00:13Come on, Friday.
00:17You have Friday's food, right?
00:19I'm not for $3.90.
00:20Yes.
00:21And his chew toys?
00:22Yes.
00:23And his eardrops?
00:24Yes.
00:26And you have his little blanket?
00:28The blue one, not the red one.
00:29That one's covered in piss.
00:31Yeah, I know.
00:32Come on, buddy.
00:38Oh, shit.
00:39I forgot my...
00:42Wallet?
00:44Every day.
00:47What did I ever do to that?
00:51Come on.
00:51Walk with me.
00:52John.
00:53No, I'm very tall.
00:54They won't even see you.
00:56Yeah, well, so am I.
00:57Come on.
00:58You know the drill.
00:59You go first, and I follow behind.
01:02Smile pretty for the cameras.
01:03Hey.
01:04Come on, Friday.
01:06Hey.
01:06Searching the signs of life, but there's nobody home.
01:14Well, maybe I'll call or I'll write you a letter.
01:19Oh, maybe I'll see you before the July.
01:23I'll tell you.
01:24But I'm not too sure.
01:26And I'm not too proud.
01:27I'll write you a letter.
01:28But I'm not too sure.
01:30And I'm not too proud to say.
01:33Oh, it was good.
01:36Oh, it was good.
01:39Oh, it was good.
01:46Oh, it was good.
01:48Oh, it was good.
01:59I'm not too proud to say.
01:59I'm calling page six and demanding a retraction.
02:01I mean, how hard is it to spell Carolyn?
02:03You're on page six again?
02:04Oh, no. Carol, the set, was in page six again.
02:08Apparently, she was seen canoodling with John at Bubby's.
02:11Wait, last time they called you Caroline. It's shoddy journalism.
02:14I'd rather they misspelled my name.
02:16The less interested in us they are, the better.
02:19Yeah, well, they never got Diana's name right when she was first dating Charles,
02:22and now she's the most popular royal.
02:24You're going to be the American people's princess.
02:27Which would make us your ladies-in-waiting?
02:30Uh, you two are demented.
02:34I want to keep all that noise up for as long as possible.
02:38We're in a really good place.
02:40A good place? Honey, you share a home and a dog.
02:43It's basically like common-law marriage.
02:45Yeah, you ready to churn out six patriotic kids at all the boats?
02:48We haven't talked about any of that stuff yet.
02:52But I've never been this happy.
02:56I'm going to Hyannisport this weekend to meet the rest of his family.
02:59Oh, my God.
03:04Carolyn, he's ready.
03:06Yeah.
03:10Oh, looks like our princess is turning back into Cinderella.
03:15Oh, my God.
03:17Could you please remind Cassandra that any of our colorful inventories should be tucked away at the back of the
03:24store,
03:24and if I so much as see a vodka cranberry?
03:28I'll call her this afternoon.
03:30Where are we on the RSVPs?
03:33Great.
03:34My call sheet is riddled with unhinged publicists angling for invites, so...
03:40Are we expecting your boyfriend?
03:45I'm not sure.
03:48He's slammed right now with the George launch, so...
03:51No, I'm sure you can pull him away for a night.
03:55Plus, he owes me one.
03:59For?
04:00For introducing you.
04:02If it weren't for me, he'd probably still be sneaking around with Michael Bergen.
04:12It's a fucking mess.
04:14We've got over 150 pages of ads and no fucking content to put in between them.
04:19Hey, John.
04:20This isn't the bar exam, all right?
04:22You don't get three tries.
04:23We get one shot to launch this magazine.
04:26Okay, what the fuck is that smell?
04:28Your dog took a dump by the copier.
04:30Oh, shit.
04:31I'm sorry, Rosemary.
04:32I'll get it.
04:33I'll do it.
04:34I deal with all your other shit.
04:35What a woman.
04:41Should we give Rosie a raise?
04:43She really goes above and beyond.
04:45You know, she's watching Friday for the weekend, even though she's a cat person?
04:48A raise.
04:49We might not have a company in a month.
04:50I don't think it's helpful for you to be this stressed out.
04:53Oh, yeah?
04:53Well, I don't think it's that helpful for you to be so lax.
04:55Fuck you.
