Morning Glory Page #4

for a couple of weeks once,

but they put me back at number two.

Apparently, the crying was distracting.

You'll love it, though.

It's a great job.

- Our morning meetings are at five.

- Isn't that kind of late?

- Late?

- I mean, it's just that...

I'm, I'm used to early hours, so...

Well, maybe we should

try better doughnuts.

Excuse me. At the Today show,

the senior staff is usually...

Hi... in by 4:
30...

We're just like the Today show,

except, you know, without the money,

- viewers, respect. But very similar.

- OK.

OK? That's...

that's one of our good doorknobs.

Let me take care of this.

Colleen Peck has been here forever.

Don't mention that.

But McVee is paid more.

Don't mention that, either.

They hate each other.

Don't mention that.

But that's because Colleen hates

everybody. Don't mention that.

And she used to sleep with McVee,

who threw her over for her assistant.

- Do not mention that.

- Got it.

- After you talk to Colleen...

- Yeah, yeah?

Make sure you get me before you talk

to McVee, so I can go with ya.

- Why?

- I don't... Just trust me, OK?

- OK.

- OK.

- OK.

- Good.

- Can I just...

- Sure. OK, you ready?

- I'm ready.

- Good luck.

Do you know how many EP's I've had

in the past 11 years?

Fourteen.

If they're stupid, they get fired,

and if they're smart, they quit.

And now look what I get.

Well...

- It's a pleasure...

- You think it's fun being

in last place?

Do you think I enjoy working

for a network that spends more

on one episode of a dating show

about a bachelor dwarf

than our entire weekly budget?

- No...

- And I've never had a decent

- co-anchor ever!

- We're gonna change...

Just a revolving door of cretinous

morons. Our ratings are in the crapper.

I mean, how long can this show

limp along like this?

I know that everyone's been through

a lot, and I know that there's been

so many challenges along the way.

But, you know...

You will fail like everyone else

and then you'll be gone,

like everyone else.

But I will still be here, pulling

the train up the hill with my teeth.

You think it's fun

getting your ass kicked?

- No...

- Welcome to Daybreak.

Enjoy the pain, Gidget.

No! It's OK. I have it!

I've done this a zillion times and...

- I'm gonna fix that and...

- See ya later!

Good talking to you.

Paul! Hi! I'm... I'm Becky Fuller.

Your new EP. Thrilled to meet you.

I was just thinking maybe we could

go over a few ideas.

I was thinking maybe we could

get you on the street

and do some remotes.

Yeah, I don't like to leave the studio.

I like climate control.

But, if you want, we could

discuss this further privately.

What size are your feet?

- You wear about a six and half? Seven?
