I could not countenance a move to usurp and embarrass Simpson.

03:39I can understand what you...

03:41Let me say something else.

03:43Your package is in trouble, Leonard.

03:45Roone is an absentee landlord.

03:48News preoccupies him, as perhaps it should.

03:52As for the broadcast, Roone has fallen so in love with his jocks,

03:55he forgets what made the franchise a hit.

03:59No, Howard. Roone knows there's no show without you.

04:02Strange, then, isn't it?

04:04That he failed to pick up a phone last summer and asked me to continue.

04:09That was a mistake. One I'd like to rectify.

04:12Without you, Howard, it's not Monday Night Football anymore.

04:16Now it's just Football on Monday Night.

04:19Now you're telling it like it is, Leonard.

04:21Howard...

04:25I'm sorry, I'm tired.

04:29Emmy has spoken.

04:31Sorry.

04:32Now, shall we eat?

04:35Eat? Eat? I've lost my appetite.