04:55I care as much as you do.
04:56Good!
04:57Then I need you to go into beast mode until the launch.
05:00Pull all-nighters, work weekends, starting right fucking now.
05:04Great.
05:04I'm in.
05:05Sit down.
05:11Just breathe, all right?
05:14Relax.
05:16Oh, God, that's good.
05:18Okay, breathe, man.
05:20Okay.
05:22All right.
05:23You got to choose the cover.
05:24Herb sent some options of Cindy.
05:25I marked down my favorites.
05:28Cool.
05:28I'll show them to Carolyn and see what she thinks.
05:31Oh, good.
05:31I definitely want your girlfriend's opinion.
05:33Cindy was her idea.
05:36Sorry I'm late.
05:37Speak of the devil.
05:39What's up, kitty cat?
05:41If we don't leave soon, we're going to hit Friday traffic.
05:43And at that point, we might as well leave tomorrow.
05:46Hi.
05:47John, are you leaving?
05:50I'm taking Carolyn to Hyannisport.
05:52Hmm.
05:52I'll be back Monday.
05:53Relax.
05:56Rosemary.
05:57He's very easy.
05:58He has a ball.
05:59Hi.
06:00Sweet boy.
06:00Hi.
06:05Sorry, I assumed he told you.
06:10Of course he didn't.
06:11But hey.
06:14Enjoy the trip.
06:16It's fun there.
06:17Hope you brushed up on current politics.
06:19Bye.
06:30Bye.
06:32Bye.
06:41Bye.
07:17This is amazing.
07:24You okay?
07:25Yeah, yeah, fine. I just want this weekend to be perfect.
07:28But my family's alive.
07:29No shit.
07:31It can't be any worse than Caroline and Hans, right?
07:36John, I swear to God, if there's another birthday, I will fucking kill you.
07:40No, no, it's just, it's going to be a lot of people.
07:45Well, I'm excited to meet Ethel.
07:47Don't call her Ethel. Say, Mrs. Kennedy.
07:54Okay.
07:55It's nothing personal. Ethel is just kind of intense.
08:00Even more so now that my mom's gone.
08:02Now she's the undisputed matriarch.
08:05It's like she can smell fear, you know?
08:11Now I am worried.
08:13You give a terrible pep talk.
08:15Mm-mm.
08:16You're going to do great.
08:16I'm worried.
08:45Let's go.
08:59I can't believe you're here.
09:42There's the golden oil!
09:47Get off me!
09:49Carolyn, this is my cousin Dave.
09:50Carolyn, important question.
09:51Why are you slumming it with my cousin?
09:53You know, he's not just a failed actor, but also a failed lawyer.
09:56Don't listen to this bonehead.
09:58You know, he wet the bed until he was ten.
10:03Heads up, Ethel doesn't let couples sit together.
10:05She says it prevents the flow of conversation.
10:07Oh, okay.
10:08She's going to stay here with me.
10:09Rules don't apply to Mr. Magazine.
10:11Is that the best you can do?
10:13John, will there be a swimsuit issue?
10:14Couples don't sit together.
10:17It's fine.
10:18I can handle having dinner five feet away from you.
10:22Come on.
10:24Yeah, so George.
10:25George.
10:27Is this dinner full?
10:28Hi, I'm Joe.
10:30Carolyn.
10:31This is Michael.
10:32Pleasure.
10:33He's here alone because his wife hates him.
10:35Hilarious.
10:35Now our kids are sick, so she's home taking care of them.
10:38Oh, why don't you get that sitter he loves so much to watch him?
10:41Carolyn, come sit with us.
10:44Kenny.
10:45Excuse me.
10:52This is Kara.
10:53Hi.
10:53Carolyn.
10:54Hello, everybody.
10:57Hello.
10:57Hello.
11:00Hello.
11:02Hello.
11:02The chef butchered our bourbon brioche bread pudding dessert spectacularly.
11:08But the good news is now there's a whole bunch of extra bourbon that needs to get drunk tonight.
11:15Hopefully some of you are up to the task.
11:18John, would you say grace, please?
11:20Sure.
11:35Bless us, O Lord, and these, thy gifts we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord.
11:45Amen.
