:21:01
had been consulted and satisfied.
:21:05
Instead, you sulked off
like a child...
:21:07
and engaged this network
in a shocking and disgraceful episode.
:21:10
Your position
is no longer tenable...
:21:12
regardless of how management
is restructured.
:21:16
I will expect your resignation
at 10:00 tomorrow morning.
:21:19
We will coordinate our statements
to the least detriment of everyone.
:21:24
Bob McDonough will take over the News
Division until we sort all this out.
:21:29
I'd like to see Mr. Beale now.
:21:32
They're looking for him.
They don't know where he is.
:21:36
Well, every day, five days a week
for 15 years...
:21:40
I've been sitting behind that desk,
the dispassionate pundit...
:21:43
reporting with seemly detachment...
:21:46
the daily parade of lunacies
that constitute the news.
:21:50
Just once...
:21:51
I wanted to say
what I really felt.
:21:53
Knock it off.
:21:55
It was, after all, my last one.
:22:13
- Have the overnight ratings come in?
- They're on your desk.
:22:16
Have you got
yesterday's overnights?
:22:17
- Shall I bring them in?
- Yeah.
:22:25
These are the outlines submitted
by Universal for an hour series.
:22:28
You needn't bother to read them.
I'll tell them to you.
:22:31
The first one is set in an eastern
law school, presumably Harvard.
:22:36
The series is irresistibly entitled
"The New Lawyers."
:22:39
The running characters are: A crusty
but benign ex-Supreme Court justice...
:22:42
presumably Oliver Wendell Holmes
by way of Dr. Zorba...
:22:45
a beautiful girl graduate student,
and the local district attorney...
:22:49
who is brilliant
and sometimes cuts corners.
:22:51
Next one.
:22:53
The second one's called
"The Amazon Squad."
:22:54
Lady cops.
:22:56
Running characters include a crusty
but benign police lieutenant...
:22:59
who's always getting heat
from the commissioner...
