(Female voice)
Hey, Minneapolis-St. Paul,
it's eight past the hour

at twin-107,
your f.M. Talk station.

Time to get your buzz on
with the number-one-rated
buzz wescott show.

(Male voice)
Su Kim, I need
some cheering-up here.

This is the worst show
we've done

since we had those midgets
that couldn't reach
the microphones.

(Female)
Well, maybe this is a good time
for "mock the mayor."

Doris from St. Paul,
dump on the mayor.

Yes, hello, I think it's
shameful the way you constantly

make fun of
the elected officials.

So what are you saying, Doris?
Are you saying I'm UN-American?

Well, yes. Being able
to elect our leaders

is a freedom we should
never take for granted.

Damn straight, honey,
that's one that I never do.

And, you know, another freedom
that I never take for granted

is the freedom
to say what I think.

And you know
what I think, Doris?

(Southern accent)
I think your parents
must have been cousins!

'Cause that's about
the stupidest thing I've
ever heard on this show.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm going to have to apologize
for that last call.

You see,
um, our screeners,

the people who answer
the telephones for US,

they're interns, which means
that they're inexperienced,

and the bottom line
is they work for free.

And you know what they say--
"you get what you pay for."

So sadly,
I have to report to you

it is time to say
goodbye to Heather.

I hope she lands on her feet
at her next job at burger hut.

Is he really gonna fire me?
He just did.

Dennis on line five.
Talk to me, menace.
Bye-bye.

Hey, this is Dennis
from minnetonka.

That's your problem, Dennis.
Don't make it mine.

My questions is, who does
the mayor think he's kidding

with that
little blonde assistant?

She looks more like
a stripper than a secretary.

Hey, I'm with you, pal.
But even a gump like Newton

deserves a little eye candy,
doesn't he?

I mean,
have you seen his wife?

We're talking quasimodo
on a bad hair day, guy.

(Chuckling)
You find that funny?

No. No, ma'am.
Well, it's the word "gump"...

No, not even a little.

I wonder if buzz wescott
realizes the power that he has.

Well, they say "sticks and
stones will break your bones."

But the truth is,
words can kill.

(Buzz) It's like
freak city out there.

But the cool thing is
they aren't ashamed of it.

You do that every week, buzz.
Every week, man.

Do you ever listen to this show?
I love this guy.

And if you think it blows
having a pro wrestler
for governor,

you've got a city councilman
who was dealing cocaine
out of his office.

Good choice,
although I wouldn't mind...

Su Kim,
siamese twins?

You're killing me
with these circus acts.

I thought they
might be interesting.

No, let me tell you
what would be interesting.

"Siamese twin strippers."
Now that would be interesting.

We're back on
in three minutes.

Do me a favor.
Help me out with the screener.

Buzz, this is Monica.

Station manager
sent her down for a tryout.

Hello, Mr. Wescott.
Hey, red, got any experience?

Not specifically,
but I've worked in
communications

for a very long time.
That's great, nineteen.

Look, if you
can't keep the idiots
from getting through,

then you're going
to be communicating

with the copy machine
over at kinko's, okay? Got it?

I like the shoes.

Why did he call me nineteen?

He's fired
18 call screeners
in the last 5 years.

I hope you have thick skin.
I'll work on it.

When you think
you've got a decent caller,

keep them on hold and type
the vitals into the computer.

The white button is for the
intercom to be used off the air.

The red button lets you
speak with buzz on the air.

Nineteen?

Hey, if a kid calls
named Meredith or Taylor,
don't let him hang up.

Keep him on hold until
I can get to my next break.

You got it?
I understand.

Well, that's an improvement
already, isn't it?

Strap in, buzz.
Live in five.

Yeah. Yeah.

(Male voice)
Three...Two...One...

We got some hot talk
for you out there, buzzheads.

But first, I think we should
meet our new screener, Monica.

Hey, Monica,
tell me a little bit
about yourself.

Are you married? Single?
I'm single.

Ooh. Good answer.
I mean, 'cause you got that

whole sexy Irish brogue
thing happening...

