AND... LOOKIN' AT THE CLOCK RIGHT NOW,

IT'S 8:25 ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING.

THE STREETS OF CINCINNATI ARE DESERTED.

THE POLICE SUSPECT FOUL PLAY.

AND SPEAKING OF FOUL PLAY, DIG THIS.

AT HUTCHINS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WE CARE ABOUT YOU.

FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE... GOOD MORNING, JOHNNY.

LISTEN, YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL ABOUT THE NEW CONTEST?

NO. I GOT YOUR MEMO ALL ABOUT IT, AND I'VE BEEN PLUGGIN' IT SINCE I WENT ON.

OKAY. GOOD ENOUGH. HEY, LISTEN,

HOW DID YOU GET CARLSON TO GIVE YOU THE PRIZE MONEY FOR THIS CONTEST?

IT TOOK ME A MONTH, BUT I FINALLY DID IT.

I TOLD HIM ABOUT AN ARTICLE I READ IN ONE OF THE TRADE MAGAZINES,

HOW THIS PSYCHOLOGIST DREW A PARALLEL

BETWEEN A STATION MANAGER'S CONTEST BUDGET...

AND HIS VIRILITY.

SO HE GAVE YOU A BLANK CHECK?

SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YEAH.

AT HUTCHINS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL, WHERE MALPRACTICE...

IS RAPIDLY BECOMING A THING OF THE PAST.

SO, BE SURE TO ASK ABOUT THOSE HUTCHINS GIFT CERTIFICATES...

FOR THE MAN WHO'S CONTRACTED EVERYTHING.

♪♪ I WANNA TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME ABOUT...

THE INCREDIBLE WKRP MYSTERY MUSIC CONTEST...

WHERE YOU CAN WIN $5,000 IN CASH.

THAT'S RIGHT, WE'RE TALKIN' ABOUT IT, SWEETHEARTS. $5,000.

THE CONTEST STARTS THIS FRIDAY, SO TELL YOUR FRIENDS,

TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS, TELL YOUR CREDITORS.

$5,000?

THE PRIZE IS NOT $5,000. YOU READ THE MEMO WRONG.

IT'S $50! $5,000 IS THE CONTEST BUDGET FOR THE WHOLE ENTIRE YEAR.

OH.

I'M SORRY.

HEY, ANDY, MR. CARLSON JUST CALLED.

HE'D LIKE TO SEE YOU AS SOON AS HE GETS IN.

YEAH, RIGHT.

OH, HI, HERB. HI, BAILEY.

I GUESS YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CONTEST. OH, YEAH. A REAL MESS, HUH?

OH, THAT'S A REAL PITY. YEAH.

$5,000?

$5,000! OH!

MR. CARLSON? WHAT?

YOU'RE BEING CHILDISH ABOUT THIS.

I AM NOT!

BOY, IS THIS GONNA MAKE MY MAMA MAD.

MISTAKES HAPPEN. MISTAKES?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS LIKE? WHAT?

THIS IS LIKE LOSING PETE ROSE.

OH, COME ON NOW, MR. CARLSON.

IT'S NOT THAT BAD. YES, IT IS.

MR. CARLSON, PETE'S GONE.

BUT LIFE MUST GO ON.

BUT PHILADELPHIA?

WHY PHILADELPHIA?

HMPH.

YOU MIND IF I COME IN?

UH... MR. CARLSON?

YES?

LOOK, UH, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,

I'M REALLY SORRY.

MISTAKES HAPPEN. YEAH, BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL... RESPONSIBLE.

WELL, NOBODY'S PERFECT.

YOU'RE NOT PERFECT. I'M NOT PERFECT.

JENNIFER MAYBE, BUT...

NOBODY ELSE. WELL, YOU KNOW, I...

I DON'T HAVE ONE. UH, LOOK, SIR,

VENUS AND I THINK WE GOT A WAY OUT OF THIS THING.

I DON'T CARE. WHAT?

MR. CARLSON, PLEASE LISTEN TO ANDY. NO!

DO YOU WANNA LOSE 5,000 BUCKIE-WUCKIES?

WELL, OKAY.

BUT I WASN'T ACTING LIKE A BABY.

I KNOW YOU WEREN'T.

WILL YOU GET OFF OF MY DESK?

SHEESH. ALL RIGHT. NOW, WHAT'S THE IDEA?

LOOK, SIR, ALL WE GOTTA DO IS MAKE THE CONTEST SO HARD...

