Morning Glory

- Hi. Hi, hi.

- Hey.

- You must be...

- Bill.

- Yeah.

- Hi.

Hi. Becky. Hi.

Thanks for having dinner so early.

I know it's... it's a pain.

No, that's, that's...

Interesting crowd.

Yeah. My job is the problem.

I'm... I work at

Good Morning, New Jersey and...

- Right, on channel nine. Right?

- Right. Yeah.

So, yeah, we're on really early, so I...

I go to bed really early and

we used to be on at, 5am,

but then we got bought by this

giant company and they wanted

to run us instead of infomercials.

'Cause we generate

slightly more revenue and...

Now we're on at four.

Sorry, I'm gonna turn this off.

It's so...

Sorry. That's like, oh, my God,

that's so annoying

when people do this.

It's like, "check, please."

I'm not gonna touch this...

ever again. Sorry.

No, that's, it's... it's OK.

It's OK.

I...

I'm... I'm really glad that

you picked this place. I...

You know, it kind of reminds me

of Matthews in Waldwick.

They have the most amazing, like,

delicious, thick, big, juicy...

Lots of Belgian waffles

and syrup in the...

And...

Anyway... boring!

What do you do?

- Anna told me you're in...

- Marketing.

- Right.

- For an insurance company,

and I dabble in ceramics, but...

Take it.

Sorry, it's... I... This is my boss.

- Go ahead. Take it.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- OK, great, thanks.

Just be a sec. Promise.

Hi! Yeah, yeah.

I left three messages

for his attorney. I don't know.

If he doesn't call me back, I'm gonna...

I'll wait outside his office.

- Good morning, Becky.

- 'Night, Jim.

Good morning, New Jersey,

it's 2am.

We cover the Garden State

from corner to corner.

...the perfect alternative...

New Jersey Transit is reporting

a 20-minute delay...

...come out in support

of your local eateries.

Powerball Lottery jackpot...

Right in the base...

Yes, but I did it in

a really adorable way.

Rent a mini-rig. Cheaper and we can

get closer to the action.

I was thinking we'd get someone

in the winner's circle.

A pinata?

You can do the pinata?

- I can do it.

- Yeah? OK.

- Four... three...

- Thank you, thank you.

Ready to dissolve to jib.

Jib, ready to make your move.

Ten seconds to air,

everybody.

Ready to roll track

and fade up under one.

...three, two... one.

Roll track and fade up under one.

Good morning, New Jersey.

A quick look at traffic now.

Holland Tunnel is backed up

'cause of an overturned big rig

in the right and center lanes.

Officials say this should be cleared up

in about an hour.

So then, expect delays

from Ridgefield Park.

- But until then, you should...

- Is that snoring?

Jesus. Not again. Can you

go to the single of Ralph?

- Harry, Harry.

- The Deko!

- Wrong lower third!

- The Deko!

...the hidden dangers

that could be in your home.

All that and a look at sports

at the top of the hour.

Stick with us here

at Good Morning, New Jersey.

Oh, my God.

- Nice shot. You're a stud.

- No problemo.

Rain will fall

when you go to the mall

Later will clear,

the sun will appear

Overnight low is 50

Move your rear

Hey, ho, whoo

- Hey.

- Hi.

Hey, I talked to Raymond in HR.

He said the company's reorganizing

all the stations and they've budgeted

us for a new senior producer.

They pulled your employment records.

You're getting it, Becky.

You're finally getting the job.

Hey, kiddo, can you come by my office

after the show?

- Oh, me.

- No, not me, you.

Yes.

The puppy, a Chinese crested is worth

over $600 and answers to the...

Make your move, jib,

make your move...

And in Newark today,

police arrested 12 members of...

What? What's going on?

What is that?

We thought you might need this.

That better not be a box of condoms

again and I didn't even use the old one.

No, you're gonna use this.

Oh, my God.

- Congratulations.

- Congrats.

That's so sweet.

Becky, we have to let you go.

I'm really sorry about this, kiddo.

Corporate wants us

to reduce our overhead.

We're having to make big cuts and they

want me to hire a senior producer

with more business experience to

manage the contraction of the show.

But wait a second. You told them

you can't do that, right?

Because I... I've been here so long

and I've worked so hard.

His name is Chip.

He's... Chip starts Monday.

He has an M.B.A. And

a journalism degree from Columbia.

They're grooming him to run

the whole station in a few years.

In the meantime, I can't afford

to keep you both.

- Becky, look, I'm really...

- Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Shitty...

Becky, I... I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

- I fought them as hard as I could.

- There's lots of terrific

opportunities out there, you know?

I mean, look at Chip. He got one.

So maybe this is just the push

I need, you know?

So it can get me to the next level,

maybe even to a network or...

- Yeah.

- I mean, it's not like

it's my whole life.

It's only work, right?

Did you get any severance?

There were some budgetary cuts

last year,

so they weren't really offering.

But I have feelers out. Lots.

- Yeah, great.

- Honey, you think the Today show

is gonna call you up and hand you a job,

you have since you were eight,

- and it's not gonna happen.

- I don't, I know that, I do, I get it.

This is partly my fault. I...

I let your father get your hopes up.

He was not a happy person,

let's face it.

When he saw you aim high, he started

to feel better about himself,
