Good morning,
Jennifer. Morning, herb.
19
00:01:12,473 --> 00:01:13,616
Any calls? No.
20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,717
Messages? Nope.
21
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:16,274

00:01:16,343 --> 00:01:18,321
Okay, how about
Lunch? No lunch either.
23
00:01:18,345 --> 00:01:20,012
Dinner? Busy.
24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,192
- how about later
At my place?
- you're married, herb.
25
00:01:22,216 --> 00:01:24,115
oh, yeah.
26
00:01:24,184 --> 00:01:26,229
What's it gonna take
With you, jennifer?
27
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:28,754
I mean, you're talking to
The sales manager here.
28
00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:31,456
I mean, what do you
Want, watches, jewelry,
29
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:34,259
A side of beef, fully dressed?
30
00:01:34,327 --> 00:01:37,763
I can fix anything. You wanna
Meet bert convy in person?
31
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:41,032
I mean, they don't call me
Mr. Kickback for nothing. Hi.
32
00:01:41,101 --> 00:01:43,701
Howdy. I'm andy travis, the,
Uh, new program director.
33
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:46,438
But kickbacks are wrong.
34
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:49,073
Herb tarlek. Sorry, got a
Meeting. We'll talk later,
35
00:01:49,142 --> 00:01:51,142
If you last that long.
36
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:52,922
- nice fellow.
- one of the best.
37
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:55,947
- would you like
To see the big guy?
- the big guy?
38
00:01:56,016 --> 00:01:58,194
The skipper, the
Chief, the head honcho,
39
00:01:58,218 --> 00:02:00,919
The jerk who runs this place.
40
00:02:00,988 --> 00:02:03,755
Well, yes. Yes, I would.
41
00:02:03,824 --> 00:02:07,325
Mr. Carlson, mr. Travis
Is here to see you.
42
00:02:07,394 --> 00:02:09,728
Travis. I don't know.
43
00:02:09,796 --> 00:02:11,963
He claims to be the
New program director.
44
00:02:12,032 --> 00:02:14,065
I'm from santa fe, new mexico.
45
00:02:14,134 --> 00:02:17,769
You know, I never really met the big
Guy before. He hired me on the phone.
46
00:02:17,838 --> 00:02:20,918
Well, then you have
Nothing to worry about.
47
00:02:22,609 --> 00:02:24,543
Yes, he's still here.
48
00:02:26,446 --> 00:02:28,458
Good morning, jennifer. Hi, les.
49
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:31,849
Uh, les, this is andy travis,
Our new program director.
50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,529
Well, howdy. So you're travis?
51
00:02:33,553 --> 00:02:37,989
- yeah, that's right.
- oh, les is in charge
Of news, weather, sports.
52
00:02:38,058 --> 00:02:41,159
The last program director lasted 30
Minutes before the big guy fired him.
53
00:02:41,228 --> 00:02:43,662
Traffic and... What else, les?
54
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:45,730
Award-winning farm reports.
55
00:02:45,799 --> 00:02:47,732
So watch your step, mister.
56
00:02:49,936 --> 00:02:54,038
So, les is a great guy too. Of course, he's
No herb, but he's still one of the best.
57
00:02:54,107 --> 00:02:56,040
He's all right.
58
00:02:56,110 --> 00:02:58,510
At least he's not always
Pawing and mauling you,
59
00:02:58,579 --> 00:03:00,512
Constantly on the make,
60
00:03:00,581 --> 00:03:02,947
Dying for some steamy,
One-night stand...
61
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:04,983
Of unbridled passion...
62
00:03:05,051 --> 00:03:07,619
At some out-of-the-way
Hotel room.
63
00:03:07,687 --> 00:03:09,621
You know what I mean?
64
00:03:09,689 --> 00:03:11,689
I sure do.
65
00:03:11,758 --> 00:03:14,604
- you're not
Like that, are you?
- who, me? Oh, no. Heck, no.
66
00:03:14,628 --> 00:03:18,529
How come? I don't know.
67
00:03:18,598 --> 00:03:21,199
- travis?
- uh, yes, sir.
68
00:03:21,268 --> 00:03:23,079
I'm carlson. Well,
It's nice to finally...
69
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:25,237
Get in here. See you in person.
70
00:03:25,305 --> 00:03:27,705
He's a great guy too,
Right? One of the best.
71
00:03:30,844 --> 00:03:34,212
So, you fish? Uh,
No, sir. No. No, I don't.
72
00:03:34,281 --> 00:03:36,214
No?
73
00:03:38,152 --> 00:03:40,551
- I fish.
- uh, mr. Carlson,
74
00:03:40,621 --> 00:03:44,100
You know, it strikes me that you
Don't really remember hiring me.
75
00:03:44,124 --> 00:03:47,003
Of course I do. You know,
I quit my job in santa fe.