11:45Amen.
11:46Amen.
11:48Nice job.
11:50All right.
11:56My roommate from Wellesley went into publicity, so she could meet a rich husband.
11:59Quit.
12:00No, not me.
12:01I love working.
12:02Well, I'd love working, too, if my job was to look at hot, half-naked men.
12:06I choose their underwear.
12:07They're like my Ken Bells.
12:09Well, with one big difference.
12:13Oh, Carolyn, tell Kara what you told me earlier about your dating philosophy.
12:18Date them, train them, dump them.
12:20Oh, my God.
12:20Date them, dump them.
12:21I love that.
12:23Isn't that great?
12:24Oh, that's amazing.
12:26Excuse me, Carolyn.
12:27Are you cold, dear?
12:30Yes, I'm looking at you.
12:32Are you cold?
12:34No, Ethel.
12:36Sorry, Mrs. Kennedy.
12:38Oh, I'm just growing flush, just looking at you with that thing on your shoulders.
12:59Well, I have to use the bathroom.
13:00Excuse me.
13:04How convenient.
13:05Right as Ethel's about to grill us.
13:08Bobby, can you just stay seated for now, please?
13:13Okey-dokey.
13:15And now for the real conversation.
13:17A lot going on in this country.
13:20And as always, I like to know your thoughts.
13:23Everyone's.
13:25Joe, do you think the U.S. should lift that trade embargo on Cuba?
13:29Well, we risk alienating our Latin American allies if we hold the line, but...
13:33Well, is it worth losing that Senate seat in Florida, John?
13:38Well, at some point, we have to stand up for what's right, regardless of short-term political costs.
13:44Somebody get this guy a magazine.
13:49So, on what terms would you lift the embargo, Dave?
13:52Oh, well, you start with political prisoners, and then you get Castro to hand over the stolen oil.
14:00Katie, how do you get him to the table?
14:03There's no recouping assets without normalized relations.
14:08What Kerry and McCain are doing with Vietnam, it's a workable model.
14:13Lifting the embargo.
14:15Open dialogue.
14:25Carolyn, what do you think?
14:28About what?
14:31Well, Katie was just saying that Clinton is looking into establishing diplomatic relations with Vietnam.
14:38Any political risks there?
14:47I thought we were talking about Cuba.
14:50Oh, well, it's all connected, dear.
14:54You might want to read about it.
14:57To Carolyn.
14:59We're facing this dinner table for the first time.
15:02Here, here, yes.
15:03Here, here, yes.
15:14Uh, uh, uh, Ethel hates me.
15:20And that shawl was final sale and cost a week's pay.
15:24And all I ate was corn.
15:26You did great.
15:28Maybe next time just don't sit so far away.
15:31Hey, Ethel likes to give their easy questions to people who are sat closest,
15:35and then they get progressively harder as she works her way down the table.
15:38Seriously?
15:39Why didn't you tell me?
15:40It's not that big of a deal.
15:41It's just a dinner party game.
15:43Didn't feel like a game.
15:45Felt like a hazing.
15:47Yeah, well, in this family, they go hand in hand.
15:49Well, that's fucked up.
15:52I love you.
15:54Let's get you to bed, okay?
15:55You'll feel better in the morning.
16:04My bag's gone.
16:08Ethel.
16:09She moved you to another room.
16:11Because of Vietnam?
16:12No.
16:13Because she's old-fashioned.
16:17I'm sorry.
16:18I'll get your bags.
16:18No.
16:19No, no, no.
16:19Stay.
16:21If I'm going to win, I have to play by your rules.
16:27Bye.
16:54She just creeps through the grass, though.
16:57It's like, turn along, Shakira Newell.
16:59You know, I'm only playing with her on play for now.
17:01Because otherwise she just calls everything out.
17:03Oh, come on.
17:04We're Kennedys.
17:05We play hard.
17:06That's what you're saying.
17:09Ah, Sleeping Beauty awakens.
17:13I was just looking for John.
17:16He's out dragging with the boys.
17:18You know, they tow each other behind a boat,
17:21and you have to hold on to a rope until you fall off.
17:23It's definitely not safe.
17:25What fun would that be?
17:27Could I trouble you for a coffee?