THAT NO ONE CAN POSSIBLY WIN IT.

LOOK, WE CUT TOGETHER SOME SONGS SO CLOSE, NOBODY CAN GUESS 'EM.

AND AFTER TWO WEEKS, WE ANNOUNCE THE CONTEST IS OVER. NO WINNER.

WE KEEP THE MONEY. YOU GOT IT.

YOU KNOW, VENUS, YOU'RE A CREDIT TO YOUR R...

UH, UH, CREDIT TO, UH...

PROFESSION. YEAH. YEAH, TH-THAT'S THE WORD I WAS LOOKIN' FOR RIGHT THERE.

YEAH. OKAY!

BUT IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, YOU'RE ALL FIRED.

HEY, IT'LL WORK, BRO.

YEAH? OKAY. WE'LL SEE.

ALL RIGHT, ONE MORE THING. WHAT ABOUT JOHNNY'S RESIGNATION?

OH...

WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE OFF THE HOOK, FEVER.

ONCE MORE, YOU HAVE CHEATED THE GRIM REAPER.

HERE YOU GO.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE! YOU OKAY, JOHNNY?

IS IT IN STRAIGHT? IT'S GOTTA BE STRAIGHT. YEAH, IT'S IN STRAIGHT.

YEAH, BUT PUT IT RIGHT UP AGAINST THE EDGE. IT'S UP AGAINST THE EDGE.

HI. BAILEY!

BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO HOLDIN' BACK...

WHEN IT COMES TO ERIC "CLAMPTON."

YOU KNOW, I'VE REALLY ENJOYED WORKING HERE.

HEY, LOOK, MAYBE THE COUGH WILL GET TO PESOLA FIRST.

MEN, AT EASE.

NOW, I HAVE TO TELL YOU WHAT YOUR JOB IS... TAKE THAT HILL AT ANY COST.

SOME OF YOU MAY NOT COME BACK.

I WANTED TO GO WITH YA. HERB?

- WHY ARE YOU TALKING TO YOURSELF? - NO REASON.

UH, LES, SIT DOWN.

MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE.

OKAY.

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT'S GOIN' ON AROUND HERE? NO.

TRAVIS HAS MADE A BIG MISTAKE.

A $5,000 MISTAKE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

NO.

I'LL TELL YA. YOU'RE THE NEWS DIRECTOR, LES.

I'M THE SALES MANAGER.

WE USED TO BE BIG SHOTS AROUND HERE BEFORE CARLSON HIRED TRAVIS.

- BUT NOW WE'RE NOBODIES. - WE ARE?

- ESPECIALLY YOU. - ME?

SURE! BUT THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO TAKE OVER AGAIN.

HOW?

WELL, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LIKE TRAVIS.

I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT.

BUT WHAT IF HE HAD TO GO?

I MEAN, JUST WHAT IF?

I DON'T THINK I WANNA HEAR ANY MORE OF THIS, HERB. YOU SEE,

THERE'S A LOT MORE GOING ON AROUND HERE, LES, THAN YOU REALIZE.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS IN REVOLUTION. AND NOT JUST HERE.

BUT EVERYWHERE. AND YOU KNOW WHO'S AT WAR?

NO.

IT'S THE DUNGAREES VERSUS THE SUITS, LES.

THE WHOLE WORLD IS IN TWO ARMED CAMPS.

OVER HERE, WE HAVE THE DUNGAREES, AND OVER HERE THE SUITS.

REMEMBER THE RIOTS IN THE '60s? IT WAS THE DUNGAREES VERSUS THE SUITS.

AND THEN WATERGATE. THOSE GUYS ARRESTED WERE WEARING DUNGAREES.

AND WHO SUFFERED FOR IT? THE SUITS.

EXACTLY. BUT THERE WERE ISSUES, HERB.

THE ISSUES... THE ISSUES, LES, WERE A SMOKE SCREEN.

NOW, LISTEN, WHEN A SON DISOBEYS HIS FATHER,

WHAT'S HE WEARING?

THE SON? MM-HMM.

UH, DUNGAREES!

AND WHAT'S THE FATHER GOT ON?

PROBABLY A SUIT. DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN, LES?

YEAH! AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT'S WORSE?

WHAT? THE FATHERS ARE BEGINNING TO WEAR DUNGAREES TOO!

THAT'S RIGHT! AND SO ARE THE MOTHERS.

IT'S JUST LIKE THE BODY SNATCHERS. EXACTLY! EXACTLY.