76
00:03:47,027 --> 00:03:50,161
You did? Yeah. I took an
Apartment here in cincinnati too.
77
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:53,098
Ooh, do you think that's wise?
78
00:03:53,167 --> 00:03:54,953
Mr. Carlson, we talked
On the phone. You
79
00:03:54,977 --> 00:03:56,969
Promised me a free
Hand to run this station.
80
00:03:57,037 --> 00:04:00,972
I should never use the phone... Cut that
Thing in half, just use it for listening.
81
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,985
I think I made a big
Mistake coming here.
82
00:04:03,009 --> 00:04:06,611
- where ya goin', cowboy?
- I don't really know,
But I know where you're goin'.
83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,614
- yeah?
- yes, sir.
84
00:04:08,682 --> 00:04:10,894
You're goin' back to playin'
Music on this station...
85
00:04:10,918 --> 00:04:14,119
That was way out-of-date 20
Years ago and losin' 100 grand a year.
86
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:16,666
Where'd you get a
Figure like that? From you.
87
00:04:16,690 --> 00:04:19,491
Oh, yeah. Right. Uh...
88
00:04:19,559 --> 00:04:21,538
Sit down for a
Second. All right.
89
00:04:21,562 --> 00:04:24,729
I suppose you've worked at stations
That make really big money, huh?
90
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:26,943
Oh, yes, sir. Yes, I
Have. A lot of 'em.
91
00:04:26,967 --> 00:04:28,945
We used to make money
Around here, you know.
92
00:04:28,969 --> 00:04:31,803
Of course, that was back in
The days when music was music...
93
00:04:31,871 --> 00:04:34,472
And men were men
And fish were fish.
94
00:04:34,541 --> 00:04:36,775
Now I don't know
What the hell's goin' on.
95
00:04:36,843 --> 00:04:39,855
Come on, mr. Carlson. I think
I can see right through you.
96
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,358
- you can?
- sure. You know what's
Goin' on around here.
97
00:04:42,382 --> 00:04:45,783
I do? Oh, of course I do. How
Do you see it though, travis?
98
00:04:45,852 --> 00:04:50,222
Well, I see before me a
Very shrewd manager. True.
99
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:53,203
A man smart enough to hire the
Right people. That's very astute.
100
00:04:53,227 --> 00:04:56,394
And then you just step aside,
And you let them run the operation.
101
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:59,731
Son of a gun. You
Read me like a book.
102
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,911
I can be tough. I can be mean.
103
00:05:01,935 --> 00:05:04,380
And I can make those hard
Decisions. The first decision...
104
00:05:04,404 --> 00:05:07,383
We're gonna have to make around
Here is what we're gonna do about mama.
105
00:05:07,407 --> 00:05:09,619
Mama? Yeah, my mother.
She owns this station.
106
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:12,255
I gotta answer to her for
Everything that goes on around here.
107
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,879
We do? I thought you
Said you're in charge here?
108
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:17,883
I am in charge here, and
Don't you forget it, buster!
109
00:05:17,951 --> 00:05:20,318
But sometimes, mama
Scares me a little bit.
110
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:24,589
Uh, yeah. Uh, mr. Carlson,
Let me ask you another thing.
111
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,337
Does your mother want
This station to make money?
112
00:05:28,361 --> 00:05:30,294
Boy, does she!
113
00:05:30,364 --> 00:05:33,042
She gets this look in her eye
When she talks about money.
114
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:35,600
Starts making this... Noise
Down deep in her throat.
115
00:05:35,669 --> 00:05:39,171
oh, well, good. Because I think she's
Gonna like what we do around here.
116
00:05:39,239 --> 00:05:42,674
- huh?
- yeah. Because I know I can
Turn this station around.
117
00:05:42,742 --> 00:05:45,076
- turn it around?
- make money.
118
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:49,046
Oh. Well, in that case, andrew, you've
Got a free hand from here on out,
119
00:05:49,116 --> 00:05:51,260
For the time being. That's
Good. Where's my office?
120
00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:54,152
Out that door, down the hall to
Your left. Think you're gonna like it.
121
00:05:54,221 --> 00:05:56,054
- one more thing.
- yes, sir?
122
00:05:56,123 --> 00:05:59,957
These changes... They, uh... They
Wouldn't necessitate the, uh,
123