17:31A coffee served at breakfast,
17:34which you didn't sign up for.
17:49Carolyn, what's your dating mantra?
17:52Date them, train them, dump them?
17:55Oh, my God.
17:56No, that was just something my friend said.
18:00Oh, take credit.
18:01It's fabulous.
18:09I'm going to see if John's still afloat,
18:10but I'll see you guys later.
18:24Hi.
18:27Hi.
18:35It's like a match.
18:41Oh, it fell.
18:50It's giving up.
18:52There's enough time coming.
19:09Is it finally actually happening?
19:13Did hell freeze over?
19:15Screw you.
19:18And yes.
19:21Yeah, I think so.
19:46A lot of history there.
19:48Oh.
19:50Are you well?
19:51You look like you've seen a ghost.
19:55I'm good.
19:58Time will tell.
20:06Hey.
20:07I'm looking for you.
20:10Is it time to head back?
20:11Yes.
20:12But I was wondering,
20:14how would you feel about making a little detour?
20:19Okay.
20:58Mom, you still have it here.
21:02It's your sanctuary.
21:06It's so peaceful.
21:15Yeah, the thing about fishing is it's always so much better with a partner.
21:21What?
21:31I've been carrying this around with me, waiting for the perfect moment.
21:38But the problem is so many moments with you feel perfect.
21:42So I figured I had to just choose one.
21:46So I'm doing that now.
21:48Here.
21:55On this boat, on this day,
21:58with these fish,
22:03Carol and Jean Bissette,
22:05will you marry me?
22:25I love you.
22:29I do want to be with you.
22:33But there's...
22:35There's a lot of big stuff we have to talk about
22:40before we can get married.
22:45Like...
22:46Like how our lives really fit together.
22:50You know?
22:53Is that a no?
22:54No.
22:59I just...
23:01I think we need to have more of a...
23:05More of a conversation.
23:10So I can...
23:12really mean it when I say yes.
23:16Which I think is what we both want.
23:20So if you said yes right now,
23:24you wouldn't mean it.
23:28I don't know.
23:56It's way too soon to propose, John.
23:58It's way too soon to propose, John.
23:59That only dated for a month before they got engaged.
24:01That's completely different.
24:03And you know, Mom would be the first...
24:04Mom would love Carolyn.
24:10It's just like you're taking these big leaps
24:13before you're prepared.
24:15Between Carolyn and...
24:18this whole magazine thing.
24:19I run a magazine.
24:21It's not a thing.
24:23Take a look around.
24:24Ask my staff.
24:25But do you know what you're doing?
24:26Oh my God, I can't win.
24:28For years.
24:30There's always been this pressure
24:31for me to do something with my life.
24:32I'm finally doing something with my life
24:34and you're worried I haven't thought about it enough?
24:36I have!
24:37And I trust myself, okay?
24:48She said she has to think about it.
24:53Wait, so you mean you...
24:55She can't say yes
24:56until we have a talk about
24:57how our lives will fit together.
25:02What?
25:04What's so funny?
25:05Nothing, I just...
25:10I think I might be starting to like her.
25:17Those are my chips.
25:18I know, I want one.
25:41I'm surprised he called.
25:48I got an agent.
25:51Really?
25:52Mm-hmm.
25:53That's great!
25:54Well, it was...
25:56Um, an MTV casting director called
25:58and said that I was
25:59too famous for road rules.
26:10I got a girlfriend, too.
26:13She does makeup.
26:14And, um,
26:16she actually
26:18reshaped my eyebrows.
26:19Remember when I tweezed yours?
26:21Yeah, I do.
26:22And then there was nothing left.
26:23No, I swear they were cool.
26:25Mm-hmm.
26:30I'm happy for you.
26:37So how's Prince Charming?
26:44There really...
26:45There was nothing between us
26:46when we were hanging out.
26:48He was seeing someone else.
26:51I guess I was the only one
26:52that saw the writing on the wall.
26:54I'm sorry.
26:59I should have reached out,
27:01but then those pictures came out
27:02and I...
27:03felt like it was too late
27:04to say something
27:05and then I just kind of...
27:07It's okay.
27:08But I am.
27:09I'm...