Hey, you know what,
su Kim?

I think we should try to talk
the lovely Monica into playing

"welcome the new employee game."

Tell her
the rules, buzz.

It's a wee little game where
you work your first day naked.

Hmm. Well, I won't be taking
me clothes off today, buzz.

Ah. Well, you see,
that could directly affect

your chances of being back here
tomorrow and playing again.

That's a risk
that I'm prepared to take.

(Buzzing sound) Not
the answer we wanted to hear.

Su Kim, let's give her
a consolation prize.

That's right,
it's a free trip to Guam.

(Dog barks)

(Su Kim)
Unbelievable, guys.

(Buzz talking)

Hey. Come on, man,
didn't you read the sign, kid?

I can't change nothing
bigger than a 20.

Doesn't matter.
Just keep it.

(Recording)
You have one new message.

(Female voice)
Hi, Scott, it's your mother.

You're probably out
having fun with your friends.

This is Scott.
Do you want to--

oh, your father says hi.

Well, we'll
try you back tomorrow.

We love you.

(Buzz) Sorry, pal,

no way you could be
a buzzhead.

Buzzheads use soap, and I can
smell you over the phone.

You want to stink up
the airwaves, call imus.

He loves talking
to dipsticks like you.

(Announcer) You're listening
to the buzz wescott show,
hard talk all day.

Gee, a whole 50 cents.
You're some tipper, pal.

Off duty.
I need a ride.

Are you deaf? Off duty.

I heard you just fine.
Now you hear me.

I need a ride!
Look, lady, forget about it.

It's been a long day.
I got to go home,

see the wife and kids.
Find another cab!

Why do they all
make it so hard?

(Police radio chatter)

This is my first time
being a police officer.

Yeah, that's usually how
it works when you're a rookie.

So, how many donuts
do you think you've had

in 23 years on the force,
sgt. Richardson?

Why?

Well, I mean,
the fat content alone would--

you're a cop, Gloria.
A donut is the least
of your worries.

Hang on, Meredith,
he'll be right with you.

Okay, everybody,
we're going to take
a little break.

Up next is Roger the redneck
calling in from his truck.

Apparently
he doesn't agree with me

that all religious wackos
should be shot.

(Gunshot, woman screams,
glass breaks)

(Man) Now let's go
back out to the freeways

with captain Candace
and the twin-107
traffic copter.

Hi, Meredith.
How are you doing, sweetie?

Ha ha, yeah.
Hey, how was the recital?

Great. Great, honey,
that's so great.

Yeah, is Taylor
driving you crazy?

(Chuckling)
Yeah, I bet he is.

Oh, gosh,
I miss you guys.

(Woman) I-85 eastbound
looking good.

We have some slowing
coming out of rapid city now...

His daughter sounds like
a lovely young lady.

Yeah, they used to be
a great family.
Used to be?

Let's just say that buzz
is not the man he used to be.

He made a lot of trade-offs
to get where he is.

Now he's divorced
and his ex took the kids to L.A.

That's a lot to trade away.

Hey, sweetie, look, my lawyer's
been working with this new judge

who seems to think
that he can, you know,

get it so that we can spend
some more time with each other.

You know? I mean,
for real this time. So, uh...

(Buzzer)

30 seconds.
I know! Hang on a second.

Um, listen, I got to go.

What? Yeah, I got one
around here somewhere.

Oh, here.
Right in front of me.
Why, what's up?

Sweetie, that's a great idea.
You should come over here

and be one of the producers
on my show.

I can see it right now.
Uh-huh. Yeah, okay.

I love you.

And tell Taylor
I love him, too. Okay?

Yeah. Bye-bye.

(Commercial)
...Award-winning service,

and state-of-the-art
repair facilities.

The porterville auto center,

the number-one auto center
in all of the twin cities.

(Su Kim) Now back to buzz
on the buzz wescott
radio network.

Welcome back.
Before we get to the phones,

I was just talking
to my incredible kid

and she turned me on
to this really weird story
in the paper today.