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:02,038
Playing of rock-and-roll
Music, would they?
124
00:06:02,062 --> 00:06:04,362
Possibly.
125
00:06:04,430 --> 00:06:06,831
Dear god. She's
Gonna kill us all.
126
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:19,644
- you're travis?
- yeah, that's right.
127
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:22,213
I'm johnny caravella.
128
00:06:22,282 --> 00:06:25,450
I'm also know as johnny
Midnight, johnny cool,
129
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:28,687
Johnny duke, johnny
Style and johnny sunshine.
130
00:06:29,857 --> 00:06:31,990
You can call me "Johnny," okay?
131
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:34,192
Well, it's nice to
Meet you, johnny.
132
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:37,929
- you mind
If I sit down?
- no, please.
133
00:06:37,998 --> 00:06:41,799
I'm the morning man. I,
Uh, just got off the air.
134
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:46,504
Got insomnia, you know.
Can't go to sleep before 3:00.
135
00:06:46,573 --> 00:06:51,742
I gotta get up about 5:00, get
In here, be on the air by 6:00.
136
00:06:51,811 --> 00:06:54,880
This coffee keeps
Me sharp as a tack.
137
00:06:54,948 --> 00:06:58,216
You mind if I lie down?
138
00:06:58,284 --> 00:07:00,285
Go right ahead.
139
00:07:00,354 --> 00:07:02,487
Sunshine. Haven't
I heard of you?
140
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:05,023
You're not a cop, are ya?
141
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,594
Johnny sunshine.
142
00:07:09,663 --> 00:07:12,830
Johnny sunshine!
I remember. Yeah.
143
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:14,877
It was los angeles
In the late '60s.
144
00:07:14,901 --> 00:07:18,470
"Johnny sunshine, boss jock." you
Were, uh... You were very hot, man.
145
00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:20,883
Yeah. somethin'
Happened there though.
146
00:07:20,907 --> 00:07:22,940
Station fired you
For some reason.
147
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:24,976
Well, I'll tell you
Something, baby...
148
00:07:26,546 --> 00:07:29,247
They all fire you
Sooner or later.
149
00:07:29,316 --> 00:07:32,061
Yeah, I know. But this was
Somethin' that you, uh...
150
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:35,019
Somethin' you did. Yeah,
Well, we all do things, right?
151
00:07:35,088 --> 00:07:38,656
Uh-huh. It was
Somethin' that you said.
152
00:07:38,725 --> 00:07:41,826
Yeah. "Booger."
153
00:07:41,895 --> 00:07:46,464
What? I used the word
"Booger" on the air.
154
00:07:46,532 --> 00:07:49,067
That's right. Yeah.
155
00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:52,603
I was makin' about 100
Grand a year out there.
156
00:07:52,672 --> 00:07:55,606
Then one day I said "Booger,"
157
00:07:55,675 --> 00:07:57,942
Bunch of bozos
Called the station,
158
00:07:58,011 --> 00:08:01,746
Next thing I know, I'm in
Amarillo hosting a garden show.
159
00:08:03,016 --> 00:08:05,661
Mind if I get some
Coffee? no, help yourself.
160
00:08:05,685 --> 00:08:09,654
- where'd you go from there?
- denver, boise, fargo.
161
00:08:09,723 --> 00:08:12,256
It's all a blur to me.
162
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:15,259
I'll tell you this though, I
Never thought I'd end up...
163
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:17,896
At wkrp in pitts...
164
00:08:18,932 --> 00:08:21,532
- cincinnati?
- yeah, cincinnati.
165
00:08:21,601 --> 00:08:24,035
This is rock-bottom.
166
00:08:24,103 --> 00:08:25,681
Mr. Travis? Yeah, that's right.
167
00:08:25,705 --> 00:08:28,640
I'm les nessman, winner of five
Regional broadcasting awards.
168
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:32,544
uh, yeah. I know. We,
Uh... We met in the lobby.
169
00:08:32,612 --> 00:08:34,546
That's right. I wanted to chat,
170
00:08:34,614 --> 00:08:37,515
But I had to get on the
Air with the hog futures.
171
00:08:37,584 --> 00:08:39,584
Hogs have futures, I don't.
172
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,688
The pleasure is all
Mine. well, thank you.
173
00:08:43,757 --> 00:08:46,402
You know, I sensed this
Morning, somehow that I, uh...
174
00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:48,404
I rubbed you the wrong way.
175
00:08:48,428 --> 00:08:51,996
Me? Oh, no, I just had the hogs.
176
00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:53,999
Travis? That's right.
177
00:08:54,067 --> 00:08:57,569