THE BODY SNATCHERS.

THE DUNGAREES ARE FORCING THE SUITS RIGHT OFF THE FACE OF THIS EARTH!

OOH! BUT WE CAN'T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN.

WHAT CAN WE DO, HERB? SIT DOWN!

I MEAN, SIT DOWN.

WE... WE GOTTA GET TOUGH.

I'VE GOT AN IDEA THAT'LL TURN THIS WHOLE THING TO OUR ADVANTAGE.

GET US BACK SOME OF THE JOBS THAT WE USED TO HANDLE AROUND HERE.

I MEAN, TRAVIS CANNOT CUT US OUT OF EVERYTHING.

I'M WITH YA, HERB. GOOD.

LET'S GO SEE THE BIG GUY.

HERB? YEAH?

DO YOU KNOW WHO I THINK IS BEHIND ALL THIS? WHO?

LEVI STRAUSS.

COULD BE.

YOU KNOW, JENNIFER, LES NESSMAN WAS IN HERE JUST YESTERDAY,

AND I... I THINK HE'S PUT HIS FINGER RIGHT ON IT.

YOU KNOW, MR. CARLSON, I THINK I SHOULD GET BACK TO THE PHONE.

NO, NO, JENNIFER. NOW, JUST STAY AND TALK.

NOBODY'S GONNA CALL US.

OKAY.

LET'S SAY THAT A CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED.

HUH? ALL RIGHT. AND JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT,

LET'S SAY THAT THE CRIMINAL'S BEEN CAUGHT.

UH-HUH? ALL RIGHT. AND NINE TIMES OUT OF 10,

WHAT KIND OF PANTS IS THAT GUY GONNA BE WEARIN'?

WHAT?

UH, WELL, LET ME JUST, UH...

NOW, LES... LES NESSMAN HAS THIS THEORY, YOU SEE.

AND I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT HERB TARLEK AGREES WITH HIM TOTALLY.

LES'S THEORY IS THAT, UH,

OUR CULTURE GLORIFIES YOUTH,

WHILE AT THE SAME TIME, HAS NO RESPECT FOR...

THE RESPONSIBLE, HARDWORKING SUIT-WEARING ADULTS...

THAT HAVE... HAVE CAUSED THIS COUNTRY TO FUNCTION ON A DAY-IN TO DAY-OUT BASIS.

NOW, ISN'T THAT AN INTERESTING THEORY?

IT'S OKAY.

WELL, DOESN'T THAT GIVE YOU REASON FOR, YOU KNOW, THOUGHT?

HMM... NO.

I SEE.

WELL, JENNIFER, I'VE CERTAINLY ENJOYED THIS LITTLE CHAT.

WELL, THANK YOU. SO HAVE I. AH.

OH, I'M SORRY. MAY I SEE YA A SECOND?

YEAH, OKAY. I'LL JUST GO MULL THIS OVER.

YOU DO THAT. YOU'LL FIND IT DARN INTERESTING.

JOHNNY WANTS TO PAY BACK THE $5,000.

REALLY? MM-HMM.

BUT WE CAN'T ASK HIM TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, CAN WE?

WHERE'S THE MONEY?

AH... COME ON, NOW.

WH-WHAT'S THIS? IT'S ONLY $12.50.

THAT'S RIGHT. HE CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY IT ALL AT ONCE.

HE'S GONNA PAY 12.50 A MONTH TILL HE GETS IT ALL PAID OFF.

HOW MANY MONTHS IS THAT? 400.

WHAT ARE WE TALKIN' IN YEARS? UH...

THIRTY-THREE.

WHAT ARE YA, A SMART ALECK?

OH, LOOK, IT-IT'S A GESTURE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. SURE.

I MADE A GESTURE MYSELF. PUT HERB BACK IN CHARGE OF PROMOTION...

AND LES BACK IN CHARGE OF STATION PUBLICITY.

I DO THAT. NO, NOT ANYMORE.

YOUR JOB IS TO PROGRAM THE MUSIC THAT GOES ON THIS STATION...

AND KEEP THOSE OTHER DUNGAREES IN LINE.

DUNGAREES? AH, COME ON.

DON'T PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.

HOLD ON. WAIT A MINUTE, MR. CARLSON. HERB AND LES?

HERB AND LES DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

WELL, THEN HOW COME IT WAS HERB AND LES...

THAT CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO GIVE THAT $5,000 PRIZE AWAY...