It seems some 40-year-old
proofreader in New York

sat dead in his office
for five days before

fellow workers noticed him.
(Su Kim) Ooh, that's terrible.

(Buzz) Now this lame-o
had a heart attack.

But he was such a nobody

that nobody even
noticed him for five days.

None of his coworkers,
nothing. He was dead.

Now there's a ten
on my loser meter, babe.

Oh, come on, buzz.
You're being so mean.

Can you imagine
being such a zero

that nobody notices
your cold, dead corpse

slumped over on your desk?

What did they think,

that the guy was
the first one to work

and the last one to go home
for five straight days?

♪♪

(Street noises)

Oh, my god!
Does anybody have a cell phone?

Stop! Stop! Stop!
(Horn honks)

Look. Somebody's up there.
Do you have a cell phone?

Dial 9-1-1.

(Man) 9-1-1.
What is your emergency?

Yes. There's somebody
on top of a building.
I think he's gonna jump.

Scott.
Oh, god. Who are you?

Don't be afraid.

My name is Andrew.
I'm an angel.

Are you here to stop me?

No. I can't do that.
This is your life, Scott,

but I would love to try
to talk you out of doing this

because I don't think
that you really want to.

This is just a cry for help.

I'm here to tell you
that god's listening.

Well, I don't have
anything to say.

I think you do.

What the hell is this?!

Come on!
(Honking horn)

(Su Kim) Can you
believe that, buzz?

All right, then, beating
people with a stick--
yea or nay?

I would have
to give that a "nay."

If they brought
caning to america,

crime would drop
in three days.

I say beat them like
an ugly redheaded stepchild.

And I'll tell you what.
I bet you the siamese twins
in hennepin county

would vote for it, too.

Would that count
as one vote or two?

Speaking of the siamese twins,
where the hell are they?

They should be here by now.
They're stuck in traffic.

They're stuck together.
They're stuck in traffic.

What I want to know is
who the hell is driving?
Righty or lefty?

Nobody can get across town

because there's some kid on
a building threatening to jump.

Oh, there's a new one.
No one can get across town
because there's a...

'Cause there's a kid on
a building threatening to jump.

Uh, hey, buzzheads,
anybody stuck out there,

give US a call and let US know
what's going on, would you?

I don't think
this is a very good idea.

Well,
you're not buzz wescott.

(Siren sounding)

(Woman)
Oh, no, look!

You know the kid's name?

Scott hardwick.
Apartment 1401.

He's a nice kid.
I don't get it.

How do you think this is going
to make your parents feel?

I don't know.

We don't really talk that much.

They're busy with
their own stuff, so...

So you mean you never even told
them that your best friend died?

How do you know that?

♪♪
I believe you dropped this.

How long were
you and John friends?

Since the second grade.

That's my arm in this picture.
They cut me out.

A bunch of US went to
the U2 concert last summer.

Scott hardwick?

Who is it? Who's there?

My name is sgt. Richardson.

Go away, okay?
Leave me alone or I'll jump.

Okay, Scott, just relax.
Nothing's going to happen.

No one's
going to do anything.

...and are you sure
it's the same Scott hardwick
that you go to school with?

Yeah.
Jackpot.

What are you doing?
My job.

Line 3, talk to me.

This Scott hardwick dude's
in my chemistry class.

(Dispatcher)
Crisis intervention team
en route. E.T.A. In ten.

10-4.

How do we stall this kid
another ten minutes?

Maybe we could find some rope
and tie you in.

No. It's an unnecessary risk.
And it's against procedure.

(Cell phone rings)

This is sgt. Richardson
of the Minneapolis p.D.

Who is this, please?
Yes, sir.

Yes, but we have
a situation here.

Please stay on the line.
Who is it?

I think we got
a shot at something here.

Patch me through
to the crisis team.

Oh, for crying out loud.

(Horns honking)

(Busy signal)

Come on, kid, you're completely
screwing things up over here!

Scott,
it's sgt. Richardson.

I'm gonna slide this phone to
you here along the ledge, okay?

It's your father.

Dad?

Scott,
it's actually not your dad.

I sort of had to lie
to get to you.

