   Joseph Nebus to All   
   14 September 2007 - Patricia Heaton, Han   
   17 Sep 07 22:04:30   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Patricia Heaton:   
   	- They went to Europe with a lot of people.  They went to Rome,   
   to Venice, to Cleveland.   
   	   
   	- Pictures!  Where's Mom?  Where's Mom?  She's at World of   
   Whiskies.  Here's ancient ruins.  Here's mom with some wine.  Here's   
   everyone with champagne.  They just had a sip even though they're young.   
    And half a cigarette.  And the first two minutes of Conan.   
   	   
   	- She tells her husband not to let the kids watch the show.   
   ``Now, surely -- '' Don't call me Shirley.  They're 8, 10, 12, and 14.   
   Her husband's taken care of explaining sex.  They have these books, too,   
   sex manuals from the 70s, hairy Swedish people giving birth in their   
   living room.   
   	   
   	- They wouldn't talk about the sex talk.  The kids knew   
   something was up when it was just him and dad out to dinner.  This could   
   put them off private meetings with their father.   
   	   
   	- Conan never thought of sex as a 'Let's go to the Sizzler'   
   talk.  Conan's son is too young to explain sex to, he still thinks his   
   penis is a hand and it can grab things, which is going too far.  Conan   
   expects he'll lie when they ask about sex.  Conan's parents still   
   haven't told him.   
   	   
   	- Single-camera shoes are much harder than multiple-camera   
   shows, so she resisted doing a new show until it came along.   
   	   
   	- She used to edit news, in the mid-to-late 70s.  They had a   
   specific theme song for their news station, very corny, really great.   
   She has a clip.   
   	   
   	- It's more of a YouTube clip than an actual tape, though.   
      
      
   Handyman Tony:   
   	- Tony comes in for Max.  What's up?  That thing he wanted done,   
   it's done.  The squeaky floorboard won't squeak no more.  It got a   
   little tricky, buckling and twisting, but he took it out for good by   
   shoving his screwdriver into a knothole.  Max wishes he could've seen   
   that.   
   	   
   	- But while he was fixing the floor he found a drainpipe and   
   he's worried it'll leak all over.  There's duct tape now but it'll need   
   a more permanent fix.   
   	   
   	- Conan wants to know what Max is involved in.  Conan's seen too   
   many Sopranos episodes to think he's some hit man.  Tony comes back: you   
   know that skinny red shutter that's a little unhinged and won't stop   
   flapping?  He can have that torn out, no extra charge.  No, but keep an   
   eye on it; if it gets any worse, take it out.  Tony sits down and   
   watches Conan.   
   	   
   	- Conan fantasizes being a swinging shutter (hey, that's an   
   unusual bit of cinematography), and they'll be right back.