27:12I'm sorry.
27:13It's okay.
27:15You know,
27:16I am used to you going, Abel.
27:19But it's very good to see you.
27:21You too.
27:23Well, if you'd let me
27:25be a real friend one day,
27:26I would...
27:27welcome the opportunity.
27:30I...
27:34I...
27:35I don't think
27:36that's a good idea.
27:37Okay.
27:40Yeah, that's fair.
27:42Uh-huh.
27:48Can I ask you a question?
27:51You are the most
27:53guarded
27:56and elusive
27:57woman
27:58that I have ever met.
28:00How are you able to
28:03date the most
28:04famous man in America?
28:10I know you, Carolyn.
28:20He asked me to marry him.
28:26I didn't say yes.
28:33Well, that makes me feel
28:34a little better.
28:37What do you mean?
28:38Because if the most
28:39eligible bachelor
28:40in all of America
28:42can't get you to commit,
28:45who can?
28:46I didn't say no.
28:47I said I think about it.
28:48How's that going?
28:52He's fine.
28:54He's focused on
28:56his magazine launch
28:57and this huge
28:58press conference
28:59with, like,
29:00every news outlet
29:01in America.
29:05Okay.
29:06From a man's perspective,
29:09if it's not a yes,
29:11then it's a no.
29:14You tell yourself
29:15whatever you need.
29:32Hey.
29:33We need to talk.
29:34Talk about what?
29:37You proposed to me
29:41weeks ago.
29:43Yeah, I know.
29:44That moment's
29:45kind of burned in my brain.
29:47You don't think it's weird
29:48we haven't talked about it
29:50at all?
29:55It's late.
29:56I've had a long day.
29:57Every day's a long day.
29:58I'm fine.
30:00Really.
30:01You're not.
30:05I know you're not, John.
30:08Please.
30:11Okay.
30:15Just always had
30:16this crazy notion
30:17that when I proposed
30:19to the woman I loved,
30:20she would say yes.
30:22And you said,
30:23I don't know.
30:25I don't know what to do
30:26with I don't know.
30:29I do know
30:30that I love you.
30:32It's not a question
30:33of if I want to spend
30:35the rest of my life
30:36with you.
30:36It's a question
30:37of if I'm cut out
30:38to be Mrs. JFK Jr.
30:41And I don't know
30:42if this is hard
30:43for you to understand
30:44because you've been famous
30:45since you were born,
30:46but this will radically
30:47change my life.
30:49I promise you
30:51our personal lives
30:52will be off limits
30:53to the public.
30:54Yeah, you can't
30:54promise that, though.
30:56You've never been
30:58married before.
30:59You have no idea
31:01how this will escalate
31:04everything.
31:05I know how to handle
31:06the press.
31:08I've watched my mom
31:09do it her whole life.
31:10I'll teach you.
31:12I'll show you.
31:14You won't be alone.
31:15I promise you
31:18I'll do everything
31:19in my power
31:20to protect us,
31:21protect you.
31:23Just trust me.
31:45Can I try on the ring?
32:08It's beautiful.
32:10It was my mom's.
32:18I'll wear it
32:19when it's just
32:19the two of us
32:20alone, okay?
32:22Wait, so you're
32:24still not sure?
32:25We have a lot
32:26to discuss,
32:27but I'm glad
32:27we're talking.
32:29Is this good?
32:31Yeah.
32:32Me too.
32:58Hello, Calvin.
33:01Well, they told me
33:02that you were going
33:02separately tonight.
33:03I am.
33:04The galleys from my book
33:05were mailed here
33:06by accident.
33:08Sent a messenger.
33:09So that's why
33:10you're in a bad mood?
33:12What makes you say that?
33:14Well, I felt it
33:14the moment I came
33:15off the elevator.
33:18Your emotional state
33:19is like the weather
33:19system in this place.
33:21Well, did you read it?
33:23Mm-hmm.
33:24Apparently,
33:25Carolyn's your protege.
33:27In fact,
33:27I'm barely even mentioned.
33:29You're opening
33:29a flagship store
33:30on Madison Avenue
33:32tonight.
33:32Are you really
33:32that star for attention?
33:34No, it's not about me.
