00:00Thanks again. I tell you, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't picked me up at my mechanics this morning.
00:04Yeah. Gee, what would you have done? I mean, I guess you could have taken the bus, which gets off right in front of the garage,
00:11or maybe hopped on the metro, which stopped a couple blocks away.
00:16I don't know, jumped in one of the 30,000 taxis that go by that place every five minutes.
00:23You could have just said no.
00:25Well, I thought it was implied by the way I was banging the receiver against my nightstand.
00:31Okay. Okay. Nobody panic. Well, I'll get through this.
00:35What happened, Miles? Forget to take Melrose Place again?
00:38Mr. Lansing is in the hospital. He had a heart attack on the way into work this morning.
00:43God, is he okay?
00:43All I know is it's touch and go, so we better get over to Sisters of Mercy as soon as possible.
00:47Okay. Just let me go, Mr.
00:49Yeah, I'll go and get...
00:51I did it.
00:53What are you talking about?
00:54I did it.
00:56I gave Mr. Lansing a heart attack.
00:58Oh, come on. The guy doesn't do any exercise. He eats shit out of a squirt bottle.
01:05I am telling you, I did it.
01:07He was screaming at me over his car phone when I heard him yell,
01:09It's not my time!
01:11And then silence.
01:12Oh, God, if he dies, I'm dead.
01:14Miles, no one's dying.
01:15Stan will pull through.
01:17But what if he doesn't?
01:18If he doesn't, then we'll all be sad.
01:20But someone new will come in.
01:22Someone will see things through a fresh eye.
01:25Someone will see that...
01:26That I haven't won a Humboldt in four years,
01:29and I'm 13 pounds heavier than when we started this job.
01:31Oh, God, if he dies, I'm dead!
01:33Mr. Lansing, come on, what's going on?
01:37Dr. Curtis.
01:41Sorry, my fault.
01:43You called me crazy, but if I were lying on a gurney in the middle of a hallway,
01:46I'd sure as hell check to make sure my wheels were locked.
01:51Hey, guys, guys, wait for me.
01:53Miles, where have you been?
01:54You said you were just going to the men's room.
01:55Oh, well, I was just...
01:57What's that?
01:58What?
01:58Oh, nothing.
01:59Frank, he got Stan a box of chocolates.
02:02Get it from him.
02:06Mine.
02:06I bought it, and I need it more than you.
02:10This is best great.
02:11We have no gift.
02:12We can't go in there empty-handed.
02:14You know what?
02:15We're not going in empty-handed.
02:17Oh, sure, maybe we're not sucking up to Stan
02:19by forking out some stupid last-minute gift.
02:22But what we're bringing is the greatest gift of all,
02:24the gift of love.
02:25I'm sure that's what really matters to Stan.
02:29Excuse me, do you know which room Mr. Lansing is in?
02:32I've got flowers here for Mike Wallace.
02:34Oh, well, I'll take care of those for you.
02:38Okay, I'm covered.
02:39Okay.
02:55Stan, it's Murphy.
03:02I brought you some flowers.
03:05Mike Wallace was going to pitch in for them,
03:07but you know old Mike.
03:08He's pretty tight with a buck.
03:11I came to, Mr. Lansing.
03:13Miles Soberberg.
03:15I brought you some...
03:15We brought you some chocolate.
03:19Chocolate.
03:19Um, uh-huh.
03:21Yes, sir.
03:21And these are Belgian.
03:23I picked them out myself
03:25because I know how much you like them.
03:27You brought chocolate?
03:29That's right.
03:30Did you know they hand-dipped each and every one of these?
03:32You brought chocolates to a man
03:35who just had a heart attack?
03:36What are you trying to kill me?
03:38Get rid of those things.
03:40He brings chocolate.
03:41Is he crazy or can't bring...
03:43What did you throw them away for, bud?
03:45None of them perfectly good chocolate.
03:47Put them over here
03:49where they can reach them.
03:50Right over there.
03:51Oh, Stan, I'm not up on the latest research,
03:54but I've got to believe
03:55that sitting up and screaming
03:56till your veins throb
03:57can't be a good thing for a heart patient.
04:00Relax, Murphy.
04:01I'm not having a heart attack.
04:02What?
04:03This is an elaborate ruse.
04:06Truth is,
04:06I came in here
04:08to have a little nipping top done on my eyes.
04:10What do you think?
04:11It looks great, sir.