Promotion. Welcome to wkrp in cincinnati.

Good day, and may the
Good news be yours.
182
00:09:11,518 --> 00:09:13,451

On the other hand, herb would
Like an all-talk-show format.

I, personally, was
Hoping for... All-hawaiian.

What happens when I can
No longer feed myself?

However, experts
Are predicting...
225
00:12:04,291 --> 00:12:07,525
That sunny skies will
Return by noon. No.
226
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:09,961

I just wanted to announce to you all
That starting just a few minutes ago,
291
00:16:05,063 --> 00:16:10,367
I changed the format of
Wkrp to top 40 rock and roll.

Uh-huh. Well, what about this
Station's traffic helicopter?

00:16:36,962 --> 00:16:39,741
- we don't have one.
- so why do we have
Helicopter reports?
301
00:16:39,765 --> 00:16:42,605
That's just me. I get
On the air, and I do this...
302
00:16:42,668 --> 00:16:46,028
The traffic today is light to
Heavy on all main thoroughfares.
303
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:48,471
Yeah, uh, good
For you, les. Good.

Well, for every
One client we lose,
308
00:17:00,052 --> 00:17:02,319
We gain three more and
Double your commissions.
309
00:17:02,387 --> 00:17:05,356
I don't actually know
Anyone down there.
310

Excuse me, andy...
311
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:14,898
I am swamped with phone calls out there
About whatever johnny is doing on the air.
312
00:17:14,967 --> 00:17:16,511

