Perry Mason: The Case of the Reckless Romeo

Uh frank said he got here about two minutes ago so let's just go in what are.

You doing here I wanted to get a shot of you arriving at work I thought this was

going to be just an interview oh it is but I thought it would be nice to open I've been with you starting your day.

Would you mind taking another sip of coffee?

Yes, I would.

Perry, we finally got a response from those people at Harvard.

What's going on?

A very good question.

I think we can cut here.

You ready?

Mr. Mason, is there any kind of client that you wouldn't handle?

Yes.

One who lied to me.

Perry, I got that...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Hi.

Hi.

Excuse me.

Mr. Malansky and I need a moment alone.

Of course.

Well, I got Williamson's statement, but...

I don't think it's going to help our case much.

Young lady, your interview, this interview, is over.

Okay, folks, stand by.

Bring up Ken and I for me, would you, please?

Tighten that up a little bit.

Yeah, that's nice, right there.

Hold it.

Thanks.

Jack, when can I get some time and hear you do some online?

Maybe tonight.

I'll let you know.

Thanks.

Okay, let's do this.

And now, Rand Cosmetics once again brings you the whole truth as revealed by the one the only Ted Mayne.

Thank you.

Thanks, folks.

Thanks very much.

And to everyone at home watching our live show today, welcome.

Today, the spotlight of Revelations falls on Judge Joshua Cohn.

Now, I invited the good judge here today to discuss a certain weekend he's rumored

to have spent recently at a law conference in Los Angeles, but he declined.

However, I did manage to track down someone who was at that alleged conference with him.

Please welcome his alleged research assistant.

This is Ms. Carrie McCloskey.

Carrie.

Welcome.

I love your outfit.

Have a seat there, Carrie.

Now, Carrie, this research that you did for the judge down in L.A., just exactly what kind of briefs did it entail?

He is the first really bona fide hit I've had since I started this network.

He does get away with murder, doesn't he?

Yes, he does, God love him.

And he hasn't done too badly by you, either.

Sponsoring a show is one of the two best decisions I've ever made.

The second was to become engaged to him.

Makes his contract negotiations a lot easier.

Carrie,

you've been a great guest today.

I want to thank you for joining us.

Ladies and gentlemen, a big hand for Carrie McCloskey, Judge Cohen's girl, here on Friday and Saturday and Sunday.

Very funny.

But before we close today's show, I have an announcement, a very important announcement.

It's here.

Everything you wanted to know about me, Ted Mayne, but were afraid to ask,

has finally been revealed.

Yes, indeed.

The truth is out, and not just the truth about me and my many thrilling adventures,

but also about some special women I've known and loved before, all in intimate detail.

So whether it's the famous star of her own TV series, and I'm referring, of course,

to the lovely Roxanne Shield, the star of the hit TV series, Undercover.

Another special lady in my life is the widow of a celebrated congressman, Mrs.

Nora Turner.

Turnabout's fair play, and now the sometimes harsh spotlight of truth falls on me.

So whether I tell you all about my romance with a high-fashion photographer,

or whether it's closer to home and you get to meet a sophisticated, and beautiful

television producer, I can only warn you that if you pick up this book,

you won't put it down.

It's all true.

It's all in here.

And it all goes on sale tomorrow.

So you've been a great audience.

This is Ted Mayne saying, watch yourself, because we just may be watching you, too.

See you tomorrow.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

Were you aware he even had a book?

Not me, yours producer.

You didn't know about this?

No.

You must have known.

Oh, I read the galley.

You read the galleys.

You're gonna marry him.

How can you let him publish a kiss-and-tell book?

But it all happened before we met, so why should I care?

Besides, this should push his ratings and my company's sales to an all-time high.

Uh, if you two will excuse me, I'm gonna go congratulate our star.

So tell me, what does he say about me?

Plenty.

That S.O.B.

Yes, but he's our S.O.B.

Oh, Perry Mason.

Very big-time stuff.

Almost as big a deal as this, or haven't you heard about my autobiography yet?

The United Nations was all abuzz.

Came out to bring you your very own copy.

Check it out, it's a good read.

Oh, that's very nice of you, Ted, but I haven't finished reading mine, come.

Read it, Charlie, tonight, because tomorrow you're going on special

assignment, interviewing all the women I've known and loved.

Ted, I don't know if you've forgotten, but I don't work for you.

You do this time.

Says who?

Harold Tyson.

You remember Harold, the man who signs your paychecks?

Ted, I'm doing this piece on Perry Mason.

Cool down, Charlie.

Mason can wait.

This just became the hottest story in show business.

Why don't you use it?

Come on!

Okay, cut!

So itchy!

Hi, Charlie Adams, TCT Cable News.

I really like your show.

Oh, thank you.

Have you read Ted Mayne's book?

No, I haven't.

Are you going to?

Um, I have much better things to do with my time.

Roxanne, how do you feel about Ted Mayne?

Boy, the next time I see him, I'm going to ramp this with rock, little heart.

Roxanne, don't you think you have to do this?

Just leave me alone, okay?

When David died in that plane crash, well, it was quite a blow for me and my daughter.

Sandra had school, of course, so she recovered fairly quickly.

Why are you talking to them?

Can't you just leave her alone?

Let's cut.

I want to have my say.

This is important to me.

Well, go ahead, Mrs. Turner.

Anyway, after David's death, I became a virtual recluse.

Then about two years ago, I met Ted.

In a way, he brought me back to life.

So are you saying you're glad you had your affair with him?

In hindsight, no, of course not.

But at the time, he was very supportive.

I was vulnerable.

And you might say that he took advantage of me.

I had no idea that he'd end up sharing our relationship.

I had no idea that he'd end up sharing our relationship with the world.

That's all I have to say.

Excuse me.

Make sure you get a shot of that picture of her and turn her over there.

Okay.

I'll see you back at the station.

All right.

Hi, Beth, it's me.

Um, listen, did you have any luck finding that fashion photographer Mary Singer?

Well, she's got to be somewhere.

Where does she know me from?

The hotel.

Great.

Well, did you try this hotel?

Uh-huh.

Okay, well, I got to go.

Keep trying, okay?

Okay, bye.

Here's my Miss Passion.

Let's use her first, okay?

And this is number two.

Make sure you get the champagne glasses in this one.

And this is a hot ticket.

Oh.

You are not going to use that picture.

Brenda, sweetheart, it's just a blob of what's already in the book.

I don't care.

How could you do this to me?

Where's your sense of humor?

I went out with you, didn't I?

Ted.

Oh, hi, babe.

Something's come up.

Why the long face?

There's something you better see.

Next time I see him, I'm going to ram this through his nuts, little heart.

Roxanne, don't.

So Nora Turner gave me this hearts and flowers routine, and Mary Singer is nowhere to be found.

But I think that Roxanne makes up for them.

Mm-hmm.

I thought you'd better know.

This book is going to bring you nothing but trouble.

And it serves you right.

When are you going to stop being such a spoil sport?

Besides, this is great stuff.

In fact, I want to use a clip from that for my show today.

Ted, she threatened you.

You've got to be careful.
