- I'm going to learn it.

- Noted.

Meanwhile, you answer the phones,

work the data-base...

get the reporters what they need...

addresses, numbers.

Who, what, when, where.

And you see that Mister Coffee machine

over there? I like it strong.

Lleana, cancel my dinner.

We're gonna have to go late.

You used to cover the White House.

- You'll tell me you watched me?

- You asked George Bush how...

as former C.I.A. Director, he didn't

know Noriega was on the C.I.A. Payroll.

Bush said, "No questions at photo op."

And you put the whole thing on the air.

- It was in a course I took.

- You still get the coffee.

- I could probably get the coffee.

- Good.

Otherwise you'd just have the shortest

career in W.M.I.A. Channel Nine History.

News Heartbeat of the American

Riviera. Sugar, no cream.

You always wear that much makeup?

Turning to the weather front, looks

like scorchers stacked up over Florida.

Newsroom.

May I have your name, please?

And what is the name of the hospital?

Does this person have a name?

No, I am trying to help you.

No, ma'am. I do not remember

Miami before there were Haitians.

Thank you, ma'am.

Happy Halloween to you, too.

- You're getting' the hang of it.

I am, yes.

Actually, I've been getting the

hang of it since at least July.

- Here you go, Warren.

- Thanks. Good, Ned.

This is not a criticism,

it's more of an observation.

- You don't have a weather person.

- I fired her. I don't like it.

But having the anchor do the weather

reduces his credibility as anchor.

- Credibility? Rob?

- If you wanted someone to do it...

...you think you might be ready to...

...take in a little more...

...responsibility?

- Exactly. I'm already.

You know what you are ready for?

You can stop tomorrow morning on your

way in. My cleaning. Shun Lee.

You want a ride home?

Otherwise I've just had the shortest

career in the History of W.M.I. A...

- News Heartbeat of American Riviera.

- The ride home is optional.

I opt no, thank you.

- You want Rob to wear that?

- You know, weather is sponsored spot.

What if it's not raining, Dan?

Any other costume ideas on tap?

I was thinking maybe

big sunglasses if... Sh*t.

Warren, Three has happy weather.

Three? The night

the Gulf War started...

they led with a Bal Harbour Winter

Wonderland Shopathon.

And Three is the top-rated station in

this market. What could it cost to try?

- It would could cost you nothing.

- Give me a second.

- I said I wanted them boxed.

- They still don't come boxed.

- I was watching the news last night...

- Is that unusual?

...and I have an idea about something.

I was rethinking the weather spot.

Yeah, everybody is.