04:12Quite an improvement.
04:14I haven't had it done yet, you idiot!
04:18Pass me your chocolate.
04:19See if you can find the nougat.
04:21Nougat.
04:21Nougat.
04:22You baked a heart attack?
04:24I had no choice, Murphy.
04:26You know those cutthroats
04:28at the other networks.
04:29They catch wind
04:30that I'm here for elective surgery
04:32and boom, suddenly,
04:34Home Improvement
04:35is double-pumped
04:36against us
04:36all over the schedule.
04:38There was an unwritten law
04:40that says
04:41you don't count the program
04:44against a man
04:45who could croak
04:46at any moment.
04:49Why do you have to touch
04:51every chocolate thing?
04:53We take the water.
04:54No, I'm sorry, sir.
04:55It's just they all look alike.
04:56It's very hard to tell.
04:58There's a chalk!
04:59There's a chalk!
04:59It's just...
05:00Everything okay in here?
05:06Yes.
05:07Okay, well, you just yell
05:08if you need anything.
05:11They make a whole thing
05:13to tell you
05:13you're going to forget it!
05:15I'm afraid
05:15where your hands
05:16once was.
05:17Don't touch anything.
05:19Where was I?
05:20Uh, let's see.
05:21You were yelling at Frank
05:22and then you were yelling at Miles
05:23and then you were yelling
05:24at Frank again.
05:25Oh, yeah, you were saying
05:26how glad you were we came.
05:28Exactly.
05:29I'm glad you came
05:30because aside from lying here
05:32motionless
05:33while a parade
05:34of visiting CBS celebrities
05:37came through here
05:38sucking up to me,
05:39I've had nothing to do
05:41but watch television.
05:43And that led me
05:44to a great epiphany.
05:47You know what epiphany means,
05:49Poindexter?
05:52Uh, yes, sir.
05:53It's a moment
05:54of enlightenment.
05:55No!
05:56It's a moment
05:57of enlightenment.
05:59Where you see everything
06:01with laser-like clarity.
06:04You want to know
06:05what my epiphany was?
06:08Everything on TV,
06:10it's all crap.
06:13Wait a minute, Stan.
06:13I told you the same thing
06:15a few months ago
06:15and you almost had me fired.
06:17What can I say, Murphy?
06:19You're like the oracle
06:20at Delphi.
06:22Well, I find your honesty
06:25refreshing, Mr. Lansing.
06:27It takes an awfully big man
06:28to admit what you just admitted.
06:30I had to admit it.
06:31What was I thinking
06:32when I put on those shows
06:33Bones, McGee, M.D.
06:35and squeaking seniors?
06:38And that's my grandpa.
06:41I've got to admit,
06:43those were some pretty dumb shows.
06:44I'll say the dumbest.
06:46I love those shows.
06:49But nobody who still has
06:51their prostate does.
06:53That's why we have to get
06:56the young viewers,
06:57kids.
06:58So, starting today,
06:59I'm giving everyone
07:00on my shows a choice.
07:02Either bring in
07:02a young, fresh face
07:04or a dog.
07:07You know, like that
07:08dog on Fraser.
07:09That's a cute dog on Fraser.
07:11He jumps straight up
07:12in the air.
07:13Woof!
07:13Like that.
07:14Mr. Lansing,
07:16as executive producer
07:17of FYI,
07:18I have to ask you
07:18to reconsider this move.
07:20I mean,
07:20given your current condition,
07:21is this really the best time
07:23to be making
07:23such a major policy decision?
07:25You know,
07:26I hadn't taken
07:27into consideration
07:28that I am in the process
07:30of undergoing
07:30a very invasive
07:31surgical procedure.
07:33Thank you, sir.
07:34But I created
07:36the whole 63-64 season
07:38while hooked up
07:39to an iron lung.
07:40What are you,
07:41suddenly my medical advisor?
07:43Shut up!
07:44He made me crazy.
07:46So, because he made me crazy,
07:48you don't get a choice.
07:49I'll pick it for you,
07:51McGovern.
07:51Who?
07:52Huh?
07:53Former MTV VJ
07:55and news personality
07:57McGovern
07:58is joining you
08:00at FYI.
08:01An MTV VJ?
08:03You know what, Stan?
08:04I think we'd rather
08:04have that jumping dog.
08:07I want this McGovern girl,
08:10and I want you all
08:11to woo her,
08:12and I will consider it
08:13a personal failure
08:15if we don't manage
08:16to secure her.