It's buzz wescott.

Buzz wescott?

Scott, I know this
is a strange time right now,

but look, Scott,
I think we need to talk.

Should I talk to him?

I don't think that buzz wescott
has the answer that you need.

Well, who does?
I mean, you? God?

Yes, god.

Right. Well,
tell that to John.

Hello?

Scott, I got your number from
a high school buddy of yours

and he tells me that
you're a big fan of the show,

which means we have
something in common.

We both think I'm great.

I'm just one of those
nobodies on your loser meters.

Don't say that, all right?
You're a buzzhead.

And buzzheads, by definition,
are not losers, my friend, okay?

Now listen.

What do you say you go
on the air with me, huh?

You want to put me
on the radio?

Just forget that
we're on the radio, all right?

We're just two guys talking.
Mano a mano.

Let's face it, Scott.
People don't walk out on ledges

because they want
to check out the view.

You know what I mean?

You got problems, man.
We should talk about them.

Anyway, you're a teenager.
What are you doing, man?

You should be out there
chasing chicks and drinking

and partying and causing
trouble, for crying out loud.

You know? I mean,
what do you say, Scott?

Okay.
I-- yeah, okay.

Scott, stay on the line,
all right?

Don't go anywhere,
if you know what I mean. Okay?

No pun intended, kid.
Look. Just hang on.

I'm going to put you on hold
for one second.

Oh, I love this kid.
I love him.

Buzz, please don't do this.
Why not?

Because somewhere there has to
be a line that you won't cross.

He's frightened and confused
and he doesn't deserve to be

exploited in front of
thousands of people.

Did you say thousands of people?
How many stations do we have?

500 and counting.
Over 4 million listeners.

Cha-cha-ching.

You may not realize it, but you
made a real connection with him.

You have the power to make
a difference in his life.

Trust me. I'm going to make
a huge difference in his life.

And while we're at it,
mine, too, okay?

Now let's shoo-shoo-shoo.
Hurry on. Let's work. Go.

Boy, I can't believe
I put that piece of slime

on the phone with this kid.

Well, clearly
he likes buzz wescott.

Maybe it'll buy US
the time we need.

Stay by the window.
I got to call this in.

(Su Kim)
Hey, Minneapolis-St. Paul,
it's eight past the hour

at twin-107,
your f.M. Talk station.

(Buzz) Hello, america.

We're gonna deviate
from our usual program because,

quite frankly,
there's stunning events

taking place in downtown
Minneapolis as we speak.

There's a young man
threatening to jump

off the 14th floor
of a building.

His name is Scott hardwick.

And we have him live,
on the air right now.

Scott, buddy,
are you there?

Yeah.

What's going on,
buddy?

I mean, what made you want
to walk out there on that ledge?

Uh, last week
my best friend, John,

swallowed
a bottle full of

sleeping pills
and killed himself.

Wow, bro,
I'm sorry.

I mean, we went to the movies
the night before

and he seemed totally fine.

Yeah. So...

What movie did you see?

Uh, Austin powers.
Funny flick.

Yeah. That's the thing.

How could you go from one minute
to laughing your head off

and then go home
and kill yourself?

(Buzz) Look, Scott,
I'm no expert.

Maybe he was having
problems with a girlfriend.

You know, maybe there
was a bad situation at home

with his parents.

Maybe he doesn't like
Mike Myers films.

He didn't even tell me
anything was wrong,

and the worst part is,
is that he didn't even

say goodbye,
he didn't leave a note.

He just left.

Hello?
Oh, yeah, hi, Barry.

Yeah,
can you hold on a sec?
Great. Thanks.

(Scott) It doesn't
make any sense.

People just don't kill
themselves for no reason.

I mean, if John's life
wasn't worth living,

then whose is?
What's the point of anything?

Scott,
I'm not gonna pretend

to know why your buddy
did what he did, okay?

But it sounds to me
like he was taking life
a little too seriously.

You know?

I mean...

For me, life is about
having fun, you know?

And blowing off all the stuff
that bums you out.

Yeah, but sometimes
you just can't. I mean...