33:35If her personal life
33:37is going to
33:38become a distraction,
33:40then she can't
33:40work here anymore.
33:41All due respect,
33:42you're the last person
33:43to be lecturing
33:44anyone on discretion.
33:45Oh, no, Kelly,
33:46I'm not doing this
33:47with you.
33:57You knew.
33:59From the beginning,
34:00you knew what
34:01you were signing up for.
34:05I didn't know
34:06how hard it would be.
34:14Do you remember
34:15how we used to be?
34:17Ten years ago.
34:19We were inseparable.
34:21You wouldn't make
34:22a move without me.
34:29Look at her.
34:31Every woman on Earth
34:33is wondering
34:34why she wouldn't say yes.
34:36What more
34:37could she possibly want?
34:39But she's smart.
34:41She's smarter than I was.
34:44she knows
34:45if she marries him
34:47that would be
34:48her defining
34:50characteristic.
34:53It would be like
34:54she never existed
34:55before she met him.
34:59If you could
35:01go back to the moment
35:02that I proposed to you,
35:04would you say no?
35:05Of course not.
35:13Come with me tonight.
35:17Hmm?
35:18Together,
35:18side by side,
35:19one last time.
35:21It's your night, too.
35:23Oh,
35:23it's never been
35:24my night.
35:34Let's go.
35:53Mazel tov.
35:54You overshadowed
35:55your own magazine launch.
35:57Now,
35:57who gives a shit
35:58about George
35:58when America's
35:59most eligible bachelor
36:00might be engaged
36:01and I had to read
36:02about it
36:02in the fucking newspaper?
36:05John Kennedy Jr.
36:07is just waiting around
36:08for his no-name girlfriend
36:09to decide
36:10whether to marry him.
36:11Right when we need people
36:12to buy into you
36:12now more than ever.
36:13And what?
36:14You end up in the press
36:15looking like a fucking chump?
36:17It's humiliating.
36:17You don't think I know that?
36:22I don't know
36:22how this got leaked.
36:23According to the Post,
36:24it's one of Kitty Cat's friends
36:26who says she's, uh,
36:28what,
36:28just, uh,
36:29taking her sweet time
36:30and she's gonna, uh,
36:31drag this thing out
36:32just to make you sweat.
36:33Carolyn had nothing
36:34to do with it.
36:36She's as invested
36:37in George as any of us,
36:38more so.
36:39She practically put
36:40the whole thing together.
36:45I have slept in this office
36:47every night
36:47for the past 40 days.
36:49I have showered
36:50in the men's room sink.
36:52I have been hospitalized
36:54twice with irritable bowel syndrome
36:55due to stress.
36:57I have begged,
36:58borrowed,
36:59and stolen nearly
36:59175 pages of ads for us.
37:02I have steered this ship
37:03and wrangled you
37:04for the past 18 months.
37:06Your girlfriend didn't
37:06put this whole thing together,
37:07John.
37:08I did.
37:08I am your partner
37:09and you fucked me!
37:18What do you want me to do?
37:22Shit.
37:23I know.
37:24I really wanted you
37:25to come to the George launch,
37:27but now...
37:28No, I wouldn't have come anyway.
37:30The focus should be
37:31in the magazine,
37:32not a relationship.
37:33Agreed.
37:38Berman thinks I should
37:39issue a statement.
37:41About what?
37:43The proposal.
37:45He thinks that
37:46it's all the press
37:47is going to want to talk about,
37:48so I should
37:49issue a statement
37:50saying that I didn't propose.
37:52Seriously?
37:55Well, you're not going
37:56when you do that.
38:03Right?
38:06The future of George
38:08hinges on this press conference.
38:11A lot of people
38:12have worked really hard
38:13for a lot of months.
38:17They're counting on me.
38:19I don't know what to do.
38:21I don't want to hurt you.
38:24But you understand, right?
38:25Sounds like
38:26you don't have a choice.
38:42Are you leaving?
38:45Carolyn...
38:46The dog has to go out.
38:50It's standing room only today
38:51in Federal Hall
38:52as John F. Kennedy Jr.
38:53prepares to unveil
38:54his highly anticipated
38:55political magazine,
38:57George.