08:17A personal failure, sir?
08:19You shouldn't be
08:19so hard on yourself.
08:21Your personal failure,
08:22Silverberg,
08:23not mine!
08:25What kind of monsters
08:28are you people?
08:32These monsters
08:33have a heart to tell.
08:35Stan, would you like me
08:35to get them out of your room?
08:37Yes, please, Jake.
08:38Come on, can I?
08:38I can get you to see
08:40how this move would be
08:42good for a Russian.
08:43If you ever want to
08:44practice medicine again.
08:48Let's see,
08:49where did we leave off?
08:50I believe it was, uh,
08:53Chapter 3 of Treasure Island.
08:54Ah.
08:56About noon,
08:58I stopped at the captain's door
08:59with some cooling drinks
09:00and medicines.
09:01He was lying
09:12very much
09:13as we had left him,
09:14only a little higher,
09:17and he seemed
09:17both weak
09:18and excited.
09:22Nothing beats
09:23the classics.
09:27For summer...
09:28Where is Murphy?
09:29She knew I wanted
09:31to talk strategy
09:32before McGovern got here.
09:33Relax, Miles.
09:34She'll be here.
09:36Although,
09:36if the woman
09:37didn't find a legitimate
09:37way to get out of this,
09:39my hat's off.
09:40Find the whole affair
09:41demeaning and insulting.
09:42I'm with Jim.
09:43You know,
09:43every year,
09:44the network takes something
09:45that's not broken
09:46and tries to fix it.
09:47First, they stick us
09:48with that idiot
09:49Miller Redfield.
09:50Then they shove
09:51that moron
09:52Jerry Gold at us.
09:54Oh.
09:55And then,
09:55it was Peter Hunt's turn.
09:58Peter Hunt.
09:59Talk about the exact
10:00wrong chemistry
10:01for this show.
10:02Frank,
10:03our ratings went up
10:04five points
10:04every time Peter appeared.
10:06Well, sure,
10:07if you're gonna use
10:08ratings as your standard.
10:10Not to mention.
10:11The network had to
10:12turn away advertisers
10:13during the weeks
10:14he was on.
10:14Well, yeah,
10:15if you're only thinking
10:16about advertising,
10:17just lay off, okay?
10:19I was not thrilled
10:21by this at first either,
10:22but I did a little research,
10:23and, well,
10:24I think we may be
10:25judging McGovern too soon.
10:27Oh, I agree.
10:28No, hear me out.
10:29She's extremely articulate,
10:31she's a tenacious interviewer,
10:33and did you know
10:33she's MTV's
10:34third most popular
10:35personality behind
10:36Skis and Mojo Abramson?
10:38Oh, no.
10:40She's here.
10:40Listen,
10:41you people can't say
10:42anything nice.
10:42For God's sake,
10:43just sit there and smile.
10:44Please?
10:45Hey, Miles.
10:45I think this young woman
10:47wants to see you.
10:48Well,
10:49you must be McGovern.
10:51Welcome to Phil's.
10:52Nice place.
10:53Well, thanks.
10:54Hopefully you'll be seeing
10:55a whole lot more of it
10:56because Phil's
10:56is the official watering hole.
10:57I was being ironic.
10:59This place is a pit.
11:03Hey, listen.
11:05If you think
11:06I wouldn't throw you
11:06out of here
11:07just because you're a woman,
11:08you should go have a chat
11:09with Bella Absinthe.
11:12All she did
11:13was look at me funny.
11:15Nice guy.
11:22Yeah.
11:23That was me
11:24being ironic again?
11:37Well,
11:38this just isn't
11:39going to work out,
11:39is it?
11:42What?
11:42Why?
11:43Did he make a face
11:44at you, Frank?
11:44I swear to God.
11:45You didn't have to.
11:47None of you had to.
11:48You people
11:48don't want me here.
11:50And why should you?
11:52Well,
11:52maybe it's because
11:53my audience
11:54spends $1.5 billion
11:55on hair care products
11:57every year
11:57while your audience
11:59unfortunately
12:00can't shampoo
12:01without a nurse's aid.
12:04Well,
12:04she does have a point.
12:06Our audience is old
12:07but feisty.
12:07Yeah,
12:08I don't even think
12:08it matters.
12:09My negotiations
12:10with the network
12:10have sort of
12:11deteriorated.
12:12Really?
