This Is Your Death Page #2

salesman by any chance, are you?

No.

I was number one in the

South Bay, 15 years over.

"House to fill?

Just call Bill at--."

You worked at Angel

City Appliance!

- You know it?

- I bought my fridge and stove there.

I was there for three decades.

Then online shopping came along,

and then the recession,

and now it seems that

nobody wants to hire

a 55-year-old

with insufferable charm.

I don't know why.

Uh, I should get back to work.

Do you watch television, Mason?

Me?

Oh, uh... no,

not much, honestly.

How about Married

to a Millionaire?

No, ma'am.

But my son did show me the

video on Morning USA.

Oh, so you know what happened?

- Yeah.

- So what do you think?

You can't fire me, can you?

Probably.

But I won't.

I think he was

speaking the truth.

You don't see too much

of that lately.

I agree.

Jerry.

Jerry, please.

Look. Look.

I know we talked about this,

but I'm four hours away

from being full-time.

I can do the hours

anywhere you want.

West end, downtown, Valley,

Orange County, I don't care.

You know how badly my family

needs the health benefits.

I'm sorry, but I've got

no more hours to give.

All right?

We're stretched thin.

We can't be stretched that thin.

All right.

G'night.

Sh*t.

How about this Adam Rogers?

What a story, I tell you--

Daddy!

'Morning, angel.

Did you get

a good night's sleep?

Did you eat your breakfast?

Did you brush your teeth?

Oooh...

Uh-uh, you fibber!

Hey, go brush your teeth. Daddy

will drive you to school.

Hey, watch yourself,

you little twerp.

Derrick called me a twerp!

Yeah, I heard him.

He'll apologize.

'Morning, slugger.

Who were those suits

at the door?

Derrick, grab your breakfast.

Your dad will drive you

to school.

What happened on your show

this week was disastrous.

But-- but,

from a legal standpoint,

surprisingly neither the network

nor the producers

could be held liable.

Yeah, I know.

But here's the thing.

When it comes to the murder,

the FCC allows live broadcasts

to air unforeseen

criminal content

as long as it wasn't planned,

there was security in place,

and every effort was made

to kill the feed.

All of which we can prove.

When it comes to the suicide,

that's where it gets

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- I must have the wrong-- - Sit, Sylvia.

Everyone, this is

Sylvia Rowland,

three-time Emmy-winning producer

of our live broadcast

of Snow White, Peter Pan

and The Wizard.