38:58No stranger
38:59to media attention,
39:00Kennedy recently generated
39:01a slew of headlines
39:02regarding his
39:03alleged proposal
39:04to Calvin Klein publicist
39:06Carolyn Bessette,
39:07a proposal that,
39:08according to reports,
39:09went unanswered.
39:10But Kennedy's office
39:11set the record straight,
39:12saying, quote,
39:13the stories
39:14regarding an engagement
39:15between John F. Kennedy Jr.
39:17and his girlfriend
39:18are false.
39:18John is not engaged
39:20and he did not propose
39:22to Carolyn Bessette.
39:23End quote.
39:24Kennedy's team
39:25chalked the rumors
39:26up to a slow news day.
39:28All right,
39:28we are getting word
39:29that Kennedy
39:30is taking the stage.
39:31Let's cut to our lead
39:32from Federal Hall.
39:33Without further ado,
39:34here he is,
39:35my friend,
39:36John Kennedy Jr.
39:38Hi.
39:41Ladies and gentlemen,
39:42meet George.
39:57The answers to the most
39:59frequently asked
40:00personal questions
40:01are as follows.
40:02Yes,
40:03no,
40:04we're merely good friends,
40:06none of your business.
40:07Honestly,
40:08she's my cousin
40:08from Rhode Island.
40:10I've worn both,
40:11and maybe someday,
40:12but not in New Jersey.
40:15I think this is a good time
40:16for questions.
40:17Yes,
40:18yes,
40:18yes.
40:28Carolyn.
40:30Hey,
40:30honey.
40:31Honey.
40:34Honey.
40:35Honey.
40:35Honey.
40:36Honey.
40:36Honey.
40:37Honey.
40:39Honey.
40:40Honey.
40:40Honey.
40:47Honey.
41:01Apparently,
41:02it was the most widely covered
41:03magazine launch in history.
41:05At the after-party,
41:06Berman was mobbed by advertisers.
41:08It was like his version of an orgy.
41:11That's funny.
41:14I know you're unhappy.
41:16Can we talk?
41:17About what?
41:19Sounds like everything went great with you and Vermin.
41:29Carolyn, stop!
41:31Carolyn!
41:32Come on, stop!
41:35Carolyn, come on!
41:36Do not grab me!
41:38What am I supposed to do?
41:39You're running away from me.
41:44Carolyn!
41:46Oh, so when you want to talk,
41:47I'm supposed to just drop everything and listen,
41:49but when I want to talk, I have to chase you through a park?
41:51I just need space. Jesus.
41:53You know what I think?
41:55I think you can't handle a partner
41:56who is emotionally mature enough to talk to you
41:58because what you really need is an excuse to escape.
42:00You don't know what I mean.
42:01Actually, I do.
42:02You need control.
42:04You need to be the one who abandons.
42:05It's obvious and, quite frankly, lame.
42:07You want to talk abandoning?
42:08You looked me in the eye
42:10and promised me you would do everything in your power
42:13to keep our private life out of the press.
42:15And then at the first chance,
42:17you turn around and make a public statement
42:19about our private life to the press.
42:22And it wasn't even true.
42:24How can I trust you?
42:25You said it was okay.
42:26I said it sounds like you don't have a choice,
42:29but you hear what you want to hear.
42:31Berman said that we have to do...
42:32Oh, really?
42:34Berman made you do it.
42:35You made me do it.
42:36None of this would have happened
42:37if you just accepted my proposal in the first place
42:39like a normal fucking person.
42:41I'm sorry.
42:42I need a time to think about a proposal
42:43that came out of nowhere.
42:45It came out of love.
42:47But you know what?
42:48I take it back.
42:49No, John.
42:50If it's too hard of a decision for you to make,
42:52let me relieve you of the burden.
42:53Give it.
42:53Ow, John, stop it.
42:55No.
43:03John, stay.
43:04Stay.
43:05What the fuck is the matter with you?
43:07John?
43:12Do you know how lucky you are?
43:14You should be grateful.
43:16Why?
43:17Because everyone in the world wants to marry you?
43:19No.
43:20Because you're a crazy, complicated person
43:22and a pain in the ass,
43:23and I still love you.
43:24And you're easy?