12:13Oh,
12:13that's too bad.
12:15I say no.
12:16I do not
12:17want to do the show.
12:18They throw money at me.
12:19I say no again.
12:21They throw even
12:21more money at me.
12:23But I'm sure
12:24it's nothing
12:24they haven't put
12:25you guys through.
12:26Oh, yeah.
12:29Let's just forget
12:30about all this
12:30for right now.
12:31What can we tell you
12:32about our show?
12:32You can pretty much
12:33start about anywhere.
12:34I don't think
12:35I've ever actually
12:35sat through an entire
12:36F-I-Y.
12:37It's F-Y-I.
12:39Huh?
12:40It's F-Y-I.
12:41F-I-Y would spell
12:42for information
12:43your.
12:44Ah.
12:46And that would be wrong.
12:48F-I-Y.
12:50F-Y-I.
12:51What's the difference?
12:52I'll tell you
12:53the difference.
12:5518 years of blood,
12:56sweat, and tears
12:57building F-Y-I
12:59into a household name.
13:00That's the difference.
13:01Oh, sure,
13:02we don't have
13:03go-go dancers
13:04and psychedelic lighting,
13:05yet somehow
13:06we managed to put
13:07on a damn fine show.
13:09Ah, so I've been told.
13:10What I don't get
13:11is how I would fit in.
13:12Frank, can you help
13:13me out with that?
13:14Why should I do this?
13:16To tell you the truth,
13:18I...
13:19I...
13:19I...
13:20I...
13:20I...
13:21I...
13:21I...
13:22I...
13:22I...
13:22I...
13:23I...
13:23I...
13:23I...
13:23I...
13:23I...
13:23I...
13:24I...
13:24I...
13:24I...
13:24I...
13:24I...
13:25I...
13:25I...
13:25I...
13:25I...
13:25I...
13:25I...
13:25I...
13:26I...
13:26I...
13:26I...
13:26I...
13:26We're on every week
13:28and every week
13:29we win our time slot.
13:30Yes, siree,
13:31this is one heck
13:32of a popular show.
13:33Well, then tell me something,
13:34if this show's so popular,
13:36why is the network
13:36so desperate to get me?
13:38You know,
13:38we can't figure
13:39that one out either,
13:40so why don't you
13:40just take your big slurp
13:42and...
13:42And come on aboard!
13:44Because who's to say
13:46the best damn magazine
13:47show on television
13:48doesn't have room
13:49to get just a little bit better?
13:51All right,
13:51I have to admit,
13:52I did see one show
13:53last year,
13:54pretty much blue,
13:55except for this one segment,
13:56Murphy did
13:57on the elections
13:57in South Africa.
13:59It was amazing!
14:01Now, that's the kind
14:01of journalism
14:02I would kill to do!
14:07Hi!
14:08Murphy Brad,
14:08it's Flanders.
14:09Hey, McGovern.
14:10Um, Murphy,
14:11McGovern was just telling us
14:13how much she loved
14:13your segment
14:14on South Africa.
14:15Yeah,
14:15how the rest
14:16of the show blew.
14:17Uh-huh,
14:17Phil,
14:17you're a pit!
14:18And she got the name
14:19of the show wrong.
14:20Hmm.
14:22So,
14:22you like my segment,
14:24huh?
14:24Oh, yeah.
14:26It was a perfect example
14:27of what you said
14:28a couple years ago.
14:29The, uh,
14:30true goal
14:31of any journalist
14:32should be
14:32to inform the uninformed.
14:34Harper's,
14:34April 92.
14:35You don't have to
14:36take a look at that.
14:37I've got some copies
14:38in my office.
14:40So,
14:41you read it,
14:41did you?
14:42Hey,
14:43please,
14:43your article
14:44is the reason
14:45I'm doing what I'm doing.
14:46When I got out of Harvard...
14:47Harvard!
14:48You said.
14:50Uh-oh.
14:50Yeah,
14:52anyway,
14:52I asked myself,
14:53what is the best way
14:54to reach people my age?
14:56I thought,
14:56sure,
14:57I could stand in front
14:57of the gap
14:58with a bullhorn,
14:59but that seemed messy
15:00and time-consuming.
15:01So,
15:02MTV was the next
15:03logical choice.
15:04You know,
15:04Murphy has said
15:05that MTV
15:06is exactly where
15:07she would go
15:08if she were starting
15:09out today.
15:09She never said that.
