I mean, what time do you normally go home?

This is my home. I live here.

Hold these.

No, no, no... like this.

What are you doing?

Oh, I just want to see if my interociter can withstand

a sudden charge of sixty-thousand volts.

Wha-?

Yeah, it works.

I don't know about this, George.

I mean don't know the first thing about what goes on at a TV station.

Don't worry. Bob. It's just like working in a fish market,

except you don't have to clean' and gut fish all day.

Yah, So, can I help you?

Hi, I'm George Newman. I'm the new station manager.

You know, when I first took this job

they told me that this position was only temporary,

and that eventually, when the time was right I'd move up to news,

which is really my forte. You know how long I've been working here?

Two years! It's kind

of hard to get promoted when every other week you have a new boss.

This job really sucks.

And this is my friend Bob.

Hi. Nice to meet you

Howdy, friends, it's Crazy Ernie from "Crazy Ernie's Used Car Emporium!"

It's a giant supermarket of cars!

I got so many cars, people come up to me and say,

"Hey, Crazy Ernie! Where'd you get all those cars?!"

Lookee here.

I got red cars, I got green cars, I got enough cars to choke a camel! Tell you what, friends.

If nobody comes down and buys a car from me in the next hour, I'm gonna club this baby seal.

That's right, I'll club this seal to make a better deal.

And you know I'd do it, too... cause I'm crazy!

ehn, look at all the old reruns this station is airing.

We could sure use some more live shows.

I don't know, something like um..

Oh no

You ok in there Pam?

Yes. If it's not one thing, it's another.

You know that mailman's really got a screw loose.

He delivers us this package that's suppose to go to R.J. Fletcher.

Who?

R.J Fletcher. He runs channel 8.

You know, the net work affiliate downtown.

Oh well, I'll just have to

send it back to him tomorrow.

No, that's okay, I'll

take it over myself.

It'll be a good chance to meet the competition.

You know George, I'll tell you I don't really think

that's such a good idea

I heard he's not the nicest guy in the world.

Oh, come on, he can't be all that bad.

You just gotta know how to talk to those guys.

You idiot! Can't you do anything I tell you to do?!

Does this look like a Number Two pencil?

No, I... I just thought-

You thought?! I don't pay you to think!

But, Dad

Shut up!! Let's get back to the meeting.

Alright, who's got the research report?

I left the report on your desk, sir.

I don't see it. When did you put it here?

Yesterday, before I left, sir.

The janitor. It must have been the janitor.

He probably threw it out when he was cleaning up in here.
