Original artwork, not a still
I’m an experienced woman. I’ve been around. Well, all right, I might not’ve been around, but I’ve been…nearby.
— Mary Tyler Moore • 1970

What it means
Our interpretation.
Mary first claims to be experienced and to have been around, then revises the claim to having been nearby. The retreat undercuts her assertion without specifying what kind of experience she means.