15:10Yes, she did.
15:11No, she did.
15:11I remember.
15:12Why are you saying
15:13she did?
15:14Anyway,
15:14it's like I was telling
15:15Barbara Walters
15:16this morning.
15:16Barbara Walters?
15:17Yeah,
15:18she and Hugh Downs
15:19are trying to woo me
15:20over to 2020.
15:22Ugh,
15:22Hugh Downs.
15:24For some reason,
15:25he thought I'd be
15:25interested in hearing
15:26about some boring
15:27bridge club
15:28he belongs to.
15:29My wife and I
15:30belong to that
15:31boring bridge club.
15:32In fact,
15:33we started
15:33that boring bridge club.
15:35Well,
15:36then you better
15:36talk to Hugh
15:37because he's out there
15:37taking all the credit.
15:42Let me tell you,
15:43McGovern,
15:43you don't want
15:44to go on 2020.
15:45No,
15:45you're right.
15:46Actually,
15:46I'm leaning
15:46towards Primetime Live.
15:48Diane Sawyer
15:48and that Donaldson
15:49guy were pretty
15:50persuasive over
15:51dinner last night.
15:52Let me tell you
15:52something about
15:53old Sam Donaldson.
15:54If he sees
15:55you've got a free
15:56moment,
15:56he forces you
15:57to help him
15:58write dirty limericks
15:59about Ted Koppel.
16:00Is that what
16:00you want,
16:00McGovern?
16:02You know,
16:03Murphy,
16:03McGovern was
16:04just telling us
16:05how much money
16:05the network
16:06is trying to
16:06throw at her.
16:07Who knows?
16:08She takes the job.
16:09She might be
16:10the highest paid
16:10person on FYI.
16:12Yeah,
16:12yeah,
16:13so I'll renegotiate.
16:14Why don't you
16:14come see that
16:15office right now?
16:15Come on.
16:18So,
16:20you read the
16:21interview,
16:21did you?
16:21No.
16:21You know,
16:22it was a better
16:22one that landed
16:23monthly a couple
16:24months later.
16:25The picture
16:25wasn't great,
16:26but the image
16:27is not better.
16:32And finally,
16:33on your right,
16:34you'll see the
16:34gash my heel
16:35made after I
16:36was ejected
16:37from President
16:37Reagan's very
16:38first Star Wars
16:39press conference
16:40in May of 1983.
16:43Wow,
16:43I love history.
16:44Yeah,
16:45me too.
16:47My first
16:47presidential
16:48press conference.
16:49Thanks for letting
16:50me tag along.
16:51Oh,
16:51hey,
16:51don't mention it.
16:52Now,
16:52I have a list
16:52of questions here,
16:53but I'm not really
16:54sure how this
16:54kind of thing works.
16:55Is there some
16:55sort of order
16:56I'm supposed
16:57to be going in?
16:57Oh,
16:57look,
16:58you're part of
16:58the FYI team
16:59now.
16:59Just dive in
17:00and don't let go.
17:01And don't let
17:01the White House
17:02pump and
17:02circumstance through you.
17:03These things
17:04are all basically
17:04the same.
17:05The last press
17:06conference,
17:06I covered a
17:07green-haired guy
17:07with six
17:08naval rings
17:08and the words
17:09kill your mother
17:10tattooed across
17:11his back,
17:11set his guitar
17:12and three roadies
17:13on fire.
17:15Oh.
17:16That happened
17:17here once.
17:19Looks like
17:20there's a couple
17:20seats over there.
17:21What?
17:22And sit behind
17:23Britt Hume?
17:24Please,
17:24the president
17:24would never see us.
17:26Britt's got a head
17:26the size of a gourd.
17:29How about over there?
17:31Oh,
17:31you are so young.
17:33Trust me,
17:33the place you
17:34don't want to be
17:35is between
17:35Cokie Roberts
17:36and an aisle.
17:37The woman's got
17:37a bladder
17:38the size of a thimble.
17:39I think we
17:42want to be
17:43ah,
17:44right there.
17:44That's the perfect spot.
17:45I get it.
17:46Close enough
17:47to the president
17:47but not too far
17:48from the exit.
17:49Well,
17:50actually,
17:50Helen Thomas
17:51says the funniest
17:52little hissy fit
17:52if you take her seat.
17:54She just got up
17:54to make a phone call.
17:55If we hurry,
17:56we can knock her notes
17:57on the floor.
