Mr. Brackett. . . .
:05:09
Max.
:05:11
Can I put a microphone on you?
:05:13
We'll get the curator to tell us why the
museum is facing drastic budget cuts.
:05:19
And then we'll find
a couple of locals to tell us. . .
:05:22
. . .that without a museum,
the city's a dog kennel .
:05:24
Then, as a brilliant career move,
you' re taking me to lunch.
:05:31
-You have to answer.
-You' re done.
:05:33
Is that the answer?
:05:35
You did it wrong .
:05:36
It's much better on the lapel .
:05:39
Can you help me?
We' re looking for the curator.
:05:42
I know you. TV, right?
:05:44
-Right.
-You' re the TV guy.
:05:47
You' re the museum guy.
:05:48
No, I' m the guard .
:05:50
-The museum has financial problems?
-Tell me about it.
:05:53
There were 2 of us.
The other guy got laid off.
:05:55
-Is that right?
-You never know who'll be next.
:05:58
Stick around . Maybe we'll get you
to say that on camera.
:06:01
Really?
:06:03
Mrs. Banks' through there.
:06:05
Right. We don't pay much.
:06:07
More than I make here.
:06:11
They' re not the Mohawks, Mr. Brackett.
The Miwoks are from northern California.
:06:15
They have a very rich past.
:06:17
We currently have on exhibition
the largest display of lndian baskets. . .
:06:22
. . .ever assembled
by a museum of this size.
:06:24
Some would say it's not responsible. . .
:06:26
. . .to pour money
into a dying institution.
:06:29
Then let's close down the libraries,
museums and symphonies.
:06:32
If we do not learn from our past,
we will be. . .
:06:36
. . . doomed to relive it.
:06:38
Yes, Mort.
:06:39
I see dinosaurs.
:06:40
The fear of today is that the museum
might share the same fate.
:06:45
That's right, Mort.
:06:47
That is exactly the fear.
:06:48
Very good . Thanks.
:06:50
It's okay, Mort.
:06:52
We' re clear.
:06:54
Good .
You must've done this before.
:06:56
Good heavens, no. I haven't.
:06:59
I feel strongly about this museum .
My great-grandfather founded it.