00:18:03,849 --> 00:18:07,050
- andy, that's my area.
- because herb is gonna be
Much too busy...
330
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,385
With sales meetings
And business lunches.
331
00:18:09,454 --> 00:18:10,821
Oh.
332
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:13,757
Bailey, you think
You can handle that?
333
00:18:13,826 --> 00:18:16,359
Yeah. Yeah, I think I can do it.
334
00:18:16,428 --> 00:18:18,862
- you can count on me, andy.
- I know I can.
335
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:21,565
okay, well, listen,
That's just about it.
336
00:18:21,633 --> 00:18:23,611
We'll continue meetin'
Like this and makin' plans,
337
00:18:23,635 --> 00:18:26,281
But I tell you, I think
We're off to a smooth start.
338
00:18:26,305 --> 00:18:28,872
Andy, I like it. I've
Seen 'em come and go,
339
00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:31,407
But you're the best.
I'm with you 100%, andy.
340
00:18:31,476 --> 00:18:33,455
Thank you. Thank you.
Herb, les, follow me.
341
00:18:33,479 --> 00:18:35,846
- travis, you're fired.
- good move, big guy.
342
00:18:37,215 --> 00:18:39,649
I knew you wouldn't last.
343
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:43,932
Mama just called. She's on
Her way down here. Now, look...
344
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:45,917
This is the plan. We'll
Tell her johnny went
345
00:18:45,941 --> 00:18:47,925
Crazy, mind snapped
While he was on the air.
346
00:18:47,993 --> 00:18:50,360
She'll buy that. That
Happened once to us here.
347
00:18:50,429 --> 00:18:53,207
Sportscaster went nuts right
In the middle of a swimming meet.
348
00:18:53,231 --> 00:18:55,266
Started barking like a dog.
349
00:18:55,334 --> 00:18:57,967
can't you take a hint? You're
Gone, fired. Get outta here.
350
00:18:58,036 --> 00:19:00,415
Listen, what happened? What
Happened? I'll tell you what happened.
351
00:19:00,439 --> 00:19:02,417
Mama heard johnny on the
Air. That's what happened.
352
00:19:02,441 --> 00:19:04,485
I think we should
Just try to calm down.
353
00:19:04,509 --> 00:19:06,343
Calm down, you
Jughead? Mama's comin'!
354
00:19:06,412 --> 00:19:09,290
- you're right. This is
No time for calmness.
- I'm certainly not calm.
355
00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:11,460
Of course you're not,
You lily-livered, gutless...
356
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,461
I oughta take you
Apart brick by brick.
357
00:19:13,485 --> 00:19:15,519
I oughta chop you off at
The ankles, that's what...
358
00:19:15,588 --> 00:19:17,655
Mother!
359
00:19:17,723 --> 00:19:20,723
Sweetheart, come in. You
Know herb and les, don't ya?
360
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,259
Hello, mother carlson. Mama.
361
00:19:22,328 --> 00:19:24,306
Gee, mom, you look
Like a million bucks.
362
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:27,564
Keep away from me!
What's going on here?
363
00:19:27,632 --> 00:19:30,344
Well, you know, mom, the
Darnedest thing just happened.
364
00:19:30,368 --> 00:19:33,370
Now, how it happened, I'm not
Just too sure, but... Who are you?
365
00:19:33,439 --> 00:19:35,773
Him? He's nobod... Who is
This? Get him out of here.
366
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:38,208
We can't have people
Wandering in off the streets.
367
00:19:38,277 --> 00:19:41,111
Mrs. Carlson, I'm andy travis,
The new program director.
368
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:43,045
You're the old
Program director! Herb
369
00:19:43,069 --> 00:19:45,315
Tarlek over here's the
New program director.
370
00:19:45,384 --> 00:19:47,796
Mom, herb is just like
A son to me. Stop that!
371
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:51,140
What about me? You can be
Program director after herb's gone.
372
00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:54,191
Mr. Travis,
373
00:19:54,259 --> 00:19:57,027
Are you responsible for
The strange sounds I heard...
374
00:19:57,096 --> 00:19:59,229
Emanating from my
Radio this morning?
375
00:19:59,298 --> 00:20:01,131
- I am.
- explain yourself.
376
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,211
I like the sounds you
Heard this morning.
377
00:20:03,235 --> 00:20:05,875
Young man, this radio
Station is a business.
378
00:20:05,905 --> 00:20:08,383
It is not here for your