17:59And we will
18:00assist the earthquake
18:01victims.
18:04Okay,
18:05I've got about
18:06five minutes.
18:06I'll take a few minutes.
18:08Yes.
18:08Good afternoon,
18:09Mr. President.
18:10Can you tell me
18:11how you feel
18:11about efforts
18:12to repeal
18:12the capital gains tax?
18:14Oh, man,
18:14what kind of
18:15horrible question is that?
18:16Why don't you
18:16just ask him
18:17how he feels
18:17about french fries?
18:21I don't know
18:21if you're aware
18:22of this,
18:22but you send
18:22that out loud.
18:23Hey,
18:23someone lobs
18:24a softball question
18:25like that.
18:25It's our obligation
18:26as responsible
18:27journalists
18:28to mock
18:28and humiliate him
18:29in front of his peers.
18:30Mr. President,
18:33Mr. President,
18:33Mr. President,
18:34yes.
18:35How do you feel
18:36about the civil war
18:37in Chechnya?
18:38Well,
18:38duh.
18:39Hey,
18:39I'm going on a limb here,
18:40but you think
18:41he's against it?
18:44You're really getting
18:45the ring of this.
18:46Next question.
18:46Mr. President,
18:47okay.
18:49Okay,
18:49Motherfee.
18:50Yes.
18:51Regarding Whitewater,
18:52given that there's
18:53not a shred of proof
18:54any federal laws
18:55were violated,
18:56how do you feel
18:56about the Republicans'
18:57threat to further
18:58investigate the matter?
19:00Uh,
19:00I think this...
19:02why don't you just
19:03ask him
19:03if he could be
19:04any animal,
19:05what animal
19:05would he be?
19:10It's very funny.
19:12We've all had
19:12a good laugh,
19:13but now it's done.
19:14So,
19:15Mr. President?
19:16I, uh...
19:17Really, Murphy?
19:18I mean,
19:18how do you feel
19:19about Whitewater?
19:20No offense,
19:20but talk about
19:21your softball questions.
19:22Excuse me?
19:24Well,
19:24all that will...
19:25Putting Murphy's
19:27famous liberal bias aside,
19:29I think the question
19:30we should be asking is,
19:31how do you account
19:32for the Whitewater files
19:33that mysteriously
19:35disappeared from
19:36the Rose Law Firm?
19:37I know I still
19:38have not heard
19:38a satisfactory answer.
19:40Have any of you guys?
19:42First of all,
19:43I'm not sure I agree.
19:44And second of all,
19:45shut up and sit down!
19:46Now...
19:47No way!
19:49I will not
19:49shut up and sit down.
19:51Maybe you
19:52should shut up
19:53and sit down.
19:55Hey!
19:57I can't continue
19:59with this.
19:59Is that what I think?
20:00You're all for
20:00freedom of speech
20:01unless that speech
20:02is, God forbid,
20:03the slightest bit
20:04conservative.
20:05What?
20:06Your whole ideology
20:07is tired,
20:08so why don't you
20:08pull your bra
20:09out of the fire
20:09and step into
20:10the 90s, Murph?
20:11All right.
20:12Let's sit.
20:13Help me!
20:13Help me!
20:13Help me!
20:14Help me!
20:14Help me!
20:15Help me!
20:15Help me!
20:16Help me!
20:16Help me!
20:16Help me!
20:17Help me!
20:18Help me!
20:18Help me!
20:19Help me!
20:19Help me!
20:20Help me!
20:20Help me!
20:25Hey, McGovern!
20:28So,
20:28your first
20:29presidential press
20:30conference.
20:31What was it like?
20:32Uh, you know,
20:33you ask a question,
20:33you ask another
20:34question,
20:35you throw a couple
20:35punches,
20:36four fights,
20:36secret service men
20:37grab you,
20:37you bite one of
20:38them,
20:38they shove you
20:39in a holding cell.
20:42That's that ironic
20:43thing again,
20:44right?
20:49That was very
20:50mature.
20:51I don't know
20:51what you're talking
20:51about.
20:52Oh, I suppose
20:52my shoe hurled
20:53itself down the
20:54trash chute?
20:55Hey, that wasn't me,
20:56that was Stephanopoulos,
20:57and I don't know
20:58why, you only
20:58threw a chair at
20:59him.
21:00It wasn't your
21:00little shrike.