You know,
Scott, you're right.

Sometimes you can't
and sometimes you can.

Look, can you stay with me
during a commercial break?

I got to pay the rent,
too, guy.

Uh, yeah, I guess. Yeah.

Beautiful.
We'll be back in about
two minutes.

(Male voice)
You're listening
to the buzz wescott show...

Barry, Barry,
I'm having a great day, baby.

Tell me you are
gonna make it better.

I've got some bad news.

What?

The judge said no.

What do you mean he said no?

What the hell did he say?

What did you
expect the judge to say?

You spend every afternoon

talking to hookers
and strippers.

What does that have
to do with anything, man?
That's part of my act.

I'm the one
with the career here.

What does he think, she's gonna
be a better parent than me?

It's over. You're
not getting your kids.

I'm sorry, man. We tried.

Be sure to send me
the bill, Barry.

Jerk!

Oh, man, no way. No way.

(Commercials playing)

Okay. Okay.

(Buzzer)

(Su Kim)
Ten seconds, buzz.

(Male voice)
You're listening
to the buzz wescott show,

hard talk all day,
on the twin-107.

Scott, it's buzz.
We're back.

You know, I've been
thinking about what you said,

and I'm thinking
that maybe you're right.

Scotty, you know, the world
really does stink.

I don't know what to tell you
about your friend, man.

Maybe he did the wrong thing
swallowing all those pills.

Maybe he did
the right thing.

Maybe you're doing
the right thing, too.

I don't know
anything anymore.

And frankly, I don't care.

Nobody does.

Not about me
and not about you, Scotty.

So do what
you gotta do. Okay?
Make your move.

There is one thing
I do know, though, Scott.

And that is that, uh...

You're tying up traffic, Scotty.
And that ain't cool.

Vaya con dios.

Buzz? Hello?

(Horn honks)

(Commercial)
Would you like
a no-maintenance...

Ah, come on, come on, kid,
get it over with already.

Jump!

Jump, you idiot! Jump!

That's right, jump!

(Pandemonium)

Jump!

(Crowd chanting "jump")

Hello?
Scott...

Shut up, okay? I don't want
to talk to you anymore.

I don't want to talk to anyone!

(Chanting continues)

Buzz, you have never
walked out on a show, ever.

You cannot leave
500 stations hanging now.

Watch me!
And what about that kid?

Are you gonna
leave him hanging, too?

I've got my own problems
right now, okay? Deal with it!

(Commercial playing)

Great.

It's a real mess down there.

I knew that radio jerk
was gonna screw US.

He did buy US some time.
Not enough.

Fire's at least another five
minutes away with that air bag.

The crisis team
is trying to get here on foot.

Why don't we just grab a sheet
and tie it up by the win--

no! It's too risky.

Sergeant, isn't there a time
when a risk is acceptable?

Yeah. When it means
I don't have to jeopardize

23 years on the job
on some crazy kid.

(Chanting "jump")

Scott? Scott,
don't listen to them.

Why not?

Because what they're saying
doesn't matter.

There's a book, Scott,
the book of life.

And god has written
your name in that book.

He has a plan for you.

He chose the moment
of your birth,

he's chosen the moment
of your death.

And if you take that
out of his hands,

then you're gonna miss the life
that he wanted to give you.

Why didn't someone
tell that to John?

I did.

You're not John,
Scott.

You're still alive
and you still have a choice.

Scott? Scott, I can't imagine
how badly you must've felt

to come out on this ledge,
but if I were you,

there's one thing
I'd think about doing.

What?
Leave a note, son.

I heard you say
how badly you felt

when your friend died
without an explanation.

What are your parents gonna
think if you do the same thing?

Here.

(Chanting continues)

Jump, you idiot! Jump!

♪♪
shame on you, Tony.

Where did you come from?
How-- you that lady.

I'm no lady.
I'm an angel.

Holy...
Stop it right there.

You wouldn't listen
to me before, but you're going
to listen to me now.

What kind of a man
would urge another human being

to kill himself just so he
wouldn't miss a roll in the hay?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about,
you weren't rushing home

to see your wife
and your children.