TO MR. PESOLA IN CASH.

IN CASH? YES, SIRREE, BOB.

WE'VE BEEN PROMOTING IT ALL MORNING ON THE AIR.

WE'RE ALL SET, BIG GUY. $5,000 IN CASH.

YOU GUYS SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY SITTING AROUND.

TRAVIS, DON'T RAIN ON OUR PARADE.

MR. PESOLA JUST CALLED FROM DOWNSTAIRS. HE'S COMING UP EARLY.

- OH, NO. - HIS WIFE'S IN THE HOSPITAL.

SO WHAT? HERB...

I'D BETTER GO CALL THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

YEAH. I'LL GET THINGS SET UP OUT HERE.

HERB! RIGHT.

AREN'T THOSE BOYS ON THE BALL?

THIS IS TARLEK, HERB TARLEK. HOW DO YOU DO?

MR. CARLSON, THIS IS MR. PESOLA.

AH, MR. PESOLA. HOW DO YOU DO?

I'M FINE. LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY ABOUT COMING UP EARLY.

- BUT, UH, MY WIFE'S IN THE HOSPITAL. - AH, NO!

THAT PRIZE MONEY IS GONNA PAY FOR THE WHOLE OPERATION.

NO KIDDING? NOW, ISN'T IT NICE HOW THESE THINGS WORK OUT. HUH?

OH, MAYBE WE COULD COME BY THE HOSPITAL LATER AND GET SOME PUBLICITY PHOTOS.

LES, THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA. OOH!

UH, THERE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE SOME PHOTOGRAPHERS HERE NOW.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, HERB. WE CAN TAPE THE WHOLE CEREMONY FOR MY 12:00 NEWS SHOW.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

LES NESSMAN, TAKE ONE.

START.

UH, MR. PESOLA, AS MANAGER OF WKRP,

IT IS MY JOYOUS PLEASURE TO PRESENT YOU WITH...

THIS $5,000 CASH PRIZE...

TO HELP PAY THE HOSPITAL EXPENSES FOR YOUR WIFE'S...

UH, WHAT WAS HER OPERATION FOR?

FOR YOUR WIFE'S OPERATION. CONGRATULATIONS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SAY SOMETHING. SAY SOMETHING. RIGHT!

UH, "WPRK" IS MY FAVORITE RADIO STATION.

I LISTEN TO IT ALL THE TIME. HOW'S THAT?

- CAN WE FIX THAT? - FIX WHAT?

WELL, I, UH, REALLY HAVE TO BE GOING.

THANKS AGAIN. OKAY.

BYE. OH, UH, JOHNNY. JOHNNY, THIS IS MR. PESOLA.

MR. PESOLA, THIS IS DR. JOHNNY FEVER.

PLEASURE. AH, PLEASURE'S ALL MINE.

LISTEN, UH, YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR MUSIC.

THANK YOU. LOOK, I REALLY HAVE TO BE GOING.

LISTEN, I'LL WALK DOWN TO THE CAR WITH YOU. OKAY.

HOW'S THAT COUGH? MY WHAT?

- YOUR COUGH. - IT'S BETTER. MUCH, MUCH BETTER.

MEN... SON OF A GUN.

YOU GUYS DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB TODAY.

I THINK WE'VE PROVEN...

HI. I'M HERE FOR THE MONEY.

- WHAT MONEY? - THE PRIZE MONEY.

WAIT JUST ONE MOMENT HERE, DUNGAREE.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL OFF?

I WAS TOLD TO BE HERE AT 11:30.

AND... AND IT'S 11:30, AND I'M HERE.

- CALL THE COPS. - NO. NO COPS. NO COPS.

LOOK, I'M DON PESOLA. I SWEAR. I...

I BROUGHT MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE...

AND MY WALLET AND EVERYTHING.

I FIGURED YOU GUYS WOULDN'T BE DUMB ENOUGH...

TO JUST GIVE AWAY $5,000 WITHOUT ASKIN' FOR IDENTIFICATION.

T-TRAVIS!

HELP ME, TRAVIS!

HEY, WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

OH... WELL, THE WAY I SEE IT, UH,

THERE WAS THIS CON MAN, YOU SEE, AND, UH...

AND HE KNEW ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING,

AND SO HE WANTED TO GET HERE BEFORE YOU DID, AND...

WELL, TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT,

THIS MAN AND I HAVE JUST BEEN FIRED.

HERB! LES!

YOU'RE FIRED. SEE?