21:01I don't care what
21:02you say you did
21:02or didn't do,
21:03all I know is,
21:04it took me two
21:04years to claw my
21:06way back in the
21:06White House,
21:07and if you think
21:08you're not going
21:08to pay for getting
21:09me kicked out...
21:10What?
21:10Kicked out?
21:11What's this about
21:12kicked out?
21:12That's right,
21:13Miles, I got
21:13kicked out.
21:14We both did,
21:14and you want to
21:15know why?
21:16I'm not sure,
21:16do I?
21:17Because that's a
21:18right-wing rock-n-roll
21:20twit, couldn't
21:20keep her mouth shut.
21:22No, big deal.
21:26Two years, tops.
21:30Listen, we were
21:31talking, and, uh,
21:33we realized we've
21:34been a bit
21:34unsupportive to you,
21:36so we just wanted
21:36to say we're sorry.
21:38Yes, we've acted
21:39unprofessionally,
21:40and we hope you
21:41can forgive us
21:41and move past it.
21:42Yeah, and if
21:43there's anything
21:43we can do to
21:44make things easier
21:45for you around
21:45here, you just
21:46holler, okay?
21:47I don't know how
21:48and I don't know
21:49when, but I am
21:50going to see you
21:50fly!
21:53Hello, FYI!
21:55Mr. Lansing!
21:58What are you
21:58doing here?
21:59Not that you
22:00shouldn't be here,
22:01you have every
22:01right to be here,
22:02we love having you
22:03here, but what
22:03did you hear?
22:04I'm very
22:05disappointed,
22:06Silverberg.
22:06It's not my
22:07fault, sir.
22:08Murphy and
22:09McGovern started
22:09a fight,
22:10apparently chairs
22:11were thrown.
22:11I walk in here
22:13and you don't
22:13compliment me
22:14on my remarkable
22:16surgery.
22:17Oh!
22:18Oh!
22:18Your eyes!
22:19But, but, but,
22:20but, but,
22:21I mean,
22:22your heart!
22:23It looks...
22:24years younger.
22:27Thank you,
22:28Silverberg.
22:29I'm just happy
22:31to be alive.
22:34Stan, I just
22:35want you to know
22:36my first day
22:37here really bit,
22:38but I'm not
22:38going to give up.
22:39I'm going to
22:39stay and do
22:40the best damn
22:40job this place
22:42has ever seen.
22:44That's the spirit!
22:46Nice kid.
22:47Is she the one
22:47that waters
22:48the plants?
22:51Stan, that's McGovern,
22:52and I have to tell
22:53you that I think
22:54she's completely
22:55wrong for the show.
22:56McGovern?
22:56Who the hell
22:57is McGovern?
22:58FYI's newest anchor.
22:59Remember your
22:59directive, the one
23:00you issued while
23:01you were in the
23:01hospital?
23:01Ah, the directive
23:02I issued when
23:03I was in the
23:04hospital.
23:05That's right, sir.
23:06For a moment
23:07there I thought,
23:08you know...
23:09The directive
23:11I issued while
23:12I was drugged
23:13up on Demerol.
23:14How could you
23:15have listened
23:15to me,
23:16Silverberg?
23:16How would you
23:17let me do that?
23:18And get this,
23:19Stan, she's a
23:20former MTV VJ.
23:21What?
23:23Are you saying
23:24that I added
23:25that freaky
23:26one-name rock chick
23:28to my precious
23:29little FYI?
23:30That has got to be
23:31without a doubt
23:32the most not bad.
23:34Nah!
23:36That's a good idea
23:37I had.
23:38Stan, you don't
23:39understand.
23:39She's got no background.
23:41She doesn't have
23:41any spirit.
23:42Buff, buff, buff.
23:43It's a done deal.
23:44You'll learn to love her.
23:45She can be that
23:46little sister
23:46that you never had.
23:47Now, if you'll
23:50excuse me,
23:52I have to go
23:53rest.
23:53Doc disorders.
23:55One thing
23:56bothers me,
23:57Silverberg.
23:57If I did this
23:58FYI,
23:59what did I do
24:00to my other shows?
24:04The commissioner
24:05indicating the strike
24:06may not only affect
24:07the 95 season,
24:09but the 96 season
24:10as well.
24:11And now,
24:12with a special
24:12commentary,
24:13here's new
24:14CBS Sports
24:15correspondent,
24:16Sparky.
24:17Sparky.
24:17I'll see you next time.