43:26You pretend to be some humble man of the people,
43:30but you're a spoiled brat
43:32obsessed with his own image.
43:34That's why you had no choice
43:36but to deny the engagement.
43:37You weren't worried about George.
43:39You didn't seem to give a shit what Berman wants.
43:42No, you had to deny the engagement
43:44because you couldn't handle the world
43:45knowing there was a woman on planet Earth
43:47who might not want to marry you.
43:51You're just looking for the escape hatch now, huh?
43:54Talk to me, fucking pussy.
43:57What, are you scared of me, huh?
43:58You're the one who's scared.
44:00You're terrified of committing to this relationship.
44:03I may act impulsively,
44:04but at least when I'm in,
44:05I'm all in.
44:07Are you even capable of that?
44:09Do you even know what you want?
44:15Friday.
44:21What happens if I
44:23don't fit into your life?
44:25It's a...
44:25It'll be a disaster for you
44:28and everyone will blame me.
44:31I don't ever want to get divorced.
44:34Well, neither do I.
44:38I saw what it did to my mom
44:40and I promised myself
44:41I'd be...
44:41I'd be really sure
44:43before I married someone.
44:45You can't eliminate risk entirely.
44:48All people are risky.
45:00Can I have my ring back?
45:13Why can't we just love each other?
45:16Why does it have to be so hard?
45:25Come on, let's go.
45:28You can't just sit here on the camera and cry.
45:29People are looking.
45:30I don't care.
45:36You have to move.
45:44You've already got my ring.
45:45You're not getting my dog, too.
45:52He's our dog.
45:56He's our dog.
46:05Why didn't you tell me
46:06about breakfast sign-up?
46:08At Hyannis.
46:10I wanted to let you sleep.
46:13I didn't think you'd want to make breakfast
46:15at 7.30 with Ethel.
46:18Was I wrong?
46:23No.
46:28I don't think I can do
46:29organized family activities.
46:31You don't have to.
46:34I don't want to change you.
46:37I don't want to bring you into my world.
46:39I want you to pull me out of it.
46:41I want you to be my family.
46:44You and me.
46:47Our own private island,
46:48even when we're in a crowded room.
46:57I want a simple life.
46:59I won't have that
47:00if I'm with someone
47:01who wants to be president.
47:03Carolyn, I can barely run George.
47:05You can be coy with the press all you want,
47:06but if I'm going to marry you,
47:07I'm with the truth.
47:10Let's not ignore the reality
47:12of who you are
47:14and who your family is.
47:20Do you think you might want to be president one day?
47:25No.
47:28I don't want that.
47:31I don't want to be a great man.
47:34I just want to be a good man.
47:37Good partner.
47:39To you.
47:43I love that you don't feel the need
47:45to please me or anybody else.
47:49I even love that
47:51you didn't say yes when I proposed.
47:54It was weird.
47:55I think I talked about fish.
48:00Fishing partners.
48:05I thought that you didn't say yes
48:07because you were waiting
48:08for a more eloquent proposal.
48:12No, I liked what you said.
48:15Really?
48:15Yeah.
48:19I never...
48:21I never thought about...
48:25a proposal
48:26or
48:28or being someone's wife.
48:30I never imagined
48:33getting engaged
48:33or growing old together.
48:35So when you asked me,
48:37I had to ask myself,
48:39do I want this?
48:40And
48:42to be honest,
48:43I don't think marriage is necessary.
48:46But I'm down to do it
48:47with you.
48:56Oh, my God.
48:59Oh, my God.
49:05Dad.
49:10Dad.
49:15Yes, Dad.
49:18Yes.
49:19Yes.
49:21Yes.
49:21Yes.
49:25Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I'll marry you and I'll take the risk with you
49:36and drive each other crazy for so long and then we both shall live, yes, yes, yes.
49:57I saw the dreams you never thought you'd lose, tossed along the way.
50:12Letters that you never meant to send, lost or thrown away.
50:25Now we're grown up orphans, I never knew their names, we don't belong to no one, that's a shame.
50:37You could hide beside me, maybe for a while, and I won't tell no one your name.
50:51And I won't tell them your name.
51:11You could hide beside me, maybe for sellers, and you can't hide it.
