---

to spend the next five years

doing weather and fashion

in Sioux Falls, South Dakota,

you will now shut up and do as you're told.

Oh, yes?

Yes, Arthur?

We'll see about that.

Excuse me.

Socks, come on, lighten up.

Oh, what do you want?

Well, I just want to tell you I like your style.

You had old Holcombe there

swallowing his corporate stripes.

You mean you're sorry you fired me?

That was 'cause you weren't

a very good reporter.

Listen, I was a kid out of college

who happened to think

that newspapers ought to be more

than dirt and bad news.

That sounds like a line from an old movie.

You know, you'd think that

even so dumb a brain as yours

would finally get the message.

I happen to have 55 million viewers

worldwide.

You've got a couple thousand old crones

in the public library.

Why don't you wise up, mister?

Nobody reads.

Well, then you've got nothing to worry about.

Now, come on, let's have a truce.

I don't trust you.

Well, you like me a little, don't you?

Anyway, we've got a week

to spend together alone,

so what the hell?

I don't like being called Socks.

Well, I can't help that.

The first time that I was with you,

you had those outrageous red socks on.

Took me a week to get over that.

Yeah, and then you fired me.

Well, now listen, that was business.

Now, come on, what do you say?

Truce, huh?

I'll think about it.

General Karnovski regrets,

but he does not give interviews now.

He's on vacation.

Well, listen the right interview

in an important American paper

could be good for the General.

Maybe get him a promotion.

The General does not need a promotion.

You've got a point.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

You mean to tell me that

you've never heared of me?

I mean, really.

I mean, come on, you look at me.

You're putting me on

with those beautiful green eyes.

Honey, I won, the Big Bundle!

The TV contest!

You must've heard of that!

A montage of international types.

I think that would be a good idea.

Well, well, how do you do?

- Terrible.

- Why?

I tried the Iranian oil ministers, nothing.

Karnovski said nyet.

That leaves Takaguchi.

My last shot over there.

What is it that you're after, anyway?

I don't know, this Delos guset list

looks like a rerun from the last

Geneva Conference.

Oil ministers, rocket experts,

heavyweight electronic types.

For God sakes, at $1,200 a day,

who else could afford this?

You know, you are looking

for something that isn't there.

You may be right.

Hey, Miss Ballard.

Miss Ballard, now, listen now,

you have got to put me on your show.

No fooling now, I am a real angle.

Oh, excuse me, pal.

Oh, that's all right. Listen,

why don't you take that seat there?
