:05:05
Trite, rhetorical,
:05:08
clich?d, inane.
:05:11
Viewers don't pay
much attention to that, Damien.
:05:14
No, you're right. And there won't be
much attention to that bullshit either.
:05:19
I said I wanted action, not words.
I wanna see Thorn at work.
:05:22
A thousand starving kids
clamouring for a bellyful of Thorn soya.
:05:27
Thorn medical teams,
construction, engineering.
:05:30
Instead of which, you spend half the
commercial giving us a third-grade version
:05:34
of the history of the Ice Age.
:05:39
Do we have footage of
the Australian drought relief?
:05:42
Sure, but nothing new, and most
of it's been seen on TV already.
:05:48
We'll find you something. In the
meantime, go with the old commercial.
:05:52
I don't want that one used.
:05:56
-What have we got coming up?
-Botswana next week, then the Aswan Dam.
:06:00
-Can we get a film unit to Botswana?
-Sure, but no relief
unit till after the coup.
:06:04
-No one's sure how long that's gonna take.
-All right. It'll have to be the Aswan Dam.
:06:09
Have a film unit there when
it goes. Make sure they
give our relief units coverage.
:06:15
Don't let the Red Cross beat them to it.
:06:18
Why don't you go?
Now that would be a real coup.
:06:20
Damien Thorn
supervising relief work in person!
:06:24
No, I've got to stay here.
:06:27
-What for?
-To be on hand when
the president calls me.
:06:32
He's gonna offer me the post
of ambassador to Great Britain.
:06:37
-I beg your pardon?
-Are you familiar with
the Book of Hebron?
:06:41
No, I don't know anything
about the Book of Hebron.
:06:45
It's in the Apocrypha - one
of the more obscure backwaters
of the Septuagint Bible.
:06:53
"And it shall come to pass
that in the end days
:06:57
the beast shall reign one hundred score
and thirty days and nights."
