Won't want this.

Will need these.

Not to worry, Dan. Uncle Rob was

there to step in if it got any worse.

- Good job, Sally.

- I was betting she'd pee on air.

- I've never seen anything like it.

- We'll do it again tomorrow, okay?

You don't have to put up

with him, Lu.

Luanne, I hear it. I hear it.

No, it is not the guy from

the sweepstakes.

Nobody but you believes in the guy from

sweepstakes. It's like the tooth fairy.

Wait, don't hang up!

I wanna talk to you.

- You're feeling sorry for yourself?

- What are you doing here?

N.B.C.'s million dollar baby

and how she got there.

No Miami Herald, no Washington Post,

no Wall Street Journal?

You getting a cheap rush from this?

You know the demo tape I sent you?

I faked it.

I didn't do any of those things. I

went to East Reno Community College.

I wasn't valedictorian. I didn't

graduate. I rented a cap and gown.

I did the camera myself.

I even threw the confetti myself.

No crucial California Youth Forum

Elections? Big time weather?

Once when I was working at...

Cal-Neva, there, it got snowed in.

And a Reno station asked for

some report...

phone reports, and I did one.

It was forty seconds long.

- I know all that. I checked it out.

- So, fire me.

If you're hungry enough to fake it,

you might be hungry enough to do it.

- The weather is not gonna work.

- You don't think I know that?

You come across on camera.

I'm giving you a shot as reporter.

That's what I came by to tell you.

You thought I came by to

f*** you, didn't you?

Lu! I think I just got promoted.

Actually, this is a set-aside.

Harvey's Belle Glade piece tells

me a story. Yours doesn't.

Miami's beautiful people

got an eyeful today...

- What's the story?

- The story is...

The fashion industry comes

to South Beach.

It came. It went.

We did that story. It's gone.

Now let's lay in B roll and see

if we can't salvage this thing.

Some of the finest cigar makers

exiled from Cuba...

are making profitable businesses

here in Little Havana.

As I quickly learned,

it's not as easy as it looks.

What's the story here? Is it the Cuban?

Or are you getting cute with the cigar?

This is Tally Atwater, Channel

Nine News, in Little Havana.

The Cuban, of course.

Then you should've found out that this

particular exiled cigar maker...

is not from Havana,

but a Batista officer.

- Just do it better.

- Right.

Harvey's truck is down.

On his way to...

How long would it take us

to get to Miami Beach?

I thought we're doing

this bullshit boat show.

- This' a much better story. How long?

- Half an hour.

Vic... Yeah, Tally.

Listen, Ned and I are moments

from this Harvey story.

- Harvey's truck is down.
