dinner would be over.

No, it wouldn't.

Dinner's never gonna be over.

It's gonna last forever.

I will be here waiting for you when you

get back, and I will have aspirin.

Fine. I'll be back by 11:00--

10:
50, possibly 10:30.

Go.

Fine.

Did you forget something?

You look incredible.

Knock 'em dead.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Nice seats.

I got here early and scouted

out the best ones.

We were actually more towards the middle,

but then two people--

I'm pretty sure it was Brigitte Nielsen

and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar--

sat right in front of me.

Brigitte and Kareem showed up, huh?

I swear,

any place with free cheese and crackers,

they are there.

- You look nice.

- Thanks.

I think this haircut cost more than all the

haircuts I've had in my life combined.

Hmm. Well, it was worth it. It looks very,

Mom, dad.

The woman of the hour.

- You made it.

- Of course we did.

Careful! The hair-- it's pinned perfectly.

Whoa.

Yeah. Sorry. So, are you excited?

but thank you.

Well, we brought foam fingers.

And we're doing the wave if things get dull.

Dud?

and I shall be moderating today's panel.

We're joined today by the editors of some

Whoo-hoo!

We have before us editors

from the Harvard Crimson,

the Daily Princetonian,

the Cornell Daily Sun,

the Daily Pennsylvanian,

and the Yale Daily News

all here today to tell us

what's on their minds,

to hear where they think ivy-league

journalism is heading,

and more broadly, to share their views on

the future of the free press in America.

Whoa. Heavy.

So, I will begin by posing a series

of questions to our panel.

Now let's begin.

I was wondering how the panelists would

describe the state of journalistic ethics

on a collegiate level in the

post-Judy Miller era, and--

Wonderful question. Quentin Walsh,

Daily Princetonian.

The ramifications of the scandal to which

you obliquely alluded ought

I hate this guy already.
