I could do the desk and the weather...

...same salary.

- If I could restate my point...

- I got it. Salary to one side, Sally.

- I did some weather in Reno.

I wanted to hire regular weather,

an Arnie Poole type.

San Francisco's got Arnie Poole.

We've got Rob.

- All I ask to let Rob try this.

- The weather in Reno. Let's see.

They must get some

genuine weather there, huh?

- Oh, big time.

- You prove me wrong, I'm easy.

Dan...

meet our new weather person.

Really? Really?

This is Dan Duarte, our station

manager and my boss.

I go through life with a smile,

try to spread a little goodness.

You know, some people in this

business get jaded because...

it's always the same awful stories.

And it is the same stories.

But they're happening to

different people.

Our new weather gal seems

to be under the weather.

Thirty seconds, Rob.

Focus on spreading that goodness, Rob.

What is this? Okay, come on.

Let's get up.

- Now, what is it?

- Oh, I can't do it.

Now, you've done this before.

If you're Sally,

I want you in makeup now, please.

Not now. Wait outside.

- Say, "Sally Atwater." Say it.

- Thally.

Thally.

- Say it.

- Thally Atw...

- No, I can't do it!

- Then don't do.

You don't have to do it.

- Yes, I do.

- What?

- Yes, I do.

- Okay. I'll get you through it.

I'm your floor manager. You're gonna

be on camera two the entire time.

Okay, everybody, happy weather! In

fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve...

Okay, everybody...

Keep on your toes.

Let's do this one for Uncle Dan.

Rob, check the prompter.

And now with the weather, here's Sa...

Tally Atwater. Tally?

It's your new name. It's easy to say.

don't look at me, look at the camera.

You got twenty-nine

seconds to commercial.

Talk straight into the red light. You

will find you've got a new best friend.

Tally?

Come on, baby.

Thanks, Rob.

How long was that? Okay, we need to

lake thirty seconds off the close.

What an idea.

We will want these, because it's

heat, heat and more heat.

Oh, another good idea, Dan.

We're looking at an expected high

of ninety-eight.

- Sunglasses don't look silly on Seven.

- Will she come out next with a banana?

When the sun goes down, look for a

balmy low of eighty-six.

- Pick it up.

- More high pressure moving in means...

Pace yourself.

don't look at me.

Look at the camera.

And so the five-day

forecast is more...

...more, more hot, hot, hot. Thtay...

Stay inside, cuddle up and

enjoy the air conditioning. Rob.

You made your point, Warren.

This is a non-starter.

She eats the lens.

This is Rob Sullivan saying,

for Adela Syms and myself...

and all of us here at Channel Nine

News good night. Be of good cheer.
