:00:00
Lanie, come back to my offiice.
:00:03

- Yeah.
:00:05
Something's come up
at the network.
:00:06
They're looking
for somebody new
:00:07
onA.M. USA.
:00:08
They're looking for...
:00:10
a young, fresh face,
someone who appeals
:00:12
to that 1 8-35 demographic.
:00:14
They're asking
all the affiiliates
:00:16
to send in tapes.
:00:17
I'm going to send in yours.
:00:19
- Really?
- Mm-hmm.
:00:21
Woman: The phone's
been ringing, Dennis.
:00:23
Thanks, Mo.

:00:29
Areyou sure?
:00:31
Absolutely.
I never had a question.
:00:34
What about Andrea?
:00:35
She has been here longer.
:00:38
Lanie, some people
arejust local.
:00:41
That's all they're
ever going to be.
:00:42
You really have
a chance at this.
:00:43
Oh, my God.
:00:44
But don't getyour hopes up.
:00:46
OK.
:00:47
They're looking
at hundreds ofpeople.
:00:47
OK.
:00:48
The process could take months,
:00:49
but in the meantime
there is plenty
:00:50
thatyou could learn
around here.
:00:51
Absolutely.
:00:53
Like what?
:00:54
Like camera.
:00:56
Camera doesn't matter.
:00:57
It matters.
:00:58
I wantyou backwith Pete.
:00:59
No.
:01:01
Look, Lanie, he is the best.
:01:02
I can't workwith him.
:01:03
Look, I don't know what happened
:01:05
between the 2 ofyou--
:01:06
- Nothing happened.
- Whatever!
:01:07
Doyou want thisjob
or don'tyou?
:01:09
Doyou want to go
network or don'tyou?
:01:10
Pete is network.
:01:11
He worked for 5 years
in New York on nightly news.
:01:13
You turn the camera on,
you point it at the news.
:01:15
What is the big deal?
:01:16
Lanie, would you do me
a favorjust one time?
:01:18
Do what I say.
:01:35
Lanie: So I'll ask
a few questions.
:01:37
Just relax,
and I'll be back in 5.
:01:39
Ready? OK.
:01:41
OK, I've got 2 kids
for interviews,
:01:43
and the manager said we could
have 30 seconds ofshow footage.
:01:45
Oh, hey, Pete.
How areyou?
:01:47
You know, it's really
good to seeyou again.
:01:49
I've missed you.
You know, Lanie,
:01:50
thanks a lot for asking.
:01:51
It's nice to seeyou, too.
:01:52
Under the circumstances,
I think it would be best
:01:54
ifwe kept things on
a purely professional level.
:01:56
Defiine ''the circumstances.''
:01:58
We have to work together.