Personal listening pleasure.
379
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:10,340
Well, if-if I may, ma'am.
380
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:12,709
I know it's a business.
See, that why this station...
381
00:20:12,778 --> 00:20:14,756
Has no choice but
To change its format.
382
00:20:14,780 --> 00:20:17,480
There are already lots of
Rock-and-roll stations in cincinnati.
383
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:19,527
Why do you think that is, les?
384
00:20:19,551 --> 00:20:22,285
Well, I personally think
It's a plot of some sort.
385
00:20:23,789 --> 00:20:26,735
No, mrs. Carlson, rock and
Roll is where the money is.
386
00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:28,792
How much money?
387
00:20:28,861 --> 00:20:31,405
I think we can break even the
First year. The second year...
388
00:20:31,429 --> 00:20:34,697
- second year? I'm talking about now.
- well, these things take time.
389
00:20:34,766 --> 00:20:38,768
We break even the first year, the second
Year, we clear maybe 800,000 after taxes...
390
00:20:38,837 --> 00:20:40,904
Too little and too
Late. Too little?
391
00:20:40,972 --> 00:20:44,508
Mama, that 800,000 is
Profits, not losses.
392
00:20:44,576 --> 00:20:47,711
I can sell this station for five
Times that amount right now.
393
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:51,380
I want a faster
Turnaround. ma'am...
394
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:53,817
Well, I hate to say it, but I...
395
00:20:53,886 --> 00:20:56,486
I personally cannot
Work that way.
396
00:20:56,555 --> 00:20:58,789
- I guess I am fired.
- no, wait a minute.
397
00:20:58,857 --> 00:21:01,991
Mama, look. You've been on my
Back for years to turn a profit here.
398
00:21:02,060 --> 00:21:05,061
Now, when I'm finally getting
Started, y-you wanna dump the station.
399
00:21:05,130 --> 00:21:07,497
Let me tell you
Something. If he goes, I go.
400
00:21:07,566 --> 00:21:09,833
What? That's what I said.
401
00:21:09,902 --> 00:21:12,280
Arthur, you've never
Spoken to me that way before.
402
00:21:12,304 --> 00:21:14,304
Yeah, well... Do you like it?
403
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:18,219
I hate it. But it's
The first time...
404
00:21:18,243 --> 00:21:20,322
I've seen any sign
Of backbone in you.
405
00:21:20,346 --> 00:21:21,945
Yeah, well, while I'm at it,
406
00:21:22,014 --> 00:21:24,347
I've got a few other
Things... Don't push it, arthur.
407
00:21:24,416 --> 00:21:26,549
Yes, mama.
408
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:29,452
Young man, we'll try
It your way for a while.
409
00:21:29,521 --> 00:21:31,688
- you've got a deal.
- thank you, ma'am.
410
00:21:33,992 --> 00:21:36,326
Andy, my man! What's goin' down?
411
00:21:36,394 --> 00:21:38,461
Venus, how you doin'?
412
00:21:38,530 --> 00:21:41,998
- what is that?
- oh, may I introduce
Mr. Venus flytrap.
413
00:21:42,068 --> 00:21:44,801
- hey, little mama.
- I beg your pardon.
414
00:21:44,869 --> 00:21:46,870
Venus is the best nighttime
Deejay in this country.
415
00:21:46,939 --> 00:21:49,840
I took the liberty of hiring him
Away from a station in new orleans.
416
00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:53,276
- did you have
A big audience there?
- the biggest.
417
00:21:53,345 --> 00:21:55,979
Welcome to
Cincinnati, mr. Flytrap.
418
00:21:56,048 --> 00:21:57,981
Arthur... Yes, mother?
419
00:21:58,050 --> 00:22:01,685
If this doesn't work, I'll
Tear you down brick by brick.
420
00:22:01,753 --> 00:22:03,498
I'll... we get the
Picture, mama.
421
00:22:03,522 --> 00:22:06,082
Nice to have met you two.
422
00:22:11,663 --> 00:22:14,263
That's a mean little mama.
423
00:22:14,332 --> 00:22:16,667
You bet.
424
00:22:16,735 --> 00:22:18,914
Herb, les, why don't you show
Venus around the station?
425
00:22:18,938 --> 00:22:20,916
Do it. you know, mr. Flytrap,
426
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:23,185
I have some ideas about
That nighttime show. Yeah?
427
00:22:23,209 --> 00:22:25,442
I do the sports news
Here, mr. Flytrap.
428
00:22:25,511 --> 00:22:28,790
I don't know if you've noticed, but there
Certainly are a lot of negroes in sports.
429
00:22:28,814 --> 00:22:34,084
Yeah, well... Say what?
430
00:22:36,822 --> 00:22:38,822
Mr. Carlson. Yeah?
431
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:42,137
