:12:01
I'd like to come on,
make some brief farewell statement...
:12:04
and then turn the show over
to Jack Snowden.
:12:07
I have 11 years at this network.
I have some standing in the industry.
:12:11
I just don't want to go out
like a clown.
:12:14
It'll be simple, dignified.
You and Harry can check the copy.
:12:18
I think it'll take the strain
off the show.
:12:22
- What do you think?
- Well, okay.
:12:26
And no booze today, Howard!
:12:29
No booze.
:12:36
George, can you come into my office
for a minute?
:12:45
Barbara, is Tommy around?
I'd like to see the two of you.
:12:57
This is Bill Herron from our West Coast
Special Programs Department.
:13:00
George Bosch. Barbara Schlesinger.
Tommy Pellegrino.
:13:03
I just saw footage of a special Bill's
doing on the revolutionary underground.
:13:07
Most of it's tedious stuff of
Laureen Hobbs and two fatigue jackets...
:13:10
muttering mutilated Marxism...
:13:12
but he's got eight minutes
of a bank robbery...
:13:16
that is sensational!
:13:18
Authentic stuff shot
while the robbery was going on.
:13:22
Remember the Mary Ann Gifford
kidnapping?
:13:25
It's that bunch of nuts. She's in
the movie shooting off machine guns.
:13:28
This is really terrific footage.
:13:31
We can get a movie of the week
out of it, maybe even a series.
:13:36
A series?
What are we talking about?
:13:38
We've got a bunch of hobgoblin radicals,
the Ecumenical Liberation Army...
:13:42
who go around taking home movies
of themselves robbing banks.
:13:45
Maybe they'll take movies of themselves
kidnapping heiresses...
:13:48
hijacking 747 s...
:13:50
bombing bridges,
assassinating ambassadors.
:13:54
We'd open each week's segment
with their authentic footage...
:13:57
hire writers to write a story behind
that footage, and we've got a series.