You were trying to squeeze in
some time for your girlfriend.

And don't tell me you weren't.
Now we gonna talk about this

and about how to get
your marriage back on track.

But first, you're gonna
get out of this cab

and shush those people
urging that boy to kill himself.

Why would
they listen to me?

Because they listened
to you before and they'll
listen to you again.

Robert Anthony,
god loves you.

He's got you here
to get you out of this jam.

And I'm not just
talking about traffic.

Okay.

Hey!

You all need to knock it off!
You let that kid alone!

You yelling "jump."
That's not right.

You must miss them very much.

I don't know
how you got in here,

but leave the same way.

And I think that you miss
the man you were a long time ago

and wish
you could be again.

A man who loved his family
and counted it an honor

to be on the radio
speaking over thin air

to a world brimming
with possibilities.

Back before ray David wescott
became buzz,

and buzz became
number one in the ratings.

Who are you?
I am an angel.

Excuse me?

I am an angel whom god has sent
here with a message for you.

And the message is this.
God loves you very much,

but he doesn't love
what you have become.

Look, I know I got in
over my head today with the kid

on the building and everything,

but it's just radio shtick,
everybody knows that.

It's just an act.
They all know that.

Do they really?

Every day you push the envelope
closer to the edge,

and the competition
pushes it further.

And soon the world
is a mean and angry place

and people begin to believe
that there is no more hope,

no more compassion,
no more love.

And then they
tune into your show

and hear you
tell a young boy

that there is no answer
for his pain.

And suddenly they're yelling
at him to jump from a building.

What?

At this very moment,
hundreds of your fans

are yelling at Scott hardwick
and urging him to jump.

Oh, my god.

God, please forgive me.

God does forgive you,
buzz,

because he loves you more
than you could ever imagine.

But he requires
something of you, too--

that you turn around

and offer that love
to someone else.

And right now there's someone
who needs it very badly.

Okay.

(Cell phone rings)

Leave me alone.

(Ring)

Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

He's not answering.

(Commercial playing)

Put me back on the air.
Come on.

Yes! We can still
pull this off.

Just get me
on the air now, okay?

Lord, he's gonna jump.

Scott? Scott, it's buzz.
We're back on the air.

Please don't jump,
buddy.

Sergeant, turn that radio on
and put it out the window.

No, Gloria,
I don't trust that guy.

Sergeant, I wouldn't
normally pull rank on you,

but I'm going to
because I'm an angel.

Scott, wait.
I can't believe I'm saying this,

but give buzz wescott
one more chance.

I don't know if
you're listening out there,

but I pray to god
that you are.

I need to ask you
to forgive me.

Forgive me for being
so caught up in my own stuff

that I didn't treat you
with compassion and kindness.

See...

You're not alone
out on that ledge.

I've been living
on a ledge of my own...

For a long time.

I'm not the man
people think that I am.

I go home to
an empty apartment every night

because my wife left me

and she took away my kids.

I mean,
she had good reason to.

I was a self-absorbed husband

and a lousy father.

I was more worried
about my ratings

than I was my own family.

Scott,
I know you're scared

and you're hurting right now,

but please don't jump.

I don't know
if you believe in angels...

But I do.

I'll make you a deal
under one condition--

I'll tell you about a real
special angel that I know,

but only with both our feet
on the ground.

Come down from there now.

Please come down now.

Okay.

Okay.

Um, I'm ready
to go inside now,

but I'm too afraid to move.

It's okay.
It's okay. Just hold on.

You followed procedure
for 23 years and 6 days.

This is where the rubber
meets the road, sergeant.

Give me your hand.

Give me your hand.

I got you.
Slow, slow, slow.

Okay.

Okay,
just come with me.

Okay, let's go down.

Easy, easy. I got you.

(Telephone ringing)

Oh, thank god.

You're okay.

Wait. I have to say
goodbye to someone.

Thank you.

And, no offense,

but I hope I don't see you
for a long time.

A long, long time.

Yeah, okay.

(Cooing)
